A Sicilian brigand met rich banker
and relieved him of half the contents
of his pocket-book, leaving him the re-
mainder to defray his homeward ex-
penses, and promised to guide him by
a short cut.
Presently, after long walk, they
reached wayside inn, where they in
tended to dine.
"Are you arme6?" asked the brig
and, as they approached the door.
Armed. Why"

Ex-Governor Leland Starford's new
residence at Menle Park, California,
will stand almost in the center of plot
of ground about 40 acres in extent.
The approach to the house will be
through grand, straight drive, bound
ed by stately elms, and by sinuous
pathways decorated with the choicest
shrubs. Surrounding the house on all
sides will be an arboretum that prom
ises to be one of the most unique of it's
class in the world. Governor Stan
ford's intention is to procure from all
parts of the world shoots, cuttings,
plants and seeds, if need be, of every
tree that is likely to succeed in Califor-
mia. He has already received many
thousand cuttings and young trees.

THE STORE AND THE TRADE,

A study of this ground plan, incom-
plete as it is, will give you a better idea
of the store, and of what is in it, than de-
scription can do. The store covers III
acres; a basement is under, and galleries
are over, a part. The whole affords
somewhere about s acres of room.
This particular business is a. years old;
it began in 1876 with clothing; in 1877
it became a general store with such goods
as you see in the plan, with carpets, up
holstery, furniture, and kitchen-furnishing
upstairs. Since that time gallery after
gallery has been ado ed; and there is
not an inch of room to spare anywhere
To the surprise of many, it has Aourished,
while trade was languishing almost
everywhere else.
To us there is no mystery about it,
nothing surprising even; unless it be
surprising that so conspicuous business
should ever be misunderstood, We do
nothing more than simply to provide
facilities for your getting what you want.
We don't mean to say that other
facilities are not provided for distributing
goods but that's a different thing.
We provide so that you get what you
want. exactly aohat yon aOantI In the
FIRST place we've got it. In the second
place we send it. And if we send you
the wrong thing, or if you think the
charge is too much, you bundle it back
Smyrna times. [volume] (Smyrna, Del.) 1854-1987, 1880-11-24

to us.
We tell of these things in the news
papers, because there are thousands of
you who don't know what we are
doing; thousands of you don't know the
character of the stock that fills these s
acres; thousands of you who, therefore,
buy where you pay more money.
We are every merchants fair and
open competitor. We do not expect to
gather millions of trade from all over
the country without meeting opposition
and misrepresentation. Some will be-
Geve whatever is said against us. The
only answer we make is: Send back
whatever you don't want at the price.
We want your trade. You want our
goods; or would want them, if you
knew. No matter how far away you
may be; you will do we'll to send to
us for some things. We ask you to
write to us about something you have
present occasion for.
When we get in communication with
you, we shall have one means of winning
your trade, viz, by pleasing you. When
we have won it, we shall have one means
of keeping it, viz, by dealing with you
as we deal with everybody: giving you
large return for your money, and sup
plying your wants so intelligently that
you will write us for what you want as
naturally as you say good morning"
to your next-door neighbor.

Old wInnemucca Dead.
Reno Gazette, September II.

memo Udxsns, osPteniosT AA'
For a few days past o report has been
In circulation among the Piute Indians
on Pyramid Lake Reservation that old
winnemucca is dead. and that he met
the Destroyer under very mysterious and
suspicious circumstances, indicating foul
play. It seems that many years ago
this old dser.hupter hunted and caught
q dear, which hetook to his wigwam-a
dusky mate from one OF the Indian
tribes in Oregon. and by whom he had
one daughter. This daughter. 'as the
years rolled on. grew to woman's estate.
aud in due time gave her heart and hand
in marriage to n Of the tribe TO which
her mother belonged.
A few weeks ago, as the story runs,
old W~iunemucca. on his way, per.
haps, to Mslheur Reservation. visited
the tribe where his daughter resides.
and urged her to leave her house and
husband and accompany him on his
journey. To this the daughter. her
husband. and In fact all her ,kith and
kin, objected. After repeated ufgings
and reiusals the old warrior departed on
q pony. taking with him, however. .
gun belonging to his son-in.law. His
expectant friends. failing to greet his
arrival as they hoped, instituted q search
for the missing chief. he could not be
found. In Q few days the pony which
he rode away returned to camp without
its rider. but with blood plainly visible
on his side. The Indians followed back
the trail by which the pony returned,
and soon found the l%ifel.ss body Of the
old man prone upon the ground. but re-
vealipg wounds sufficient to show that
death had not resulted from natural
causes.
Such 10 the story. whether true or
