A COMMON SENSE IDEA.-Farmers
and other out door workers, have long
suffered from the too rapid wearing out
CT the soles Of their Rubber Boots,
Dirt and gravel when wet, offer the
best possible tools for cutting and
grinding away the rubber sole, and to
this destructive agency Rubber Boots
are continually exposed, from the very
nature Of their uses. Some two years
ago, however, the "CANDEE" RUBBER
Co., of New Haven, Conn, hit upon
the idea of making their boot soles
double thick in that part which under
goes the greatest amount of wear. By
their invention the extra rubber is ad.
ded on the ball just where it is needed,
and no where else. So that while the
boot is increased one hundred fold in
durability, the weight is but very
slightly increased. This improvement
known as the Double Thick Ball, is
advertised in our columns by Messrs.
Sage & Co., of Boston, the "Candee"
Co.'S Distributing Agents, and those
of our readers who are interested in the
matter, can investigate for themselves
by examining the goods on sale at those
of our stores which deal in Rubber
Boots.

dorsed unanimously by the trade
as a great improvement and giving per-
feet satisfaction to their customers. -
Many say, it is the only Stylographic
Pen worth having at any price. The
New England agent of the Union g.
Central Pacific h, r., writes: Il

Champion, after having tried several
other makes. Since receiving the Pen
and having become accustomed to its
use, it would be like q relapse into
barbarism to return 10 the old STYLE

Pen for 500, if could not replace IL.
l consider it the best Pen in the market.
This new Pen, which is rightfully
called the champion" contains valu-
able features never before combined in
any Stylographic Pen, but the princi'
pal feature is a compound spring
formed from a tube of hard rubber,
while other Stylographic Pens, haye
fine gold wire or metallic springs, which
soon rot and corrode.
In order to successfully introduce to
the public this new and valuable instru-
ment the Dunlap Stylograph Co., 296
Washington ST., Boston, Mass,
manufacturers Of the Penn have re-
duced the price to $500 each for plain,
and $3.50 each for gold mounted
They will (for short time only send
by return mail Champion Pen, six
months supply of lux, and beautiful
gold mounted pencil, on receipt of the
price of Pen. The Pen is the same
in style and finish as Pens sold every
where at $3.50 and $500 each.

MnlaEEEE!

Why do we sell the best Ponce Poto
Rico Molasses for SOC per gallon?
1t needs no argument to demonstrate
that it is better for us to sell an article
that pays us good profit, than one
that pays us almost nothing. But per-
baps it never occurred to dealers Git
did not to us till suggested by a friend
we admit it) that the trade was driven to
buying just the poorest paying article in
their entire stock. We refer to the mo-
lasses and sugar business. We sell
more sugar and less molasses because
sugar is so cheap. There IS tie mis-
take. Sugar is cheap and so is moas-
ses at wholesale. Dealers never find it
out in selling at retail till obliged to.
We speak plain, as we believe in telling
things as they are. If we make half
cent on sugar, what is our percentage
of profit? Seven per cent, what is
double that percentage Cor IA per
cet) on molasses. Take II molasses
that costs 45c, and IA per cent is $40
cents gallon. But how is molasses
sold that costs 45c? Probably all the
way from 60 to SOC, or in other words
getting from 33 Is to IS per cent
profit. The result is that molasses to
the consumer is not cheap and they
buy sugar, where in many cases molas-
ses would be preferable if sold as it
should beat fair profit. You say
you have got off the notion of using
molasses, using sugar instead. Now
we propose to bring about change,
and put molasses on the ground it
should hold in connection with the
sugar business, partially from a selfish
motive and partially for the good of
our customers-for It's mutually bene
fetal. Molasses as it is selling to-day,
with a fair profit to the retailer, is
cheaper for the consumer than sugar.
Economy is from choice, and in many
cases from necessity the order of the
day, and now is the time for you to
exercise it by buying molasses at a fair
price instead of sugar. We sell our
molaas,s as we sell all our goods on
the principle OF HLarse sales at small
profits, for prompt pay" We do a
cash business, and can sell from to
10 per cent less than those who run
accounts from six months to year.
Why! Because we turn it over three
or four times to their once, 10 per cent
three or four times being as good as
80 or do once. Do not stick to the
old time notion Of buying goods here or
there, simply because he is a good fell
low, has always used you well, etc.,
but go where you can buy the best
goods for the least money. We do.

Charles Rcade in Private Life.

Charles Reade was in private life
amiable and lovcablo; nevertheless,
from his disregard of Talleyrand' 8
maxim, Surtout point de zele, he was
perpetually quarreling with friends.
Not even Walter Savage Lander could
have surpassed him in wrath and Or
nate invcctive when he anathemized
any opponent of his pet crochets. He
forgot what he had said as soon as his
indignant fits were past, but those who
had been scorched by his fiery tongue
or despatched by his sarcastic pen
sometimes had more retentive memo
rics. In his intercourse with ladies he
had much of that refined politeness and
old world gallantry which are CUSTOM
airy among foreigners, but less SO with
us; and yet the variability of his tenn
per would make him descend with
startling and amusing rapidity from
the lofty tone Of II Grandson to the not
very high style which distinguished the
differences OF Mr.. Chucks. the boatswain
in Peter Simple Not that Mr., Raade
ever INDUCED III exactly the same kind
of language mat did Mr.. Chucks; but,
for instance, when he was on the stage
rehearsing one of his plays no actress
could for moment find grace for his
objurgations il she did not without
word or look of dissent accept all tho
commands lie issued rs to her playing
and even as to her dress. With actors
he was quite as despotic, and this some-
times led to sharp wordy encounters,
in which, however, Charles Reade was
always victor-iu the first place be-
cause he was not the man to yield, and
in the next because his advice, in sum,
was as good as Hamlet's. But when
all has been said OF Charles Reade, it
must be repeated that he worked to
honest purposes, and no memoir Of him
would be complete if it did not recog-
nize the kindness Of heart which was
the dominant trait Of his character. He
was, in truth, SO warm hearted, and
had such \ rich imagination to contrive
schemes which his beneyolence suggest
ed, that most of his faults, literary or
personal-and these were venial ones
at the worst--came from wishing TO do
too much good and struggling to do
that much too quickly.-London Times.
