story Of Edwin Booth, illustrating his
method of dealing with the class Of
women who find something irresistible
and fascinating in the men who earn
their living before the fOOtlights. He
was travelling in the ears one day when
he heard an extensively dressed, hand
some, middle aged woman back Of him
sigh and say to her companion: 81 would
give fifty dollars to kiss that man."
Booth turned and looked at the speaker.
"Do you mean that?" "Why, yes, OF
course do" replied the woman confus-
eddy, looking In a helpless sort of way
at the tragedlan and the smiling passen-
gers. "Well l accept terms, madam"
exclaimed Booth. And / stand by my
proposition" and rising, she imprinted
a sound kiss on the actors lips. Booths
face did not betray the slightest emotion.
He received tho kiss stolidly and did not
return it, but waited until the impetu-
Gus woman found her purse and handed
him q $50 bill. He took the money,
thanked her, and turning to feeble
shabbily-dressed woman who was travel
ing with two young children, placed the
money in her hands and with c0urtly
bow said: "This is for the children,
madam. Take it please" and without
another word he left the car.

A Little Rock ARK. special says: A
private letter from Omaha, Ark, gives
an account Of the discovery Of a mur-
der that was committed in that vicinity.
A man giving his name as Sanders,
and stating that he was from southern
Kansas. was prospecting for minerals
through Arkansas and Missouri, near
Kirbyville, No. lie was taken sick
and stopped at William Leach's house,
where he was seen for q few weeks,
but finally he disappeared and all trace
Of him was lost. Leach said he had
gone to Eureka Springs, Ark, while
other members Of the family said he
had returned to Kansas. The human
skull unearthed by dog near Omaha,
Sunday. led to search. and the re-
mains subsequently found were ldenti-
fed as those Of Sanders and indicated
he had been murdered. A chain Of
circumstances show that Leach mur-
dered and robbed the man, and con-
veyed the body out Of the State IN .
wagon and buried it.
Leach is a brother-in-law Of the Tay-
lor boys, who were lynched in Tsney
county, Mo-, last month. lie fed the
country and escaped similar fate.
He was located and arrested at Marion
vile, No., and will doubtless be lynched
when brought back to his former neigh
horhood

THE STRONGEST ARGUMENT.

After all, the best test Of acceptable service
on the part OF any merchant IL the number
Of permanent customers he secures. Some
clothing houses assume that "a bird In
hand IN worth two la the bush. !" and take
chances OF their customers return after no
has once been plucked. But alas! the sup
ply OF new customers finally runs out. and
IL Is only question OF time when the art
ful dodger " is left without any more lambs
TO shear. We have a large ana rapidly
growing constituency, 10 which we refer
with pride. Many Of our patrons having
dealt with US for years, send lots Of their
friends To us tO be clothed. The verdict OF
the public is that our MEMS, BOYS, and
CHILDREN's CLOTHING Is THOROUGH
LY RELIABLE, and WE LAY MORE
STRESS UPON THIS POINT than any other
feature OF our business. Downright honesty
is what we insist upon, both as regards ths
manufacture OF our goods and the treat
ment OF our customers. We make mistakes
sometimes. Who does not? But the person
does not live who can truthfully assert that
when Informed OF n fault In our clothing
that we ever refused to make IL good. our
assortment Of SPRING SUITS FOR MEN
AND BOYS Is extensive and elegant. and
we respectfully invite public attention To
the same.
