MAD MULLER.
BY ANOTHER FELLAR

Mad Muller on winters day,
Drove to town on a load of hay
Beneath his torn clothes CLEANED the hue
OF cold, pinched limbs, a sicky blue.
He shivered and shock, as he Slapped the
lines
To increase the speed Of his poky equnes
But neither slapping nor cucking would do,
And Muller was chilled the whole way
through.
Then up he rose, and cursed, and swore---
Such Oaths he never had used before
That he would begin that very day,
AS soon as he'd sold that load Of hay,
To lead different kind OF life,
For the sake OF himself, his children, his wife ;
But he couldn't decide what was needed
worst,
Or what he had better attend to first
A well'dressed neighbor rode down the lane
Counting the gold that was one days gain,
He drew his bride beside the load
That Muller was tugging along the road.
Hello" he shouted, whats wrong, old
boy?
You look as though every earthly Joy
Had long departed and lett you TO mourn"
ayes, that's il" said Muller; "lm tatlered
and torn,
And hungry, and sad, but especially cold
No hope Tor me till this hay is sold"
Anu thcHi shlu tne nelgnOOf, what Ia
propose
Would be Il nice, warm suit Of clothes
YOU feel and act much more like a man,
And get trusted quicker than ever you can
With that ragged Old suit and that battered
hat"
Said Muller, 81 never thought Of that
But here's your barn-just buy this hay,
And I'll take your advice this very day"
The neighbor counted him out the cash,
Aud happy Muller applied the lash,
Till he reached place he'd meier stopped
before,
Twas Saks & COmDany's One Price Store
They fitted him out from head 10 foot
In an inexpensive but elegant suit,
And an hour later glad surprise
Beamed from his recently weeping eyes
lie was dressed 50 nicely, and looked so we'll,
That another neighbor offered to sell
To Muller farm, on terms 10 suit,
And give him his last years crop "to boot"
OF course he took 1t, and he's rich to-day
Got rich through the clothes that he bought
with his hay.
And Muller now says, what everyone knows,
That u be d success you must wear good
clothes.
There's one thing that's necessary, though,
and that is:
You must buy at the place where Muller
bought his.
This lets IN Saks d Company, the Great
Clothiers, Seventh street and Market Space,

How Farmers can Control Prices.

Wheat is the staff of life. The price Of
wheat regulates, in a great measure, the
price OF all other products Of the farm
That which shelters, warns, feeds and
clothes man is the wealth of country, and
is produced by labor on the soil, therefore
raw material ought to be protected in
preference 10 anything else from foreign
competition. The farmers ought 10 regu-
late the price Of the products of their labor
as the manufacturer and merchant regulate
the prices of their goods There would be
as much wheat and corn consumed at one
dollar per bushel for wheat, and fifty cents
per hushel Tor corn, as there is now at lower
prices.
The present low prices of grain are against
the interest OF the wage worker and all pro.
ductive labor; the farmer works harder and
makes less money according TO the capital
invested than any other business man, pays
fve.sixth of the taxes, and only owns one
half Of the wealth of the country.
The problem 10 be solved is, how is the
farmer TO regulate the price Of his grain?-
BY controlling it-farmers 10 build Union
Elevators all over the United States on
railroads and canal lines hold the surplus
wheat at home and feed your sons on the
farm appoint storekeeper TO attend TO the
Elevator, and require him 10 give bond that
he will neither buy nor sell wheat, and keep
his books in bushels and pounds farmers
receipts from the Elevators 10 be in bush
els, and so arranged that he can transfer
part or all of it, and also he can use it as
collateral when he wishes To borrow none y
from the bank; he can sell his wheat at
such times as he thinks best any perso n
who has money 70 buy a carload of wheat
can become wheat buyer and break up all
combination ON grain that has tendency
TO reduce the price furnish wheat 70 the
consumers as they want 10 buy and TO the
spectators when they are willing TO pay
the price 1t costs 10 raise it.
Books will be opened In the County
Clerks Office on the LIST day OF January,
1887, 10 take stock in the Union Elevator
to he built in Hagerstown, Washington
county, Md, at $40 per share.-Hagersto~n

Katie Ricketts,, aged years, months and
IL days, and on December 18th, Lille Rick
etts, aged year, months and % days,
youngest daughters of Henson and Martha

These dear little ones were just entering

Home is sad, oh God, how dreary,
Lonely, lonesome every spot,
Listening for their voices till weary,
Weary for we hear them not.
Farewell, sisters, thou hast left us,
The voices we loved are still,
a place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filed.
Past their suffering, past their pain,
Cease TO weep for tears are vain,
Calm the tremor of thy breast,
For dearest sisters are at rest.

You will observe the slight difference in the
cost OF orr different grades. This is easily
explained. We do not mark goods according
to the amount of pressure lhey will bear, or
rather how high price they will stand, but
we first determine how low we can sell them,
and we mark them accordingly. We name

It's hardly necessary to write a pre-
Jude to an advertisement of plaiu-and
it may be interesting-facts. but when
high-priced clothiers advise the public
not to 60 below $40 for Business Suit
the only inference that can be drawn is
that they don't want to sell goods on a
