From Behind the Counter.

The man who goes into business with
the idea that goods will sell themselves
frequently gets a chance to start over,
but on a different plan.
The customer who slwayssVVants down
weight, is equally careful to pay, twelve
cents for shilling.
Don't take the buyers word that his
jug lust holds a gallon.' -Four quarts
never crowd such jug.
The trade of the small boyers who
settle weekly is more valuable than that
of the rich man who is too solid to pay
oftener than once i'll six months.
When credit is ask ed, stop and inquire
of yourself whether you would have lent
the man ten dollars if be had stopped
you on the street and asked you for the
accommodation.
If an account cannot be paid at the
stipulated time. don't let 1t grow any
larger. If your customer cannot paw a
ten-dollaT account, how can be pay one
of twenty dollarsY
Never expect pro1t by selling goods
to pic mic committee.
When granting credit to a man, It Is
immaterial to ask whether. he is q church
member.

Character in' Cigar smoking.

If man smokes hIs cigar only enough
to keep it lighted, and relishes taking it
from his mouth to look at a curi of
smoke In the air, set him down, as an
easy-gOiDg man.
Beware of the man who never 7eleases
bis grip on his cigar, and is Indifferent
whether it burns or not. He Is. cool,
calculating and exacting.
The man that smokss bit, restsa bit
and fumblss the cigaH more or lees, is
easily affected by circumstances.
II the cigar goes OJe frequently. the
man has whole-sOuled disl Is a
harum-scarum sort of fellow, With a
lively brain and glib tongue, and gen
orally fine fund of aneedote.
A nervous man, who f1mSles his cigar
great deal. is a sort of pOpinjay among
men.
Holding the cigar constantly between
the teeth, chewing it occasionally, AID
not caring if it is lighted at all, are the
characteristics of men who have the To-
nacity of bulldog.
The fOp stands his cigar on. end, and
an experienced smoker points it straight
ahead, or almost at right angles with
his course.

A RrARTLIrG FACT,

II is not commonly known that large
proportion Of the rheumatism and neu-
ralcia extant is trsceable directly TO the
diseased condition or imperfect action OF
the kidneys and liver; therefore remedy
which cures the resulting disease must
have found and smitten the first cause.
Many persons using Athlophoros for
rheumatism and neuralgia have been
surprised to find that chronic disorders of
the liver and kidneys have also been
greatly relieved and they have written
for an explanation. The fact is, that the
remedy acts directly on these organs,
cleansing them from all irritating sub
Stances and regulating their action. Taken
in connection with Athlophoros Pills this
is, without exception, the most valuable
kidney and liver remedy in the world, and
will cure large proportion OF those who
have these disOsses.

THUMSEH,s PRRUSCTION.
The Indian Chieftain's Lucky Guess
And Its Results.

Connected with the great earthquake
period of 1911-12, occurred one of the
ronances of American history. 1t WAS
the lucky prediction of the great earth
quake that made the fame of Tecumseh,
lhe celebrated Indian False Prophet, +"
and led to the uprising Of the Greek
Nation and the bloody Indian war that
Followed.
Teeumseh was a ShawDse warrior, and
first appeared among the SemiDOles IN
Florida and the Creeks in Alabama and
Georgia as early as 1910, endeavoFing TO
form them into a confedeTscy, whose
aim it was To rise up against the whites
in the Northeast and eXteTminste hem.
He failed! and on The breaking out of
the war With England, IN 1912, entered
he British service and again seS cut to
str up seditioR among the SoEfhrTB
Indians. He had been told by the En-
glish when a comet would appear, ana
he told his excited Indian hearers S,Iat
at a certain time they would see his arm
stretched ont over the sky on fire, ard
that he was going TO Detroit to prepare
them for their'Tsing against the Amer
leans. When the proper time came be-
would strike The ground 50 hard with
his foot that he wou'd shake down the
houses OF their head city.
He left the Greeks, and at the time
when be promised To smite the ground
strange TO say there came the great
earthquake, All the territory border
ing on the gulf WAS agitated. The
ground of Alabama trembled like an
aspen, while from, the earth came terri.
flying Iumbles end groans. The town
OF TOOck abatchH, the capital of the
Creeks, was shaken To ruins aud AS the
earth heaved and shook the frightened
Indians ran from their dwellings crying:
"Tecumseh is at DetToiuI Tecumseh s
at Detroitl We feel the stamp of his
foot" At the eaBe time the comet
appeared in the heavens. This was too
much for the sHperstitious Creeks.
They rose to man, and after two
years of sanguiDaEy 6ghting they were
a defeated and Tljned nation. Tecum-
sch was killed at the battle on the
Thames in Canada October 8, 1879 by
American troops under :he command of
Col. Richard NJ. johnson of kentucky.
Tecumseb, who was serving in the En-
glish ranks, commanding a band of
Indians, was carried off the field by his
followers and buried, no one knows

An Elephants Aemory.

An amusing circumstance happened
at Hythe recently when an elephant be-
longing to circus freely helped him
self to an early breakfast. 1t appears
that between 3 and O'Clock in the
morning the animal managed to effect
his escape from his companions, and
paid a visit to a house with which his
memory had a pleasant associstion-a
little shop at the corner of Market
street. On arrival at the place the
elephant found that it was closed, but
nothing dAuDted he coolly lifted the
door off its hinges and used literally
of the contents of the shop, potatoes.
apples and sweets, When he had either
satisfied his appetite or had exhausted
the supply of good things he retraced
his steps, and on the return journey he
was met by his keepers, who had in the
meantime become aware of his absence.
The animal in question visited Hythe
about elevn years ago and in passing
this house was treated to mess of po-
tatoes. This seemed to have left SO
good an impression on the animals
miLd that he was led to pay another
visit to so pleasant a spot, with the
result above recorded. About the same
time the next morning he again got
awav and was making for the same
place when be was discovered by his
keeper and taken back TO the show.

Irish Landlords.
Everything They Own Squeezed Prem the
Peer Peasant.

Dublin would be the most beautiful
city in Europe but for two things
its buildings and it's people. The aris-
tocracy, so-eslled, live In tumble-down
villas. which though their white walls
sparkle in the sunshine, prove, when
approached. to be painted SHELLS sur
rourded by ruined gardens. The in
habitants Of all these villas are a set of
broken-dCwn landlords, who have been
compelled.to close their country houses
and come to town for economy sake;
widows living on the dowIy paid them
by their elder brothers, aud mortgage
creditors. who 1--we on the mortgages
that they or their ancestors have placed
on the land; for in Ireland, with the
exception of few distilleTs and brew
ers, who live on the drunkenness of the
people, there is no possible mode of OBJ
taiEing living save from the peasant
farmer. The Sooialistic axiom that
capital is only a useless value, the
toll of the worker beiug unpaid is in
other countries mitigated and almost
lost sight of in the multiplicity of ave
nues through which money must flow
before it falls into the pockets Of the
rich. But in ireland the direct and
rude transfer of money from the horny
hands Of the peasant to the delicate
fingers of the landlord has horrible
smell of slavery.
In Ireland the landlord does absolute
| ly nothing save to grab all the money
that the peasant can scIape together.
( An Irish landlord said. "I have always
done, now do and will continue to do
( just as the other landlords, for it is as
/ impossible for me as for the rest of
4 my class to DO otherwise; but that does
! not prevent me flom acknowledging the
! fact that it is a worn-out system, at
/ war with the nineteenth century, and
something that should at once be abol--
/ ished. In Ireland every chicken that
goes into the pot, every glass of cham
pagne drunk, every silk robe that rustles
on the street, every rose worn at the
ball, is so much squeezed out of the
misery of the peasants hovel. A few
years ago this tribute for that is what
it is-was accepted without a murmur
just as feudalism or slavery was accept
ed IN other lands. But now the scales
have fallen from the eyes OF the nation
and the sore is LAID bare in all its ugli-
ness.
