 BUSINESS MEN You will at this season be approached by drummers, who will show you samples and bid below living rate for your business stationery. They go out in dull seasons when it is deemed best to do work at no profit, or even at small loss, in order to keep working force together. They give you lower prices than they will or can afford to give their home customers just to get your patronage started, and expect to make up the loss on future orders you may send them. Do you consider that system of cutting rates away from home square deal
 The Press will furnish office stationery, printed in the best style, as low as any office in the country can afford to furnish it, and if your continuous patronage is given to this office you will auerage in the end better terms than you can get from drummers. Our soork soiH hold out full count. Stock furnished is al- ways equal to samples shown. We buy stock from first hands for cash, and we respectfully ask that you compare our regular prices, stock and quality with the arerage prices, stock and quality of other printers.

Vacation is over! Young and old have listened with varied emO- tions to the ringing of the school bell each morning and noon of this week. Work must now take the place of play, for all play would just as surely make ssJack' a dull boy as all werk. Some of the chil- dren have been barefoot this sum- mer, and now they find that their toes are not comfortable i'm their old shoes. Strange, isn't it, how toes will grow in two months 2. Others have worn their old shoes as ssgOOd enough to play in, but they can wear them no longer; so all the children must have new shoes.

Two Portraits Of Claverhouse.

Two Portraits of Claverhouse.
From Macmillan's Magazine
A striking instance is furnished at the Stuart
exhibition recently opened in London by the
two portraits Of the famous John Graham, of
Claverhouse, viscount Of Dundee. One painted
by Lely, and lent by Lord Strathmore, is the
mere conventional court soldier that Lely
always painted, as he always painted the con-
yentonal court beauty; q handsome, naughty
figure enough, it might be anybody or nobody;
in fact, it bears a strong likeness to Rupert of
the Rhine, as we see him painted by Sir God
frey kneller. But the other done by some un-
known hand, and lent by Lady Elizabeth Mel
vile Cartwright, is a most astonishing thing.
Beautiful, as Demosthenes sagely observed at
time when the warning was, to say the least,
not superduous is not the epithet of a man;
shape, features and coloring it might be the
face OF beautiful women in her prime, save
for the frmness of the faultless mouth and
chin; grave, passionless face, not stern nor
cruel, but resolute. There is an engraving of it
in Mark Napier's book, but it might as well be
the engraving Of a turnip. This BARRING that
Sir Walter has given it q pair of small mus
tachios) is the face that, as we read In ..Old
Mortality" dinners loved to paint and ladies
to look upon;" yet this can hardly, presume,
be the portrait Oockhardt calls it an original)
that used to hang in the study in Castle street.
VI course everyone knows that Dundee was a
remarkably handsome man, and singularly un-
like in manners and appearance to the '.bioody
Claver,se' of whig tradition. but if he looked
like this, he must have been "bonnie'' indeed.
Young or old, plants of Grace or Disg1 ace,
never q woman but must have wished luck to
him

The Feeding Of London.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel
"Never knew patrolman to be around when
wanted" was the remark some one was heard
to make. Superintendent Kleinsteuber, of the
police alarm telegraph, has just patented an in
vention which he claims will find policeman
when wanted, and an experiment is to be made
this week. The invention includes an cleo
trical clock apparatus, and the machine is to
be put on the lamp-post at the northwest cor
ner Of Grand avenue and West Water street,
Immediately over and connected with the police
patrol box. The invention is such as to work
night and day, and is operated entirely by an
electric button in the electric at the police
station. By touching the button In the station
four ''white-wings" are drawn out and dis
played, q signal to. the officer in the vicinity
that he is wanted, 30 that he can imme-
diately telephone from the patrol box to
the station for instructions By night a
red globe is made to rise and inclose the
nal which can be seen several blocks away, in
dicating like the day signal that the officer is
wan ed at the telephone for instructions Then
when the officer has received his orders the
same button in the central station is touched
and the apparatus resumes its original place.
While the invention might be valuable ad-
dition to the police alarm system II Is intended
to be more applicable to railroads, where it can
be made to work automatically and indicate a
misplaced switch either by day or by night, the
signal to be 30 plain as to give un engineer
time to avoid accident. Even should the switch
be purposely misplaced, and the wires to the
signal be tempered with, the signal, which it
Is intended to erect on high poles out Of any
ones reach, would immediately show that the
wires had been cut

The Depth Of Pathos.

from the New York Sun.
In wealth of unaffected pathos what passage
in any literature surpasses this lament Of a
member Of the John ]. O'Brien association lust
returned from Washington:
such crowd! And nothing to eat-ask q question
and nobody knew anything-hslf dead for want Of a
drink-no more Inauguration for me-"
The situation as thus described may remind
students Of American literature of Capt. Robert
J: Cooks too little known poem, Musings at
East Rock"
Then the sky seemed an eye
That continually did cry;
And the mud was deep and damp,
And the roads were soft samp.
And yet, Great Scott, weren't we dry!"
