out a name would smell as sweet -
nevertheless, just=at the dawn of
this last decade of the nineteen
century, in the year of grace 1890,
there is quite a good deal in a
name.
A clothier without name and
reputation is heavily handicapped
in the race for trade. People like

and hearty endeavor to please
customers.
The reputation of a c]othier is
the accumulated evidence Of many
transactions with many customers.
A good name can only be founded
on continued merit in merchandise
and fairness in dealing. We can
be surpassed in neither.
Our name has value to you. 1t

save money by buying better
goods for less money than else

Heavy Trading in Wheat.

CHICAGO, August 12.-There was large
trading again today and the feeling was
unsettled and feverish. Prices fuctuated
frequently and quite wildly at times dur
ing the session. The market opened very
weak and panicky, but closed 1c higher
for September and 11sc higher for De-
cember than the closing figures yester-
day. The early weakness was attributed
to the decline in corn and to the news
about the Russian crop, which was gen
orally known yesterday.

of wheat were 80 cars; shipments 80 cars

SOLVED AT LAST.
How Arnold Bertram Would Gle

How Arnold Bertram Would Clear
Up the Servant Girl Difficulty.
If there is one subject upon earth
which passes the solution OF men and
women tits the servant girl question.
You cannot enter household in the
city, where-supposlng they hire help
you will not hear some complaint or
other if the servant girl comes up for
discussion. While the WomentoIk
habitually yearn for the time when the
hired girl has ceased to usurp the gem
eral veal of her domestic life, and the
men, too, hope for the time when there
will be no need to danger their souls by
periodically charging the atmosphere
with sulphOrous smell, there are so
many difficulties to overcome it is queS-
tionable whether any real relief can be
secured. Nothing daunted with the
vast Importance and magnitude of the
task before him, Arnold Bertram is
filled with the belief that he has the So
luton. He talks in this strain:
There are general complaints of
scarcity of female help for housework,
and no one appears to be able to prop
erly explain the cause. Let me give
you my explanation: First-MaDy fam
lies 90 not treat their help as they
should, and girls complain that they do
not get enough to eat. Everything is
locked up after meal time. They are
compelled to work late at night, rise
early in the morning, and then many of
them do not get their pay. Any girl
would Get discouraged doing homework
under such circumstances. Girls go to
an office asking for hotel or factory
work after they have done housework
for three or four years. They say: Il
am sick of doing housework. The last
place | ad only got half enough to
eat" Another Door girl, with tears in
her eyes, says: 81 did not get my pay.
and the lady kicked me out of the
house" Treat good girls right, and
you will have nothing to- complain of.
Then. again, there is the complaint that
the girls are getting poorer every year;
that they are becoming more careless
and incompetent, do not understand
homework or cooking; running out too
much evenings; not coming home until
morning: want the Thursday afternoon
and Sunday all day. Such is the talk of
the ladies. There should be a law or
city ordinance requiring every employ
ment office to take out license and give
bonds, to be forfeited if legitimate
business is not done. The city council
should have servant book recorded at
the city hall in which all the girls should
be required to enter the date when they
went to a place and when they left.
After few years we will not have half
as much trouble, for any lady can see
how long girl worked at place where
she has worked, and wha. kind of work
she has done. l shall. after this an
nOuncement, have all my lady customers
get up petition to be presented to our
city fathers, and get them to agree to
such a proposition. Have spoken to at
least twenty-five ladies and they were
willing to sign it.

Good Chess.

San Francisco Examiner.
j. M. WheatStone. the contractor. has
Chinese cook whom he will back in a
game of chess against any Monaghan in
the city. Mr.. Wheatstone and his
friend, Mr.. Walker, were playing chess
last Sunday night, and the game had
reached a point where Mr.. Wheatstone
thought he saw defeat staring him i'm
the face. He touched his queens
knight in an apologize sort of way and
was about to say white reslgns'' when
Ar Kan, who had been summoned to
mend the fire, and who stopped for a
moment to watch the game, grayely
said:
''Three times more you catch 'em.''
what do you know about it?' de-
manded Mr.. Wheatstone, while his guest
looked the surprise he was too polite to
express.
Kan bushed to the roots of his queue
for permitting the gaming instinct. so
strong in all of his race, to get the bet
ter Of him. Without Offering to explain,
he escaped from the room, but at the
end of an hour was recalled, because
the two players could not solve the
problem which he had intoluntariIy set
for them. Kan timidly approached the
board, and, upon being urged to show
what he meant, gave the coup de grace
IN three moves. The two white men
then joined forces. but were easily de-
feated time after time by this Paul
Morphy of Picking.
where did you learn to play like
that?'' asked Mr.. Wheatstone, who pre-
viously had plumed himself on his
proweSs.
ME ,ketehum how play in school
house when me little boy like so big.''
said Kan, indicating the height of tile
table.
Recently several able amateurs have
met him at his employers residence, and
he has won nearly every game.

The Mississippi Almost Black
With Skaters.
Skates, skaters and skating were OBJ
served in plentiful profusion OH the
frozen bosom of the Mississippi during
the whole of Christmas day. Men,
women and children embraced the op-
portunity of a holiday to enjoy this

Kinks on the river did an immense bust
ness: at the same time the stretch of ice
between the Wabasha and Smith
avenue bridges was covered with
hundreds of people for whom the narrow
circles of the rink were too small
too give free scope for speedy
and long distance skating. The light
fall of snow did not impede their prog

daughter. lover and maid, brother and
sister, and even the little tots of six and
seven years of age, reveled i'm an after

has been possible to obtain for two
years past. Old Santa Claus brought

doubted if any he gave was of more
universal satisfaction to the public
