We are Distributors Of Dry Goods

We are distributors Of Dry Goods |
on such scale, as affords undoub-
ted advantages to consumers on the
one hand, and to the largest pro-
ducers on the other.
1t is, of course, impossible for
the manufacturer and the consume
to come into contact and deal dig
rectly with one another. In TIM
gone by, three sets of merch
stood between the buyer ana
maker. First-the impctt
commission merchant who
second-the jobber or W
dealer, who in turn, sold to
the retail merchant. This s..
of business caused three profits >
be placed on the goods before
reached the consumer. Now all
is changed. One profit takes
place of three, and consumer

economic laws permit and meE~

of experience, trial and growth, j
not only necessity and convel

doubtedly money-saving organi-e,
cation on an extensive scale. j.
no other way can the vast ~

each producing but one cl.s

vantage, and at high prices t.
buyers, while the latter, compelled
to 60 to hundred sellers instead of
one, would be under even greater
disadvantage, both as to labor and
in the payment of the higher prices.
A great retail store then, is the out

But to attain the highest
of eff 1iency, and to secure tt
results to the public, the OF
ton must be on a scale stuff .ol
command the markets of the world
in its lines of business; to watch
all markets and to buy largely
when prices are low enough to pay

which product will be rapidly dis

desired-say one yard or twenty

great organization, plus the one
small profit which is small indeed
to each individual buyer.

AN HOUR OF HORROR.

Midnight Murder Whose PeFpstratOr
Was Never brought to Justice,
1t was close upon the hour OF mid
night.
A man sat alone in an upper chamber
whose face showed by its furrowed brow,
glazing eyes and pallid lips the effects of
a terrible mental struggle going on
within him.
Before him were several pages of
manuscript, and his nerveless hand,
convulsively clutchipg pen, was rap
idly adding to them.
Close to his right hand, and frequent
ly touched by it as he piled his pen, was
cleaning, glittering object of ivory, sill
yer and steel-a loaded revolver.
The window beside him was open, ana
through it the night breeze entered and
famed his hot brow. The night with
out was calm and placid. Nature was
lovely, bathed in the light of summer
moon; but the man was obtiyiops to the
beauties OF the night He glanced al
the clock now and then, and, observing
the long hand climbing up the incline
toward the figure -, he redouble1 his
labor at the manuscript
Anon he glances at the revolver On the
desk beside him. He touches it's ivory
handle, as If faltering in his resolution;
and then he continues his writing.
Harkl
What sound is that that is borne on
the breeze OF the summer night? A
long, low wall, like the cry of a woman
in mortal anguish.
The man starts like guilty soul,
dashes the dews of perspiratiOn from
his clammy brow, and utters an inco.
hercnt exclamation.
Again-again, that moaning, uncany
cry.
The man hears it and groans aloud.
He dashes aside the last page of his
manuscript and glances again at the
clock. The hands mark the hour of
midnight He grasps the revolver, and
with resolute air he exclaims: -It
must be DONE"
Going to the window he fires
twice.
There was scampering sound in the
yard beneath. and next morning gray
cat was found dead close to the wood
shed. The night eqi so reporter had
fulfilled his mission. America.

lacks that closeness in money matters
that stood his grandfather in such good
stead when he began the fortune that
the boy is now spending. The barber
that shaved Mr.. Astor is remarkable
in his weird appreciation of ethics. He
would deal honestly with men of ordi-
nary means, but he has an abnormal
socfalistic idea That the millionaire is
legitimate prey for him. Therefore he
resolved to get very large price for
shaving young Mr.. Astor if he could
manage 1t. After finishing his work he
brushed Mr.. Astor's coat for him with
great care and held out his hand for the
bill that the millionaire was extricat:
ing from fat roll, 1t is one OF Mr..
Astor's habits TO pay for small items
out of one huge roll of bills. The bar
Der passed across the room to his cash
drawer and then. returning, handed to
Mr. Astor two pieces of silver. The rich
youth looked at the money and then at
the barber.
"Wh-wh-wh-y, what's this?" he said.
Change for the dollar you gave me,
sir, responded the barber.
.sBut, cawnfound it, / gave you
twenty-dollar bill.p
sob, no, sir" said the barber. .sOnly
one. Look at my drawer if you like,
and you'll see there is nothing larger
than one there"
Several of young Astor's friends were
with him and so he did not care to dis
cuss such vulgar question as money.
He made up his mind that it was a dol
lar he had given M, and iammed mis- hat
down over mis- ears and went for a walk
on the avenue. The barber tells about
his getting $3.50 for shave.

BARBER COUNTY INDEX.
WEDNESDAY. MARCH 2e, 1890.
JUST HOW IT is.

When you grasp the hand of fortune,
And lightly step along,
The hours glide on like the numbers
OF heart cheering song.
Your pathway is lined with faces
Where smiles and pleasures blends
All the world will offer service
When you don't need friend.
You may sneer at fair discretion,
When solid at the bank.
Your rudeness is mere pleasantly,
And quite the thing for rank.
Men will thrust upon you favors,
And fawn and condescend
TIL you wonder at you kingship,
When you don't need a friend.
They will shout your name in meeting,
Ana vote you into fame.
They will load your board with presents
Ofbric n. brac and game.
They will strain themselves in showing
What kindness they intend,
When sunshine floods your atmosphere
And you don't need friend.
But wait and note how comical
This self same world can be,
When the sun throws not your shadow,
And your hopes go to sea.
You may have heard the cucumber
Has artic chills to lend
Well. the world drops under zero
When you do need a friend.
William Lyle, in Detroit Free Press.
