Macbeth's "pearl tor" and
"pearl glass I" lamp-chimneys
are made of tough glass that
costs four times as much as
common glass; and the work
on them costs a good deal
more than the work on COM
mon chimneys, just as the
work on a dress is proper
toned to cost of stuff.
The dealer is right in saying
he can't afford to sell them at
the prices of common glass
chimneys.
And what will become of
his chimney trade if his CHM
neys never break |? He is apt
to be wrong there. He can
afford to charge a fair price
and give new chimneys for all
that break in use.
Have a talk with him.

THE INDIANS WILL NOT ENLIST.
They Abhor Misunderstanding News as
to Geronimo.
by telegraph to the Dispatch


WASHINGTON. d. c., April 3.--The news
received at the War Department of the
results of the efforts being made by west
ern army officers to carry out the provi-
sions of the army appropriation bill au-
thorizing the enlistment in the regular
army of 1900 Indian recruits is very dis
couraging. 80,
The officers report that the Indians will
not enlist in the infantry under any cir
cumstances, as they abhor walking. They
will not enlist in the cavalry except as
scouts because they do not care to bind
themselves to five years service. or to sub
ject themselves to removal TO distant parts
of the country. Then, too, they want their
women with them, and the great majority
of the bucks are physically unfit for mill
tary service. II Is doubted whether o
single Indian company can be recruited i'll
the West.
But the outlook in the South is more
hopeful At Mt. Vernon barracks,
Alabama, where the Apache Indians who
led the Geronimo campaign are placed, 1t
is said that all of the Indians-some thirty
five or forty-are about TO enlist. These
Indians are said to DO progressing rapidly
in the path of civilization, and the almost
incredible fact is reported that the
renowned warrior Geronimo, who was for
years the terror of the West, is now a
prominent teacher in the local Sunday
school and attends services regularly every
| Sunday morning to keep order.
