The Spring poet is a curious
freak in November. Hear him
croak. How funny he is. Why
doesn't the newspaper man
take up his Autumnal evolu-
ton as a stock joke? His faded
platitudes are dry as fallen
leaves and less beautiful. After
all "the melancholy days" the
"saddest of the year" are hearty
days-very hearty. When
the air nips life moves. Frosty
pumpkins, not dead leaves, are
the symbols of the season.
This store is the heart of
this community the centre of
life. Activity is now regnant
here. The pulse of trade is
strong. That means happi
ness and comfort through the
community.

country play, and although some few things about 1t smack more oi burlesque than of realism, still it presents a fairly faithful picture of New England back country lie. The feature ol the play is in the last act. The scene represents the county fair. The horses which are to race are led across the stage by their jockeys, while the country folks are gathered round. Suddenly the house is plunged in total darkness. Then as sud denly the stage is lighted at the back and the audience, still in darkness, saw three horses, ridden by their jockeys at the top of theIr speed, while the laNd. scape went flying by. The audience be- came wildly excited and broke into cheers. Cold Molasses, the hero of the play, was recognized by the colors of his jockey. The hero was little be- hind, but inch by inch he crawled up and shot under the wire neck ahead, while the audience crazily stamped and hurrahed. Then darkness again, fol- lowed by light, and the scene was the same as before the race. Cold Molasses was ridden on by his jockey and again the audience broke into cheers, so real had it seemed. He had won the purse and lifted the mortgage from the old lsdy's home.
 It was wonderful illusion. But how prosaic, though ingenious, was the ar rangement by which it was effected. The horses ran on endless belts, some. thing like treadmiIls. But the audience did not think of the mechanism. it only saw the flying horses. It was the most exciting scene 1 ever saw on the stage.

a shrewd NIerrhnnt,s Wnr.

A writer recalls the habit A. t
Stewart had of making the round Of
his statesmen and inquiring how Their
stock was going. II an article would
not sell at a dollar he ordered it marked
down to scventy-flve cents.
His theory was that if merchant
had bought unsaleable goods, or slow.
selling goods, it was good business
policy to put a price on them that
would make them go. So he prevented
the accumulation Of bad stock that got
worse every day, and he had his capital
to put into something else.
The best Of buyers make mistakes.
Tho shrewd retail dealer not only tries
to retrieve his error BY marking down
his goods, but nc gets them into''the
newspapers and sets the people to talk
ing about his bargains.
The merchant who takes the home
newspapers into partnership with HIM
has no accumulation of unsaleable
stock. The public gives him no chance
to be overloaded, but helps him to keep
up healthy circulation Of merchandise
and money.

While the stone bridge people have
been talking about bridging Wheeling
creek with a stone structure the Bridge
and Terminal Company has bridged
that stream in three places with sub.
stantial structures Of steel.
The Wheeling Bridge Company has
completed steel bridge over the back
river and has another SO far advanced
across the main Ohio that it will proba-
bly, be ready for business before the
stone bridge hole on the south side OF
the bridge can be filled.
These steel bridges have the addition
al advantage that the companies that
built and are building them knew when
they began what the cost would be.
Ii the people of Wheeling had not
been misled they would now be using n
fine bridge over the creek at Main street
that would have answered all the pur-
poses of stone bridge at that point for
years to come.
Instead of this there is stone bridge
scheme stuck in the mud-no bridge, no
money and no stone bridge advocate
coming to the front to show where the
money is to come from.
The cleanest way out of the dilemma
is for the stone bridge men to acknowl-
edge their error and ask the people to
authorize six per cent loan for a steel
