One thing we would not
have you who may perchanceI
read this "ad." believe, not
for a moment-that the four
lines Of poetry are original
with us; neither would we
have you believe our souls are
possessed of sentiment suf1i-
cient to even appreciate some
Of the sweet poems Of Milton
or Father Ryan. The four
lines are 50 true to nature, so
true to Our experience and
observation in life, that we
concluded to use them and
tell you all the history Of the
author.
The author of these lines of
poetry was indeed one of the
happiest men our life has ever
known. " Happy Nc" was
his name. We loved him, but
aIasl what a sad ending to his
seemingly happy life! He was
seemingly a prosperous mer-
chant in one Of the most beau
tiful cities in the South. No
one knew aught to the con-
trary. But alas! in the rear
of one of the best kept hotels
in all this southland Of ours
the report Of a pistol was
heard, and on examination
Happy Nc" had sent a bull
let crashing through his brain,
and there, in a big goods box,
he sat, stopped over, with pis-
tol in hand-dead! This same
box had contained goods billed
to him on long time and da-
ted ahead. On investigation
it was found that he could
not meet his bills, and poor
"Happy Nc" preferred to end
his own life rather than have
his friends know of his dis
grace and ruin.
The tickle wheel Of fortune
does not always grind out gol-
den coin for the rich. Every
day there are failures recorded
by people whom we would
least expect to hear Of. Fail
ures la the mercantile world
are always recorded. Failures
of farmers and mechanics
the backbone and support
of the world-are rarely ever
heard of outside Of the Sher-
ifs office or some Justice of
the Peace, brought about gen
orally by a rotten homestead
or lien law. Still, we have
them every day, and many
and many are the happy
homes-the humble homes =
that are wrecked by the mons
ter, Debt! Pain and sorrow
brought to the wives and
daughters Of our farmers and
mechanics. So beware of it,
Shun it'll Cash dovn-glitter-
ing gold or glistening silver

new YORK RACKET STORE,
Market St., johnson City, Tenn.

w lleu we udnueu 10 the
printer this advertisement we
tickled him greatly, and day
by day do we tickle to laugh
ter and groans some wayfarer
who perchance steps into the
Racket Store and has Racket
prices named on our goods.
Merchandising is a strange
thing. 1t is a wheel within a
wheel. Manufacturer sells to
jobber, jobber sells to retailer
and retailer sells to consumer.
Now listen! Did you ever
stop to think, reader, what a
throngofp people theCoNsUMER
had to support. Well now its
awful. Where does the foun-
dation lie? The support and
comfort brought to the homes
OF the many, many happy
families in this large world of
ours-all from the farmers,
the mechanics, the Daily La
borersl One question here.
Think over YOUR list of ac-
quaintances. Do you know
a rich man or woman to-day
anywhere who made their
wealth on a farm, or at an
honorable mechanics bench,
or at any kind of daily labor?
The world is so unreal that
the riches of the few and the
poverty ofthe many will new
er be accounted for. Often
have we visited the great city
of New York, and never
while there has our heart
gone out with more true Joy
than to see the laboring peo-
pie enjoying the freedom of
Central and other parks there
as they do during the long
hot, sultry DAYS in summer.
Indeed, it is a pleasure to
watch those laborers, with
their wives and children en-
joying the freedom, liberty
and fresh air of those places
provided for them. Again, as
we look upon this throng of
humanityw we can not help but
reflect, and think how un-
evenly this worlds ssweet COM
forts are divided; and again
another thought presents it.
self-that in the sweet day of
rest offered to us all, we will
remember nothing of this
worlds woes and trials, but
will ALL enjoy alike a bliss
full Home, or share together
the tortures of an unending
suffering. Life is what we
make it. Happy here-happy
beyond. Misery here-ETER
NAL misery beyond,
We must digress. The same
rule works in business as in
a regulated home-or a peace
full breast. The New York
Racket Store watches the fail
ures of these "long timed"
Merchants, and with cash
down we buy only such bar
gains as will sell readily at
the price we put on them,
A great many people have
said to us, "Your stock is not
as large as we thought you
would carry" Let us tell
you again, when you look
upon the New York Racket
Stores stock of goods-little
or much-you can well re-
member every dollars worth
is paid for. Truly do we pre-
fer half a loaf, all our own,
than a dozen loaves cleaned
here and there and by from
thirteen to twenty-five houses
owned.

PLEASED WITH THE SPEECH.
British Delegates Much Impressed by tn
Presidents Utterances


Presidents Utterances.
There was nothing half-hearted in the ap-
plause which freely punctuated President Har-
rison's address in the conference today.
The audience was composed of people
of whom a majority were eminent in
the oratorical profession, and they were
quick to recognize the power of the
Presidents utterances. From the opening
sentence to the last word the conference was
critical, and in spite Of their keenness they
frankly declared that there was nothing to
apologize for. nothing to condemn.
Innumerable were the expressions Of delight
that poured from the lips and hearts of all the
delegates, but especially warm and interesting
were the comments Of those whose homes are
in lands other than this. They were accu:-
toned, If ever, to seeing the governing powers
from afar of, and whenever royalty parades
in public there is much pomp and military dis
play.
I'VE shall have to do away with monarchies
afte- this" exclaimed the Rev. W. F. Dawson
OF Glasgow. He was talking to Bishop Hurst
and the remark was made so loudly that every
one in the lecture room could hear it.
The Rev. Z. Lloyd-Jones. the eminent and
eloquent Welsh preacher, said to STAR re-
porter: MY visit to America has realized the
contamination of my highest ideals in
the presence and the magnificent speech
of your President. I should say that
every rational Englishman will return to
England feeling that a republic is the only
true form of government. Never have heard
a man so expressing the heart Of Chris
tianity, and if his position was
simply the result of the accident Of
birth l would never have expected such a de-
liverance The welcome he gave Methodsm at
the White House would have been impossible
at Windsor. If you rolled up all the kings and
queens we ever had since the days
of the conqueror down to the Prince of Wales
you would not make so fine man as President
Harrison. nor could yOu get out of the COM
posite such an able and courageous
speech rs that we heard this morning
venture to say that more Methodists in one
day have seen and been welcomed by the Presi-
dent OF the United States than in fifty years
have been recognized and introduced to men,
bers of the royal family"

the Electric Light Company.
President A A. Thomas of the United Sta ties
Electric Lighting Company wrote the follow
ing letter to the Commissioners today in con-
nectlon with the accident which happened sew
eral days ago by the falling Of telegraph pole
on 14th street:
I'm the month Of June, 1880, and immedi-
ateiy after the completion of the United States
Electric Lighting Company Of their conduit
upon l4th street to Boundary, the superinten-
dent OF that company requested permission of
the then board of District Commissioners to
remove the poles upon which the company
wires had been strung, not only be-
cause the company had no further use
Tor them, but because they were I'M
slightly. and in time would be dangerous. l am
Informed that the superintendents request was
denied, or at least not acted upon by the said
board, but that the poles were at once utilized
oy the police or fire department. or both, and
nave since been in the service Of said depart
ments continuously up to the present.
inasmuch as an accident has recently &C.
Cured near Thomas Circle, growing out of the
falling Of one or more OF the poles that had
pany, by which accident u lady has been seri-
ously and . gentleman severely injured, re-
spectfully repeat the request made by
our superintendent to your honorable
board, that our company be at once
granted permission to remove all tho
poles thus abandoned by us, as heretofore set
1orth; 1t might suggest itself to your honor
for the use of the District, thus
avoiding the laying Of expensive cables and
constructing condults by placing new poles i'll

gage in war than q nation that was unprepared
and know it, Two things must be done before
war can be abolished. There must be a healthy
Christian conscience in regard to the horrors
OF war and an international court Of arbitration

SUPPLEMENTARY REMARKS.
Brief supplementary remarks were made by
Bishop Newman, who took the ground that the
only way war could be abolished was through
the spirit of God and His love.
A distinction must be made between the sell
fish motive OF patriotism and the unselfish mo-
tive OF philanthropy. He suggested the foun-
datlon OF supreme court of the world, with a
chief justice and associate justices, before
whose bar the nations of the earth must appear
for the settlement of Their difficulties. He did
not believe in the disarmament of the nations
