fHE HoUSEHoLDER'S DIFFICULTY.
A Comparison of the Old Way and the
New Way of Buying and Selling.

! A Comparison of the Old Way and the
| New Way of Buying and Selling.
Any householder, whose happiness it
Is to pay for the supplies of a family,
must be aware of the extreme difficulty
| Of getting with any certainty a steadily
good article of almost any sort. 1t Is
easier in the case of luxuries, for the
reason that for these the demand is more
limited, the number of purchasers small
er, the number Of producers correspond
ingly small and the chance of tracking
bad work or untruthful statements great
er. But for the things which every one
must have, and which most must have
as cheap as may be, buying is a lottery
with a miserable prevalence of blanks.
You can get yirtuOus butter for dol
lar pound, but the search for eatable
butter at forty cents a pound is weary
and depressing pursuit. 1t is the same
with the innumerable articles Of cloth
ing and materials of clothing. From
the hat that grows gray in a months
service to the shoe sOles that viii not
stand days rough tramping, the things
that are turned out in large quantities
for "the million" are not trustworthy.
think the chief reason is that in our
complex and widely ramifed system Of
exchanges the producer and the con-
sumner rarely come into direct relation
with each other. The former rarely
knows, and still more rarely cares, for
the opinion the latter may have Of him,
Of his methods, his character and his
goods. The seller deals today with one
set Of buyers, tomorrow with another.
and so on, and the buyers change their
places Of purchase with the greatest fire.
Quency.
The relation indicated by the old fash
toned words ''custom" and customer"
is dying out, and with it the possibility
Of accountability and the hope Of profit

tail dealing is that most abominable de-
vice the bargain counter" where cheap
ness, real or imagined, is the main thing

OUR CHIEF GONE.

Colonel Murdoch left the city yester-
day, to join a party of friends at Flor
ence en- route to the mountain region OF
Colorado, where they expect to remain
a month, or as long as may be necessary
for them to recuperate from the health
giving effects of the mountain atmos-
phere, camp life and brook trout diet IN
unlimited quantity. And, as the region
in which the camp is to be pitched is
beyond the reach of the wires and mails,
the party's pleasures will not be dis
turbed or marred by daily occurrences
shat seem to conspire to make the world
a community of lunatics.

many political addresses IN the near
future. Another feature is added to this
issue of the Arena, entitled Books OF
the Day." 1t consists of several pages of
critical book reviews which are given in
addition to the 128 pages OF essays which
appear each month. In this department
able criticisms by the editor, Mr.. Ham
lin Garland, Professor Buchanan, Rev.
Howard MacQueary, and other critical
writers will appear, which will greatly
add to the value of the Arena and are a
clear gain to the readers. 1t is evidently
the settled purpose of the management
of the Arena to make that review busy
mans library. The August Arena IS
brilliant and unique.

Cotton Is four cents per pound lower in
price than it was year ago Wheat is
higher, the advance being due to no change
IN conditions. but merely TO q shorting OF
The worlds crop.-McPherson Freeman.
The unprecedented crop Of last year
S,500,000 bales-was the cause of the de.
cline in the price Of cotton, while the
worlds shortage is the cause Of the ad.
vance IN the price of wheat These facts
seem to be pretty conclusive proof that
the question Of supply and demand is the
controlling factor in fixing prices. Nev-
ertheless the volume of money in circu
lation has much 10 do with the case.

Missouri Is threatened with a case OF

weekly papers in the state ale said to be

nection with the nomination for COVER

Francis was too much for him at that
time. The reverend politician is a prom.

A new issue has come up in Oklahoma
in regard to the statehood question. 1t
may be a surprise to a great many to
know that there is party that desires
the Indian territory and Oklahoma to
rome into the Union as different states.
While we are not ready to cross river
until we come to it, it does seem that
the typographical, agri cultural and nat
ural features of the grand dominion on
the south urges a pool in this matter.
Oklahoma and Indian territory have a

There are said to be 156, 973, 873 watches

that accounts for the predisposition on
the part of SO many people to procrasti-

set to bring them-up on time and neglect
to make the necessary personal effort.
