THE CASH GROCER,
WILL SAVE YOU MONEY.

A trife over four years ago we
started in the Retail Grocer busi-
ness on the corner of Ohio and
Sandusky streets. We had a little
store 2ox6o feet. The neighbors
said We were on the wrong side of
the street and there were too many
grocery stores, anyway. As our re-
ception wasn't very cordial we felt
like cat in a strange garret.
For some reason the rest of the
people did not agree with our
neighbors, and at the end of six
months we knocked a hole in the
wall and took in another store. And
right then we formed a very bad
habit, for regularly every six months
after that we either built an addi-
ton or took in another store, till
now we occupy 5 stores, extending
IFS feet on Chic street and 100
feet on Sandusky. This habit is
too strong to resist. So here she
goes again.

A NEW story is told of Oliver Wal
ton, who in his day was the greatest
dealer in good horses near Boston. On
one occasion he came into Maine and
bought an extra good horse for $500
The horse breeder was one of the mig
gardly kind and asked: "How are you
going to lead the horse away?" with
that halter, to be sure" said Walton,
busy counting out the money for the
horse. "No, sir" said the breeder,
Athe halter don't go with the horse, il
belongs to me. did not sell you
that" What, not let me have hal
ter after l have given you your price
for the horse?" asked old Oliver, lit
tie surprised. what do you want for
it?" "A dollar, sir" said the farmer.
All right, said Walton, @here is the
dollar" He put the rest of his money
in his pocket, then stepped quickly to
the horses head and remarked: al will
take the halter but guess 1 will not
take the horse" He took off the hal
ter, let the horse go loose, and the
breeder had many long day in which
to repent of his overreaching.

the next near the upper edge of the

edge of his dress.
Now remember that the proportions
must harmonize. The outline of the
top of the head is almost across the
middle of the square in which it is, O
little below she middle: make it so on
your sketch. The distance from the
back of the head to the forehead takes
in about thirds of the width of the
square. The hair hanging down be-
hind reaches little below the middle
of the square, and directly opposite
that, toward the window, is the
child's hand. From the child's eve to
the lower outline of his chin takes
about one-third of the square. The
lower edge of the sash is in the middle
of the square horizontally, and the
outline of his waist is in the middle of
it vertically. His shoulder and the
point under his arm divide the square
into three equal divisions. The right
foot reaches the middle of the lowest
square, etc.

Working through the groove, and
projecting from the angle of the fork,
is q lance Of perfect edge sharpened
with fine bevel. Beside it the most
perfect lance looks like q hand-saw.
On either side of the lance two saws
arc arranged, with the points fine and
sharp and the teeth well refined and
keen. The backs of these saws play
against the lance. When the mosquito
alights with his peculiar hum it thrusts
with its keen lance, and then enlarges
the aperture with the two saws, which
play beside the lance until the forked
bill with its capillary arrangement for
pumping blood can be inserted. The
saving process is what CRATES upon the
nerves of the victim and causes him TO
strike wildly at the sawyer. Halls

An Operation That IL Not 70 Dinicuit ~

There are great many things which
seem very mysterious and difficult to
accomplish till after few simple words
of explanation. Then we wonder why
we never discovered the easy solution.
It seems strange that any one who has
practiced drawing should not soon
know the easiest and most exact way
to enlarge q picture, but the fact is,
many young artists do not find out this
little secret till after they have bothered
themselves greatly and mourned over
many unsuccessful efforts.
You see in the pretty outline picture

hind him, while he gazes intently out

inches wide and five inches long. i
have divided it into square inches.
Now if you wish to make q picture
twice as large as the original, take q
piece of paper of sufficient size and
draw q panel six inches wide and ten
inches long, and then divide it into
squares measuring to inches each way.
You understand Immediately that as
the original picture is divided into
fifteen squares, so your copy will have
also fifteen squares. but those in the
copy will be twice as wide and twice as
long as those in the original. already

making the picture "twice as large"
