Kney Are Not Large and the Business
Is in = Bad WAY.


Tho prominent booksellers of Boston
have not achieved such encourage
ment from the holiday book trade
that they can look upon the prospects
Of business with complete satisfaction.
There ought to be a reorganization
Of our business" one of the most in
fuential booksellers said recently to
a newspaper critic. publishers and
book dealers should combine in plac-
ing the trade upon a new basis. A
popular fallacy is that we dealers
make large profits, bat nothing can be
farther from the truth. The people
forget the discounts, the continual
cutting and cutting from our profits.
What does the publishers price
mean2 Nothing at all"
People certainly buy books at
cheap prices. According to the adver-
tisements of some dry goods establish
merts, people are buying tlSRir books
at almost nothing"
Don't you understand that? Take
paper novels, for instance. The firm
Du9S tne DOCKS Dy the nuuoreuS az
about s cents apiece, although the pub
fishers price is 25 cents apiece. The
advertisement announces books at 10
cents apiece, reduced from 25 cents
I'm supplying large libraries there is
less profit than you imagine. A library
requires certain book which can only
be obtained at distant city. We send
for the book, pay the postage, which
is 10 cents or over, and supply the
library at the usual discount The
profits cannot be very large on that
sale"
As there is undoubtedly an impress
sion that book-selling is lucrative
business, the dealers assertions bring
new light. Part of Boston's reputation
as literary center rests with its book
stores, some of which are famous as re
sorts for literary men, as places for
literary interchange. If there is
needed a reorganization between book
publishers and dealers all literary Bos-
ton would encourage a change that
might result in benefit.

Royal Baking Powder
Is Absolutely; Pure

NNTHILE there are so many alum baking pow
w ders in the market, the use of which all
physicians decide render the food unwholesome
and liable to produce dyspepsia and other
ailments housekeepers should exercise the ut
most care to prevent any powder but the Royal
from being brought into their kitchens.
In the use of Royal there is an absolute
certainty of pure and wholesome food.
The official State Chemists report The
Royal Baking Powder does not contain am
monia, alum lime, nor any injurious ingre-
dents It is absolutely pure and wholesome.
The Government reports show all other
baking powders to contain impurities
In the use of any baking powder but Royal
there is uncertainty if not actual danger
1t is unwise to take Chances in matters of
life and health.

ESCAPE OF THE DOC.
Civilization Taught the Brute Trich
Worth Knowing,

CIVILIZATION Taught tne Brute Tr1ch
Worth Knowing,
Mr.. Dennie Reed, ayoung man about
II years of age, who occupies the posi-
ton of cook at the Coffee Mill claim in
California, had quite thrilling ex-
perience with large California lion
lately. The following is his experience
in his own language:
ION Friday evening, while sitting in
front Of my cabin in Indian Gulch alb
sorbed in reading a very interesting
book, my attention was attracted by a
very peculiar noise. at first thought
it was fox or a coyote, but you can
imagine my feelings when looked up
and discovered that was in very close
quarters with large California lion,
and that he was slowly making his
way toward me, snarling and showing
his teeth.
Fortunately I am the owner Of a
large dog who happened to be by my
side at the time. The dog took in the
situation at once and started toward
the lion, growing and barking at
every Jump. The lion turned his at
tention at once from me and started
on run for the dog, but the dog was
equal to the occasion, and to my aston
ishment made for a large pine tree
some twenty yards away, with the
lion in close pursuit. On reaching the
tree the dog disappeared as if by magic
in cave that had probably been dug
by some prospectors in the early days
and used as a dwelling house.
At the further end of this cave an
upraise had been made through the
solid lava, answering the purpose of a
stovepipe or a fireplace. The upraise
being very fat through it the dog made
his escape. The lion, after giving a
couple of unearthly yells, skunk away
in the brush. and I can assure you
that had no desire to follow him to
see where he had gone"

.sYouR TURN NExT..
Dream Of Lady aud the Tragedy That
Followed IT.


Followed 1t.
It is related that a Waterville,
Maine, lady, Mrs. ]. NJ. Cook, once hid
a very remarkable vision. In her
dreams she met a man with peculiar
physiognomy, who said to her, Your
turn next" and then disappeared.
The next morning she remembered
the mans face perfectly, but could not
recall under what circumstances she
met him.
Again she dreamed the same thing.
For weeks and months after she would
occasionally have the same dream,
without the slightest variation. She
began to be seriously troubled over
the occurrence and at length decided
to leave town. She had been in
Philadelphia a few days when she had
occasion to go into one of the large
buildings. Upon the second floor she
noticed that there was an elevator,
and decided to wait for it. Just at
that moment it came down, and as it
went by the second-story landing a
voice from within said: your turn
next"
This startled Mrs Cook, but she
thought it merely accidental that
these were the precise words of her
dream, and resolved to repress her
fears. The elevator came up and
stopped She stepped in When the
door closed she looked at the man in
4
saw that he was the perfect image of
the man of her dream. Her terror can
be better imagined than described.
She recovered herself quickly, and
ordering the elevator to stop at the
next landing, got out The elevator
went on, but when q short distance
from the third story something gave
way and the car crashed down to the
basement, killing the man instantly.

Use OF Tobacco by Southern Women.
One hears much of snuff dipping
among Southern women. but the prac-
tice is falling into desirable desuctude.
The usual mode is to chew the end of
a stick into brush, and with that to
rub powdered tobacco on the teeth
But while dipping is disappearing,
smoking is general practice among
women of all ages and colors, and it
rather shocks the Northern traveller in
the ''moonshine" country to see a rosy
mountain Venus going about her
homework with a corncob pipe stuck

The Blockade Raised.

Thursday afternoon at about 4
O'Clock several hundred people con-
gregated at the depot and along the
road leading thereto, to witness Supt.
Green's train "the Blockade BUSTER
pass through. Having been shut
off from trains and mails for nearly
ten days, the train attracted more
attention than the first locomotive
that ever passed over the road.
The train dashed under the Eaton
vile bridge at 40 mile gait, and
as it came down the curve, the way
the snowplow lifted into the air the
four foot of snow was sight to be-
hold. The crowd sent up cheer
and the gallant engineers gave res
Spouse through the whistles OF their
great moguls. The snow pillow was
pushed by three large, mogul en-
gines. "Frenchy" was the conduc-
tor in charge, and Supt. Green was
in his car attached. This sturdy
official has been right at the front,
during all the rough weather, buck
ing the mountains of snow. Over
in the Rocky Mountains it has been
thirty-fve feet deep in places and
ten feet deep on a level. One of the
delays in getting the road open was
occasioned by the rotary snow pillow
on this side of the mountains break
ing down.
Supt. Green's train was followed
in about two hours by west
bound passenger which was made
up at Kalispell and which picked
up number of bclated passengers
at this point
The first overland passenger ar
rived about ten o'clock Friday
morning and the first east bound
train passed through about an hour
later, bringing the first big con-
signment of mail.
