Do you not wish to save
money, clothes, time, labor.
fuel, and health, If possible?
ALI these can be saved by the
use of Dobbins' Electric Soap.
Try it once. We say this,
knowing that if you try it,
once, you will always use it.
1t is economy to save one,
two ,or three cents on the
price of a bar of soap, and
lose five dollars or more, in
ruined, tender rotted clothing,
spoiled by the strong soda
IN the poor soap? Washing
powders, concentrated lye, and
cheap soaps, are low priced, to
be sure, but they are terribly
expensive, taking ruined cloth
ing into account.

LATTER DAY CALAMITY.

Mrs. Madge KendaTs RaleIghan Expe-
rience In Boston and Its Outcome.
London is still smiling over a little con-
tretemps between Mrs. Kendall and Arthur
Pinero, the author of "The Second Mrs.
Tanqueray." which took place at dinner
party given by Pinero to the Kendals two
or three nights before their departure for
America
Mr.. and Mrs. Beerbohm Tree, the Ban
erofts, Forbes Robertson and several other
London celebrities were among the guests.
The conversation drifted onto the subject
of gallantry as displayed in these latter
days.
"Let me tell you one Of my experiences
in Boston, an American city, you know"
exclaimed Mrs Kendall. II had been play
ing in The SQUIRE the house had been
packed to the doors, and the audience had
exhibited great deal of enthusiasm. Aft
er the performance Willie was detained in
the theater, so | started for my carriage.
As soon as l opened the stage door, how
ever, found that it was raining cats and
dogs. l was in dreadful dilemma. had
no galoches, no umbrella. The coupe stood
80 yards away, and between it and me lay
a nasty mud puddle.
II was just on the point of calling to
Willie when suddenly noticed that about
20 men in evening clothes were waiting be-
side the coupe to catch glimpse of me as
passed out. AS they caught sight of me
standing on the threshold in perplexity 90
crush hats were whisked off with one con-
sent. There was click like diminutive
roll of musketry as the hats were shut, and
hon ha
ion advanced and laid their hats down in
the mud, thus forming a series Of stepping
stones which reached to my carriage door. "
As Mrs. Kendall concluded her anecdote
dead silence fell on the guests Then
Beerbohm Tree and Forbes Robertson tip
ped each other the wink. Mr. Pinero tit
tered softly behind his table napkin. Final
ly old Mrs. Bancroft recovered herself suffi-
GENTLY to remark, with slight upward roll
of her eyes: my dear Madgel What truly
Raleighan experiences! What extraordinary
quixotic persons these Americans arel''
No more was said on tine subject until the
Kendals' carriage was called. In the hall
stood a footman, holding in his hand a
glass case which had originally held brace
of stuffed birds. AS Mrs Kendall reached
the door Mr. Pinero stepped forward with
his crush hat in his hand. He dropped on
his knee in front of her and laid the hat
down. Mrs. Bancroft, Mrs. Tree and the
other ladies, watching the joke through the
drawing room portieres, were almost in
Mysteries. Mrs. Kendall, furious by this
time, deliberately stepped on the hat and
then kicked it to one side.
Pinero snatched it up, placed it in the
glass case and exclaimed as Mrs. Kendall
made her exit with her head in the air.
Thanks, awfullyl Ill have it stuffed. ~

It Applies to Women Too.

Fight your own battles. Hoe your own
row. Ask no favors of any one, and you'll
succeed thousand times better than one
who is always beseeching some one's influ-
ence and patronage. No one will ever help
you as you can help yourself, because no
one will be so heartily interested in your
affairs. The first step will be long one
perhaps, but carving your own way up
the mountain you make each one lead to
another, and stand firm until you chop still
another out. Men who have made fortunes
are not those who have had 81, 900 given
them to start with, but boys who have
started fair with well earned dollar OF

HERE Is a problem for some mathe-
matician: A freight train one mile
long stopped with the caboose just op-
posite the depot. The conductor got
orders to move his train to the next
station which was five miles distant.
He gave the engineer orders to move,
which the latter did, while the conduc-
tor walked over head on top the cars
and got there just as the engine arrived
at the next station, where he got off.
The question 10 how far did he walk,
or rs he was walking the five miles
did he ride at all?

..Hold Yont Wheat" /"

| the Belief0ntalne EXAMINER, TealIIlue
the shortageof wheat, have held several
meetings to discuss the situation and
decry the causes of the unprecedented
low prices In the face of this shortage
As a result the following ''hold your
wheat" circular has been issued fiom
Pierre, North Dakota.
"Every country in Europe except
Russia this year, had short wheat
crop. Our own crop is at least loo, ,OOO,-
600 bushels under that of last year and
2OO, 900, 600 less than we raised In 1891.
The general financial stringency Of the
last six months has brought out large
supplies for all. The harvest this year
has been a poor one.
"This has kept the market price
down. The price is governed by the
law OF supply and demand. For over
a year we have had too literal sup
ply. The exports this fall have been
large, amounting to about 10000 s0OO
since the last harvest began.
ut is doubtful II on January l, 1894,
there will be enough wheat left Ia the
United States to meet our usual re-
quirements. AS result of the present
low price a smaller acreage of winter
wheat has been sown than for several
years past.
"After thorough investigation OF
the conditions existing we feel certain
that the year '94 will bring much high
er prices for wheat and do not hesitate
to urge Northwestern producers to hold
their wheat in hand for few months.
1--WE may just as well keep at least a
part of this extra profit for ourselves
as to give it to the elevators and mil
lers by selling now.
"The conditions are such that every
bushel of wheat now remaining in the
producers hands can be made to bring
81 before another harvest If all of it
would be held for that price.
Each day the world consumes over
six million bushels of wheat, and the
present large supplies at terminal
points would cease for time to aug
ment them"
The Northwest Miller makes the fol-
lowing remark on the circular:
"Since early in the summer wheat
has been the one available commodity
for cash in theNorthwest, The financial
stringency was so great that cash must
be had at any sacrifice, and it must be
had quickly. For this demand the
products of our wheat fields have been
cruelty slaughtered. No Russian tax
gatherer has been more ruthless and
insistent than the farmers creditors
this year.
"They themselves had to have mon
ey and from the farmers wheat was
the only chance for 1t. 1t came and
for mess Of pottage the farmer has
sold his all, but he had to have the
pottage for he was hungry and needed
it.
"Misled by the tremendous receipts
which would in other years argue an
inexhaustible surplus, the world has
blindly believed that there were un.
limited supplies to come, and the price
has gone on downward.
"Hold your wheat by all means II
you have any to hold. We sadly fear
that the advice to the farmer partakes
of the quality of that which advise
the locking of the stable door after the
horse has been stolen.n

A Remarkable Beard.

Three brothers bearing a resemblance

shaved at the same barber's shop. A few
days since one of the brothers entered the
shop early in the morning and was duly
shaved by German who had been at
work in the establishment for one or two
days. About 12 o'clock another brother
came in and underwent similar operation
at the hands Of another person.
In the evening the third brother made
his appearance, when the German dropped
his razor in astonishment and exclaimed:

Of callers on Mr.. Cleveland yesterday
showed no diminuation from the previous
DAYS within the past two weeks. Senators
and representatives formed the bulk of the
visitors but their ssions were mostly in
connection with 10, al Offices. But little
was said TO the resident concerning his
noted rules They have come to be so well
understood that few points in regard to
them remain to be cleared up. The nO-re-
appointment rule is, Of course, the princi-
pal one and in it the great interest is mani
tested. From what Mr.. Cleveland has
said 1t IS understood MOTTO apply in certain
cases, as follows;
To those who have no opposition for re-
appointment
To those candidates for postmasterships
who have opposition but are endorsed al
most unanimously by citizens Of their city
or town.
To those who were removed by the Har-
risou administration without serving out
their term.
To those who were nominated for office
bv Mr.. Cleveland just prior to General
| Harrison's Inauguration, but who failed oi
