There came CHEEKY sound up the
pathway-that Of a pleasant young voice
urging on a mule as 1t made a vigorous
effort to master the upgrade. When they
had got near the shelf Of rock. the mule
stopped and refused to go on. despite the
remonstrance Of its master. Pierre.
with encouraging words. dropped his
rein and went to the mules head to see
what might be the matter. for he had
never known the animal to refuse diff
fcult place before.
AS he stood on the narrow shelf there
was a sudden rush forward. the mule
shied. Pierre received a violent push,
which sent him off his balance. and man
and mule disappeared over the preciniSs

There wss soine trouble on her mind

husband lay sleeping beside her. and her

thought she would wake him. and even
mentioned his name in the hope that he
was sleeping but lightly and would east
iy awake. but he slept on soundly. al
though. as she took notice. his heart was
beating very hard for a sleeping man.
However. he was there. and her wifely
concern was satisfied. so with q sigh she
sank to sleep again.
The next two days passed unevent-
fully. Pierre Lamar did not return as
expected on the third day. but as he
might have been put to some trifiing de-

when a fourth. fifth and sixth day
passed without any tidings OF him they
grew seriously uneasy and began TO
make inquiries from all. Some one told
them of the quarrel with Robert Macaire

Pierre's mother, she simply sat down on

agony Of grief. Presently Mime. Lamar

to so long as she exposes her face to the

"Cheap Drugs" is the cry of the

 those who try to compete with him
 on his own dung hill. Do those
 druggists of Chicago, those of other
 cities too, who are fighting the devil
 with the fire, realize what this cry
 must mean to them and to their
 patrons Do they realize that a
 reputation established for cheap
 drugs means a lowering of the pro
 fessional standing sufficient to place
 them without the profession itself I
 Is it possible so sell patent medi-
 cines at or below cost, and at the same time maintain prices and qual-
 ity of drugs and prescriptions The customer obtaining a cheap patent medicine will demand cheap pre- scriptions, and his trade is held bv acceding to his demand the tempt ation is irresistible. The conse- quence is that soon the physician reflects that yours is store where his prescriptions are compounded of cheap, and cheap, means inferior drugs. His patients are instructed in their duty to themselves and to him, and the cheap store receives no more of this patronage. Did you ever know of cutter who had a desirable prescription trade [ Pure drugs and the best preparations of drugs are essential to the best treat nent of disease, and the pharma- ,ist's truest professional success must rest upon this foundation. Best drugs are not cheapest drugs, put command their price farther | han this, two preparations may be | made from the same quality of | and yet differ in value or | price.

 road company. to the position ol vice president of the Santa Fe Com pany and general manager of the entire system. will be hailed with delight by tho entire west and southwest. It Is no disparagement to any other man connected with the Santa F'e system, or with any other road, to say that Mir. Robinson is more thoroughly acquainted with the needs of the great southwest than any railroad man in the United States. He is d western man and has made q thorough study of the great section of country represented by the term, western. As a railroad man, he has no superiors and few equals, and in the management of the Santa Fe system, he can be relied upon as the friend of the great west and southwest, as the development of this section will add to the pros peritY and success of the great rail road enterprise over which he has been called to preside. While he may not be able to give that amount of personal attention to the con- structiop of the s.

Another Surprise Prom Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, March l1.-President Cleveland to-day threw another bomb into the crowd of office seek CTS, who are here from every state in the Union, or have mailed applica- tions. He announces that editors need not apply, for he don't propose to take chances of being charged with trying to subsidize the press as Harrison was, when he appointed Whitelaw Reid and others to high offices. He said today: "I don't like the idea, either, which editors of little papers all over the country have that they are entitled to the office of postmaster in their town"
 The President also said today to Congressman Springer that the report IS true, that his old office holders are barred, and when asked if the rule would apply to those who now seek different offices, replied : " Yes, if there is another applicant for the same place equally available and as strongly endor: ed, he will have preference over any ex-official."
