H0W's TRADE?

OUR trade is good, thank you. In
fact, We never sold more goods in our
lives. A common question, but an
uncommon answer, you say. So be
it, and there's a reason for it, too.
Would you you know the cause?
Then, Ills figures. The figures We
make. They are attractive figures.
The figures that competition cannot
make. To tell the truth, these same
figures are rapidly pushing competi-
ton to the wall. They can't fight 2
figure that they don't how to make.
Hence you often see idle clerks around
other doors while the Ten Gents Store
is crowded.
Customers ever go of unWaited on
Well, yes. There are times when We
can't wait on all. At such times We
have to do the best We can, and ask
our customers to kindly have patience
till we can get to them.
Do they wait on your Yes, I
should say they do. 1t is too costly
to go out. An old customer says it
is poor policy to pay FIVE cents extra,
and save only one cents worth of
time. Five cents on a twenty cent
article means twenty-five per cent.
a big profit of itself. See!
How about late-comers Do they
have as good chance as early buyers ?
Well, no. Not always. 1t frequent
ly happens that the slow get left.
"Procrastination" often gets the better
Of the best Of us. Especially is this
true about holiday goods. However,
we always do the very best we can to
the very last.
Why don't you get larger house
and have more help, and just push
everything out Of the way as you go !?
In that case we should be at such
expense that we would have to in
crease our prices to cover it. In
other words, charge the difference to
our customers. This we don't wish to
do.
We caution you, beware Of houses
with too much expense attached.
Would be glad to talk longer, but
must wait on this lady.
Yours always truly,

Only women Voted.

SAN BERN Cal. Nov. g.
The first election ever held in this
county at which women only cast a
ballot for candidates for county and
state officers has been held in South
ern California, and French, the Pro-
hibition candidate for Governor, is
probably elected. The movement
originated in San Bernardino two
months ago.
''For God and Home and Native
Land" was the motto everywhere in
sight about the polling booths.
About 10000 votes were polled, al
most all the ballots being scratched,
although the Prob;bitionists and
Populists received many more votes
than the old line parties.
To prepare their ballots in two
cases, it required forty minutes. The
best time made by any female voter
was twelve and a half minutes.
Several disturbances occurred at the
polls because some ladies demanded
the right TO delve in the ballot boxes
and fish out ticket which had been
voted to make desired corrections.
When the judges demurred to this
there were some exciting scenes and
an interchange of harsh words. The
count of the ballots is not yet com :
plete. The women will work to-
morrow for tickets successful in their
own election.

Attorney William Reardon, In
criminal court ut Pittsburg on Tues
dav raised u point Of law which
amounts 10 q legal sensation. lie
was defending Thomas McQuirk,
charged with perjury for falsely
swearing to the age Of the womon he
married, and Mr. Reardon moved to
ouash the indictment on the ground
that there was no such offence under
the law, as the marriage license was
not in force and no license was re-
ouired to be taken out by parties
who desired to be married.
This caused Judge Ntagee to re-
mark: "Why, Mr.. Reardon, you
surely don't make such statement
in earnest?"
81 do, your honor, and l can
prove it. The marriage license act
was passed in 1885, and was amend
ed in 1898. BY that amendment,
on and after October l, 1895, parties
desiring to be married in this State
must take out license"
The acts of 1885 and 1898 were
sent for aud read to the court.
Judge Magee said that if the act was
correctly printed Mr.. Reardon was
right and the present marriage
license law would not be in force un'
til 1895. By agreement of counsel
a certified copy Of the act was sent
for and the trial proceeded.
The point is new one and if sus
tained will make Pennsylvania a
regular Gretna Green, as any one
can then be married in this State
without license.
A telegram from Harrisburg states
that owing to an error in the tran
scribing of the supplement OF 1898
to the marriage license act of 1885
the supplement does not go into
effect until October lst, 1895. Ii
was clearly the intention of the
author of the bill that it should take
effect October lst, 1898, but the tran
scribing clerk made the mistake ol
writing "five" for "three," and the
result is the delay Of two years in
the operation of the supplement
The error was discovered shortly
after the Legislature adjourned. but
it was then too late to rectify the
mistake. The original bill on file at
the State Department fixes October
|, 1895, as the date upon which the
supplement S hall go into effect.
