Inc answer 70 the ABOVE query " tho
average business man ID OF the deprecatory
order. He will tell you that business is

Business has been dull. There Is no doubt
about that. But II 10 going to be good

In the rut of business, the better 1t Will

croakers, however, business Is going TO
be better this fail than for long time.
The recent strike was the thunder storm
to clear the atmosphere, and good results

The next time you are asked how busi-

know you are still In the game SO tospeak.
Don't say you don't advertise and never
acknowledge that you cannot afford to let
people know you have got something TO
sell. Better shut up shop altogether.

OF Providence feel within themselves
that some Of the old time prosperity is
bound to return. People have got tired
of making this and that do, and OF deny
ing themselves the one thing ana the

for supply, and the supply will be forth
coming. Clothes wear out, shoes wear
out, furniture wears out, men and women
wear out, medicine and science step In,
and the human repair shops to invigorate
the system, to recuperste the tired and
Gated here and there along the highways
and byways Of life.
While my thoughts drift this way 1t
may not be out OF place to mention in this
connection q visit / made to DIR. j. ID.
Kelly, who is located In pleasant Office
suite ct 301 and 302 Buffers Exchange.
You will see his advertisement in the
papers with an alleged portrait OF him
self. say alleged because the
aforesaid portrait Is libel on the
gentleman and does him positive
injustice. After few minutes interview
with the doctor was convinced that he
was not to be In any sense classed In the
category of medical practitioners who
come into city like Providence, put q
flaming advertisement in the papers, gain
the confidence Of q few misguided but
unfortunate individuals, obtain their
money money and an give tn them K.,,T,s no
appearance and evident knowledge
are greatly In his favor. He Is specialist
and has devoted himself to the treatment
of special line OF nervous and skin dis
eases. He u q graduate OF two univer-
stiles and o member OF the American
Academy of Medicine, the most exclusive
1t takes B. A. and A. M. A. to be con-
sidered a. eligible to membership to this
association. He has other diplomas, but
aside from that and better than all he
Is q successful practitioner and comes to
Providence to establish an Office and to
remain. He has for the past two
years practiced most successfully in New
charge OF assistants. The doctor has
numerous testimonials and is fully
equipped to successfully treat those
patients who put their cases In his hands.
II was the doctors intention originally to
estab ablish an Office in this city before going
from New York to New Haven but not
until now did circumstances permit of his
carrying out his idea. Personally he is q
pleasant gentleman to meet and profess
sionally he ranks among the foremost in
his particular line.

the business outlook IL decidedly better.
Don't you think SO yourself? Doesn't
everything point to itf You needn't read
the financial and trade papers to obtain
the desired information but just use a
little horse sense and consider cause and
effect, the great possibilities and the
wealth of this country. l tell you my
reader, friend or enemy, you can't down
Uncle Sam. Robbery, bad politics, thiev-
ing politicians, cranky legislation, tinker
ing on high tariff or low tariff, Utopian
ideas of how to adjust the difference be-
tween capital and labor, the advocating Of
having the Government take control OF
the telephones and the telegraph, the
railroads and everything else, when you
get all through considering the great
Kaleidoscope tumble IL does not alter the
fact that IL there 10 demand there must
be a supply, and demand and supply
make business every time. II you don't
supply, your netghbor Will, so there Will
be Business any way you figure 1t out. All
do, and are doing, big and little, is to
keep O stin upper lip. Never say die.
Come right up to the scratch and win,
but never weaken.
You have heard the old story about Dan
Bryant the minstrel. heard old Sam
Sharpley tell it--It seems Dan and his
company struck into q small town and
on account of q com bination Of circum-
stances over which they had no control,
they had left Q number OF their instru-
ments belonging to the band in another
town some miles distant to make the
landlord look pleasant.
Dan was getting shaved In the village
bar Der shop when he was approached by
the town fool and philosopher, who was
always prognosticating good or evil free
of charge. = He was black as q crow and
had an impediment IN his walk.
"Is dis Mistah BryantY" he asked as he
approached the great minstrel who was
lying back In the chair.
"Yes sir, - replied good -natured Dan.
"wall, sahi Has you got band wild
"well, no, not exactly" answered Bry-
