A Plucky Firm

Uncle Sans Clothing Co., corner OF
Middle and Union street, are fast becom-
ing the recognized leaders in fine and me-
dium priced clothing Nothing seems to
daunt them. No quantity seems to be
too large for this enterpr ising concern
to handle when the price is low enough
to enable them to give their customers
a genuine dollar for so cents. Their rec
ent immense purchase of the entire
wholesale stock of Thompson, Willis &
Newgent of Boston, one of the largest
manufacturers of fine clothing in New
England. is a striking illustration of the
remarkable business courage possessed
by this firm. Gigantic as was the pur-
chase, amounting to upwards of $3.50, :
600, they say they are ready at any time
to duplicate the transaction on the same
terms, claiming that any stock of the
high standard represented in the pur-
chase from the above firm bought at a
price scarcely averaging so per cent of
raw cost, can be handled successfully, ir-
respective of size.
They are firm believers in the good
Judgment of New England people andj
have capital and energy to back up their
beliefs The volume of business being
done by them is abundant evidence of
he wisdom of their business policy. t

necticut people have had the operation
perfumed. 1t will also probably be tried
on the wooden nutmeg trees should the
bugs attack them.
So far the pest has devoted itself to the
elm trees entirely.
The bugs seen yesterday on the elms in
this vicinity are still very small but
have begun their work. They were found
on small trees where the leaves could be
reached easily. Some of the taller trees
seemed to be infested; but it was not
possible to tell surely.
The worms that stripped the elm trees
in this city few years ago were variety
of caterpillar. To keep them off the trees
the tin guards so long to be seen on some
trees on State street, were devised and
used.

Potatoe. a. Penholaers.

ut is surprising" says a commercial
traveller, chow general the use Of pota-
toes as pen-holders is becoming in
hotels. 1 have seen them in use in
great obstetrics of the East, whose
wouldn't hesitate for a moment
of spend $40 for a desk ornament to
hold pens used by the guests in regis
tering. The mixture of starch, glucose
and water in the potato seems well
adapted to take up the impurities Of
ink and to keep the pen point quite
clear and bright, while the alkaloid of
the potato, known as solanine, doubt
less has something to do with it in the
same line. These elements readily
take up the tannate of iron, which is
the body substance Of ink. Chemically
speaking, starch is the first base of q
potato, and sugar or glucose is it's
base. Thus is the humble po-
tato finding another way in which to
serve the e of mankind. There is
a rather pleasing suggestiveness in a
big ten-inch potato when a fellow
comes in tired and hungry from a long
r1ln."-New York Tribune.

The hands. legs and lower part Of the
body were badly burned. deep gashes
were found in the head and about the
waist were the remnants of a charred

man had been burr cd to death was at
first laughed at by the police officers,
but later Investigations seemed to
prove that he had either been muir
dcrcd and an attempt made to conceal
the crime, or that he had really been
burned at the stake. That the mar
could have beer burned to death was
hardly thought probable by the police.
but the spot where the body was found
is an isolated one on the prairie and a

dead for some time. SIS thc feet had
