Advertise Your bargains.

Money is tight" is an expression used
commonly by our business men at pres
ent. 1t is true; nevertheless some goods
must be bought, and as there is still a
little money in circulation, the up-to-
date merchant knows how to get his
share OF what is going. He advertises
his bargains, and in times like these
people watch for bargains; consequently
the man who has them and announces
So in the local papers gets the bulk of
the trade in his line Of business.

other race. There is more genuine wit
and repartee in the banter of half q
dozen Irish street cleaners than in
dozen bound volumes of London Punch.
BY the way, did stumble across n real
joke in that venerable collection o.
kiln-dried puns and aged chestnuts
How it escaped the editors blue pencil
remains an unsolved mystery. The
picture represented couple of typi
cal Irishmen armed with blunderbusses,
They are standing behind stone wall,
and are patiently waiting for the land
lord to pass. One of them, with trace
of sadness in his face, says:
''Sure, Denis, the landlords late this
morning."
''Oi hope nothing has happened to
him." replies the other, squirting along
the barrel of his gun.
But to resume-in New York even
the superficial observer can perceive
the great capabilities of the Irish in
every field of industry. AS business
men, bankers, politicians, actors, po-
cts, writer's, they more than hold their
own. While they lack the thorough
ness of the German in mastering the
details of profession or business,
they more than make up for it by
their superabundant energy and
aggressiveness. Not even the typical
Yankee surpasses them in this re-
spect On the other hand, their gen.
erosity amounts to actual .mprovi.
dence, as far as the humber class is
concerned, in which respect they are
the opposite of the thrifty Germans,
who have more money in the savings
banks than all the other nationalities
put together.
The natural-born love of the Irish
for political life and their facility for
organization have, until recently,
given them absolute control of the mu-
nicipal government of this city, and
believe similar state of things pre-
walls in every city where they have
any great numerical strength. The re-
ported remark of the Chinese min
lister in a conversation in regard to
the hostility of the Irish against the
Chinese was very much to the point
His suggestion was to the effect that
the Chinese should settle in Ireland, as
that was the only country where the
Irish did not have anything to say
One secret of the success of the Irish in
political life is that they honor and

Newspapers have some queer requests
made upon them for space to boom

the palm must be awarded to the Phila-

bition of unadulterated gall ever seen
in this Office. Once a week regularly.
since the first of the year, the TRIBUNE

a request that the same be inserted rs IA

confer favor"
The notices are pure advertising. and
vary from 81 to S. in value, according
TO their length, yet this great daily

space in these columns the cash must
be planked down. Free pufTs are out

PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES

Every Thursday for the next three
months the TRIBUNE will publish two
portraits-one of prominent Democrat,
the other of a prominent Republican,
under the head of presidential Posi-
bilities." Every reader recognizes the
uncertainty of politics, and in the two
great parties of the United States there
is today more uncertainty than has ever
preceded two presidential nominations.
Our list comprises all the leaders on
both sides, and the portraits of those

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

Philadelphia in area is one of the
largest cities in the world, having
120 1-3 square miles.
The butcher has 97S patents which
may be employed or not, as he chooses,
IN his business. Most of them are de
vices used in the large pork packing
establishments.
The common house fly is said to b.,
provided with 900 eyes; that is to say,
his two compound eyes have each 5000
facets. By this singular arrangement
he is enabled to see in every direction
and to elude with great skill and sue
cess the many dangers that threaten
his daily existence.
Peter Dorsey, negro. who said he
was 140 years old, died at Tallahassee Il
few days ago. He looked as if he might
he as old as he said, but most likely ne
was not. He was undoubtedly a very
old man, however, and his neighbors
figured that he was, at any rate, far
past the century mark.
-Maine's labor commissioner has
been gathering statistics on the cost o.
living in that state. He figures that the
average daily cost of living is 81 cents
day for each individual in the average
family. The cost of living to single
men, boarding, is 46 cents. These fig
ures cover rent, fuel and light.
Curly hair indicates exuberent vi
tality, the curl being caused by the hent
or electricity which pervades the sys
TEN. Straight hair mostly denotes
more evenness of character. Coarse
hair mostly accompanies large muscle,
and would thus suggest physical
strength, while fine hair denotes re
fnement, sensitiveness and effeminatc
tastes and feelings. Very sensitive peo
pie have excessively fine hair, and their
eyelashes always correspond.
Perhaps the oldest pet a man ever
had is a shark, seven feet long and
weighing probably $50 pounds, which
is owned, in sense, by G. w. Fife, OF
Tacoma, Wash. The shark was har
pooned in the bay off Tacoma by Mr.
Fife and lowed to his boat house. Tt
was not badly injured, SO Mr.. Fife
passed chain cable round it's tail and.
lied it up to the pier. 1t was still alive
up to last accounts, was feeding hearth
ly, and was apparently becoming a.
customed, if not reconciled, to cap
tivity.
Some idea of the extent of the
coyote nuisance in the west may be got
from the experience of one sheepman
cf Fossil, Ore. Since last fall, when
The sheep were brought down from the
mountains, the coyotes have killed
,bout 100 of them. One night recently
a herder left about 80 sheep out over
night, and when he went to hunt for
them in the morning he found 23 dead,
their throats torn by the coyotes, and
coyotes were chasing the remaining
seven. In Crook county this sheepman
has lost $500 in three months by the
coyote raijG on bis focl;s.

The New York World is quite cum
ming political weathercock. Itwas quite
friendly to Tammany when Tammany
was in unbroken possession of power in
New York. 1t became the most desper-
ate foe of Tammany when the wind
seemed to indicate the overthrow of that
organization. Now when Tammany
seems sure to come back to power in
New York city the World becomes quite
friendly to the Tiger once more. 1t

when he was riding at the crest Of u
of wave of popularity, but as soon as
it became manifest that Cleveland
was becoming unpopular, the World
from being his most subservient fol-
lower becomes his loudcst-mouthed
enemy.
When Reed, Mckinley and high
tariff were threatened with Il revulson
of popular feeling the World couldn't
accuse Reed, Mckinley and protection
of crimes enough. But now that Reed,
Mckinley and protection seem to be
on the tlue OF popularity once more the
World has nothing but soft words for
them. When ex-senator Platt seemed
in danger of losing leadership in New
York the World was ready to charge
him with almost any kind of ofTenses.
But when Platt gains undisputed lead
ership and solid political power then
the World begins to cringe and resort to
mild and gentle phrases.
In fact the sudden retreats of the
World raminds one of guerilla, not tc
say to bandit warfare. The lTorld

"Do you really believe, as sensible
and reasonable man, that st. Patrick
actually drove the snakes out of Ire
land?" asked the incredulous one.
"Indade, do, sor," was the emphatic
reply.
Now, just look at it for a moment,
and you can't help seeing the utter ab-
surdity of such thing. If st. Patrick
drove out all those sualies, where did
he drive them to?"
''Bedad, it's mesilf that's thinkin' he
drove them into the whusky."
AS for Patrick himself, there is no
other historical parsonage whose men,
ory is SO profusely honored excepting,
of course, the founder of the Christian
religion. And what is still more sim
gular is the fact that almost nothing
is really known of his life and antece-
dents. AS priest once candidly ad-
mitted: ''Very little is really known
about Ireland's patron saint, and that
little is very uncertain"

other countries at different dates from

Cured in any and all of the years be-
tween 461 and 4sS. There is, however,
no doubt, after the clusters of luxuriant
fiction are removed, that he was an ear
nest, plain preacher of the Gospel, with
considerable administrative ability in
the establishment of congregations and
churches, and much homely eloquence,
with which he brought the doctrines OF
primitive Christianity within the very
limited range of his hearers compre.
hension.
No other race has so many lights and

courage, amounting even to reckless.

HERE in America, as in every other

and the recovery of drowned person,
n corpse being, therefore, of greater
