marked Willard Salisbury Jr., chair

cutiye Committee, to an Evening Jour

A man could go into the booth. stamp

vote for John Biggs on the Honest
Money Democratic ticket, and scratch
of one of the delegates on the straight
Democratic ticket, vote again for Mr..
Biggs on the Prohibition ticket and
scratch another name on the Demo-
cratic ticket. In this way he could
vote three times for Mr.. Biggs. Under
the wording of the law II would prob
ably be proper vote. / don't under

II Sometimes Happens

1t is frequently said, and in many
cases truly said, that prophet is not
without honor save in his own coun.
try. This is not only true of pro-
phets, but also OF many other classes
of people, among them being manu.
facturers. How many manufacturers
there are whose trade right in their
own city does not.begin to compare
with their sales out of town, many
people considering it..a virtue in the
goods that they are brought from q
distance. Once in q while, however,
a firm gets credit for its own bAili-
wick for getting up good thing. A
certain baking company In this city
not long ago had the happy idea
strike them to get ont q cracker
covered with cheese Everyone has
eaten crackers and cheese, but very
few people have ever heard of com.
biDation Of the two into one article.
The next point was to get the cheese
to stick to the cracker. After many
trials and tribulations this was final
ly accomplished. and very success
fully 80.
This firm had no idea that the
public were looking for this identical
article, 30 they modestly put a few
on sale in their retail store and
thought very little of it. In about q
week they suddenly realized that
they had made one of these lucky
hits that people sometimes make.
Orders began to pour in from every
grocery store in the city-the demand
far exceeding the supply and soon o
corps Of twenty-five deity fingered
maidens were spreading cheese on
dainty biscuits. 1t seemed as If he
country had gone crazy on the sub.
jest. Everybody wanted cheese
waters From almost every city in
the union unsolicited orders were re-
ceived, and all without spending
$500 in advertising. From the first
of last October to this present minute
this has been going on until now the
cheese waters made by the Marvin
Bakery for this is the firm are
known throughout the land. For ell
sorts OF society events, for evening
lunches, with Gfter-dinner coffee, in
fact on OIL sorts of occasions, these
waters are used. "Pittshurg Com
