Mr.. Chandler admitted that II was,

document while the customer counted
out $3.50 in greenhaeks. The entire
deal was transacted in about Ave min

his ticket, leaned his elbow on the
counter and became more commuui-

WAITING ON THE EAST.

If there is any improvement in bus iness anywhere in the country that is really worth mentioning it is in the west The only indications of any thing like the increase of activity that is due to this season of the year are in this part of the country.
 One of the leading commercial re- ports has it that it is the want of suf ficient demand for the products of the great industries that retards actual improvement generally. There can be no doubt of that. The productions of the west have to do with the actual necessities of the people, who must eat to live Those of the east depend upon the power of the people to buy some thing more than the means of bare subsistence. The west has that to sell which the people must have; the east provides that which they will have if they can get it. While very great part of those things which the east is prepared to produce are imported from abroad, the already restricted market for the home supply will continue 3 be distressingly curtailed Home in dustries will lag. The money that should be paid to the American wage earner will be sent abroad, swelling the outflow of gold and adding to the strain of doubt among those who have money to invest.
 Whenever conditions are restored that shall reverse those now with us, the long delayed improvement in bus iness in the east will make its appear ance, the consumer of western pro ducts will be able to buy something more than the absolute necessities for existence, and the west will feel the stimulus Of the change almost in a tWi1kling. 2
 The wes: has never felt the cramp of business depression as keenly as the east, notwithstanding it's indus tries are largely carried on with bor- roNed capital, and it is in a better con dition today ito weather through the few remaining months of Democratic stringency than any other section of the country.

As he sat watching the prep arations his eye suddenly fell on four or five cats devouring some cold DOT ridge under the table. Dear me, Miss Black" he observed, what a number of cats!
