But If the didactic novel offends against the
avs Of art, the pseuddorealistic novel offends
against the laws Of decency. One is amazed
sometimes at the frequency with which, in an
age that shudders at the outspokenness OF
Shakespeare and shrnks from the plaihdealing
of Fielding, stories only to be described as
ineffably nasty are admitted to the chastest
drawing-room tables. Sometimes these stories
are written by young girls, who prattle with
naive audaclty of things they out not to know;
sometimes they are written by grown women,
who believe in emancpating teeir sex by depriv.
ing it Of modesty; sometimes they are written
by men, who have the hysterical tendencies OF
women or who are base enough to traffic In cor
ruption. BY whomever written, they sell; and
while they sell they are bound to multiply. |

One-Seventh Of
One Per Cent,

Is the amount of our loss on bad accounts for
the past year. Oneseventh of one per cent on the
amount of goods have sold will more than cover orr
entire losses from trusting the people of Audubon
county. The cash stores claim that stores who do
credit business lose from Is per cent on bad ac
counts Our experience shows that they are either TO-
noran fl were not tor other reasons we
would admit that cash store might sell you goods for
onesevenh of one per cheaper than we could or
in other words they would you quite &C on
$4,000 But for these other reasons they cannot save
you this small amount because they cannot
sell enough goods for cash pay their expenses and
make profit, therefore they must charge greater per
cent profit what they SELL to make the same profit
other stores do who sell half much more than thew do
It's just this way:1o per profit on $4,000 is ten
dollars and per cent profit $4,000 ten dollars
See the point?
When merchant tells you that you can save mon
ey by borrowing it at per cent interest and
trading with him, because he sells for cash. either takes
you for fool is one himself That's plain language
but it expresses the idea.

A woman's noblest work is helping baby
into life and health. She is committing a
crime when she helps sickly baby into the
world. 1t is a crime because it is wholly
within her power to make the baby strong
and healthy. She can do it by the proper
preparation-by taking proper care of her
self during the period of CESSATION. Many
babies die early, or at birth, or are sickly all
their lives because of their mothers ignor-
ance OF neglect. Neither is excusable.
Every woman may be strong and we'll,
and so insure the health of her baby. If
she will take Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescrip-
tion during the period of CESSATION, she will
find that she will have none of the discom-
forts incident to this condition, and that
parturition will be free from danger, and
comparatively free from suffering. This
medicine is the greatest remedy in the
world for all the forms of weakness or dis
ease peculiar to women. 1t is the only
medicine of its kind prepared by regu.
1arly graduated, experienced and skilled
specialist in the treatment of diseases of
women. 1t is the only medicine in the
world that will make the coming of baby
safe and easy. You can get it at the drug
stores. If you want to know all about it,
address DR.. r. v. Pierce, chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gfcal Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.
All those who suffer from biliorsness,
headaches, heart burn, hatulence, palpita-
ton of the heart, and generally sluggish
action of the digestive organs should take

slip into many little digressions, the

locked into room and set to doing a

GRIFFITH AS RICHARD III.

One of the strongest bookings of the
season is announced for New Years
Day at the opera house. Matinee and
evening January l.
This more than ordinary attraction is
none other than Americas most promis-
ing legitimate actor, Mr.. John Griffith,
in Shakespeare Richard IL All are
more or less familiar with Mr.. Griffith S
wonderful conception of Mephistopheles
in Goethe's Faust" Even though he
might now withdraw from the list of
those who entertain and instruct us, it
still becomes a portion of theatrical his
tory.
So has he stamped by his genius an
impression equal, If not superior, to his
Mephisto, a characterization in Richard
Ill, which has only recently been added
to his repertoire We know of no one
today who aspires to something above
mediocrity more fittingly equipped for
the part than Mr. Griffith. To think
that this crooked back genius was the
favorite role of such actors as Garrick,
Kean, Cooke and the Booths, was enough
to make younger aSpirants stop on the
threshold of such a venture But all
has a beginning--so with this young
man. Richard must be played, and why
not by him? Nothing is more adapta-
BILE to the stage, less to the closet
Mr.. Griffith promises to produce the
play scientifically in a manner not equal
led in this generation of playgoers In
his support are Anna Boyle Moore late
leading lady of the famous Union Square
Theater Stock company, in New York
City, and later with Thomas w. Keene
years leading man with Mr.. Keene which
would suggest that the company is a.
superior one. On the Saturday matinee
Mr.. Griffith will present, by request, a.
spectacular version of Faust" which
he has been playing for the past four
seasons

THE ADVENT.

AS shepherds watch near Bethlehem
In fields of ancient story,
Where Ruth once CLEANED the barley grains
Where Davids harp had yielded strains
Unmatched for minstrel glory.
Unearthly light encircles them,
And stuns their earth-used senses;
A presence bright allays their fears
with words that date the turn of years;
Nor speaks in past, nor future lenses
'Rehold I bring to Gentiles, Jews,
The tidings glad, in David's city
is born this day the Child of grace,
Whose words of power shall thrill his race
Whose sprinkled blood and tears of pity,
Shall freshen earth like Mermon's dews."
Lo! suddenly the single herald
is joined by hosts in light appareled;
Bursts forth the Joyous natal song:
"Glory to God the highest One
Peace good will to man belong"
The rapturous hymn in heaven begun
SWells the Judean hills among.

A CHRISTMAS ODE.
BEFORE CHRIST.

Time droopeth in it's fight of ages,
O'erburdened with the direful pages
or human guilt;
Fam would ii tilt
The sinful record of the sea,
And vanish like transient cloud -
Lost in the immensely
And fly the ban of God;
Fain would it end the Jlliad,
Mans futile search for balm of Gilead,
And furl its wings
Like pail OF night
Der its fast failing springs
or hope and faith and might.
Vast nations dead that persisted far
From any fadeless prize s.
No fixed, guiding star
Ilumining their skies;
And whitening bloom
Presages all a beautiful doom;
Egypt entombed meath the massive art,
O'ergrown with cankerous mold;
The Hebrew state the Covenant fold,
World eaten at the heart;
And Hellos bright, how brief her round.
Endowed with senses rare.
She lowered in forms surprising fair,
But truth divine alasi necr found
Imperial Rome, beside the Tiber,
The mistress of an hundred states,
Destruction turks within her gates,
And preys upon her inmost fiber.

Where pagan shadows rest.

His sway the charms
