the Beginning of Cash
Prices on Groceries.
II is PROVINCE Decided Success
to our Patrons as we'll as
to Ourselves

The runa1ays consists in lost Gus.
toners from the fact that they are
not paying lost accounts and not
troubled with misstatements at the
end of each month. When you
trade with the cash concern your
account is ended and prices guarau-
teed the lowest in market. It's sim
pie to understand why cash demands
the lowest possible price. # you
have dollar you want changed
anyone will give you one hundred
cents for it Crowded he hasn't been
buying groceries and having them
charged). If so he will say /
havn't the money, but II you will
give me the dollar will give you
the change in thirty days. Your
reason will teach you that dollar is
worth more to you at that time,
than thirty, sixty or ninety days
and maybe never if his family takes
sick and funeral expense to pay.
Now, neighbor, haven't you had
yoar customers tc say they couldn't
pay because they had to pay q
doctors bill and later on they had
to pay other bills more pressing
thar yours, and later on you had to
charge that identical account to loss
in your statement of the years bus
mess. Well, if it be true who
loses it? You can't say you never
lose any accounts. You simply
have to charge more Tor your goods
to make dividend at the end of
the years business.
Now, customer, listen to the tale
of woe. The only merchan: that's
prospering today is the one that
pays cash for his goods. Cash dis.
counts pays all expenses Of doing
business.
Why not each customer pay cash
and make the same saving. Cash
demands the lowest possible price.
Try your grocer whom you nave
been paying credit prices and see if
he wont take you by the arm or
wink at you and say come here to
one eide. | will give you better
prices provided you don't say any
thing to your neighbor who is pay
ing more for the same article be-
cause he is having it charged. You
know can't charge it and sell as
cheap for cash, Call We" who OBJ
se.ve the winking of the other eye,)
and the difference in what you pay
these split priced and two priced,
credit priced and cash priced, and
to one side priced concerns, will
hereafter pay cash as you 60 or go
slow as you are sure to run off the
track as long as you pay credit
piiccs for what you eat. What you
eat is never thought OF unless you
are dyspeptic or the bill is present
ed you, and if you are not dyspeptic
it will give you dyspepsia if credit
prices are charged.

An Elephant That Used to Play Clever
Trick on Visitors.

An Elephant That Used to Play Clever
Trick On Visitors.
The elephant at the Jardln des
Plantes, at Paris, used to play his Wis
itors a trick, which could not have
been thought of but by an animal OF
much intelligence. His house opened
upon an inclosure called the Elephant S
park, containing a pond, in which ne
would lay himself under the water,
concealing every part of him except the
very end of his trunk-a mere speck
that would hardly be noticed by a
stranger to the animals habits.
A crowd would assemble around the
inclosure, and, not seeing him IN 1t,
would watch in expectation that ne
would soon issue from the house. But,
while they were gazing about. CO.
pious sprinjlling of water would fall
upon them, and ladies and gentlemen,
with their fine bonnets and coats,
would run for shelter under the trees,
looking up at the clear sky and wonder
ing whence such shower could come.
Immediately afterward, however,
they would see the elephant rising
from his bath, evincing, as it seemed,
an awkward joy at the trick that he
had played. In the course of time his
amusement became generally known,
and the moment the water began to
rise from his trunk the spectators
would take flight, at which he appeared
exceedingly delighted, getting up as
fast as he could to see the hustle he
had caused.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

ness, token, verbal or looked, that he
remembered whose child she was, and
that the same mother love had guard
ed their infancy. Her sister-in-laW
would have been welcome to withhold
many of her gifts of wearing apparel
and jewelry had she bethought herself
now and then how gratefully kisses
fall upon young lips, and that youthful
heads are often sadly weary for the
lack of a friendly shoulder, or a loving
bosom, on which to rest. She did not
accuse her relatives Of willful ulkind-
ness because these were withheld. They
interchanged no such unremunerative
Husband and wife were courteous in
their demeanor, the one to the other;
their children were demure models Of
filial duty at home and industry at
school; the training in both places be-
ing severe enough to Guerch what fee
BILE glimmer of individuality may have
been born with the offspring of the
methodical and practical parents. Con-
stance found them extremely uninter-
esting, Notwithstanding the natural
love for children which led her to court
their companionship during the earlier
weeks of her domestication in their
house. 1t was next to a miracle that
she did not stiffen in this atmosphere
into buckram image of feminine pro-
Priety-a prodigy of starch and virtue,
such as would have brought calm de-
light to the well-regulated mind of her
exemplar, and effectually chased all
thoughts of matrimony from those of
/ masculine beholders. Had her discon-
tent with her allotted sphere been less
active, the result would have been Ger
tain and deplorable. She was, instead,
popular among her acquaintances of
both sexes, and had many friends, if
few lovers. This latter deficiency had
given her no concern until within two
years At twenty-five she opened her
eyes in wide amaze upon the thinning
ranks of her virgin associates, and be-
gan seriously to ponder the causes that
had left her unsought, save by two very
silly and utterly ineligible swains, whose
overtures were, in her esteem, pre-
sumption that was only too ridiculous

erations as minister Of the interior
the ruler of the establishment he, by &
much-abused figure of speech, called
his home. A snug and elegant abode
she made of it, and, beholding Con-
stance well dressed and well fed, habit
ually cheerful and never rebellious, he
may be forgiven for not spending a
thought upon her for hours together
and when he did remember her, for
dwelling the rather upon his disin-
| terested kindness to helpless depend
ent than speculating upon her possible
and unappeased spiritual appetites.
For these, and for other WITNESSES,
Mrs. Romaine had little thought and no
charity. Life, with her, was a fabric
made up of duties, various and many,
but all double-twisted into hempen
strength and woven too closely for a
shine of fancy or romance to strike
through.
She had coincided readily in her hus-
bands plan to take charge of his young
sister when her parents died. Her
brothers house is the fittest asylum for
her." she had said. 81 shall do my
best to render her comfortable and con-
tented"
She kept her word. Constance's ward
robe was ample and handsome, her
room elegantly furnished, and she en-
tered society under the chaperonage of
her sister-in-law. The servants were
trained to respect her; the children to
regard her as their elder sister. What
more could penniless orphan require?
Mrs. Romaine was not afraid to ask
the question of her conscience and Of
heaven. Her "best" was no empty pro-
fession. 1t was lucky for her self-com-
placency that she never suspected what
years of barrenness and longing these
eight were to her protege
Constance was not a genius-there-
fore she never breathed even to her
self: 81 feel like a seed in the cold
earth, quickening at heart, and longing
for the air." Her temperament was
not melancholic, nor did her taste run
after poetry and martyrdOm. She was
simply young, pretty and moderately
well-educated woman, too sensible not
to perceive that her temporal needs
were conscientiously supplied, and too
affectionate to be satisfied with the
meager allowance of nourishment
dealt out for her heart and sympathies.
While the memory of her fathers proud
affection and her mothers caresses
was fresh upon her she had long and
frequent spells of lonely Weeping-was
wont to resign herself in the seclusion
of her chamber to passionate lamenta-
tions over her orphanage and isola-
tion of spirit. Routine was Mrs. Ro-
maine's watchword, and in bodily eX-
ercise Constance conformed to her
quiet despotism-visited, studied,
worked and took recreation by rule.
The system wrought upon her benefi
cially so far as her physique was con-
cerned. She grew from a slender, pale
girl into ripe and healthy womanhood;
was more comely at twenty-seven than
at tWenty-One

to be insulting. Her quick wit and
knowledge of the world helped her to
a solution of the problem. Il am poor
and dependent upon my brothers char
ity," she concluded, with a new and
sitting uprising of dissatisfaction with
her condition. Men rarely fall in love
with such-more rarely WOO them"
She never spoke the thought aloud, but
1t grew and strengthened until it re-
ceived a startling blow from Mr.. With
ers' proposal of marriage.
He was wealthy banker from d
neighboring city, whom business rela-
tions with Mr.. Romaine drew to his
house and into his sisters company.
His courtship was all Mrs. Romaine
could desire. His visits were not too
frequent, and were paid at stated inter-
walls, as befitted his habits Of order and
punctuality. His manner to the lady
honored by his preference was replete
with stately respect that was the an
tipodes of serviie devotion, while his
partiality for her society, and admira-
tion for her person, were unmistakable.
He paid his addresses through Mr.. Ro-
maine as his fair ones guardian, offer
ing voluntarily to give his beloved
whatever time for deliberation upon the
proposal she desired.
you had better think it over for a
week." advised her brother, when he
had laid the case duly before Con-
stance. "It is too serious a matter to
be settled out of hand"
After that, neither he nor his wife
obtruded their counsel upon her until
the afternoon of the seventh day. Then
Mrs. Romaine, going to her sisters
chamber to communicate the substance
of telegram just received by her hus-
would call that evening at 8 o'clock,
was moved to grave remonstrance by
the discovery that she whom he came
to WOO had no answer prepared Tor
him. Constance was no nearer ready
after the conversation before recorded.
q cannot afford to be romantic
she had reminded herself several
times. "And who knows but this ira
tional repugnance may pass away when
/ have once made up my mind to ac-
cept him? This may be-in all likeli-
hood it is-my last chance of achiev-
ing an Independent position. 1t has
been long time coming, and my
charms will be on the wane soon. True,
q Inorrjooe with Elnathan yVjfherS is
not the destiny of which l have dream
ed, but then dreams are but foolish va
garies after all Life is real and ear

USES OF ICE WATER.
In Health IT Should Not BE Used for
Drinking Purposes.

In Health Tt Should Not BE Used for
Drinking Purposes.
In health no one ought to drink ice
water, for it has occasioned fatal in
flammation of the stomach and bow
els. and sometimes sudden death. The
ternptation to drink it is very great in
the summer To use it at all with
safety the person should take but a
single swallow at the time, take the
glass from the lips for half minute,
and then another swallow, and SO on.
It will be found that in this way it be-
comes disagreeable after few mouth
fuls. On the other hand, ice itself may
be taken as freely as possible, not only
without injury, but with the most strik-
ing advantage in dangerous forms OF
disease If broken in sizes OF a pea or
bean and swallowed as freely as prac-
ticable, without much chewing Or
crunching between the teeth, it will
often be efficient in checking various
kinds of diarrhea, and has cured VIC
lent cases of Asiatic cholera. A kind
OF cushion of powdered ice kept 70 the
entire scalp has allayed violent infiam-
nation of the brain, and arrested fear
full commissions induced by too much
blood there. In Group, water as cold
as ice can make it, applied freely to the
throat, neck and chest with sponge
or cloth, very often affords an almost
miraculous relief, and if this be fol-
lowed by drinking copiously of the
same ice-cold element, the wetted parts
wiped dry, and the child wrapped up
well in the bed clothes, it falls into a
delightful and life-giving slumber.-

Way weeks biggest Day.

This is the great day of the May
week festival. It will be the most enter
esting day at the parade ground. The
programme is an attractive one. The
price of admission is small. 1t is within
the means of almost everyone. Business
houses will be very generally closed, so
that employers and employees can have a
holiday after 2 p. m. There ought to be
at least 10000 people out at the parade
ground this afternoon, and there will be
if the Military Interstate Association is
given the encouragement it deserves.
The association is succeeding admira-
bly, in furnishing amusement for the peo-
pie. If its success financially is anywhere
near what it ought to be the association
will provide a military festival every year.
1t depends upon the support which the
association receives whether or not the
festival becomes a permanent institution.
Let the attendance to-day be such as to
insure the festival becoming an annual

Senator Walthall tells a story on him
self which is none the less good by rea-
son of the fact that the scene is laid dur
ing the late civil war, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. At that time the senator was a
colonel in command of a confederate regi-
ment' and had brought his men into posi-
ton, occupying sunken road. A federal
battery was pouring shot and shell all
around the adjacent territory. This fire,
however passed over the regiment hidden
IN the roadway, and they We're to all
intents and purposes out of danger.
On the nigh bank in front of the place
where Col. Walthall stood was a giant
pine tree about a dozen feet in circurn-
ference Acting on the spur of the mo-
ment, the colonel thought a fine oppor-
tunity was presented to give his men
an object lesson in personal bravery with
out any risk to himself AccOrdingly he
climbed up the bank and stood behind The
pine tree. The next minute shell struclI
the tree and sent a shower of bark ana
splinters flying in all directions. when
Walthall overheard the following dialogue
between two of his men in the roadway
beneath: "AJ
