Easter enthusiasm fills the store life. The
great Spring festival has trade side. But trade
has its feSta side
High-grade modern storekeeping catches
both sides. Tradition links new clothes to
Easter Modern fashion makes clothes beautl-
full. Enterprise adds objects that are artistic or
curious. to the merchandise attractions. Thus
the festival enthusiasm is created and Wanna
makers becomes public place of profit, con-
venience, beauty and enjoyment.

End Of ToMser.

"Towser," the tramp dog, who was
known TO almost every East ST. Louisan,
is no more. lie met his death recently
beneath the wheels OF a switch engine
near the relay depot. East ST. Louis.
His remains were buried on the lot east
OF the Martell House.
"Towser" was about seven years old
ana was a confirmed drunkard. He was
we'll known 10 every saloon keeper in
East St. Louis, and especially TO the sa-
loonlsts on the island. He driited into
East st. Louis from some point. no one
Is sure of the place, and made his home
among the switchmen and railroad men
that congregated in the railroad yards
in East St Louis. He was then quite
young. One evening as some OF the men
were drinking beer after their days
work, II was suggested that the dog be
given a taste. An old can was procured
and some OF the beer poured In. The dog
smel.ed II, tasted Il, and in a few Sec
Onds had Tapped II up. He then looked
UP at the men with pleading eyes that
seemed 70 say. Il would like 10 have
some more" He was given more and
since then mas always demanded MS
share OF the beer. AT times the men
would ignore the dogs whines. and then
he would jump in the air and bark until
no received MS dfluh. lie also insisted
upon getting a drink out Of each can,
and as a result was frequently drunk.
lie had a small can that one Of the ma
chinists made for him, out Of which he
drank his beer. This can no was taught
TO hide and get when the beer time came.
lie soon learned 10 90 to the saloons
for his beer. hnd when thirsty would
disdainfully turn from water If IL were
offered him. and go to a saloon. He was
very friendly 10 the barkeepers, and they
in turn always gave him all OF the malt
ed liquor he wanted. For the last year
he has been on one continual spree. At
times he would even drink whiskey.
Yesterday afternoon. after making the
rounds OF several saloons and getting
moro beer than ne could stand. he wend-
ed his way TO where he thought he would
meet some OF his old railroad friends who
would take care OF him until he sobered
up. Crossing the tracks at the relay de-
pot he did not notice a swiftly approach
ing switch engine. lie was In the centre
OF tho tracks before he became aware
that there was such a thing on earth as
an engine II was then too late. The
wheels OF the engine passed over TOW
sers' body. cutting him In two. Some Of
the switchmen gathered up the dogs re-
mains and buried them later in the even
