The UnseIfish Plumber.

Not content with denying to an
American citizen the right to buy gas
fixtures, or galvanized iron pipe, or
bath tubs, or kitchen boilers from
whomever he pleases; nor with telling
him that he must not use wooden
waShtubs in his laundry, and that he
must have at least one bathroom for
every ten persons in his family; nor
with prescribing a code for the con-
struction of his plumbing as minute
and tyrannical as any that Boyleau
ever dreamed of; nor with proposing a
Government inspection and approval of
the plans of architects, especially with
regard to light and ventilation, the
master plumbers have sought to bring
under their wise and benevolent juris-
diction the mana cement of the business
affairs of the government of cities,
counties, States, and even of the Ma
ton, writes F. Smith in Appleton's S
Popular Science Monthly"
A California law provides that in the
specifications for any State building,
those relating to the plumbing must, to
use their own jargon, be Segregated, .
and submitted directly to the plumbers
for estimates. The dignity Of this no.
bic organization of professional san
tarlans," which is coming to rival that
OF the feudal corporations, forbids the
plumbers" said the President of the

Texas association, after describing an
attempt made in San Antonio to force
upon the County Commissioners the OBJ
servance of the same absurd and ty-
rannical rule, should never be second
fiddlers to any contractor" The Or
dinances Of San Francisco and other
cities provide that no one but a reg
ularly licensed plumber shall touch the
sewers, thus compelling the payment
of plumbers wages for the work of
laborer. Two years ago the Master
Plumbers Association of Illinois pass
ed resolution that the United States
Government should be denied the right
to buy plumbing supplies from the
jobbers. Is it any wonder that the
Sanitary Committee urged in report
to the Philadelphia Convention that
upon every favorable opportunity
the plumbers should "endeavor to disa-
buse the public of the idea that our
legislative duties are selfsh?" Is the
idea altogether fanciful?-New York
Times.

why |

There is no place like Weinstock,
Lubln & co. on the Pacific Coast
to get your full moneys worth:
BECAUSE small profits satisfy
us.
BECAUSE we sell for cash.
BECAUSE we have the ready
cash to pay for our goods.
BECAUSE we give no credit. We
incur no bad debts, and do not
have to charge extra profits to
cover such losses, or to run a
special bookkeeping and col
lection department for credit
accounts.
BECAUSE we deal largely with
factories, thus leaving out mid
dlemen. Many goods we get
in carload lots, thereby securing
the lowest freight rates.
BECAUSE we guarantee both
the quality and price of our
goods by cheerful willingness
to pay back the money for any
article a customer wishes to re-
turn after purchasing. This ap-
plies to all merchandise in our
house with the exception Of kid
gloves and goods cut from the
piece.

tachment of fifty men as an outpost to
guard against a sortie Of the MeXicans;
the gallant Reno for moving his bat
terry along with the storming column.
Reno afterward caught up with John
ston's Voltigeurs, with one hoWitzer, and
was wounded while firing it.
Stonewall Jackson ran his section of
artillery up to within point blank range
OF the enemy. The horses at his guns
were all killed, but he hauled one piece
across the ditch and planted it close
to the enemys pathway of retreat. Cap
tain Casey led one party of stormers at
double quick through showers of grape
until he was wounded, then turned over
the command to Captains Steele and
Bee Hunt also moved his battery close
upon the heels of the StOrming parties
and fired over their heads into the Mexi-
can ranks. Armistead was the first man
to leap into the ditch and place a lad
der for scaling the embankment. This
he accomplished under a shower of bull
lets and hand grenades. D. H. Hill, with
twenty men, aided Magruder in the de-
fense of the guns, which he had boldly
advanced along with the storming col
ufDnS, from a desperate cHdFSe upon
them made by the Mexicans. Hooker
and Earl Van Dorm were breveted for
gallantry while carrying orders under
fire.
But while all were brave, there was
still a chance for some to OutStep others
in that exciting race for glory. Leuten-
ant Longstreet marched with his COM
pany in the heavy battalion which fol-
lowed up the attack While carrying the
flag Of his regiment up the hill, and wav
ing it to cheer on the men, he was Sc
verely wounded. His companion, Lieu
tenant Pickett, then took the flag and
bore it to the castle wall. While the
battle still ragged at the bases of the
hills, on the right and on the left, Pick
EFT lowered the Mexican banner and re-
placed it with the colors of the Eighth
United States Infantry, which, amid the
cheers of the soldiers, around and be-
low, flashed in the breeze far above the
classic Aztec groves and gardens, above
the warm and bleeding corse of a Monte
yuma, last of that royal line, above and
in view of the doomed Capital of the
MeXicans in the plains and beyond.
