We were by far the largest purchasers
from Indiana at this great salvage sale, and
we got the only real bargains in this State.
The small lots sold high-that is we'll known
and it was in the large lots that the bar
gains came. These the smaller stores couldn't
touch. Our great outlet-the greatest in
Indiana, by the way-enabled us to take
anything that was put up, no matter how
large, just so the price was right-and that
is why the really good things from ST. Louis

to be a record-breaker. This telegram is

to their afflicted child. Much of their earn

vices proved unavailing. The representative
was greeted by Mrs. Adams, from whom he
gained the story of her great trial.
Fannie, the youngest child, was born In
east Tennessee, and was seven years old ON
the third day of February, 1897. When ten
months old she was stricken with paralysis,
stroke Of paralysis was followed by convul-
sions, and from the time little Fannie was
ten months old until February, 1897, there
was not o single day or q night that she did

nature. Not . single convulsion, but al

An interesting episode occurred
dan and Mrs. Grub, a lady who
recently came into our midst. 1t APP
pears that Mrs. Grubb rented from
F. E. Wright a small building in the
north end of town without first e
ing the dwelling, and was given the
key thereto. Thursday she inquired
of a citizen which dwelling it was
she had rented and the gentleman told
her, correctly as he supposed. Satur-
day Mrs. Grubb went to the house
pointed out and found that the key
admitted her. Within it's precincts
she found various household effects
and other articles such as paint
buckets, ETC.. which with the aid of

Sometime later in the day another
gentleman noticed her at work and
informed her that she was in the
wrong house. Leaving the place at
once she made a new start in the
proper building. After supper Mr..
Sheridan came home and to his sur
prise found himself moved out, his
effects being badly scattered in the
rear Of the house. Learning the
cause he approached Mrs. Grub and
inquired why. when she found her
mistake, she did not seek to remedy
the damage done, but in reply re-
ceived a threat of arrest If he did not
get off her premises. BY way of ex-
planning her mistake she said Mr..
| Wright had told her the house would
need some cleaning and finding SO
much dirt she was sure it was the
place. Having been threatened with
arrest and SO poor a compliment be
ing paid his housekeeping habits,
Mr.. Sheridan retorted that II he
thought she had anything he would
have her arrested. She demanded
to know why he thought she had
nothing and his response was, ''from

feud terminated for the time being
and Mr.. Sheridan proceeded in the
work of restoring his domestic sur
roundings to their former place

was pleased with the girls style and de-

note, also under an assumed name. The
couple corrcsponded for several months.
When Katherine received the photo
graph of Franz she thought she saw the
face of an old friend of her early child
hood, as did Franz when he saw the
photograph of the girl.
Franz proposed marriage to the girl,
and he offered to send her passage
money. The girl agreed, and n few
days ago she arrived. Each seemed
thunderstruck when brought face to
face, for it developed that they had been
sweethearts in their childhood days.
They had no idea of a previous acquaint-

Commercial Geography of Europe.

Commercial Geography of Europe.
1t is interesting to observe the geo
graphical reasons for the distribution
of manufacturing industries. Cotton
spinning and weaving are confined in
Great Britain to a few places in the
west because there is the district of
cheapest coal and also a specially moist
atmosphere owing to the effect of high
ground upon the notwithstanding
winds fresh from the ca; and for spin
ming and weaving cotton a moist
climate is very important. The French
coal fields are so widely dispersed and
comparatively unimportant that the
mills and factories are distributed, not
with regard to them, but with a view to
the convenience of obtaining local and
foreign supplies of raw material. The
wooden mills, for instance, are in the
north where most of the sheep are
grown and where it is easiest to bring
in the large amount of Argentine wool
that France consumes--Cyrus C.. Ad-
