Trade and Destroy Competition.
lFrom Col. Julian S. Carr's Address at
the Winston Tobacco FairJ
Now to you. bright. busy, energetic
men of business, | say. let us hold UNI
diminished our respective stations OF
prominence, giving however, to all 9TH
Iers a fair field and asking no favors-
content to rely upon personal exertion
and the intrinsic merit of our goods for
a continuance of past success.
Such is the spirit of the government
under which we live, and / hold it true
and worthy to be said here and now,
that the abandoned methods of the
peddling blockader were no more hurt
full to our honorable business than the
equally illegal methods of those who
try in defiance of explicit statutes to
shut out competition by organized
monopoly. j..
America is no fit home for the revival
of the old medieval methods or the
baron. Might was never right perse,
and it is less so in this than in any pre-
vious century. There is a conscience in
modern business, let him who will deny
it.
1t may not be morally acute, it may
t times speak with few listeners, but in
the years it strikingly manifests itself
and bring honest competition to the
front as the best and most lasting pol
icy. A fettered trade is worthy only of
fettered men.
We must ever look to the (tObacco)
producer as the miller oes to the wheat
raiser, as the shoemaker to the tanner,
as the spinner to the cotton grower, as
the tower looks to the abutment.
An injury to him is felt through all
the frame WORK of our organized bust
ness, and business built upon his wreck
ing is but bucconeering, disguise it as
you may.
1t is the pirate aboard the peaceful
merchantmen, it is a ravage of the
high seas of legitimate business, it calls
for the protection of the Queens Navy,
it should receive the execration of all

pulpit, counting house and shop, bar
rister and layman.
You will not expect me, and / would
deem it unworthy of myself and you.
to indulge in fulsome laudations of the
agricultural class as such to the i'm
members of our social system. Far from
me and my thoughts be that intentions:
but it can never be too often said tina:
all prosperity is in its final analysis the
offshoot of the soil, and that of all
earth's children we Americans alone
have based government upon the con-
sent of the toilers.
Elsewhere in all the suns rounds he
sees the many reaping for the few.

Through The courteous aid of the

1t is proposed to cut steps in the

80 feet, with bench on either side.
The plan suggests an iron railing on
both sides. The second route submitted
seems to have a preponderance of ad-
vantages.

trail, with occasional steps and resting
places, winding around the southerly
side and ending where the lag pole
was, at which place it is intended to
level the ground and set benches. This
would make the ascent of Punchbowl
simple matter.
From the fact that the approach Is
more available from the center If the

Theatrical Smoke.

The method by which this effect is pro
duced contradicts the proverb, where
there is smoke there is fire, for quaint
ty of hot water poured upon shovelful OF
quicklime will create smoke enough tc
simulate tho smokiest of chimneys. The
possibilities of smoke or steam as an aid
to Elusive effect have not yet, however,
been exhausted. Probably the day Is not

The London Daily News says that il
England the whole theory of the day
meals is being altered. Business men now
make their lunch in the city practically a
dinner, take certain amount of rest afte
it, and at tho close of business go home tt
a lighter supper. Among those who main
tain tho old order of things the dinner
hour is earlier than formerly. In the wes
and south in this country the favoritt
practice Is to have dinner at midday ol
early in the afternoon and 1t is observable
in New York that many Jersey commuters

How to Use Court-PIaster.

Did you ever notice the way a physi-
clan prepares the court plaster for q
wound? First, he holds the piece
lengthwise directly through the mid
die. The plaster should be considerably
larger than the wound, to keep well
over the edges; then slash the plaster
lengthwise nearly to the edge. Straight

the slashed pieces at opposite ends.
Place the straight edges OF the court
plaster to the flesh on either side of
the wound, bringing the strips across
the wound. Moisten them, and taking
a strip from each side, draw them to-
gether gently, closing the cut, and stick
the plaster in place. Continue with all
the strips, and the cut win be dressed
in a manner to insure a perfect heal
ing. and as well as any doctor could
do it.

This queer representative of the My

the hoof. especially the fetlock. The
hair gained in this curious operation
Is used by the insect as a nest building
material, and is removed from the leg
OF the mule or horse by a strong pair
of mandibles, which resemble those of

NOVEL E~NTERTAiNMENr.
Provided by a st. Louis Hostess for Her
Femin:ne IrrieaGs.


a wealthy St. Loaisan living n the
vicinity OF Lafayette park provided a
novel form Of entertainment for his
guests n evening iast week, says the
st. Louis Republic.
The hostess was extremely anxious
to provide something original for the
ediication of a score Of guests whom
she intended to call together for an
informal evening. Her husband prom
lsed to provide such novelty and took
a boon companion into his confidence
to that end. They had not exchanged
ideas thirty consecutive seconds before
they hit upon the device of converting
the elegant parlors into a gambling
mousse pro TEN. A faro bank, a roulette
Wheie and poker and keno '~lay-outs"
were easily pr~ocurable, as the confer
rees we'll knew, and that part of the
programme was Don settled. The
friend suggested as a pretty epilogue
the introduction of a pair of bulldogs,
guaranteed to reduce each other to
mincemeat in three rounds. This rather
staggered the ambitious host, but his
friend is a ward politician, and, with
the ~eloquence he always keeps on
draught, soon convinced the other that
the evening would be a failure without
those bulldogs.
me evening arrived and with it
came the guests. The ladies were pref
tily shocked at sight of the gambling
paraphernalia, but became accustomed
to 1t IN an astonishingly short time
and shared in the games with becoming
vim. 1t was when the yellow bull
dogs made their unexpected entrance
that the horror of the fair guests
proved genuine. The beasts yelped and
groWled and showed other peculiarly
canine symptoms Of spelling for a

refuge on the piano and card tables and
chairs, conducting their retreat as from

notwithstanding excited feminine
protestations, the friend who had been
consulted as to a novelty in enter
talnment unleashed the dogs. 1t was
an exciting climax to an original
evening. The dogs Toasted for five
minutes on choice bits of each others
anatomy. The ladies screamed and the
friend who was consulted eXulted in
the success of his novelty. When he
was quite convinced-and it took a con-
siderable time to convince him-that
the ladies' desire for gore had been
fully gratified he doused the dogs into a
convenient tub of water and separated
them.
