COMFORTABLENESS

To be sure, we make blunderS-
but we cure them. That's it. You
take no sort of risk.
Thousands know that we kept a
pretty good store, even years ago,
when the volume of business was
smaIl-counted THE BEST STORE,
though odd, because we made your
satisfaction the one test. Goods
falling short of that were to be
brought back, no matter how much
loss to US was entailed.
Year byyear the volume Of bust
ness has grown; buying power
has increased = there has been
growing advantage to you in deal

make we share literally. In good

For you are still urged to bring
wrong things back-it would be
childish to sell wrong things know
ingly.
Thinking of gift times now. Gift
things of all things should be right
not necessarily costly, but in good
taste. This store is never more
necessary than during holiday times.
1t is so easy to make mistakes dur
ing the rushed-for-time days that
one is in danger of buying gaudy
things, despite usual good judgment.
Safest to 90 where gaudiness does
not enter.

One Of the oldest couples in the
United States dwell at Bethel, VT,
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitman Dean. Mr..
Dean was born in 1907 and Mrs. Dean
in 1874. They celebrated their golden
wedding in 1882 Mr. Dean can re-
member hearing the big guns at the
battle of Plattsburg. He has read
the Bible through several times and
it has been great study to him all
his life. In years past ministers
came to him to inquire where to find
certain passages of Scripture. This
aged couple never rode on the steam
cars or steamboat and we're never out
of lheir own state. They have been
blessed with seven children.

Testing Coal.

An apparatus by which an engineer
may test or determine the quality and
adoption of the coal he receives is de-
scribed in the Boston Journal Of Com
merce. The test is not intended to be an
analysis, but principally to show the
amount of fixed carbon in the coal and
the percentage Of ash. As each carload
is received samples are taken from 20 or
more parts of the car, thoroughly mixed
and quartered, each quarter being also
mixed and quartered until the sample is
obtained. This sample is then carefully
weighed, the volatile matter driven off,
weighed again, and the carbon consumed,
and the ash weighed. This estimate is
important in guarding against the use
Vt coal having an undue percentage of
lsh. The various Goals differ in the per-
centage Of ash which they contain, some
Cumberland Goals having from 10 to IA
per cent of ash, while good New river
will have as low as 3 or 4 per cent.
Thus, though the Goals may look alike
TO the average engineer, the heat value
characterizing them is 10 per cent great
er in one description than the other,
and, ascertaining this, an important
saving in the cost of fuel may result.

to which way to go, but finally crossed
to the south track and stood there.

conductor
In answer to the appeal the woman
suddenly appeared around the rear of

Then she changed her mind and trotted
to the front end of the car. Here she
climbed up and came i'll the front door,

wexler,s Paper Promises.

Our "Greenbackers' should rejoice
over the fact that another paper money
experiments being tried. IF greenbacks
put down the rebellion in the United
States, why shouldn't they prove effect
i've weapons against Cuban rebels?''--
reasons General Weyler, who is flooding
the coast towns of Cuba with artistically
engraved promises to pay ON one side of
piece of paper and q picture of we'll
developed tobacco plant on the other
side.
The experiment is bound to be sue
cessful, for the notes are made legal
tender in the worst way. Amy shop
keeper who refuses to accept these prom
Uses for their face value is subject to in
slant imprisonment in jails where con-
finement means almost certain death.
OF course under the circumstances the
notes are accepted. Weyler, however,
forgot to decree that prices should not
be raised, and the Cuban shopkeepers
are mean enough to try to defeat the
experiment by raising prices. So far
they have only doubled prices, but each
one is trying to see how high he can put
prices, and the end is not In sight.
Come to think of it, high prices, con-
stantly growing higher, have defeated
all past experiments with paper money.
Perhaps Weyler, by correcting this little
defect, may yet demonstrate that Green
hackers are right and that cheap money,
by proper legislation, can be made just
as good as money made from costly
metals. What boon plenty of money
would be to mankindi Success to Wey-
ler's experiment and death to the traitor
who tries to prevent its success by rails
ing prices or by refusing to accept Wey-
ler's handsome promises!

WHAT is MONEY!
| Gnbiect Clearly Explained by College
President at Farmers Convention.

Enhiect Clearly Explained by a College
President at n Farmers Convention.
The following is part of the synopsis
printed by the Milton wis journal Of
an excellent address by President Whit
ford Of Milton college before the farm
ers' convention at recent meeting at
Milton. 1t contains some very lucid
statements Of money and Of the power Of
governments to fix value:
First. Two separate and distinct val
ues are assigned to money, one being
the intrinsic or market value Of the ar
ticle used; the other the legal or face
value, indicated by the stamp or device
pressed upon the article. In some well
known instances what is popularity
called money has only one Of these
values
Second. The common practice Of
tribes and nations in selecting such ar
ticles or commodities for money is to
adopt two kinds or grades Of them, one
having greater market value according
to its weight, for use in the larger ex-
changes in trade; the other having lesser
value, for the smaller exchanges. This
practice furnishes the first essential con-
dition for a system of bimetallism.
Third. Only that money is basic and
widely ard permanently used which is
made Of precious metals, very generally
gold and silver Other and perishable
commodities are finally abandoned or
held redeemable in these metals.
Fourth. The market value Of these
metals, not their face value, constitutes
the original and continuous quality by
reason of which they are almost univer-
sally accepted as basic or primary mon
ey. Government or custom can add
quality, not inherent, but temporary,
to such metals and other articles used as
medium of exchange. But the real
measure thus declared to be effective
and lasting must be the one established
by the laws of trade, not by the edicts Of
government.
Fifth. Government itself cannot fix
or control the market value or price Of
any metal or other commodity, whether
used as money or in the practical arts
So it cannot make fiat money and com
pei the people to circulate it great
length of time as money of any sort
Sixth. Any coins or other money
whose market value is less than their
face value always soon expel from cir
culation all coins or other money whose
market value is greater according to
their weight, unless the former are re-
deemable in the latter Whenever a coin
shows even slight inferiority of its
market value to its face value, it tends
at once to crowd out of use even coin
whose two values are equivalent
Seventh. has been adopted by
the principal civilized nations as pri-
mary money or the standard of values
because of its greater market value, its
less weight for given sum of money
and its least fiuctuation in market value
of any of the precious metals.
Eighth. Coins like silver, whose
market value is less than their face val
ue can be kept circulating at the same
time with gold coins even in somewhat
large amounts only by being redeem
able in the same denominations with
the gold. The same is true Of paper
money, which has no appreciable mar
ket value.

Stone Formations on which Were Found
Some Wonderful Pictures.
Pliny, a well known writer of about
the time of Christ, mentions having
seen an agate the lines and markings Of
which formed perfect picture Of Apollo
and the nine muses.. Pliny says that the
little children recognized it on sight.
In this wonderful natural picture, as
well as the artificial drawings, Apollo
was represented seated in the midst Of
the muses., harp in hand.
Maiolus, another writer of high stand
ing, saw an agate in the collection of a
ieweler at Venice which, when polish
ed, showed perfect picture Of a shep-
herd with crook in hand and cloak
thrown loosely over his shoulders.
In the church of st. John, at Pisa,
Italy, there is piece of stone heavily
marked with red, blue and yellow spar,
the lines representing an old man with
heavy white beard, with a bell in his
hand, seated beside a small stream. To
the worshipers at st. Johns it is known
MS the st. Anthony stone, the picture
upon it being perfect likeness of that
saint, even to the minor details of tunic
and bell.
In 1908 some quarrymen in Italy
burst open slab of marble both sides
Of which contained an image of st. John
the Baptist covered with the skin Of a
camel Everything was true to nature
Ia single exception, the saint had only
been provided with one leg and foot
How, when or upon what pretext the
Turks were allowed to gain possession
Of the wonderful relic the writer au-
thority fails to state 1t only adds that
the miraculous production is now in tho
temple of st. Sophia at Constantinople
Directly after the great Johnstown
flood ID. S. Wingrove, superintendent of
the marble yard at the penitentiary at
Baltimore, found slab Of marble with
lines and veins which made perfect
picture of the fated city of Johnstown
and the surrounding country. The sky
is plainly marked, as are also the hills
and mountains surrounding the town.
Piles upon piles of ruins are marked,
with an occasional steeple or topping
wall overhanging the scene of awful de-
struction. Taken all in all, the scien-
lists consider it one of the most wonder
full natural formations ever found in
America. Brooklyn Eagle.
