Belmar in to curry our colors. I re-
garded Mann as the only dangerous
quantity against us and finding that he
could be bought for $1,000 put up the
amount and took him out Of the race.
Beimar won handily.
Since then we have watched the
horse carefully and found THAT he had
good, game qualities in him and could

HAD A BUSY TIME YESTERDAY

Our big DRY Goods Merchants" are
reaping the benefit of their special an
nouncement in the Sunday Light.
Messrs. Wolff & Marx hurled defii-
ance at their competitors; Joske

rare bargains, with every move made

line to catch the trade; "Ballinger"
the live special clothing man, has made
great reductions in clothing; L. Wolf
son, the merchant prince of Main

1t is needless to remark that J.
Steinhardt and the Racket Store, cap

ner & Chabot and A. Pancoasts' Sons
were strictly in the swim with today's
sales.
The Moke Millinery Co., and the
Great Five and Ten Cent Store, had a
full share of customers.
There are others" who do not let
the public know what they have for
sale or how they sell it. We would adj
wise them to advertise and put money
in their purse"
The customers who buy are those
who read advertisements in the daily
papers, and watch the Lights columns
for bargains.

Eve heard a discussion lately - to
who should keep the purse in the mar
riase partnership. Now 1t would seem
that In that kind of a hrm there ought
70 be a fair division. 1t may be that
Doth are adding to the exchequsr. but
whether one or both. they should freely
share their united income. Woman
Kind says, that If statistics were taken
on the subject, only about one man in
thousand would be found just enough
to give his wife separate purse. "If
she La proud woman, she will suffer
cruel deprivation rather than put her
self In the position Of beggar for
aims"
Apropos of this. Eve has heard a
little story that belongs right in New
Orleans. A young couple after the
wedding had settled down to board
with the BRIDES parents. The girl had
been provided with a very ample trous-
seau. and her husband paid board and
laundry bills very promptly. SO that
several months passed before her
mother noticed very painful en-
barrassment about her daughter. Pin
money from papa having ceased, she
never had nickel for car fare or the
plate In church, for thread. or any
thing. her mother supplying all this
when they went out together. At last
one day the mothers purse ran short.
and she said: Fannie. haven't you

any money at all? "Never!" well.
you must ask him; he may be one Of
those men who don't think of such
things-having wife is new to him.
Say you need little coin"
Fannie had made an engagement to
go out with friend next morning, and
the friend called just as breakfast was
over. This was her best chance.
thought Fannie, so running back from
the parlor door to where her husband
was getting his hat, Fannie said, blush

PEN POINTS.

Unless a man is open to conviction
you can't shut him up with your argu-
ments.
The man who fools with cravats or
matrimonial ties is bound to get it in
the neck.
The fond lover presses the buttons
on his best girls waist-and her papa
does the rest.
More things will come to the man
who labors than to the one who sits
down and waits.
Some men are like Photographs;
they talk a great deal. but never say
anything original.
Hope springs eternal in the human
breast. That's why the pool Of disap-
pointment is always stopping over.
Don't expect your ulster to look clean
and fresh this fall. Just because you
have had 1t in soak all summer.
An optimist is man who is happy
when he is miserable; pessimist' is q
man who Is miserable when he Is hap
py.
Glory seldom troubles = man while
he lives. but after the funeral It comes
around and keeps the flies of his MEM
ory.
It is said that half the people born

u.p,r MEAN, MONEY MADE.

You cannot advertise money out y. r~
ple's pockets all the time you may do it now
and then, but if you don't give them some
thing of absolute merit in return, advertis-
ing will never prove successful. The kind
of advertising that pays is advertising q
good thing. As it has the merit people will
use it again and again. Never has 1t been
better illustrated than in the great success
of Cascarets, candy cathartic, that We have
been lately advertising in this paper. All
Druggists call Cascarets repeaters, that is,
people buy them, like them, and buy them
again and recommend them to their friends
Cascarets ar. guaranteed to cure const1pa-
ton or money refunded, and are delight
full laxative and liver stimulant; the best
medicine ever made. We recommend all
our readers to try them.
