When this election is over and the
congressional hosts reassemble at
Washington then there will be another
pull for the pie counter. 1t is coming
to be accepted in Texas that there will
be less pulling in the future than
there has been in the past. The old
agreement will stand more effectually
than it has done, and each man with
in his own sphere will be less interior
ed with by his neighbor. In Makem-
sons district the fruits are already
seen and the judge has offered to him
the naming of candidates for the vari-
Gus post office positions that are to
be filled by the present administration.
This is much more creditable to Judge
MakemsOn than for him to be contend
ing for an opportunity to carve pie.
The full meaning of the failure of
some applicants and some pie dispen-
sers has not yet dawned upon their
consciousness, but il will in the course
Of little more time. Then will it be
understood that pressing for place is
not the surest way to secure attention.

tuberculosis In Cows.

The State cattle commissioners last
week killed between forty and fifty dis
eased cows in the fine herd of Jersey
thoroug breds of Aonzo Libby, Of West :
brook. This herd was exhibited at the
Eastern Maine State fair in Bangor, and
was considered the finest in the State.
The cows had become infected wit tub er-
culosis, and were ordered killed.
On Tuesday of last week the COM
missioners caused fifteen cows in a herd
of nineteen, belonging to c. H. Patterson,
Of Hampden Centre, to be killed. A
diseased COW had been previously found
in Mr.. Patterson's herd, and it was at his
request that thorough examination Of
all the cattle was made.
1t was only last week that THE AMERI-
CAN reported the killing of fourteen cows
from a fine herd of Jerseys in Bangor.

Then he brought up the subject OF tall

Big Department stores.

Aside from departures in policy and
innovations ON large scale the originai-
ity OF the department store is largely sup
piled by two departments to some extent
correlated. These are the advertising de-
partmeht and the window dressing de-
psrtment. One is the literature OF the
great store; the OF her its art
The shop-W1ndoNs are great stimul us
Tor the department whose goods are dis
played i'll them. good showing Will
often wonderfully increase the sale of the
STOCK rs well as attract customers to he
store who are new to il.
Frequently the head advertising man
is The general manager OF the store.
W het her his Is the case or not he is a
general supervisor of the esta blishment
With complete noaledge of its ever
changing detail. Every day he holds
consultations With heads of departments
to find out what particular lines of ar
tlcies they want "boomed', and about
those articles lie writes aiIuring state
ments Tor the shopping public to read
sometimes arranging for illustrations
wit them.
The amount of money spent for adver-
Using is appalling when looked upon as
an expense. One great store in Phitsdei-
phla spends on an average 81 600 every
day in the year, and good many spend
$500 day. The advertising receives
probably more of the personal attention
of the head Of the house than any OF her
department. The head of the firm which
eXpends the great sum just mentioned
personally suggests and frequently writes
the leading lines in the daily announce
ment. The proprietor OF great store i'll
Brooklyn does this invariably, and thinks
the time well spent which the work daily
