Popular Falacies Concerning Actors.

Popular notions concerning popular

w. H. Cranes company. '"This is con-
spicuously true of the idea, very general

Of any attachment for home and that
they are generally deficient in domesti-

opinion upon a misconception. The dis

seem, long for their ain freside' as

Visible on Every Hand.

Reviving prosperity is on every hand.
To be sure 1t is not coming with rush
and in the nature Of things could not be.
But there are reasons for believing that
the American people are gathering fresh
strength and that confidence so sorely
tried of late years. The many mills and
industries of all kinds that have SO severe
ly felt the shocks Of incompetent tariffs
and vociferous demands for besmirching
the national honor, have taken fresh heart
since the memorable verdict of the people
of last November. There were those who
in view of the campaign talk had the idea
that after election business would boom at
once and industries that had been keeping
house with closed doors for long periods
would at once resume with full force. This
could hardly be, but within brief time
after the election was over there had
been such a noticeable revival and SO
many men had found employment that
campaign pledges were fully kept in ev-
cry sense of the word. Business is gath
ering strength with every passing week.

Merchant. Buyinx Goods.

The Tribune, in its last weeks business
article, gave hint of the improved COM
mercial conditions by quoting from New
York paper a statement to the effect that
the city was filed with buyers from all
over the country. The summary of Dun's
reports indicates that the buyers were not
there merely to see the sights, but that
they actually bought, which is good
proof that they had gagged the buying
ability of their respective constituencies
and were satisfied that they were fairly
prosperous. Such facts as these speak
louder than the most elaborate theorizing
on the part of calamity howlers.-Minne-
