prices. One of our
ardent copiers has taken the cue.
You'd think February made the
prices. Why in the world don't
people exercise common sense? We
could sell Bedroom Furniture as
cheap in April as in February. We
don't, unless it be of belated lots
bought for February selling.
We sell bedroom furniture cheap
in February because we put the
buying power of the store on that
particular spot of the business
simply watch opportunities to place
great orders for February delivery
at prices less than the normal. AS
a rule you save a third to half.
February doesn't make the prices
we make the prices for February.
They are the same in early March
while lots remain.
That's all. It's simple. But the
plan is not adaptable to many stores
so borrowing the idea with no
chance of living UP to it doesn't
amount to much. Now, does it?

the DEMOCRAT should not be allowed q

wise man like the editor of the Enterprise

is, the only reason anybody can give for
Mr.. Stanger's bill is that it undoes some
thing that a Democratic Senator once had
done. In this case, action is taken against
the protest of every person affected, at the
behest of a few partisans, while Senator
Barker had it done because every person
affected petiti0ned him SO do it, and nobody
protested against it. That is the whole

the opening quotations. 1t was difficult
to get information regarding the precise
number of boatloads sold for export at
New York and elsewhere, but it was
very evident from what could be learn
ed that 100000 bushels or more had
been disposed of. That was the reason
why the market, after its reactionary
disposition in the forenoon became once
more very strong and was bringing

utes from the close. The final trading
price was 96 1-Sc.
Trade in corn was active and much
more general than in wheat. Strong
cables and very general damage reports
from drouth started the market very
firm, but the enormous receipts and
visible increase, coupled with some EN-
phatic denials of any material damage
to the crop, caused an easier feeling to
prevail for some time. The bullishness
of wheat in the last hour, however,
started renewed buying and closing

Oats-More interest was shown in
oats. There was considerable influential
buying and the market ruled firm from
the start. The strength of corn was
apparently the principal factor. The
visible supply increased 1880 bushels.

LET'S DEADLY SNAKES BITE.


DR.. Joseph Thompson. Jr.. Expert
ments with Venomous Reptiles.
DIR. Joseph Thompson, Jr., and his
collection of precious snakes will soon
be removed from Edgewater, Staten
island, N. Y. There is joy accordingly
among the Doctors neighbors, not be-
cause they dislike the doctor. but they
really don't care for snakes. On sew
eral occasions they have been scared
half silly because they escaped. The
doctor has been appointed assistant sur
geon of the navy.
There is in the snakes a scientific
charm for DIR. Thompson, and his expe-
riments with his pets" in which he has
made himself subject for their pois-
oned fangs. are startling. The doctor
not only handles the reptiles uncon-
cernedly without gloves, but has al
lowed one of the most poisonous of his
pets to sink its fangs in the flesh Of his
fore arm, and all for the sake of science.
BY the prompt administration OF anti
dotes DR.. Thompson has prevented seri-
GUS results.
He has worked with poisonous snakes
off and on for about five years, begin
ming with a North American RATHER,
which he captured on Tongue noun
tain, near Lake George, by which snake
he was bitten on the knuckle Of the in
dex finger of the right hand.
~ was away from the village" said
the doctor, land my only hope was to
bite the poison out, which did" Then
he exhibited the hole in the knuckle, at
the same time taking down large rat
tier from the wall, saying: THAT is
the overcoat of the fellow that bit me.
There are only three very poisonous
snakes in this countryside rattler, cop
perhead and moccasin. None OF them
will have any effect on person proper
ly treated with antivenene, the antidote
brought out by the French scientist
Calmet."

New York Fishermen Have an Mx-

There was great excitement in the
neighborhood Of the old iron pier at.
Coney Island, N. Y, the other day when
Commodore Harry Sturdevant sent
word to Lundy's hotel, near the pier,
that school of mammoth fish had Just
been sighted off the steamboat land
ing. Among those who heard the news
were Capt. Lundy and Capt. Andy Shoe
han, and party was at once organized
to capture the mysterious monsters Of
the sea. After hasty search several
big hooks and fish spears were brought
to light and party of dozen gallanti
fishermen started for the pier head.
1t was not long before big head came
TO the surface and Capt. Lundy called
for spear. With swift stroke hc
drove the three-pronged weapon at the
big fish, which darted for fathoms be-
low with a swiftness which pulled,
Lundy from his perch and into the
water. He climbed aboard again. and
aided in the struggle which followed to.
land the monster. It was a mammoth
sheepshead, weighing sly pounds ana
measured 6 feet Az, inches in length.

HERDING ON BICYCLES.
Cowboys Put Upon the UNIVERSAL

north of the north fork of the Chey-
enne river, are speeding after their
masters herds on bikes. The cow
ponies are eating their heads off in his
barnyard and will not again be called
into service until deep SHOWS render
the use of the wheels impossible.
Cattlemen have always considered
Mosely crank and dreamer of dreams.
but they conceded that he had outdone
himself when he resolved to furnish o
part of his herdsmen with bicycles in
stead of tough broncos so characteris-
tic of the "cow country" Mosely, to
do him justice, never said the expert
ment w ould prove a success. He
simply wanted to see it tried. Wheels,
he confessed, could hardly be used I'M
winter nor in cutting time, branding,
roping and turning stampedes.
He read some time ago of their intros
duction into the army, remarked on
the testimony of the experts, who said
they could go anywhere that horse
could and promptly declared they would
do for work on the ranges If such state
ments were true.
His men say they have actually done
better work in some cases than witlE
horses. They are of opinion--and Nose
ly agrees with them-that in the long.
run horsefesh discounts them. Stilg.
the margin between the usefulness OF
the bike and that of the bronco is not
a wide one. The former certainly COW
ers more ground in day than the lat

where the rider leaves it, no matter how
long may be his absence.

his wheel be it said that he quickly
distanced the cattle and escaped harm.
The wheels will probably be ADAM
doned after this season-perhaps sooner
AS their use has been somewhat ex-
pensive, but Mosely says he has had
the full worth of his money in watch
ing the cattle punchers master their
machines and in listening to their COM
ments as they discussed the merits Of
the experiment in which they were en-
gagged.
