When we were publishing paper
in Mt. Vernon, ILL.,, on the second
floor, a store was opened in the room
under our office. The senior propri-
etor came up stairs and contracted
for three columns space tor twelve
months with locals each issue and
$500 dodgers each week. This firm
started on borrowed capital. In less
than three years it had money enough
to start two stores-ono in Sedalia
and one in st. Louis. 1t dissolved
partnership and each pJrtner took a
field to himself. ByreL Nugent was
the partner who made the contract,
and who is now senior member of
B. Nugent & Bro, the great st. Louis
house. He not only owns the store
buildinn and ground, but is now
erecting modest little cottage home
which will cost him $4,000. We
must add that some cid moss backs
who were in business in Mt. Vernon
before Byron Nugent aver saw the
place are grumbling abont dull trade
and hard times.

St. Louis Republic: The express
sion "Dark as Egypt" takes its
origin from Book of Exodus, tenth
chapter, verses q, % aud 90: "And
the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch
out thine hand toward heaven, that
there may be darkness over the land
of Egypt, even darkness that may
be felt. And Moses stretched forth
his hand toward heaven; and there
was a thick darkness over all the
land Of Egypt for three days. They
saw not one another, neither rose
any from his place for three days;
but all the children of Israel had
light in their dwellings,"

LEADERS WANrED.-What is needed
in Tennessee more than anything
else is leader of leaders who knows
how to be honest and who dares to
be true. A majority of the people
are honest and in favor of honest
methods, but the men who are at the
front in politics move on low plane,
are inspired by low motives and of
course resort to low methods. Many
of those who succeed in political life
expect to do it through trickery, not
by the exhibition of knowledge and
skill in state craft. The result is the
tricksters and schemers and men OF
small caliber are on top and the pub
lie interests suffer injury.-hnorrille

RECEIPT.

If we could 90 back and straighten
The tangled web of the ycars;
If we could 60 back and soften
Some of the heart-aches and tears;
If we could return and linger
Where faltering footsteps have trod,
How much less tor self our service,
How much more of work for God
If we could caress the forehead,
And kindly kiss the cold check;
If we could awake the heart-strings
That no longer for solace seek;
If tn years could wenl their way backward

How much would we do. o, soul-life.
How much would we leave undouc!

Dentistry without Pain.

l have at last solved the problem Of
preparing teeth for filing with no
pain. This is done by the recently
discovered electric instrument which
is simple, scientific and painless, and
is applied to the tooth with no dis
comfort to patient, but allows me to
cut out the cavity, or remove the
nerve, without least pain. As you
know, I also extract teeth without
pain.
My Bossier friends and patients
will find me at the same stand.

List NIGHT.

l saw your face and clasped your hand
Last night.
Time, with sudden movement, SPAWNED
The years that like grim wardcrs stand
Between the present and the past
Why did you bridge that distance vast
Last night
The tender smile that once knew
Shone bright.
o days that since that time have fled
0 CHASTITY wraiths of dreams long dead,
Your phantom forms took shape and rose
From silence deep. from long rcpose
Last night
No brightness did that vision lack.
Its flight
Came with tie form that brought me back
The glare of day. Along the track
OF fruitless years there shone glow,
Reflected from the long ago.
Last night.
. lore of days long passed away.
Once bright,
That vision shed it's hectng ray
Thro drifting storms, thro' shadows gray.
| saw the olden dreams arise
l saw the love-light in your eyes
Last night.
