DISCOUNTS AND PROFITS.

Bicycle agents have learned by ex-
perience that large discounts do net
necessarily mean large profits. Large
discounts are only obtainable by a
sacrifice of quality of material, of care
in manufacture, of rigid inspection, of
thoroughness in finish, and of the nu-
merous other items that go toward es-
tablishing the enviable reputation of
a reputable bicycle. 1t is well-known
fact, for instance, that the discounts on
Columbia bicycles are the smallest Of
any in the trade. The agent knows,
however, that in this case he Is buying
his goods at the very lowest market
price, but is willing to accept smaller
discount on the Columbia because he
Immediately discovers that the quantity
of his sales is greater than can be ef-
fected by handling other makes, and
he has the additional guarantee that
not only can no one undersell him, but
that it is equally impossible for any
other dealer to obtain Columbia BIZ
cycles at lower prices than he himself
pays. That the agency for such a BIZ
cycle is sought after is easy to appre-
clate, and in the same connection the
reason is not far to seek why Columbia
agents are sought after by other man.
ufacturers who desire to follow the
path of success, but while the subject
of discounts is of vital interest to the
agent, the quality of the discount is OF

COmmander Gambler Never Gave Or
ders, He Made Requests.
I never met a Gambler or read OF one
but what my mind involuntarily whls-
pers: Gentlemen of the Banks County
Guards" 1 know of but one Gambler
family in the state, and all its members
are marked for force and originality.
This family goes back to revolution
ary sire and has inherited his virtues,
his patriotism, his integrity and self
reliance. l never knew family that
had more self-reliance. They lean on
nobody and ask no favors, but forge
ahead. Yes, they forge ahead and carve
their own way in the battle of life, but
not to make money. They are all poor,
but are independent and successful. l
don't mean to say they are poverty
stricken, but l never knew Gambler
who was rich. Riches are not their goal.
I know of two generations of these
Gamblers and they are all alike-the
girls and the boys-alike in their fam
lily training-their estimate of duty,
their sobriety, their high ambition,
their cheerfulness, their faith in God
and His DEGREES.
Gentlemen of the Banks County
Guards, you will please to right face. "
1t was during the long winter of 1861
62 when we were in winter quarters at
Centerviile, Va, we boys used to go
down occasionally to hear Capt. Cand-
Ter drill his company. This Capt.
Gambler was the father of our next gov
ernor, and like all the Gamblers, had his
own ways and methods. He was a
Chesterfield in manners, Stonewall in
patriotism and was never known to use
any profane language or to relate a
vulgar anecdote. His politeness was
intuitive. He couldn't helpit. Gentle
men of the Banks county guards, pleast
to give me your attention. Iholdin my
hand an order from the colonel com
manding directing me to take you or
picket duty to Mason's hill tomorrow
morning at sunrise and that you pro

I trust that it will be your pleasure tc

All his commands were polite re-
quests and even the request of his mer
were improved and refined in theil
manners and conversation by associa
tion with him. He was a patriot, 9
soldier, and always a gentleman. The
Second Georgia was commanded by the
brave Col. Semmes, and sometimes
when the regiment was on drill or dress
parade, Gen. Johnston and his staff
would happen there just to hear Capt
Gambler drill his men. Gentlemen oi
the Banks County guards, you will
observe that the eyes of our great lead
er are upon you and trust that you
will show your very best soldierly
training while in his presence. Gentle
men of the Banks County guards, you

tanned in the best of homes. Being a
handsome young fellow he naturally at
tracted the attention of the young
ladies, who were only too anxious to aid
him.
While in Lookout Valley. some 30
miles from Chattanooga, Lawton
formed the acquaintance of Georgia
belle, a type of southern beauties very
abundant in that valley. She was not
the child of rich parents. She did not
live in mansion, was not waited upon
by bevy of slaves, but she was dream
beautiful of feature, black eyed, per-
feet of form, grace itself. Her home by
the roadside was of logs, and had two
doors-one facing the road, the other
the deep, dark woods. Lawton fell in
love with her and she with him. Like
all of the women in the valley she was
an earnest advocate of the confederate
cause. Her father and two brothers
were in the army of that cause.
Lawton and the Georgia belle were
engaged within ten days. Apparently
there were never two people who loved
better or were more to each other.
Lawton's confidence in his lady love was
complete; he felt that he could trust
her without reserve-that it was not
necessary to keep back anything.
When it was nearly time for him to re-
turn to our lines to make report Law
ton was unwise enough to confide to the
Georgia belle that he was in the secret
service-a servant of the United States.
This confession did not seem to startle
the young woman, She intimated that
she had mistrusted as much. Her de-
votion to the bogus confederate officer
was more intense than ever. Lawton
was to start for the union camps on
Friday. Thursday evening he was to
make farewell visit, expecting to re-
turn within month.
Capt. White, of the confederate army,
a dashing cavalryman, was the young
lady's real lover. Early Friday morning
she sent word to Capt. White that her
game was about ready to trap, and re-
quested him to be present. He was
there. When Lawton opened the door
to enter the abode OF his adored a re-
volver was clapped against his neck,
the trigger touched, and that was the
end of a spy who made only one mistake
in a long and successful career, and a
pretty woman had hand in that one
mistake. In that instance she was a
better spy than the professionally. A,

A Toledoan's Disappearance.

Toledo, March BE. B. Langel, ex-
president of the Toledo Letter Carriers
association, and prominent Maccabee,
has disappeared from the city and it is
said is short in his accounts with the
secret order of which he is member.
Langel mailed resignation to Post
master Brand. This was on Thursday
of last week, and since that time he
has not been seen. His family fears
that he has committed suicide, while
the postal officials think he has started
for the Klondike, and have sent out in
formation to the secret service agents.

justice court jury in the pure drug case
against Henry E.. Marvin, wholesale
druggist. Marvin was prosecuted for
selling medicines alleged to contain
opium, without labelling the bottle
poison" The court reversed the judg-
ment, ''for the reason that the court
had no jurisdiction" and because the
squire erred in the exclusion of evi-
dence. The decision is far-reaching
one, as the case involved all patent
medicines which contain such poisons
as morphine. even in small quantities.
