Two Pointed Questions Answered.


What is the use Of making a
better article than your competi.
tor if you can not get a better
price for it
Ans.-As there is no difference
in the price the public will buy
only the better, so that while our
profits may be smaller on a single
sale they will be much greater in
the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best ?
If both articles are brought pro-
minently before the public both
are certain to be tried and the
public will be very quickly pass
judgment on them and use only
the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The people have been using it for
years and have found that it can
always be depended upon. They
may occasionally take up with
some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are
certain to return to the one reme-
dy that they know to be reliable,
and for coughs, cold and Group
there is nothing equal to Cham
berlsin's Cough Remedy. For
sale by all dealers. Benson,

Ladies' Made . success OF Luau and

The fair on the st. Louis Col

a greater success than the promot-
ers thought for. Most of the peo-
pie were present in the afternoon
but even at night, there were a
large number of people present.
The luau was held in beauti.
fully decorated lanai where a
dozen or more tables on which
were scattered flowers and ferns,
were set with dishes calculated to
please the palates of the Hawai-
ians.
The booths of the fair we're
ranged about the concert hall at
the rear part of the grounds. Be-
hind each table sat young lady
ready to dispose of the many arti-
cles that had been brought in to
help along the work of the church.
On the verauda of the main
schoolbuilding were tables where
ice cream and cake were served
and, almost opposite this place, on
the other side of tho roadway
were the flower stands where 6
number of ladies gathered in the
quarters as fast as they could
hand out the leis and boutonniers
The grounds, kindly loaned fol
the occasion, were thrown open
for the guests who might &c
wherever they felt disposed,
1t was about $50 o'clock that
the fair broke up.
Mrs. w. l.. Wilcox had charge
of the whole affair. The promi
nent ladies of the church were
most able assistants. There was
nothing left undone and each one
performed her part we'll.

DIARIES AND RESOLUTIONS.
They Begin Todny-Stntfstics Needed
to Show Their Lasting Qualities.

Among the numerous things for which
the LIST of Januery is significant are the
faithful commencement on the part Of
young persons to keep diaries and the
equally faithful swearing off of habits
evil and otherwi e, by individuals Of all
ages, classes, colcrs and conditions. If sta
tisticS could be secured of the figures in
the past it would doubtless be proven be-
ycnd question that about the same percen-
tage of diaries were kept as there was of
good resolutions, and that in both cases
the average was exceedingly small. \ New
Year diary usually begins to show attacks
Of intermittent forgetfulness about the
middle of February, and incurs chronic
trouble of this sort by the latter part of
March. Good resolutions may linger a lit
tie longer, but May 30 finds the majority
Of them fiattened out like pancakes and
with as little resemblance to their original
selves as pancakes are after Shrove Tues
day appetite has run counter to the cook
There vas man once who swore off
regularly every New Year day from all
forms of liquor, but along in the fall when
the frost was beginning to get in it's work
on floral nature the native hue of his an
nual resolution would become Scklied Ger
with the pale cast of booze and he would
sing a fav0rite ditty which contained,
among other entertaining verses, the fol-
lowing:
"Leaves hev their times TO fall an so hev l.
TIL tibet falls is both gifts dry;
TIL ony difrunce twiX TIL leaves an me
Is falls harder. an mo frequentlee!'
This year the man has taken a new tack
en- the matter of swearing off. This morn
ing he met a StaI reporter, who asked him
il he had followed his annual custom. For
reply he handed the reporter the following
'As sure as New Years day has come since 1883

gously.

questions BEING Considered ut the
Navy Department..

1t is ascertained at the Navy Department
that the decision of the patent Office ex-
perts in regard TO patents for Harveyized
armor plate may result in the Withholding
OF further payments of royalties on plate
furnished by the large steel companies The
question submitted by Secretary Long to
the patent office was whether the employ
ment Of temperature above that of
molten east iron is an essential feature of
the Harvey patents. and the experts
reached conclusion that such heat is not
an essential feature of the device
The Navy Department armor-plate ex-
pertS are of the opinion that the highest
temperature Is not essential TO the obtain
ing of the most satisfactory face-hardened
plates. The use of temperature not quite
so high that covered by the Harvey
process therefore, is not regarded as an
infringement of the Harvey patents The
Harvey patent is said to be subject to
many limitations which are not really es-
sential 10 the finished production.
1t Is said the officials OF the Navy De-
partnlcnt are considering the advisability
OF institutinS proceedings for the recovery
OF about $4,000 paid as royalties on the
