A It this season of the year, when busi-

the duties and responsibilities of new

and patrons for the "liherap' patronage
bestowed during the old year. We are
here to say that we are thankful for the
custom but we assure our friends and
patrons that in returning our thanks,
custom does not enter into the matter at
all, because we feel that we should be
written down as ingrateS if we did not
return thanks at the closing of 1897, GUS
tom or custom. During the year many
new friends have been added to our list
in the various branches of our business,
and we are grateful to them and doubly
grateful to the old friends who have been
with us for longer period than during
the past year.
OF COURSE WE DON'T KNOW
What is ahead of us or anybody else /;
but we assure each and every one of our
customers, and any who are not now
our customers, that we shall strive more
earnestly during 1898 than ever before, If
possible, to merit a liberal share OF their
patronage. We will maintain our reputa-
ton of handling the best of everything
in our line, meeting all legitimate compe-
tition, regardless Of the source from which
it may come.
WE DESIRE TO REMARK
That we believe that barrel of Molasses
which we put up on yestesday, is the fin

THE GERMAN POLICE.
Professor Muller Tells story Of His Ex-
perience With Them.

A story which throws light on the Ger
man police system is told by Professor
Muller I'm an article in Cosmopolis The
professor had received through Humboldt,
the scientist, an invitation To call upon
King Frederick William ~. OF course he
intended TO GO but he came very near
failing 10 keep his engagement. 1T came
out OF an unexpected visit from young
lieutenant Of police, who asked many APP
parently unnecessary questions about why
the stranger had come TO Berlin, when he
meant 60 return 10 England and what had
kept him In Berlin SO long.
after had explained TO him, says
Professor Muller, THAT was collating
Sanskrit manuscripts at the royal library
he became more peremptory, and informed
me that the police authorities thought a
fortnight must he amply sufficient for
that purpose-how l wished that 1t had
been so--and that they requested mo to
leave Berlin in "a hours. / explained that
| wanted but another week TO finish my
work, and produced my passport. 1t was
all of no avail | was told that must
leave In "a hours. l then collected my
thoughts and said very quietly to the
young lieutenant:
80 Please 10 tell the police authorities
that / shall, of course, obey orders, and
leave Berlin at once, but that i must re-
quest them to inform his majesty the king
that shall not be able TO dine with him
| tonight at Potsdam.
'1he poor young man thought l was
| laughing at him, but when he saw was
| in earnest he looked thunderstruck, bowed
| and went away. Ii was not long, how
ever before another police official ap
| peared, an elderly gentleman of very pleas
ant manner, who explained TO me how
sorry he was that the young lieutenant
| should have made so foolish mistake
He begged me TO forget what had hap
pened, as it would seriously injure the
young lieutenant prospects II lodged {
complaint against him. i promised t.
| forget, or at ali events not 60 refer In TIT
royal presence to what had happened.
Professor Muller attributes the visit O
the police authorities - the fact that on
of his friends, with 'vhom no had beer
seen almost every IA, was young san
skirt scholar who had been mixed up wit
political intrigues and had long beel
under strict surveillance.
