While our Stocktaking Sum-
mer Closing Out Sale was a howl
ing success, and our sales exceed

much larger stock than we first
supposed that we had, and we
have determined to close out
the last vestige of our SUMMER

reference to COST or VALUE {!
Both on account of the inability
of a large number of people to

grand slaughter sale until every

tributed among them. Don't

sUPERsTITIoNs ABOUT HOLLY.

Many are the legends and supersti- tiOns connected with the holly. Old authors write of the tree as the hulwer and the holm, while in our old ballads it is nearly always the hollin-trse. It is as the holm that Spensar includes it among the trees that grew in the forest where Una and her gentle knight sought covert" Coles, in his quaint Herbal tells, us that the smaller branches of the holly may be used in decorating houses and churches, and that those of a larger size are very necessary for carters to make whips and for riding rods" and which may seem 9 little strange" to the reader who knows no better, "one of his friends had holly tree growing in his orchard of that bignesse that, being cut down, he caused it to be sawed out in boards, and made himself herewith a coffin, and" if MT.

In Yorkshire, too, they have the beau tiful superstition that Christmas is the one feast of the year in which the fai- ries may rejoice they may hear the Holy Name without having to flee and hide, and they have been heard to join in the carols.

 The centennial anniversary of this interesting historical event ought to be marked by a fitting celebration, and the presidents suggestion has already resulted in a bill which has been pre- sented in the house by MT. Dingley, and in the senate by MT. HOar, mak- ing 8 proper appropriation for the pur- pose, and providing for the appoint ment of congressional committees. The president also appropriately suggests the establishment of a handsome per manent memorial to mark so historical an occasion and to give it more than local recognition" The recomme menda ton should be all that is needed to carry the bill to enactment.-New York Mail and Express.

LEWIS CARROLL'S PREFEREN CE
 FOR LITTLE GIRLS.

Who but Lewis Carroll, either in real life or fiction, would have thought of ministering so thoughtfully to the needs of little girls as a recsnt account of his childhood friendships points out? According to the account he never went down to the beach at the seashOre without a goodly supply of safety pins fer the purpose of pinning up the. skirts of any little girls he might meet who wanted to go in wading. It isn't just the sympathy of this that is so appeal ing; it is that it should express itself in so practical a form. Everybody who has ever been a little girl can r1m e1n- Der the personal affrOnt that most grown-ups seemed to consider it that she should want to go in wading at all. That @ grown-up should not only ap- prove of wading, but that he should ac- tually go so far as to encourage it to the extent of carrying along safety pins, is-well-its like something out of Alice in Wonderland"-tha all.

The Republicans industrial parade yesterday eXcelled those that had pre- ceded it. It took place when the streets wers crowded and formed all interest ing object lesson. The roll papar car ried in the parade would, unrolled, reach nearly from Phoenix to Ash Fork. It was manufactured in the state of Maine and will be distributed in the form of an up-to-Gate newspaper throughout Arizona and the southwest. Now that the paper is in The Repubii- cans warehouse, We don't mind telling how near we came to a catastrophe in connection with it. It was ordered
 in October. and should have arrived about December 1. It was delayed on the road, and only made it's appearance when our stock was completely ex- hausted. Another day, and The Repub- lican would have be:n obliged to resort to the old cylinder press and appear in abbreviated form. Hereafter carloads of roll paper will be shipped from the mills at intervals sufficiently short to prevent embarrassing experiences like the one referred to.

CLEVER LITTLE STORIES.

 A Chicago girl was so thOughtless as to tell friend that at her wedding the names of the donors would not be dis played with the presents. Of course, the friend told. Her wedding came off the other day and the presents were not displayed either. They consisted f of TSP plated spoons and 3S0 salt eel lars.
 The first chapter in a novel recent ly published contained the following: And so the fair girl continued to sit on the sands, gazing upon the briny deep, on whose heaving bosom the tall ships went merily by, freighted-ah, who can tell with how much joy and sorrow. and coal, emigrants, and hopes, and salt ish?'

A NATIONAL ANNIVERSARY.


 The recommendation which Presi- dent Mckinley wrote last in his mes sage, as if to give it additional em- phasis, is one to provide for the fitting celebration, in 1900, Of the centennial anniversary of the fOunding-Cf Of the city of Washington as the permanent capi- tai

In May, 1900, the archives and personal property Of the government were moved from Phila- delphia to Washington. All there WAS of Washington at the beginning of the century was the still unfinished capi- tol, the presidents house, the condi- tion of which reused the housewifely indignation of good Abigail Adams, and a few struggling buildings 1t IGeCrgstOwn.

MAKING COB PIPES.

The cornc-b pipe originated in Mis- souIi, and WAS first made in 1878 by Henry Tibbe, a native of Holland, who operated one of the first corncob pipe factories in the United States. The finest cobs for these pipes come from Missouri by the carload and sell for 25 to 27 cents a busheE The cob for a pipe differs from the ordinary cob, in asmuch as it is larger and more heavily wooded. The cob is first taken in it's rough state and sawed to the proper size and then bored and turned and the pores filled with plaster Of paris. They are then made smooth with sandpaper and given coat of shell3c, after which the pipes are turned over to girls, who adjust the stem. The cane Ussd for the stems comes from the south. Fancy cob pipes go through the same process with a little more wOrk.-Indianapolis Journal

A GOOD MOVE.

| Secretary Of State Hay recommends
 that the department of state be author
 ized to promote consular clerks to be
 consul when they have demonstrate their worthiness by efficient work This is in line with the movement to
 take the consular service out of politics
 It is a practical beginning of a reform
 that may later be given wider scope. If
 may be made to regulate salaries, so l that men of ability may be induced to
 accept appointments at stations in hot
 or otherwise unhealthy climates, where
 the opportunity exists to extend our
 trade It may, in some grades Of the service, be made to insure permanence
 Of employment and systematic promo | ton. It may also require more strict | examination as to fitness than has
 hitherto been the practice of the con- sular bureau.
 Nevertheless, the critics of our con-
 sular service may well be restrained and moderate in their tone. The ser
 vice has improved in earn estness, in character and in the results accom- plished steadily and surely during the
 last twenty years. There have been scandals, it is true. but they have been few and have been conspicuous chiefly because of their rarity As a matter Of fact, the diligence of our consuls and consular agents in making inquiries into ths industries and the markets of the countries where they are stationed, the thoroughness of their reports and the promptness with which those re- ports are circulated by the department of state among manufacturers, mer- chants, shippers and others interested has excited the candid admiration Of English commercial bodies; and the consular service of Great Britain has been called the best in the world. Un- der the present administration the con sular bureau at Washington has made noteworthy and valuable innovation in its daily publication and circulation of the advance sheets of consular re- ports This is a feature of it's work of such practical value that, in connection with the activity of the bureau of American republics, has particularly aroused the emulation of the London foreign office.
 Some striking confirmation Of British opinion upon this subject is given by Robert F. Yates, formerly chairman of the Birmingham chamber of commerce. ! In an interview recently published ill the London Commerce this hard-head- ! ed British man of business remarks that the Americans have gone into for eign trade with an enthusiasm that is shared by the consuls. He declares that the American consuls make themselves more useful to their country than the British do to theirs.
 It is because the average excellence , of cur consular appointments has risen ! in character that any proposed legisla- !. ton designed to strengthen it's ability, ! insure it's continued efficiency and widen it's usefulness to our export trade t deserves support.

A BEAUTIFUL GAME.
A New Swindle Which Has Been Sue
 ceSsful.

! Swindling is as monotonous as ethics
 or mathematics, and the various ways and means resortcd to in the last dec
 ade of the nineteenth century for ob- taining possession of other peoples money were matters of common knowl- edge in the Egypt of Rameses the
 Great. But the Parisian police now af-
 firm that new departure has been
 made on the banks of the Seine And
 this is how it was worked;
 An office was hired in a good busi- ness street by the inventor Of the trick,
 who assumed the title of somebody and company, chemical agents. Being con-
 Vinced advocates of Women's rights, they employed some members of the fair sex, who dressed in the height of fashion, used the most fashionable per fumes. and then visited singly the best apothecaries' shop. One of these fair, false emissaries would stop her cab at the chemists, come in, and, taking out her purse, ask for another bottle of Dr. BetImOnt's elixir. t'Dr. Beaumonts what?" said the young man behind the counter. 'The elixir; don't you krOw?" No, I am afraid l never heard of it. "Oh, how tiresOIne, and my poor rheu- matic husband will be so disappointed. Are you sure it was not here that our servant bought 1t before? NO, madam, it was not here. Where is it sold whole sale?" It is sold wholesale, 1 think and here the lady showed the ticket on the bottle. Tt costs eight francs
 That same day the chemist bought the elixir wholesale. laying in a fair stock of it. and meanwhile many of the conferes were doing likewise. But, as nobody called any more on the Obligfng chemists to buy the elixir, one of the curious confraternity analyZel this sge- cific which was supposed to relieve rheumatics. He found that it was at least perfectly harmless, consisting of water colored by coffee grounds. The police were then let loose upon the la dies and the chemical agents, but they had all moved on, leaving no address. They are said to have netted about l. GOO francs by the trick.-LondOn Tele graph
