out my grocery business TO Msssrs.
Smith Bros, two experienced 81.
Louis retail Rrocers, who come TO
Mexico armed with the best Of ref
erences from the largest and most re-

to their high character and honest,
reliable business qualifications.
In retiring from business ! desire to
thank the public, and especially my
true and tried customers, who have
taken the Only business view in this
matter by retaining q store in the
community that insures reasonable
prices the year round; and the
strongest motive for your retaining
and patrcnizing most literally my sue
cessors, the Messrs. Smith Bros, lies
in the fact that before my selling to
this firm, / had been approached q
number of times by . third party to
sell out to a certain man in the conn
try at cost and carriage, and that IL /
would do this two certain persons,
whose identity most every one can
surmise, and who would have suf-
fered the most at heart and financial
~ had / remained In business a short
time longer. This scheme would like
ly have worked, and on December 10,
next, at the end Of my fret years
lease on my store room, my store
would have been closed, but l have
been trying to sell out to some one
who would continue to cut prices as l
have done in the past, and l was
fortunate to find those men In the
Smith Bros., OF st. Louis, who will be
of i~ncalculable financial help TO you
the year around. / would state, in
the face OF the above effort to get rid
OF me, that you ought to plainly see
there was but one object In view, and
that was to reinstate high uniform
prices again and make slaves Of you.
You will ask what I am selling out
for, with the prosperous and increas-
ing business l have. In answer l will
say: ! never wanted to 20 into busi-
ness, and am positively not able TO
give the attention 1t deserves. In
proof OF this l will be compelled to

my trouble. My wife In the first
place bought the goods and opened
the store, and we desire the public to
thoroughly understand that II is not
on account Of failure to succeed that
vessel as we have more than quad
rupled the amount we started with.
and our business was In q better con
dItion previous and up to the time Of
selling than ever before; but my wife,
who is persistent in her efforts to re-
main in business and over whom I
have no control in thls respect, has
also broken down. I state these facts
for the benefit of those who have
taken the disereditable course of
abusing and incorporating me in
order to succeed themselves, and who
will say now, 81 told you 90" in order
to make you believe that low prices
cannot succeed. We simply have
made q perfect success, and ! com-
mend you to my successors, Smith
Bros, who are perfect gentlemen and
who win continue the business on the
same lines as myself. / thank you
again for your generous patronage.

DIFFERENCE IN BOOTBLACKs
ihe Darktes and Italians Are Like q
Cake Walk and a Watch
Service.

Did you ever notice the difference
between the darby and Italian boot
blacks?" said man about town to a
Chicago Inter Ocean reporter. II say
darkies and Italians, because most of
the shining in Chicago is done by one
or the other. The darkies do the work
in barber shops and shoe stores and the
Italians run most of the 'parlors.'
"Now, you watch darby, and if he's
alone he'll talk to his customer. If
there's two of them they'll chatter to-
gethel like magpies. And the darby is
so full OF music and dance that he's
got to put them into his work. He'll
put in all sorts of fantastic motions
and beat out rude kind of time, ais if
he were picking banjo or cutting a
pigeonwing. When he brushes you he'll
beat you with the whisp broom in the
same way.
go into one Of the italian 'parlors'
and it's as still as grave. There may
be dozen bootblacks, but not one of
them will speak to you or to com
panion. They do their work stead
lily and rapidly, but it's work, and moth
ing else. Same way with their brush
ing you. It's as different as a watch
service from cake walk"

A TRICK FOR HALLOWEEN.
II II Called "Clairvovanceo and
WiN Mystify and En-
fe1tatA

A game that il not entirely new and
yet especially appropriate for Hallow-
cen is known az @elaifvoyance." I:
is especially enjoyable for an evening
OF mystery, because it always proves
mystifying to the uninitiated. Take
some particular person who UNDER
stands the game to play the role of me-
dunn, send her from the room an emp
ty chair being reserved for her next
to the person who is In collision with
her. When she leaves the room some
word is determined upon by the rest of
the party, for instance "horse," and
when the medium returns her task is
to tell what the word is without any
questions. She is summoned, sis down
next to- her friend, and while all present
are seated in a circle, with joined hands,
the one who was in the room, and hence
knows the word, spells it to the me-
dunn by tapping with finger upon the
palm of her hand, the number of taps
being equal to the number of letters in
the alphabet. For instance, eight taps
for Fl, then quite pause; Is taps for
0, etc. When the medium announces
the word successfully, those not know
ing the secret cannot understand it at
all, and it is even more mystifying
when it is explained that it is based
upon some peculiar mental action

TRICKS OF CHOIR SINGERS.
How They Carry on Conversation
While Pretending to Sing
the Service.

One of the English bishops has been
complaining that he notices about
many choir boys and men want of rev.
erence and of attention to the services
that are going on, and he exemplifies
this by saying that the choristers talk
in song and have sort of "voluntarv''
OF their own wherein they drop the
original words and, to sacred music.
chant: II am so hungry; I hope we
shall finish soon."
But this, in reality, is very old COM
PLANT and the average stage manager
is far more afflicted by it than even are
cholrmasters connected with places of
worship. The rows of chorus men and
girls one sees on the stage carry on long
and animated conversations about
everything under the sun, and all to mu-
sic. And all the time they indulge in
the gestures they have been taught as
appropriate to the scene, their thoughts
are really with the themes of their mu-
steal chat, and thus it is that these ges-
lures seem so wooden and artificial.
And it is fact that the great bulk of
the chorus people engagetain the high
est class italian" opera sing any glib
berish they please.

A REAL "SHE" IN AFRICA.
Legendary Queen of the Majaji, Dead
Many Years, but Still
RefGRinG.

Everybody has read Rider Haggard's
famous novel "She." The main figure
of the story certainly lived and died in
the Trarsvaal, according to an English
writer. and not SO many years ago,
either. She" was really Majaji. Only
few years ago there was native dis
turbance up north, beyond the Zout-
pansbcrg range of mountains, in what
was known as Majaji's country. Com
mandant Henning Pretorius, an old
Boer and descendant of President
Pretorius, after whom Pretoria was
called, went up to quell the uprising.
The natives have legendary Queen
Na]aji, who has really been dead for
years, but they pretend, and partially
believe themselves, that she is still
alive, and dwelling in cave in the
mountains, whence she reigns over
them, and issues her behests through
the medicine (mouti) men.
Pretorius demanded to see their
queen. The inunda (chief) of the ma
tives replied: "Show US your govern
ment and we will show you Majaji."
The natives speak of her with awe,
and refer to ''the-wishes-of-Sh e-in-a-
cave"
