The agreement for closing the stores
at $50 terminates on the 18th, Every
merchant will no doubt candidly adj
nit that the movement has not lost
them one dollars worth of trade, but

We have always regarded it rs a
nuisance to gallop mile or two to
get a hug or two. A room full of peo-
pie sitting around on sofas huggirg

the old rheumatic brethren another
chance to waltz. Most men waltz not
for the dance but for the position and
while man may lose his appetite for
