FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1899.

No great victory is ever won
with a preliminary skirmish. 1t
takes patience, courage and time to
rout an entrenched enemy. The
people are now INDUCING the in

with the first attack, but the
campaign is on, nor will the masses
stack their guns until the enemy
succumbs.-Austin Salesman.

PLEASED THE DRIVER.
The stout Lady Was Less Burden to Him When She Was
 Least Obliging.

One of the most delightful women in New York Is one who discarded her waist line years ago. She Is built on the order of the tub, but she has a genial and accommodate ing disposition and laughs heartily when she tells this story on herself:
 She had been to the Catsklls for few weeks, staying at one of those mountain top houses that 1t takes you four hours to drive up to and h.Jf an hour to come down from. She was met at the nearest railway station, she and ha* dozen others, by stage that set oil up the mountain road. It was hot and the stout lady had kind heart. She pitied the horses and as the road grew sleeper she volunteered to get out and walk. The driver helped her down and she trudged along as far as she could. Then she was helped into the stage again and at the next steep grade she insisted 6n being helped out. She had returned to the carriage another time, when they came to still sleeper stretch of road way. The stout lady was just too tired to walk another step.
 Well" she said, '''I'm not going to get out again. I'm too tired"
 The driver turned to her with look of gratitude.
 That's all right" he said "Set still. I'd lot rather haul you than heft you in and out so often"
 And he hauled her to the very steps of the hotel.-N. Y. Sun.

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FREE.
One of the Grandest offer. Ever Made.

The first five persons procuring the Endless Chain Starch Book from their grocer will each obtain one large 10c package of Red Cross" starch, one large 10c package of "HUBINGER'S BEST" starch, two Shakespeare pictures, printed in twelve beautiful colors, as natural as life, or one Twentieth Gen. tury Girl Calendar, the finest of its kind everprinted, all absolutely free. All oth- CTS procuring the Endless Chain Starch Book will obtain from their grocer two large 10c packages of starch for 5c, and the beautiful premiums, which are be- ing given away. This offer is only made for short time to further introduce the famous RED CROSS" starch, and the celebrated .'HUBINGER'S BEST" cold-water starch. RED CROSS" laun- dry starch is something entirely new and is without doubt the greatest inven- tion of the Twentieth Century. It has no equal, and surpasses all others. It has won for itself praise from all parts of the United States. It has super seded everything heretofore used, or known to science in the laundry art u, and is chemically prepared upon scien- tific principles, by J. C. Hubinger, an expert in the laundry profession, who has had 25 years of practical experience in fancy laundering, and who is the first successful and original invento tor of all fine grades of starch in the United States. If you would have the best, ask for "RED CROSS" and "HUBINGER'S BEST," which are the finest starches on the market to-day. The jobbing houses all handle it, the retail grocer has it on his shelves, you find it in all the homes, while the careful house. wife has adorned the walls of the home with the beautiful Shakespeare pie lures, which are being given away in introducing "RED CROSS' and .HU- BINGER'S BEST" starch.
