you that our Monday bargain

merchandise at less that whole

cur again in this town for a long
time to come. Therefore, we
frankly say to you, lay in as big
a supply as is consistent with

lowing very special prices.
Read them over carefully.

A Mountain of Sulphur.

The Soufriere, or sulphurous noun
tain. is considered to be the greatest
natural curiosity of st. Lucia, and, in
fact, Of the West Indias. 1t is situated
about half an hours ride from the
town of Soufriere, to which it has
given its name and nearly two miles
to the east of the Pitons, and is at the
foot Of two small hills, both of which
are quite bare Of vegetation on the
sides facing the crater. 1t covers a
space of about three acres, and is crust
ed over with sulphur and alum. There
are several caldrons in perpetual
state Of ebullition. The water is quite
black in the larger ones, but in the
smaller ones 1t Is quite clear. Visitors
never fail to boil some eggs in one of
the smaller caldrons, obtaining them
from one of the creole guides, who
keeps a supply on hand for that pur-
pose.

Indian Repartee.

An Indian agent who was a militia
colonel desired to impress the Indians
with the magnitude of his dignity.
He dressed himself in full uniform,
with his sword by his side, and rising
In the council told them that one rea-
son why the great father had had so
much trouble with his red children
was that he had sent civilians to
them.
"You are warriors" he said, land
when the great father saw me he said,
I will send this man, who Is great
warrior, to my red children, who are
warriors. and they will hear his
words.''
An old chief arose and, surveying
the speaker from head to foot, said
calmly: "Since was small boy /
have heard that white men have great
warriors. l have always wanted to see
one. l have looked upon one, and
now am ready to die."-"Reminis-

Do Ants Plant.

Ants are very Industrious seed col
lectors, and may be seen toiling along
their paths laden with seeds, which
are stored up in granaries in the nest.
IN the clear space round the nest there
is frequently patch or patches Of a
peculiar kind Of grass that produces
seeds that are much sought after by
the ants 1t has been said that the
ants make the clearing. and sow the
seed of this grass on purpose to reap
the crop, but evidence is yet wanting
to show that the grass Is intelligently
sown and not accidentally The fact
remains, however, that on or around
many nests there are crops Of the
grass, and that it Is not destroyed like
other vegetation by the ants.

DOES HONESTY PAY?
A SUBJECT DISCUSSED BY THE JER-
lCHo DEBATING SOCIETY.

PAP Perkins, the Postmaster, Tells
How the Organization Was Started
and How 1t Came to an UntimeIy
and Inglorious End.
Copyright, 1900, by G. B. Lewis.l
The Jericho Debatin society was
Squar Joslyn's idea. 1t dawned on
him one afternoon as he was hoein in
his garden, and that evenin he come
over to the postoffice and made a
speech and started the ball rollin. A
week later the society had it's first
meetin. There was a hot time fur
about an hour. OF the 40 men present
80 wanted to be president, but after
awhile, and by putin in two votes fur
himself, the squar was duly elected.
Deacon Spooner was made referee, and
the other offices wasn't struggled after
to any extent. There wasn't any de-
batin at the first meetin, but Squar
Joslyn made speech of acceptance
which raised the price Of butter in
Jericho 10 cents pound. After sayin
that he wouldn't exchange places with
the president of the United States he
began with the year $50 B. c., and the
way he come whirlin along down to
the year 1900 made the glass in the
windows rattle. He excited the crowd
as he hit Nero, brought applause as he
touched on Columbus, and when he
got through with Washington there
wasn't no holdin Enos Williams, and
Jonas Bebee and Aaron Bradshaw was
in tears. After the speech was over
Elder spooner figgered it up and de-
clared that the squar had made q diff
ferent p'ints in his grafton, which was
four p'ints more than Demosthenes or
Cicero had ever made.

meetin was docs Honesty Pay?" The

read, he thought. Was the whole world
turning topsy turvy and with it his
powers Of comprehension? First,
letter Of acceptance for an invitation
which he had not given, and now this
whitening refusal and the return OF
his poor, despised violets. Well, good
by to his dreams Of love and future
bliss and the castles he had built in
his vain ambition. The disappoint-
ment he would bear so bravely no one
would suspect its existence. But how
explain to Miss Davenport her mis-
take, and, picking up her letter, he
carefully reread it. Her quotation Of
the word accept" was bit strange.
Its blindness suggested his own use Of
the word. What If he had made mis-
take in the letters and Enclosed them In
the wrong envelopes? In that case he
could understand all but his own asi-
nine stupidity. Was ever man in such
box before, engaged by letter to
girl he did not love and refused by the
woman he did love and in way that
left no chance for explanation that he
could see. Perhaps later he might find
a way to enlighten Mabelle as to mat
tiers, but how to explain to Miss Daven-
port without cruelty wounding her
pride and making matters worse? OF
course he must call tonight and take
her to the concert, trusting for some
chance to straighten out this tangle.
John Hobbs never forgot that even
ing, and how he avoided actually com
hitting himself by asking that ques-
ton he presumed he was expected to
ask, but in spite Of his uncomfortable
position and unenviable frame of mind
he found himself enjoying the music,
and could not but notice his compan-
ions attractive face and charm of
manner, and that her well bred COM
posure was enhanced by quiet mod
esty and seriousness of manner to
which he had been blind before.
Somehow John found himself saying
he would call on Sunday evening,
which he did, and really enjoyed the
companionship Of these two refined
women. This call was repeated sew
eral times during the following month,
and still John had not asked the ques-
ton, but on the contrary had begun
to wonder why he had not before no.
ticed the many attractive qualities
Miss Davenport possessed. AS no
word of explanation had passed be-
tween him and Mabelle Whitney, 1t
was useless to anticipate any hope in
this direction.
AS for Mildred Davenport he had
grown to admire the many beautiful
qualities of her womanly sweetness.
AS a daughter she was devoted and
thoughtful, and then the thought grew
In hismind, would shenot make an ideal
wife to the man who should be fortunate
enough to win her? Had he really any
chance, he asked himself, a dozen
times day, and one night soon after
he quietly told Mildred the whole
story, saying, "And' now that my mis-
take has been the means of my find

and not implied.-Boston Post.

Aaron"
Aaron went on. He had 1t that CR-
sar was poor and out of job and dis
couraged when he happened to find a
diamond ring in mudhole. He could
have got an advance of $50 on it at a
pawnbroker's, but he actually went
hungry fur three days while huntin up
the loser. Struck by such display of
sunselfsh honesty, the owner presented
him with SIS, took him under his wing
and in time made him king
That's another tally fur the affirma-
tive" said the deacon, "and guess
I'll give Aaron the same number Of
p'ints as the rest. Alvin Bidwell, Of
the negatives, is hitchin around in an
anxious way, and We'll hear what he's
got to say in favor Of dishonesty"
"Foller me back to the days Of Julius
Cesar" began Alvin in his ramblin
voice, but thar was yells and whoops
and protests from Ebenezer, Jonas and
Aaron.
Its Gurus coincidence, I'll admit"
said the deacon when he could be
heard, "but don't see how we kin
help but foller Alvin back If he insists
upon it. Everybody must have fair
show. Alvin, hadn't you as lief be fol-
Tered back to the garden Of Eden or
Dan'l in the lions den?"
Alvin stuck fur Julius Caesar and
went ahead. He found Julius poor and
discouraged and livin on turnips, and
he related how the young man sat
down and thought 1t all over and then
decided to steal hog. He stole one,
sold him for SO, doubled his money on
boss race and finally made a place
and name for himself. Had he con.
tinued to be honest he would have
starved to death and been buried at the
expense of the town. His dishonesty
enabled him to become king and to do
good to millions.
''The tallies are even SO fur" said the
deacon as Alvin sat down, land We'll
now hear from Philetus Johnson on the
affirmative side'
"Foller me back to the days Of Julius
Caesar" began Philetus as he rose I'D,
and then thar was row. 1t was q
full ten minits before order was re-
stored, and durin that time most ey-
erybody got his head punched at least
once and his coat torn up the back.
BY and by Deacon Spooner said:
Its shame and disgrace to the
town Of Jericho to carry on in this
way. | notice that Lish Billings, who
don't belong on either side, has jest
come in. Lish. do you want to say
anything?"

looked around. I'D simply like to ask
If anybody here has lost this half dol
lar"
He held up the coin in his fingers.
There was Al men in the room, and
every single one Of 'em, includin the
deacon and the squar. replied that 1t
was his.
"As to the Debatin society, it may
be good thing" said Lish as a grin
spread over his face; "but, as to the
subject of discussion tonight, 1 guess
you'd better drop 1t and let it stay
dropped. This half dollar has bin in
my pocket fur two weeks, and every
one of you was willin to lie to git hold
of it,"
Then Lish moved softly down stairs
and went home, and after the rest of
the crowd had sat and looked at each
other fur two or three minits in an
uncomfortable way the president put
on his hat and said:

number on the affirmative and negative
side was about even, and Ebenezer
White was appointed to lead off and
tell how honesty paid him. Each
speaker was to be limited to ten min
its. Ebenezer had been thinkin it
over fur three or four days, and when
he got up he began with:
"Foller me back to the days Of julius
Caesar. When Caesar was young man
of %, he hadn't dollar to his name
and no show to strike a job. He had
about made up his mind to commit
suicide when he found a five dollar
goldpiece in the road. His first thought
was to use the money to start in bust
ness, but it was only a temptation.
His honesty wouldn't permit such a
thing. He went around inquirin who
had lost S., and at length found the
owner, and the owner took likin to
him and pushed him along until he was
finally made king"
THAT'S one tally mark fur the affirm
alive side" said the deacon as the
speaker sat down, "and I decide that
Ebenezer has made five p'ints. We
will now hear from Jonas Bebee on
the negative SIDE"
"Foller me back to the days of Julius
Cesar" began Jonas as he rose up.

in follered me back, the meetin can't

II shall have to overrule the objec-
tion," said the deacon. 1--WE follered
Ebenezer back, and we must give Jo-
mas jest as good a show. If he's got
anything new about julius Caesar. we'd
, like to hear it,
when Caesar was young man of

continued Jonas, "and. though he Of
! fered to dig out stumps fur Is cents a
day, he couldn't hit job. He had
made up his mind to hang himself
when he found stray mewl in the
woods He knew he ought to advertise
the mewl and restore him to his owner,
but dishonesty carried the day. He
sold the critter to the first man who
would buy. and with the S12 he re-
ceived he went into politics and pushed
along until he finally became one of the
greatest men of his time. He lived

The deacon said the speakin had best

side, fur his argument.

Caesar" began Aaron. with wave of
his hand. but when he had got that fur
both Ebenezer and Jonas tried to yell
him down and appeal to the referee.

replied the deacon. IF he wants to be
