real kindness and delicacy Of feeling,

conceal gold as pure as any to be met
with in the solid quartz.

GO TO YOUR NEIGHBOR.
Get Your Groceries From a Grocer
and Don't be Fooled.

The live-but-don't- n't-let-others-live policy
of that all-around nuisance, the depart
ment store, has received setback n
Missouri. That State has departme Mt
store bill for st. Louis, Kansas City,
and st. Joseph, which provides that
stores employing over fifteen persons, in
which more than one class of goods, ,-is
sold, shall be compelled to pay heavy
license tax on each additional class of
goods. Violation of the law incurs q
penalty for each offense, ranging from
one years imprisonment to a fine of not
less than $100, or both.
The law is q righteous one. The de-
partment store has worked on the fa-
nous assumption that ''the people like
to be humbugged," and has been as sug
cessful in it's methods as the inventor oi
that phrase. After it has made reputn..
ton by selling some things for less thNn
cost, it fools buyers in more important
purchases with an easy sang-froid, But
in the words of that unique proverb, 9f
which Lincoln is said to have been tile
author, "You can fool some of the people
all the time, and all of the people some
of the time, but you can't fool all the
people all the time"
the fact that, for example, it is better to
deal with a reputable grocer who knows
his business thoroughly than with the
grocery department Of a price-juggling
department store. Dealing with legit-
Mate dealers in the vicinity of ones
home is, in most cases, a guarantee Of
friendly reciprocity. Pay the grocer
cash, as you are compelled to do to the
department store, and see how well he
can afford to treat you. Do not put your
money in a place where you have no
chance of ever seeing it again, but keep
your money in your own town or your
own district, where it can in turn benefit
your husband or brother. Give the
grocer chance to show the benefit of
his years of experience. Go to yom
neighbor, whom you can rely upon in
the important matters of freshness and
reliability of goods. You can get con
cessions from him which you have no
reason to expect in a department store.
Be an upholder of your own district
it pays. Do not lend your support to
an institution and secure a monopoly Of
food products. You will find that right
treatment of the honest, Woodworking
grocers of your neighborhood will pay
you in your domestic economy, and you
will also be coSsbutor to the general
| weal-which is the ambition of every
| true woman.
That housekeepers are not being
fooled as readily in some places as is
believed by economists is shown by the
| fact that the number Of Legitimate
grocery stores has increased 1877 pet
cent. in Manhattan Borough, New York
City, and 172 per cent. in the Borough
of Brooklyn, since 1890, the period in
which New York department stores have
had their greatest development.-Culin

NOT SURPRISING.

From State Sentinel.
We are not surprised at the Demo-
cratic papers advocating a combination
between their members and the Regular
Republicans at the next General AS
sembly, for the defeat of Mr.. Addicks
for the United States Senate; through
we are surprised that some of the Regu-
lar organs have taken up with the
scheme. 1t is but evident to our minds
that the Democrats would do anything,
or enter into any combination to de-
feat him, and there are a few Regulars
of whom we could expect no more. The
Democrats tried their best before the
election to keep the two factions of the
Republican party apart and to keep them
from uniting on a State ticket. Their
failure to do so was their defeat, and
they now know that with a Republican
party united, the State Of Delaware is
forever lost to them. They are still play
ing that same kind of politics, trusting
that they may still keep the two factions
apart on the Senatorial question, and
with the hope that even yet the factions
may again become divided on State mat
ters. 1t is a desperate game they are
playing, and we are surprised and re-
gret that they should receive encourage
ment from papers CHASING themselves
as Republican.

McGOVERN'S BIG PROFITS.
During 1900 He Earned More Than
Nearly Double McKinley's
Salary.


Terry McGovern, the Brooklyn whirl-
wind, wound up his fistic season of 1900
last Thursday night by defeating Joe
Cans of Baltimore. During the wear
1900 McGovern has earned in the ring
and on the stage nearly double the sal
ary of President Mckinley.
McGovern's share of the gate receipts
and pursus for the fights he has engaged
in since January 1, amounts to $4,000.
Besides he has reviewed nearly $4,000
for his work as an actor. in the play
'The Bowery After Dark" giving exhi.
billions and umpiripg ball games.
McGovern has gone through his many
battles without receiving severe injury
of any kind. He has no cuts, marks or
scars to indicate that he is q champion
pugilist, and his hands are absolutely
perfect.
McGovern is barely OF age, is married
and is the father of two children. He
has bank account, and owns valuable
real estate ia Brooklyn.
On the street McGovern dresses in the
latest fashion, and, barring a predilec-
tion for diamonds, is modest in his at.
tire. He is strictly temperate and fond
OF home life. His wife and children
travel with him on his trips through the
country.
