HOW BUTLER CAUGHT OHIO.
The Grand Gideon Has Promise of a
Congressional Nomination.

Ohio Wilson, the Grand Gideon is
iust back from Washington. He has
been to the fountan-head and com
muned with the powers that be.
And that is why Ohio now looks
wise and says nothing. Though he
knows a-plenty, he's not giving it away
Otho'S not. He's got secrets enough
tucked away beneath his macintosh, but
they are not for promiscuous consump-
ton. Now and then he takes one of 1.-The
faithful aside and tells him Il few
things' the less fortunate have to con-
tent themselves with a secondhand YER
sion of it. With them Ohio has none
of those delightful heart-to-heart talks.
The Gideon's star, so long in eclipse.
Is now rising again. This is due 10 the
fact that he's made up with Butler
or to be more correct, Buffers made up
with him. The foxy Senator had to.
Otho is a large part of the Popullst
party as now constituted and Butler
needed him in his business.
AS Butler remarked in that famous
drive-the-gang- out-of-the State speech,
ga united party is Indispensable If we
would defeat the amendment And
how could there be any unity as long as
the Grand Gideon was out of the fold?
SO Butler forgave nm and took him
back. lit occurred in the Marlborough
House lobby-the making up-during the
meeting of the Populist State committee.
There it was. on a cane-bottom settee,
that the foxy Senator wooed and won
back TO the fold the dashing and daring
Grand Gideon.
How did he do It? Why, by dangling
before the eyes of this abnormally ambi-
tious Gideon a nomination for Congress.
and singing to him a siren song of sue
cess. OF course there's no chance for
Ohio and Butler knows it: but Ohio
doesn't. and hence he bit.
Butler invited him to Washington for
day or two. The Gideon saw him and
ment him two better-stayng four days.
And that's what now makes him so
wild and wise looking.

Our Interest is Yours; Your Interest is Ours.
A Department Store IS where general
stock Under one roof is classified and sub-di-
vided into sections Under separate manage
r1ents. The head Of each department has his
corps Of assistants, and is held responsible for
the buying and selling, the success and progress
made, thereby uniting the best efforts Of the
most competent managers for a common cause,
and largely lifting the heavy load Of personal
responsibility from the mind of the proprietor.
The Department Store Being able to COM
mand large capital, can 60 into the open mar
ket and purchase goods at greater reduced
prices than small dealers, thereby affording a
protection to the public against extortion and
nonopoly-in the sense that competition reg
ulates trade" and holds down the price.
