Lincoln from, the South

The statement has been made that
in Roosevelt the south has a repre-
sentative in the White House more
closely allied to 1t by birth than any
president since John Tyler. What Of
Lincoln? Col. Roosevelt is, indeed,
half Georgian, but Lincoln was either
a North Carolinian or a Kentuc kian,
and full-blooded at that, as both his
father and mother were southern.

Women as Commercial Travellers,

from Buffalo recently. In the course
OF chat with some business acquaint-
ances he expressed the decided opinion
that women make better drummers
than men i'll some lines. "The. fact
is, said he, that in some departments
women seem to be able to do better
than men. Not long ago it was gen
orally believed that a woman could
not sell anything on the road except
books and certain articles of wearing
apparel peculiar to her sex. The oper-
atoms Of the female drummer were for
a long time confined to very limited

*branched out somewhat, and I simply
state an open fact when I say that she
may be regarded as a success on the
road. In some instances she has prov
en- herself a more valuable member
than the men. Take certain lines, like
tea, coffee, spices and things Of that
sort, and in a majority Of instances
she Will place more goods than a man
will IN the same length of time. This
is probably true of these articles be-
cause she can talk more intelligently
about them. They are used in every
home, and the average business won

to keep up with the things needed by
the housewife, and hence the woman

ARE YOU RESPONSIBLE:

When you stand at the counter and
buy anything, you are the dictator.
You say what you want; you .are the
boss. But when you ask for job the
other fellow is the boss.
If workingmen demand and buy only
goods made under conditions fair 10
labor and humanity, buy only
from firms that deserve their patron
age, they could control the entire in
dustrial and commercial question. But
as long as the workingmen continue TO
buy sweatshop, prison made and trust
made goods, just that long will respect
for them be less and the merchants
continue to handle that class of goods.
When on the street corners and in
the meeting rooms you traduce the
manufacturers for employing children
and female labor at less than living
wage, do you ever stop to consider that
it is you yourself who, in purchasing
the product of this class of firms, places
it in their power to compel others to
follow their example, and that you
yourself are responsible for the condi-
ton?
Remember that the Union Label is a
guarantee Of union workingmen and a
living wage. Look for it.

The Chance You Are L0okinx F0r
You can make a $1,000 sure, in a
clean honest way, by investing a, small
sum each month for short time.
Here is our proposition. The Miami
Mining Company owns 5000 feet of right
of way for tunnel through a rich min
Ing country. Owns 1900 feet of tunnel
already built and in operation. Owns
tunnel house, shops, mining machinery
and outfit of cars. Owns twenty min
Ing claims along course of tunnel
(about 80 acres.) Owns valuable rights
and privileges in the form of contracts
and bonds on mines cut by the tunnel.
The Miami Mining Company is al
ready a going concern. It has cut a
dozen veins in it's course. A small in
vestment in Miami will make you big
money. You cannot lose: Every dollar
you send us for stock, is held in trust
for you until you are satisfied.
"Come and see." That is the COM
bination that opens our safe if you are
not satisfied. On demand your money
will be returned with six per cent in
terest.
Should you subscribe to the stock,
will such a demand ever be made? OF
a. certainty we do not know, but so con-
fdent are we of the merit of the invest
ment offered, that we are willing to
take this chance.
