Yes, she can see before her the remnant
of pOngee silk, which is selling at only 10
cents a yard. What crowd of excited
women are clustered about the prize.
She forces her way into the thickest Of
the crowd. She is tossed this way and
that. She cares not. Her hat is pulled of
and walked Oh by the half -crazed mob.
She cares not She reaches the counter.
Ten yards only of the silk is left.
Il will take it." she says, just in ad-
vance of four other women, all reaching
for the coverted prize.
The clerk says, 1T is yours" The wo-
man feels for her purse. She has left it at
home.
The other women exult They buy the
pOngee. The wonderful bargain is gone.
The bargain day is over. There will be
no more bargain sales for one week.

The Lost Bargain.

1t is Monday morning. Down the street
hurries a stylishly dressed woman.
Why does she hasten 50? Why that
look of intense excitement in her eyes? Is
she going to the Office of her lawyer, there
to hear the will of her favorite uncle read ?
Or is she Fastening to the bedside of the
dying? No, none of these. She pulls a
newspaper out of her pocket and reads
again the announcement of the wonderful
bargains to be had at the department
store.
She rushes frantically into the store.

THE KISS MUST GO.
Promiscuous Oscillation Placed Un-
der the Ban by w. c. T. u.
Demorest Branch of the Organization
mt New York Declares That Young
Women Kiss In Hope of
Securing Husbands.

Promiscuous osculation is under the
ban. The kissing habit must cease.
The Demorest branch of the w. C. T.
U. at New York has declared against
it. The organization admits of no
compromise. 1t does not urge tenn
perance. 1t breaches prohibition, ac-
cording to its principle. The kiss is
an intoXicant, therefore the kiss. like
the saloon. must go.
This decision was arrived at the 9TH
erafternoon at the regular meeting of
the Demorest unionites at the home of
Mrs. Shirley, AS West Twenty-third
street. The matter came up in con-
nection with the vice crusade, when
DIR. Anna Hatfield interrupted tor
rent of eloquence apropos of the sa-
loon as the source of all evil to prove
that the nectar quaffed from red lips
was more fruitful of consequences
than any alcoholic beverage ever dis
titled.
81 think kissing is the worst thing
a young woman can do" said the doc
tor. "and the amount of bugging and
kissing that some girls-of our best
families, too-submit to is literally a
menace to our morality. l know
young man well who declares that he
rarely leaves a girl without kissing
her goodnight. He says that they
not only eagerly accede to his request
but that several have insisted upon
being kissed.
81 have carefully inquired into the
matter, and find many young wom-
en- imagine this is the way to get hus-
bands. 1t is reprehensible. These are
the supposedly ll-brought-up daugh-
ters of rich parents. The girls must
be taught that it is wrong, not only
to kiss stranger, but to kiss the men
they are engaged to. Too great care
cannot be taken"
81 should suggest that an excellent
and efficient way to stop the impro-
priety," said Miss Thomas. "would be
to instruct the young men in the evils
of kissing"
"But they like it," said one woman,

WEST vIRG1NIA'S OIL QUEEN

West Virginia developments of the

Tyler county field, where her venture

speculative fever.
Her shoe business was not succe ssfu,,,
and she began to dabble in oil. Several
small ventures are said to have netted
her enough to make her confident and
willing to undertake the development
of the most uncertain wildcat" terri
tory in the state. She secured control
of new territory in the upper end of Ty-
Ter county and went into the field for
active operations. Several months ago
she contracted for the drilling of well
on her land. \ series of mishaps pre-
vented the completion of the job until
December 4, when the drill touched
pocket of oil, and small gusher re-
suited. The flow was pretty heavy at
first, but has since settled down TO
about 25O barrels a day, with every
prospect that the output will be main
tained. The strike is the opening
wedge in territory that will prove to
be valuable.
Mrs. lhrig is preparing to put down
other wells just as soon as rigging can
be hauled to her property. The woman

upon which her agents will begin drill

BPADSTREET'S REPORT.

New York, Jan. 11.-Bradstreet's 5
report says: Business is still of be-
tween-season character in most lines
but livening uD of interest in several
trades was noted this week. The best
reports come from the iron and steel
lumber, leather and drug trades. but
there has been the same enlargement
of wholesale distributive trade on
spring account. The spring trade in
dry goods is just opening UP.
A noted heavy spring movement on
orders is new proceeding. Some gain
in wool sales is noted at the eastern
markets, hut weather conditions are
not favorable at the best to business as
a whole except as stimulating the re
tail trade in .'hoes and rubber goods.
A special feature is the generally good
tenor reported as to collections from
which it is inferred that trade returns
to retailers must have been good.
Summed uD briefly, the situation IS
one of widespread confidence in tne
general business outlook.

FOURTEEN POINTS
OF an Advance was Made by Delaware and

By Associated Press.
New York. Jan luxurious buying
of Delaware and Hudson and Ontario

thing like positive dullness. After the
recent high level of speculative excite
ment, traders were unable to disting
uish the tone of the market from dull.
ness, so strong was the contrast and
yet there were many notable advance:
in prices of incortant stocks, and a
scale of trading that would have at
tracted marked attention previous to
last November.
The recent attempt to awaken gener-
al speculation in the southwesterns
comm snsurate With that which occur
red in the other groups was apparently
abandoned today.
The general decline in the buying de
mand led to large selling to take prof
its and except for special points OF
cradle pressure from this selling. A
growing sceptlcism regarding many
confident statements which were circu
lated regarding the coming combina-
tions in the railroad world were fore
most in the motive for selling.
The market showed no acute weak
ness at any time and profit taking was
well absorbed under the sustaining
pcwer of special strength. The absorp-
tion Of Ontario and Western was verv
large and confident and was by brok-
ers credited with acting for a com
manding figure in the anthracite situ-
alton. The increase of 2 per cent in
the yearly dividend on Delaware and
Hudson caught the large short inter-
ests and there were wild fluc-
tuations in the stock Success
sive jumps of half and even
a full point carried the stock up
to 157 after reaction of and up
again to 1891, where it closed. The
net gain wGs thus IA points.
