EARLY CLOSING.

The early closing movement on foot
among the merchants and their en-
ployes in Kalispell deserves all en-
enlargement. In discussing this sub
ject trade paper of Spokane has this
to say:
There is constantly growing SEN
timent in favor of Sunday and early
closing on other days growing up
throughout the whole country as the
conviction becomes stronger that
these most beneficial results may be
erected without any serious loss of
trade. This tendency has been es-
pecially noticed during the present
summer, and We believe it is a good
sign. too, for it indicates that mer.
chandising is being elevated and lifted
to higher plane. The midweek half
holiday for retail stores is desirable,
especially during the hot summer
months; 1t should be to the retail
trade what the Saturday half holiday
Is to the wholesale trade. In this

He has had his day of being afraid OF
big game. But that was many years
ago, when he was wee little boy in
short trousers and used to play tag
in Madison square in New York.
Opposite The square on the east
side stood a Presbyterian church, and
the sexton. while airing the building
one Saturday, noticed a small boy

peWs and galleries and bounded off
to play again.
Still the lad kept returning once in
a while and peeping in. When he
went home that day he told his mother
of the sections invitation and his I'M
willingness to accept it.
But why didn't you go in. my
dear?" she asked 1T is the house of
God, but there is no harm in entering
it quietly and looking about"
With some shyness the little fellow
confessed that he was afraid to go in
because the zeal might jump out at
h.m from under a pew or somewhere.
THE zeal? What is the zeal?" the
mother inquired.

connection the following paragraph
from the Ohio Merchant is pertinent.
This is the kind OF weather for
Sunday closing and early closing
other days. Down east they are. in
many of the smaller towns, adopting
| the plan of closing Wednesday or
Thursday afternoons, so that store EN-.
| ployes get in addition to Sunday q
| half holiday each week just as those
of Offices and jobbing houses that
close at noon Saturdays do. Wednes.
day and Thursday are chosen because
retail stores cannot be closed Sat.
urdays. That would give the saloons
too good start in the race for the
weeks wages in some cases. But with
stores the hot and unpleasant places
they are apt to be in this kind of
weather there is not so much to be
said tor the merchant who insists on
keeping his place of business open
seven days in the week land for ten
or more hours at that and there is
little fault to be found with the clerks
who fight that practice"
The merchant has touched upon a
practice that, If it could be made gen.
eral. would be both humane and good
business policy. A merchant is not
SO constituted that he does not need
rest and recreation as well as other
people. There is no reason why the
midWeek half holiday could not be
adopted in all the smaller cities and
towns throughout the country. AS
Saturday is farmer" day. they can
not well close In the afternoon as can
and is done in larger and more metro
politan cities. But IL all agree, one
afternoon could be selected near the
middle Of the week, such as Wednes-
day or Thursday, and every store clos.
ed on that day at least during the hot
summer months. 1t would be a needed
relief to both proprietOrs and clerks:
It would refresh them both in body
and in mind and the advantages to be
derived would more than compensate
for the little time lost 1t means.
therefore, no loss. but a decided gain.
Such suggestions have, however,
met with but slight response in the
past. but we are pleased to note that
the seeds SO patiently sown are at
last beginning to bear some fruit and
we hope that the half holiday move
ment will meet with Still greater "a
vor next year than 1t has during the
past summer and that it's influence
will spread and be felt more in the
west. The first step in such a move
ment is naturally to secure the half
holiday only for the summer months
but 1t should and will not stop here:
as the benefits derived from such a
custom become more fully appreciat-
ed. 1t VIII eventually become perma-
nent institution.
The jobbers OF Spokane have taken
an advance step In connection with
the Saturday early closing movement
OF Wholesale houses. Commencing
on the first of last June It was agreed
among the wholesale and iObbing
houses to close at p. m. during June,
July and August, but the early closing
plan has proved so satisfactory in
every way that spokane jobbers have
unanimously decided to make perma-
nent early closing on Saturdays. We
predict q similar development in the

MElLEN is NO DUMMY.
Removal Of Northern Pacific Men Is
STONED

0tOppeO.
A counter blast to the recent re.
| ports that the first steps of James J.
Hill. after he and J. Pierpont Morgan
| had secured control of the Northern
| would be to obtain the removal of
Charles S. Menen as president of the
Northern Pacific, is contained in a
| dispatch from st. Paul. This says
that Mr.. Morgan has interviewed to
prevent the removal of any more
Northern Pacific officials. This is TAX
en- by railroad men to imply that the
| community of interests simply means
that rates will be maintained, but that
each road will continue to be operated
Just as distinctly as though no such
combination existed
Another evidence that the identity
of each road is to be preserved, and
that President Mellen is just as free
10 compete for business with the Great
Northern as though Mr.. Hill mad no
interest in the Northern Pacific, is
found in his recent action in rep ard t..
train service. The Great Nolthern
put on an additional train between
Spokane and Seattle and thereby cut
down the earnings of the Northern
Pacific on that part OF its traffic about
90 per cent. Mr. Meilen promptly
met this by putting a similar train On
his road, and thus restored the equi-
librium.
Another straw which points the
same way is the announcement that
the Northern Pacific has iacided to
build two great steamships for the Or
lental trade, OF about the same size us
those which the Great Northern is
building at New London, Conn. They
will each carry $4,000 tons, or three
times as much as an average freight
steamer.

A COrnet Perform nance,

In the early part of Queen Victoria's s reign very talented family of the name Of Distin earned considerable fame both in this country and on the continent by their singing and admira- ble performance upon quintet of sax horns. Subsequently the party broke up. and one of the members essayed to start musical instrument shop in Cranbourn street, Leicester square. He was. however. In very indifferent pe- cuniary circumstances, and his ''store" had hardly advanced beyond its four bare walls, which Distin himself was engaged in whitewashlng, when GUS toner arrived and demanded a cornet
 Hastily explaining that his goods were not yet unpacked, but that If bis customer would wait few minutes he would procure him what be wanted, Distin slipped out of the back door and took a cab to a wholesale house In the city, where be obtained on approval a cornet, value 25 shillings. Returning with this, he expatiated upon Its beau ties and to prove them performed mp. on 1t himself so superbly that his GUS toner, convinced that he had here a really exceptional instrument. very readily paid the 10 guineas demanded
 This sum. 1t Is said, enabled Distin to start business which was rapidly successful and eventually sold for a considerable amount.-Good Words.

PHILADELPHIA OIL FIRE.
Five Bremen Killed and Many Per-
 sons Iniured.

Philadelphia. Aug. 21.-The fire in the works of the Atlantic Refining company at Point Breeze, in the south western section of the city, is still burn ing, and Chief Baxter of the city fire department has given up hope of sav- ing any of the company's property. The one hope of the company's officials and the tiremen was in their ability to pump the oil from the tanks not yet reached by the flames into reserve tanks in an isolated section of the yard An explosion last evening carried away the pumping machinery, and nothing remains now apparently but to permit the conhagration to burn until all the oil is consumed.
 It Is believed that the five lives lost in the explosion of the big gasoline tank Monday night completes the list of fatalities. The dead are: John Me Cullon, engine company 49: James Falls, engine company 49; John Daugh- erty. truck company 9; Frank Davis. truck company Q: Alexander Timmers. an employee of the Atlantic Refining company.
 In the explosion which occurred last evening 15 persons were injured seri- ously enough to be taken to the hos pital, and about 10 others were treated on the scene by the ambulance sur geons. It Is estimated that the prop srty loss will reach fully S500,000.

 It was the public press that first gave me a lift as young physician and sur geon, and it was the same power that almost wrought my death in the same fortnight. l had been very fortunate in surgical operation in a charity hos pital in which many people of social standing were interested, and the news papers caught up the talk and gave me a fine send off. Not a week had passed before I received caller who came to consult me about case of cancer of the tongue. It was a sister of his, he said, who was the victim, and his call was to learn how would operate and whether I would be free after o'clock of an evening.
 1t was the fourth night after his call that the summons came. A man whom 1 at once took for a valet came in a cab to tell me that MT. Gray's sister had consented to the operation and I was to go with him at once. Every thing necessary except the surgical in- struments had been provided, and in ten minutes I was riding through the streets of London with him. When we finally stopped after a two mile ride, the street, so far as could make out, was fairly respectable one, and the house we entered was detached and built of brick and stone. took no heed of name plate or number, but fol lowed at the young mans heels and was conducted to a room on the second

Natural Waters.

All natural waters contain greater or less amount of mineral matter in so- lution. Rain water has the smallest percentage of solid impurities of any, and therefore 1t is taken as the stand ard variety of soft water.
 The terms soft and hard, however, as applied to water are scientifically considered purely relative.
 Water Is usually reckoned to be "soft" when it contains less than one flve-thousandth part of it's weight of mineral ingredients and "hard" when 1t contains more than one four-thou- sandth.
 Soft water has the property of easily forming a lather with soap and Is therefore suitable for washing pur- poses, while hard water will only form lather, and that imperfectly, with considerable difficulty.

A Very Curious Plant.

There Is curious plant, said to be a native of Palestine, but which grows freely in England, which Is called Cal vary clover and which in appearance Is like ordinary clover. It Is said that to thrive 1t must be sown on Good Fri. day. The leaves as they appear above the ground have blood red spot on each division of the leaf. which will remain for some weeks. eventually dy. ing away. The three lea f1ets during the day stand in the form of a cross. with the head erect and arms extend ed, but with the setting sun the arms are brought together, and the upper leaf1et bows over them as if in the act of prayer.
 Calvary clover has a yellow flower which in time becomes a little spiral pod covered with sharp thorns and which when ripened distinctly resem- bles .'crown of thorns." 1t Is thus by its blood stained leaves, its extend ed arms and bowed head and by the day when the seed Is sown to await its resurrection that it has gained for it. self the name of Calvary clover.
