COMMERCIAL NEWS OF TIE WEEK

Hot weather got in its work on the
retail trade the past week like it did
on nearly everything else. However,
everything considered, trade is hold
ing up remarkably well and is the sub.
jeot OF comment. One Of the largest
retail establishments in the city re
ports trade surprisingly good ami
away ahead Of any other year for this
season of the year
The wholesale trade is about the
same, fairly active only. Some Of the
concerns are getting in fall shipments
Of goods and getting ready for the sea-
son that will soon be here. Collec.
lions are fair.
The rain Of yesterday was timely
and very general. Metropolis and
Southern Illinois had fine rain and
Western Kentucky got . fair amount.
The continued hot spell promised
to play havoc with the crops, therefore
the water fall was indeed welcome.
The tripof the Louisville business
men was an interesting event OF the
week. The gentlemen were royalty
received by the local men, and it is
needless TO say that Louisville now
has . very different opinion of Padu-
cab and Psduc.h's commercial inter.
ests than she had before.
Mr. Eagles, Of the furnace company
will be here next week and start the
work of putting the plant in order,
Il will be started, it is thought, some
time about the middle Of September.
Il is the intention Of the owners, how
ever, not to turn . wheel until every
thing is in readiness so that they may

The Servant Question.

Consider now the servant question
I Verify, it is not the men who go forth
( ana grab railroads and factories that
cause the most worry in the heart OF
! man.
Nay. and neither is it the trust nor
the syndicate that ioseth a mans job
, for him and Cutteth his wage i'll two
! that handeth him the greatest bunch
vi sorrow.
| Surely, the servant question is the
one that bringeth the gray hairs and
makcth The wrinkles.
| For the servant goeth abroad in the
land, seeking what she may devour.
She getteth Il job as Il cook and the
! flour bill Soeth up as high as the mon
ument. and the sugar trust dcclareth
dividends every week because she BUY
| eth so much.
She useth more coffee for a family
of TWO than the boss cook of a circus
! takoth for all his men.
She burncth the steak and she bring
eth on the roast when it is scorched
to Il hardwood finish.
she makcth pie that no man can eat
and call his life his own.
And she caSteth biscuits that linger
in the bosom OF the eater thereof.
And when one speaketh to her. that
| she refrain from wasting food and
! that she cook better.
Telling her that it is no longer the
fashion to burn meat and to provide
building brick biscuit.
She lookcth askance at him.
Yea. she looketh at him with cor
ncr of her eye, and she frowneth upon
him.
| And she telleth him to take himself

And that same day he readcth poem
about lovely woman.
And wonderful i'll his heart If the
poet ever saw a cook.
Verify it is greatly to be wished and
much to be desired.
That the time may yet come when
the women and the daughters of women
Will cease from following after the
false gods of literature, and will turn
their backs upon the delights OF the
clubs.
And will no more read papers upon
the soul and the beauty of life,

fewer papers ON the inner conscious

For what kind of an inner conscious

strange happenings ran up against a
new one last Monday night. He had
drifted into a hotel bar for drink and
while standing at the bar an elderly
man, very nicely dressed, and with
every indication of prosperity, II not
wealth, came in and ordered a drink
Of l5-cent whisky, inquiring at the
same time il that brand were not sold
at the rate of two drinks for a quar-
ter. Upon receiving a reply in the
affirmative the old chap produced a
flask, laid down quarter and asked
the bartender to put the other drink In
the bottle to take away with him. The
bartender, dazed, did so without a word
and the incident was closed.
