THE BARGAIN CRAZE.
Men, 1t Is Alleged, Are as Much In
fected as the Women.

men, 1T rs Alleged, Are as Much In
fected the Women.
''This perennial joke about the love
of women for bargains wearies me"
said bright business woman the other
day. with most presumptuous supe-
riority men charge our sex with an ex-
trayagant zeal for bargains, but l see
enough of business men to assure me
that they are just as eager as women
are to get an article at a few cents less
than the usual price.
''A1r. A is generally extravagant
in his personal expenditures, but he is
keen after bargains. The other day he
came into our office wearing an air of
great satisfaction, and his jubilation
had no other foundation than the dis
coyery of a street stand where sec
onds' in lead pencils were sold at 2
cents each
eff you know a good pencil when
you see it. he explained, you can rum
mage in the pile and pick out 5 and 10
cent pencils at 2 cents each or three
for 5.
And that reminds me of another
bargain. You know the 10 cent cigars
1 smoke? Well, there is a little shop
down near the ferry where you can
get them four for a quarter. just
heard of the place and ran down there
at lunchtime and filed my pockets.
Great bargain
"And would you believe it, that man,
whose transactions run into the mil
lions, went on telling my employer of
bargains in clothes, stationery, etc,
and Mr.. B stopped in the midst OF
his estimates on a big contract to note
addresses and to tell Mr.. A of bar
gains he had discovered in neckwear
and shoes and household supplies.

the bargain hunting disease" New

1t is given out that last years wine
crop of France, if none had been ex-
ported would have given 232 bottles to
each man, woman and child in the

plain that there was enough to keep
the population in state of continued

So Aguinaldo has taken the oath of
allegiance What thrills of anguish
must have been experienced in Boston
upon the receipt of this information
Taking the oath, however, will proba-
bly, not have the effect of securing to
Aguinaldo his immediate liberty. Gen.
Macarthur knows his man. he knows
that Aguinaldo has taken oaths of al
Iegiance before, and has broken them.
Spain paid him round sum of money
for such an oath one time, and Aguin-
aldo kept the faith just long enough to
get his money and make plans for more
trouble. He is trsacherous member

ty certain that Macarthur is not going

There is no poison so highly contagious,

"The samples were all No. 1.

From China also must have come
the stories Of the creation and the

attributed to Assyria, all the arts,

China, and the Garden Of Eden must
have been In China"
Mr.. Burton says that his work with
