DEALING

We charge just what
the drugs are worth. Size
of bottle has nothing to
do with cost. A small
quantity of one drug may
be expensive, while a big
lot of another drug may
cost next to nothing.
Leave that to us. 1t
sounds conceited for us
to say that you can trust
us; but we know that you
can, because we know
that we charge only what
is right, according to the
exact cost of the drugs

He stole a trunk containing some val uable furs. The doctors at the prison said the man had consumption. and President Roosevelt pardoned the man that he might go home to die.

 New York is wondering whether or not there is 10 be a change in the Sun day saloon laws.

The 'Haiue-; law" so well known. is the law only in name, a mere club for police biao k mails. Exactly what proportion Of th- people favor sunday opening oL liquor selling places, how ever, il is hard 10 tell. Almost every sunday sermons against the idea are preached. al though TOW and then ministers aye heard urging more freedom.

BOTH IN THE SAME FIX.

Let me tell you an amusing story about two of the big men ot Kansas" said an old timer yesterday. after read ing an item about the swell wedding of George R. Pecks daughter in Chicago. Many years ago. when Albert H Horton and George R. Peck were hay ing hard time to keep the wolf from their doors. they happened to meet in New York city. where both had gone on business. Horton had just SIS and his transportation home. He had paid his hotel bill and felt that by close fig urirG he could pay his Pullman fare and get his meals on the long journey back to Kansas.
 Hello. Horton said Peck, I'm mighty glad to see you. Haven't seen q man knew since coming to town. Been looking everywhere. Let's go down to Delmonico's and have lunch.
 This suited Horton. though it strucll him @ls little surprise that Peck should be flying so high. and the pair made their way to New York's great restaurant. There Peck ordered a meal fit for a millionaire. It came to $2G1 15

The report Of the commission recently sent to the secretary of war shows thai no5ernizsd system Of fire alarms has just been installed in Ma niIG. and the present appointment seems to indicated an intention to mod ernize the whole fire system Of the city, and Of the other cities of the islands.
 Hugh Bonner was for quarter of d century connected with the New York fire department. being during many of those years, chief.
