BOILER LET GO.
LOGON olive Explosion In Heart
Of St. Marys Killed Two and
Shook the Town.

Wapakoneta, o., Feb. 1O.-While
freight engine No. 122 was just pulling
out east for Lima with the Sunday
local on the Lake Erie & Western rail-
road at st. Marys, the boiler exploded
with terrific force that shook the whole
town, many believing that genuine
earthquake had occurred. The explo-
sion occurred shortly after noon at the
Wayne street crossing, just east OF tho
depot.
Charles Brown, the fireman, of Lima,
was thrown up over the electric light
wires and almost instantly killed.
Frank Casey, the engineer, of Mdncie,
Ind. was thrown almost across the
street, and SO badly scalded that he
died soon afterward. A. B. Devore of
st. Marys, the watchman at the cross
ing, was badly cut and scalded and may
not recover Several others were cut
by flying pieces. The engine and sew
eral cars were totally wrecked

we give YOU JUST
What YOU ASK FOR. +"
A Short Sermon on the Dishonest Prac-
tlce Of Substitution" by Shop
Keepers.
New York Journal.)

(New York Journal)
outside the drug store-the store
" of j. Milhau's Son, at No. 1873
Broadway-you may read the an
nouncement at the head of this col
umn, 1--WE give you just what you ask
for"
We are glad to seize upon this oc-
casion to pay tribute to this motto,
and incidentally, to point out a dis
honest and very common practice
among merchants-that of substituting
one article for another.
One business man devotes all his
energy, his money and his time to
building up the reputation of a GER
tain article. He enables the retailer
to make large profit( and he spends
his money that customers may be plen-
tiful.
When customer asks for the article
in question It is dishonest to say to
him, as many do: Don't buy that.
We have something else just as good
and much cheaper"
II the merchant has something good
and cheap Of his own, let him sell 1t
to his customers by all means. But
let him not steal the trade of a man
whose energy helps to build up his bus
mess. Let him not divert to his own
pocket all of the profit which he ought
to in honesty share with another.
There are wares that are made enor-
mously profitable to the retailer sim
ply because men push their business
with intelligence and perseverance. 1t
is ungrateful as well as dishonest for
the sake of little extra profit to cut
into the legitimate business of the ad-
vertising manufacturer.
incidentally the public, as well as the
storekeeper and the manufacturer, are
interested in this question of substi-
tuting one article for another.
That which is represented as lust
as good" is usually not just as good,
but very far from 1t.
If a man has spent a million dollars
building up the reputation of a GER
tain article, 1t is to his advantage to
keep up the quality of the material
which enters into the manufacture Of
that article. His profit is large IL he
is honestly treated, and it would be
suicide for him to use inferior material
for the sake of little extra money
The man who makes up an imitation
article and announces it as lust rs
good" has no such sum at stake. He
has invested nothing. He has no val
liable name to ruin, and it is to his
interest to make the 'just as good" ar
ticle just as cheap as he can make It.
The buyer should remember these
facts and put his confidence in that
retailer who, like the man quoted at
the head Of this article, gives to the
customer Just what he asks for, treats
the wholesaler honestly, and shows
gratitude for the energy which builds
up q successful business and makes
the retailer prosperous.

Terrible Holocaust at St.
Louis--Big Blaze at
Paterson,

st. Louis, Feb. 10.-At an early hour
Sunday morning fire which destroyed
the Empire hotel, a large three story
lodging house at Nos. 200 and 2702
Olive street, occupied by men exclu-
sively, caused the death of eleven per-
sons, ten men and one woman, and
dangerously injured eight others
Three or more who had narrow es-
capes from death were more or less
injured by being frost bitten.
1t is estimated that there were be-
tween 25 and 40 persons in the build
ing Saturday night, and It is believed
all have been accounted for. The
financial loss is nominal 1t is thought
that $4,000 will cover the damage to
building and contents, which were to-
tally destroyed.
Paterson, N. j. Feb. 10.-A great fire
swept through Paterson Sunday and
in it's desolate wake are the embers and
ashes Of property valued in the prelimi-
nary estimate at $10,00O,000
1t burned its way through the bus
mess section of the city. and claimed
as its own a majority of the finer
structures devoted to commercial, civic,
educational. and religious use, az well
az scores of houses.
The fire came at midnight aad was
only checked after desperate fight
that lasted until late yesterday after
noon. Every city and town within
reach of Paterson sent firemen and ap-
paratus to the relief of the threatened
city, and 1t took the united efforts of
them all to win the battle.

SEEM TO BE FOR TAYLER.
(Wellsville Record.)

The Democratic newspapers of the
Eighteenth congressional district and
Republican statesmen in Mahoning and
Stark counties are making their usual
plans to defeat the Hon. r. w. Tay-
Ter for congress. If the Salem Herald
don't watch out 1t will wear out all
its poster type in heading up articles
about tho defeat of Tayler. An effort
was made to put the Hon. r. w. out
of business two years ago but 1t fail
ed. These anti,Tayler schemes furnish
amusement for the Republicans of the
district so the time and money and
energy spent upon them are not en-
tirely wasted. But some people do like
to spend money for the amusement Of
their neighbors.
Hooray for r. w.

In Memory of Lincoln.

Abraham Lincoln: Born, February
IL, 1909; died, April Is, 1865.
why does not the American public
observe-or at least remember--Lin-
coins birthday? We celebrate the
birthday of Washington; we have just
offered tribute to the memory of Nc
Kinley. Yet Lincoln, the most heroic
figure in the galaxy of American presi-
dents. is passed by with scarcely a ref
erence.
The youth of the land at least should
be taught to revere the memory of the
war president.
Let there be revival of the observ-
ance of Lincoln's birthday.
