There may be no question what
ever about your courage, but we'll
undertake to say that, though
you are as brave as a lion, you
won't want to have anything to
do with that kind of a fray.
Trousers and tatters don't make
Just the kind of a combination
that you are hankering after, do
they? Purchasers of Suits or
Trousers will have the advantage
of our Mark Down Prices, and
will not be bothered with any
thing of the sort. They are just
as safe from it as though they
had a paid-up policy of insurance
against any such kind of I'M
pleasantness. If our Suits give
you any hankering at all, they
will give you an ungovernable
hankerning for another one just
like it.

Up. Up, Up.

That's the way the price of almost everything we are compelled to buy is going and the last item we have noticed is taxes. Anyone who has re- ceived their tax bill will tell you all about it; we expected, when consoli- dation of city and town was complet- ed, taxes would be kept within bounds, but, on the contrary, they are going higher and higher, and the dickens, who is a brother to Sprig gins, only knows where they will stop. Wages seem to be the only ar ticle which does not go up. Of course, where the wage-earners band themselves together and insist on higher wages, seven times out of ten they get it and more power to them: may they live long and die happy. Say, did You ever take notice that our tea and coffee is always the same good quality and the price always the same. Of course we had to go up on the price of butter the past few weeks. but that's no fault of ours; you can lay that at the door of the trust. But. thanks be to goodness. the cows are giving more butter than can be cornered and the consequences are lower prices. WE are selling ele- gant butter at 27 cents per pound: if you delight in having nice tasting but ter served at your table just try the kind we sell.

A proof OF the conservative ways Of
the English people .s the name In
which Goals for the household fires
are distributed and stored.
Instead of the American coal cart,
which is loaded in less than 1--WE min
utes from an elevated coal bin. the
American visiting Londcl finds an
ordinary wagon made to carry about
q dozen large bags Of coal, which are
filed one by one at an expense Of
much time and labor, and then lifted
into the vehicle like SO many milk
cans.
When an American coal cart reaches
the houee where its load Is to be
dumped the cart is backed up against
the side of the pavement, the chute
is drawn out like the barrel Of q tele-
scope, and the end inserted in tho
coalhole, in a few minutes the entire
load, with the rush OF water falling
over a small cataract, runs down into
a heap on the floor of the coal cellar.
In London, on the other hand each
bag of coal has to be taken separately
from the wagon and emptied as neal
as may be in the coalhole; and when
the TASK Is at last finished the coal
which has fallen on the pa.cment has
to be laboriously shoveled into the
coal cellar.-Nineteenth Century.

THAT LION-BULL FIGHT.

It seems almost incredible that hui
man beings could sit for an hour and
enjoy q fight between a lion and a bull,
two dumb animals. The reports from
JuareZ, Old Mexico. are revolving in
the extreme. American women paid
from two to five dollars per seat for
the privilege. A dispatch in relation
to the matter says:
1.-The most disgusting feature of the
fight was the fact that the lion a a
tame one and had been raised from a
cub by its owner, A. ]. Morrison of Los
Angeles. Before the fight Morrison
entered the cage and posed with his
hand on his pets a Even after
the beast had been crippled, when its
owner would approach the cage it
would rush to where he was standing
with an appealing look for protection.
When the animal refused to fight his
master beat him with a long club and
goaded him with iron rods. He also
threw an acid on the lion to enrage
him. After the fight had lasted forty
minutes the trumpet was sounded by
the mayors bugler and the mayor ord
cred the fight stopped"

FINANCES.

The estimate Of the British chan
cellOr Of the exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks-Booth, has created more inter,
est than any other document during
the past decade. England is in sore
financial straits and has found it
necessary to levy duties even upon
breadstuffs. Three cents per hundred
weight will be charged against wheat
and nve cents per hundred against
-four. The chancellor figures that this
will not increase the price of bread to
the consumer, as the increase Is SO
triling when considered in the loaf.
Yet 1t is hardly probable the bakers
of Great Britain will feel like losing
the enormous aggregate Of 3l3 100000.
It Ii thought by some that American
farmers and millers will suffer to some
extent because OF this tax. but there is
little probability of this.
The chancellor proposes an increase
Of the income tax by q penny in the
pound, which will increase the income
from this source by 10000 900. This
tax last year yielded STA. 900, 900.
During the same period the death Tor
inheritance) tax yielded 1911, $50 900.
These two sources of revenue are COM
mendable. the tax falling as it does
upon the wealthy classes. America
could pattern to advantage.

purpose Of the government to restock
the Boer farms, in case the present
war negotiations came to a successful
conclusion. War was a costly thing
to wage, said the chancellor, and a
costly thing to terminate. After the
wal was over there would be the great
expense of the relief and resettlement
of the two colonies. and the restocking
of farms. He hoped that, when dur
able peace was made, parliament
would be generous and loan money
for restocking the farms, not only of
those who fought on the British side,
but Of those who had been honest en-
emies nj whom they now hoped to
make friends, and for railroad and
the two states. 1t was his duty not to
take q rosy view of the case, but to
provide for the worst. He had hopes
of a happy result from the conference
in South Africa. but he had put them
aside. Preparations for the continu-
ance Of the war were the best guaran
tee of peace.
The cost of the war during the past
three years was 1925. ITO. 900. and the
British debt is 10 1919 30, 900.

FLAVOR STAMPS TO SUIT.
A Drugcisr. New Way of Pleasing His
Customers.

A Druggists New Way of Pleasing His
Customers.
When a druggist tells about the un-
pleasant features of his business, he
never fails to mention the stamp Gus
toners. They ask to be waited upon
at times when there is more profitable
business in sight, and many of them
demand more attention and take up
more of the druggists time tnan peo-
pie who come to buy fancy articles or
to have prescriptions compounded.
The stamp customer is looked upon as
q nuisance until the rival drug store
becomes a substation Of the postoffice.
Then the druggist begins to realize
that the person who buys a stamp may
want a piece of soap or a toothbrush,
or a bottle of something on which
there Is a druggists modest profit.
Then he often puts a sign in his win
dow by which his neighbors may see
that he carries a full line Of postage
stamps and postal cards. that his di-
rectory Is always at the service of the
public. and that. incidentally, he COM
pounds prescriptions carefully.
One enterprising druggist on the
North Side has introduced a novel fea-
ture in his postage stamp business.
He keeps the stamps in compartments
which have beer favored In various
ways. and when a customer asks for
a stamp he inquiries: What flavor will
you have: lemon, vanilla, wintergreen
or peppermint" The customer usual
ly looks mystified. but ION discovers
that the stamps are really favored.
and the druggist thinks he has hit
upon a way to retain his stamp bust
ness.
