toners. They ask to be waited upon
at times when there IL more profitable
business in sight, and many Of them
demand more attention and take up
more Of the druggists time than people
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 be.
zones a substation Of the postofice.
Then the druggist begins to realize
that the person who buys a stamp may
want u piece of soap or a toothbrush
OF a bottle Of something on which there
Is a druggists modest profit. Then he
often puts a sign in his window by
which his neighbors may see that he
carries a full line Of postage stamps
and postal cards, that his directory Ia
always at the service Of the public
and that incidentally he compounds
prescriptions carefully.
One enterprlsing druggist OH the

a novel feature In his postage stamp
business, says the Chicago Tribune.
He keeps the stamps In compartments
which have been favored In various

General Frederick Funston told In

leader, but 10 still the fallen idol Of

claimed time after time, hardly daring
to believe that he had been captured.
After 1t was all YER he broke down

more than ten acres Of A%guinaldos in
military tactics. The two men cannot

1t is worth noting that farmers along

FRENCH PREMIER POPULAR
THE OUTLOOK PROMISING FOR

Ills Defeat At This Time Would
Amount TO Z National
Calamity.

London, April 27.-Keen interest In
the electoral struggle In France IL
manifest In every political circle in
London. The feeling seems almost
universal that the triumph Of M. Wal
deck Rousseau, the premier, is assur.
ed. Any other result would be- preju-
dicial to the interests OF France, the
interests Of England and the interests
Of all Europe. It is believed that
should the government be overthrow
the republic would enter on a period
Of change and uncertainty, threaten.
ing internal chaos and possibly dis
locating existing international mr.
rangements In a manner that would
more or less disturb every important
European chancellery.
M. Waldeck Rousseau has gained
the genuine admiration of the MAJOR
ity Of Englishmen by his courage,
sanity and stolid indifference to the
gales Of passion that. buster about
him. He IL spoken Of az almost
Anglo-Saxon." It Ia realized that
three years ago the premier found the
country torn with faction and restss@
ed 1t to peace and order. He Is given
credit for having buried the Dreyfus
affair and Englishmen look to him to
keep 1t buried.
Nothing is thought more likely than
that the victory Of the heterogeneous
elements opposed to Waldeck-Ro
seau would revive that scandal In all
It's %virulence to vex France with an
other era OF shameless Jew.baiting.
There Is some fear that the opponents
Of the ministry may storm Paris.
where the fighting will be hardest,
with some degree Of success, but 1t IL
believed that the country at large
will have none Of them. Outside the
capital 1t is thought France is tired
Of disorder and will vote for an op-
portunity to cultivate Its gardens,
tend its vines and till It's fields In
peace.
