Europe is curious about America, say
returned travellers of recent date She
wonders what we are going TO do next,
We have gone along mindlng our own
business 50 industriously and nave
grown SO gradually into our present
greatness that 1t has seemed as mat
ter of course to us. This same quiet
ness on our part has deceived other ma
tons, so that we seem TO have come
into our position by something almost
like magic. man who Is natural
lied citizen of the United States, and
who came to this country when old
enough to remember something or his
Impressions, says that to-day the peas
ants of Europe have the same ideas OF
America that the people did in the time
of Columbus. When his parents talked
of coming to America, one strong argu-
ment was that the soil here was so rich
that four crops year could be raised
upon H. Then, too there was the same
old-tme belief that riches were to be
found in the very streets. They came
to America by way Of Glasgow and
there the boy saw for the first time
the great Clydesdale draught horses.
At his home In the Carpathian noun
tains he had seen nothing but the little
mountain ponies and when these mag
nidcent four-footed giants doomed up
before him. his thought was: Eve have
only got 10 Glasgow. If the horses
here are this much bigger than ours.
what must they be In America"
Horses and perhaps some other things,
did not prove to be so much bigger in
America than they were in Scotland.
but nevertheless he had not been a
week out of Castle Garden, before he
longed to start back to his Carpathian
home and take with him the wonder
full things he had already discovered In
this great America. That boy today
is one of the staunchest citizens of
America. Judging from this expert
ence OF his, there is still a great awak-
ening yet to come among the other ma
tons OF the world, when the people
themselves learn to know this great
America for what 1t really is.

to make room for a larger structure.
1t is only nine aud a half stories high,
but when 1t was built people thought
1t a "criminally reckless experiment"
and the upper stories were hard to
rent That was only fifteen years ago
In the interval builders have gone
twenty stories higher; tenants have
moved up with them; nevertheless the
rentals OF upper stories have climbed
proportionately, higher and faster
than either.

Thus say many proplietors Of drug and

man by years Of Intelligent experience
and labor has put upon the market an
article for which he vouches. 1t has
merit. 1t is the standard Of its kind. lt

first rank by intelligent advertising.
Naturally the customer calls for IT, But
the advertiser is despoled Of the legiti-
mate profit Of the sale by substitution.
In most cases the lust as good article
is pushed because it is cheaper or af-
fords greater profit TO the dealer. ii IS
just as well to beware Of substitutes.
Tell the salesman you want what you
called for or you VIII e~+ 1t elsewhere.
In many eases he will be able TO find
the staple article somewhere in his
stock.
