cash business, with money usually In
small sums, as few Sof the toys they try
to sell cost over 25 cents. Some go to a
half dollar, but they are the exception.
One of the test novelties sent out early
In the season is a toy called the Columbus
egg. It looks like q small glassscovsr for
flowers, and inside of 1t is a wooden egg
SO arranged that st turns and tumbles
about In a most puzzling manner The
purpose Of the trick is to maxi the egg
stand on its small end in a little hollow
place inside the glass arrangement. It
is q battling trick, and is said to- be taxi
Ing well.
One Puzzle of the Season.
Another novelty on the same order is
-Four Blind Mice, The mice are gunshot
inclosed In a glass tube half an inch In
diameter and two inches long. This Is
divided in half by a piece of wood pierced
;,by four holes just large enough to pass
the shot.
The hole in the middle of the wood leads
into az tube whose circumference is tina
OF the opening, which runs half the length
of the large tube inclosing it. You catch
the mice II you can induce all four to.
drop into the inner tube. 1T is hard to get
even one mouse into its pen, for they
persist in falling through the three holes
that do not lead into the inner tube.
a novelty that is bound to cause much
laughter and some surprise bears the name
OF Shooting Flowers There Is a paper
tube nine inches long and nearly an inch
in diameter. A dozen paper flowers, small
roses, and carnations built on prickly
burrs accompany a tube.
If you want to give your sweetheart a
bouquet or your chu1n a b~outonniere, stuff
a flower, burr end first, Into amend of the
tube: aim the tube at the person you tnE
tend honoring, blow on the end into which
you stuffed the token, and 10! 1t will make
its appearance in all It's glory on corsage
or lapel, where the burr will hold 1t fast.

new ideas is tia Dealers principal worry.
He sits up night trying to think out new
ideas, and if a thing shows itself of merit
he pounces upon it like a hawk. He is
often deceived, n sometimes loses large
sums Of money on things tina look good
to him, but which fail to Impress the
tickle public.
1t is Impossible for a dealer, or the
faker either, for that matter, to tell in adj
vance what the public will do. The thing
taken out on to the street may be an in
Simultaneous hit, or it may be a fiat fail
ure. 1t has first to be tried.
How Novelties Are Tested.
This trial always is intrusted to a good
man who is wise in the business. It takes
him perhaps a day or more to Judge, and
then he reports. IL in his Judgment the
thing is good the streets are forthwith
flooded with them. The takers seem to
spring up out Of the ground with them,
and then the sales begin. In most cases
1t is the children who decide the fate of
the faker's toy andsfaake it a success or
ruin 1t.
These street peddlers are spread over
the entire country, working districts with
which they are more or less familiar.
Some Of them may nave been over the
same territory during the summer In com
pany with a circus or a travelling show, or
they may have worked the region before
and know it to be good.
The main effort, however, is to get into
the big cities. There is where the money
is the freest and the crowds the biggest.
1t is,there that many purchases as the re-
suit of a moments Impulse on the part Of
a buyer are possible, and again the takers
whole stock is taken by a crowd of ceIe-
orators just for the joke Of the thing.
Prices Vary to Suit Trade.
placed, 1t Is the ambition of the
faker to pick out the novelty that almost
sells itself and set it going. If it Is a good
seller then the faker has only to size up
his Grove and charge all he can for his
goods. 1t is his business to make all he
can on each sale, as there is a fixed mar
gin of commission that has to go to the
dealer, Inc all above that goes to the sell
er. It is, therefore, his aim TO see that
the public pays all it can stand.
1t Is estimated that these men in the
ten days before Christmas tame IN not less
than 81, O00,o oo from the public. 1t is all a

The Warfare Of Business.

Business is warfare. It's a hard, con-
slant fight to the finish. Thu moment a
contestant enters the field of
he is challenged by a host Of competitors.
ALI his movements are disputed and on
posed by those already In possession Of the
field. He must fight to live. He must
conquer to succeed. Sc 1t Is that a man
of business is like a soldier of the regi-
ment. AND like the well-trained soldier
VINO delights IN the cIanor or battle, the
enterprising business mar Is eager for the
struggle of competition. He likes the ex-
element OF contending for supremacy. He
delights to overcome those who oppose
him and he finds genuine pleasure in out
whiting his rivals. It is this spirit OF III
valry that sharpens a mans Intellect and
spurs on his energy. And unless a man
is possessed of this desire to overcome. to
surpass, to stand first in his line. he can
never hope to carry the day, he VIII never
succeed in the fight.
Profit, which is the reward OF industry
and ability In business, Is not the sole OBJ
ject and consideration that ~actuates the
really successful man. The love Of gain
cannot inspire him to the highest en-
deayor. There must be something great
.er, something more enduring to call forth
his supreme efforts and satisfy his ambf-
tion. And that something Is the same
spirit that Is possessed by tie men CT war
who 90 into battle 10 do or Ue-who dght

Death OF . Y.uus Priest.

Peter Goemans died Of consumption at

OF God, but would also follow the evange.

apostles in their seIf-denying lives OF
poverty, chastity and obedience. Cset-

which has just shaken up most Of our
stockmen to realize once for all that
alfalfa is good crop for hard winters
and that they ought to have more of it.
Although grain and other crops arc
raised profitably by our farmers and the
yield is large. yet they never did 10 we'll
as since they began to raise alfalfa and
feed it to sheep and cattle on the ranches.
Every year the area sown to alfalfa has
been increased and still every winter the
demand for alfalfa has more than kept
pace with the increased yield. 1t almost
appears as il the business were still In
it's infancy and that as the free range
decreases the business Of feeding will
become more general and that there will
be no limit to it's expansion.
One irrigated acre sown to alfalfa will
produce 10000 pounds Of hay. One acre
in enclosed pasture will produce 500
pounds. One acre Of range will average
a production OF $50 pounds. Or again,
as this paper has said before. one acre
Of irrigated alfalfa will feed ono stee r
400 days. One acre OF enclosed pasture
will feed one steer only twenty days,
while ono acre Of average range will ie, d
one steer but ten days. Putting II in
