The Graphic is adding many new
subscribers daily as result of the
boycott. One of the leading citizens
said: Il have never taken the Graph

have expressed themselves in the same
way as the gentleman quoted.
Mr. C. NJ. Ferguson. one of the chief
spokesman of the bovcotters, says
that it is none of the Graphic's bust
ness as to the price at which the re-
tailers sell any article. Perhaps Mr..
lies business as to the price at which
any article is sold. but as the public
has to put up the money the public
feels that it is interested in the matter,
and whatever is of concern to the
public is of concern to the
Graphic The Graphic is not publish
ed to merely truckIe to any class Of
people for a little patronage. 1t takes
a broader and more honorable view
of the mission of a newspaper.
One of the boycotters said to the
ton on the part of the people by such
articles as the one you had about the
reailer's profits On coal oil; for the
people are always ready to grab at
everything possible as an excuse to
kick" The Graphic thought it was
time for the people to kick, and it
showed them wherein they had good
excuse to kick 1t is because of the
business of the kick that makes the
boycotters squirm.
The Graphic regrets that the boy
cotters won't now get to read the in

RIDING cAMELS OF ARABIANS.
They Can Endure Much and Carry
 Heavy Loads.

As we have racers and cart horses, so the Arabs have breeds of camels severally adapted for riding and for carrying burdens. It is to the fast riding and racing camels that the name drOmedary alone applies, so that the term the Greek equivalent of ''raeer"- indicates merely breed and not a particular species.
 All the camels of Arabia and Africa, as we'll as those employed in India, belong to the same hump species, which is lightly built and long limbed animal in compar- ison with it's double bumped rela- tive, the Bactrian camel of central Asia, says the London Illustrated News. Not improbably some of the herds of the latter species which are found in the neighbor- hood of the Gobi desert are de scendants of aboriginally wild an imals, but the Arabian camel is quite unknown in the wild state and We are even ignorant of it's birthplace, although it is quite likely that this may have been North Africa or the neighborhood of the Arabian desert.
 For trayersing desert tracts camels are absolutely 'indispensa- ble and for this purpose they have been introducedinto Australia and Arizona, where some of them have run wild. Their broad, cushion like hoofs proclaim them essen tially animals of the desert, and camel is absolutely helpless on a wet and slippery inclined road. As if conscious that man cannot do without them camels are some of the worst tempered and ill-na- tured brutes in creation, and, save for their endurance and the heavy loads they can carry, no one has q good word to say in their favor. If a camel can bite a mounted passen- ger whom he may be passing in a narrow road he will never fail to avail himself of the opportunity and the bubbling noise made by "mast" camel at night will de stroy the rest of an entiye camp.

 parent.

Maitre Labori, the noted French advo- cate who defended the Humberts, IS not remarkable in Paris so much for the elo- quence as for the neatness and the polish of his speeches.
 An American journalist heard Labori in court one day. He says the advocates s address was full of grace, wit, tenderness He quotes a passage relating to old age wherein Labori, with a smile, said:
 "Old age-we shall none of us quite un- derstand that until we have attained to it flor no one of us, here, IS old. But tue other day 1 visited my uncle, d very aged man.
 What IS it like, uncle,' l said, to be old?'
 And my uncle answered;
 It is like this When one is young, ones polite attentions to women are taken for declarations of love; but when one is old, ones declarations of love are taken for polite attentions

CHAIN OF SUGGESTION.
One Barber After the Other Had sz Idea to offer the PertinaciOus
 Customer.

"A man up in my country he'd a melan- cholly experience, declared Senator Frye, of Maine. This man determined to get a shave every other day and to let every barber cut his hair who suggested it. At the end of week three different barbers had intmated that the hair need ed trimming and were told to go ahead and trim As the hair was now beyond the trimming stage, the fourth barber advice, that clipping would be beneficial was accepted. Now thought the man, the next barbar will be satisfied that when l say shave 1 mean shave and nothing more. Yet when the fifth barber mentioned 'singeing he permitted his close. ly-cropped hair to be singed. The sixth night was on Saturday. He went to still another barber, now satisfied that when he said shave no barber would have the temerity to hint at an attempt to reduce the length of his hair
 Did you ever try Dr. Concepts hair restorer? questioned the barber as he took up bottle.
 The Indians had a quicker way of get ting at mans scalp than these barbers," :" commented Senator Chandler

MONKEY DISCIPLINE.
Mother Gives Youngster Good Spank
 ing in Approved Style.

One of the monkey cages in the New York Zoo" contains a mother monkey and her baby. Some visitors one day gave the mother a chocolate peppermint. She tasted it, smacked her lips. winked, and put it all into her mouth-only to remove it al once. and smack and wink much harder. After a second she repeated her experiment, and again hastily re- moved the peppermint, says the Youths Companion.
 Once more she put the dainty in her mouth, but once more she took it out. Then, with watery eyes. she laid the candy carefully on the ledge of her cage, turned her back. walked over to the opposite side. seized the rails with both hands. and gazed out as if she had never seeh peppermint.
 Meanwhile the baby, who had been engaged with visitors in q corner, had returned to the front. Seeing the peppermint, he picked it up and tasted it. But his moth. er's three experiments had left only nibble for him. That dis. posed of, he, too, walked to the on. posite side, seized the rails, and stood gazing out with the same air of utter absorption as his moth. CTS.
 As soon as the latter had cooled down she came back again, and looked for the peppermint. Not seeing it, she swept with one paw all along the ledge where she had left it, but in vain. Suddenly she ran to the baby, and twisting his head to face herself, put one hand one each side of his jaws, pulled his mouth wide open, stuck her head in, and gave big sniff. Then she turned him over and spanked him soundly.

THE "DO ANYTHING" MAN.

 Use at All.


 Use at All.
 My first visit to the bank is d most vivid memory, says a bank cashier, in Eyerybody's.
 Well, my boy" began my un- cle, what do you want to do?"
 "Oh, anything" I blurted with the cheerful stupidity of boyhood. My boy" he said slowly, "let me tell you that the hardest man Tn the world to find work for is the man who says that he can do anything or is willing to do any thing. Usually he is the man who can't do a thing.
 "Now, you ought to have sense enough to know that you can't do anything, l don't believe. either, that you are as stupid as your father thinks, and l am going to give you a chance to prove that I am right. If you are good for any thing, we shall soon find it out; and if you are good for nothing, We shall soon find that out, too.' l have never forgotten that brief conversation. The "old man" has long since passed away, but even nowadays when the do anything" chap presents himself with d letter of introduction, l think of my uncle long enough to bear witness to the truth and force of his view.

A POOL OF DRUMFISH.
Big Fish Placed on Exhibition in
 New York Aquarium.

Big Fish Placed on Exhibition in
 New York Aquarium.
 People with a fancy for big fish will be interested in the drumfish HOW on exhibition in one of the pools at the New York aquarium. There are seven of them here, ranging in length from 33 to feet and in weight from 50 to 50 pounds.
 The drumfish attain a weight of 100 pounds, but 50 and 60 pound CTS are big fish, nevertheless, and these specimens seen close at hand, as they are, look their size and weight. These drumfsh were taken in Sandy Hook bay and brought to the city in fish car in tow of tug.
 There have been placed in the pool with the drumfish, says the New York Sun, a lot of small sharks, including nine sand sharks and one little blue shark which previously had been installed in the great central pool. The sand sharks are of about the same length as the drumfsh, but with their more slender bodies they look much smaller.
 The little blue shark here, which is something of a rarity in these waters, is about two feet long. The blue shark, which fishermen hereabouts callthe Spanish shark, is common in tropical waters, where 1t grows to be from 12 to 15 feet in length and to weigh from GOO to 800 pounds. The blue shark has sawshaped teeth, instead of teeth like horseshoe nails turned inward, such as the sand shark has.
 Only occasionally does d little blue shark get as far north as this, and but rarely big one. This lit tie fellow was taken where the sandsharks in the pool were ob- tained, in Grayesend bay.

phe Germ Theory.

The discovery of the germ theory is per- haps the most important in the history of medicine, the discovery of the stomach of course excepted.
 Exhaustive experiments on guinea pigs have made 1t clear that mankind cannot be well without serums.
 But such IS the character of serums that nobody will take them unless he Is frightened.
 And the germ theory has thrown more seares into more people than all other theories put together.
 Thus it IS not easy to see how we should manage to have any health to speak of, without the germ theory-Puck

One pretty model shows the plain effect
OF the skirt broken with folds and the
same idea carried out in the shirt waist.
The costume is made of white taffeta
thickly sprinked with rain drops in black.
The skirt is plain over the hips and fits
snugly. Below the hip line there are five
stitched folds introduced at intervals, and
the skirt is finished with a flounce which
is much deeper in the back than the front.
Three wide folds trim the front of the
shirt waist. and the sleeve is small
bishop with tucks toward the shoulder.
With a suit of this sort, it is quite the
smart thing to wear a narrow belt of the
same silk as the dress, and to have the
collar also Of silk, pre- eferably stock with
two button trimmed: tab ends This same
model is also extremely chic and pretty
in a very fine green and white, check taf-
feta.. with the folds 5piped with white and
stitched in green. .. - .~ %.
Silk shrt-waist:suits In two tones of the
same color are good style, especially when
they are made up in striped taffeta. A
shirt-waist suit which is in good taste
is made OF delicate gray taffeta silk with a
rather broad stripe in much darker
shade of gray. The shirt waist of this
suit shows full blouse made with tab
shaped strap over the shoulders finished
with a fine white silk cord pendant trim
ming. This same ball trimming is also
introduced dangling from the silk stock.
Then, there are the shirt-waist suits Of
pongee in it's natural color, which are in
deed dlooking: and in good taste. They
are made up much tucked and often
trimmed with Craponne lace the same
color as the silk.
But. of course, the new silk gowns are
not all shirt waist suits. There are e1ab-
crate street costumes as well as after
The Minneapolis journal., 1903-04-25

. There was a time when the silk gown
meant the evening gown--the costume
distinctly for dress occasions. Now all
this is changed. The fashionable girl
wears silk, morning, noon and night, and
the silk gowns Of this seasons design
plainly tell the reason why. There is
simply no end to their charming variety.
Taffeta silks, pongees, shantungs and sat-
in foulards are made up into chic-looking
shirt waist suits which are distinctly the
smart thing for morning wear, while the
soft louisines, satin liberties and pompa-
dour silks are effectively combined with
lace, embroideries and ribbons for after
noon and evening wear.
The evolution of the shirt-waist suit
since its first introduction has been some
thing to marvel at. At first it. was eX-
actly what its name implied-a shirt
waist of some sensible, washable material, ],
with plain skirt made of the same fabric
as the shirt waist. The palmer the cos
tune the more correct it was considered,
but since then there have been shirt waist
suits which the uninitiated would find
hard to recognize as such unless specially
Informed This year the shirt waist suit
is quite as apt to be of taffeta as Of ging
ham, and it is more often embroidered and
lace trimmed than plain. However, the
best style Of shirt-waist suits are the
palmer ones. This is particularly true
Of the silk suits. The taffeta silks lend
themselves admirably to the cool shirt
waist costume. In pin stripes and broad
stripes in little checks and big checks in
somber effects and in plain colors scat
tered with dots in various sizes. they are
all used. The black and white shirt waist
suits are much liked this year.

noon and evening gowns made of silk.
A fashionable silk street gown which
would also be. comfortable a travelling
costume is made Of black and white check
taffeta trimmed most effectively with
black velvet ribbon and big black velvet
covered buttons. The waist has a smart
coat effect and is made with a short
basque of the silk and the entire vest of
linen lace. The sleeve is one Of the new
est of the new models. The upper por~
ton is cut like coat sleeve with but
little fulness, while below the elbow an
abrupt puff appears, it's outline empha-
sized by a curiously shaped cuff of the silk
bound with the black velvet ribbon and
trimmed with two black velvet buttons.
1t is quite the proper thing these days
to carry with a costume of this sort a
parasol exactly matching it,.
In contrast to this style Of gown there
are other much more dressy. silk costumes
combined with lace and fancy stitches.
Satin foulard in one of the new small fig
ured effects is a favorite material for this
style of dress.
Among the prettiest Of the gowns con-
spicuous for their handwork are the dainty
dresses of fine white China silk made up
with the finest Of lace, much hand drawn
work and many fancy stitches. These
gowns are most deceivng creations, for
they have an air of sweet simplicity which
begules one into thinking that they are
inexpensive little frocks, when the truth
is. by the Introduction of SO much hand
work, they are astonishingly expensive.

smart thing for, driving and automobiling
