The Janitor.

The janitor's life is not always a
happy one. Even If the janitor is at
times less polite than the tenant
wishes him to be; II his demands as to
the use Of water. the disposal Of ashes
and the reception Of parcels seem tyr
annical, he is always the guardian Of
the house, and does the fault-finding
tenant many favors for which he never
receives credit. He has been the IN
complaining butt of the joker and the
cartoonist so long that 1t Is refreshing
to note that there are some people who
appreciate his worth and are willing
to reward him for 1t. The janitor lives
In small, cramped and often unsanitary
quarters; he Is responsible for the con-
Hition Of the house; he stands between
the tenant and the unwslcome visitor;
lie Is ut times expected to see every
Thing. and again Is asked to be accom-
modatingly blind. He repairs the water
pipe or the electric wires, fixes the
radiator Or finds the lost baby, and his
wife, in emergencies. repairs a gar
ment or takes the place of a waitress.
He is on duty before the tenants arise
and works long after others have re-
tired, and still the threat Of the dis
satisfied tenant, "IIl report you"
hangs V e him constantly.-New York
Tribune.

A BETTER TRADE.
Business In Mercantile Lines
Picking Up.

All the merchants of Winnfielc
have received new goods during
the past few days, every train
coming in bringing new goods
Fall trade has begun to show up,
and while trade during the entire
summer has been good, better
than anticipated, the merchants
now feel that they have got to
make extra preparations to meet
the big trade that is coming this
way during the fall. Everything
is putting on q more lively ap-
pearance and local business seems
better than at any time this year.
Nearly all the merchants had
received new goods before the
fire and during the excitement
everything was tuihbled around
unceremoniously, the idea
being to save everything possible
from destruction. 1t required
several days and much work to
get things Strengthened out again,
and while all the stores that
missed burning have not been
thoroughly Strengthened up as
yet, they are assuming shape and
will soon be ready for business
again.
All the merchants are making
efforts for increased trade this
fall and will keep everything
needed by the trade in this sec
ton. They will make a bid for
trade by the very lowest
prices possible. They have
adopted the plan of buying near
Iy everything in large lots and
can make prices with any other
town. Farmers who have here
tofore gone many miles to mar
ket will find that they ~can save
much time by coming to Winn-
field, and they can buy supplies
here rs reasonable as elsewhere.
Everything now points to a
better market at Winfield and
consequently a better trade.
