"The pyrotechnic artists have con-
tributed nothing remarkably new In
the more expensive lines" said F. w.
King, manager for the fireworks de-
partment of John w. Graham & Co.
The novelties introduced are prin-
cipally of the penny kind that will
please the heart of the small boy

greater height than ever before. and
there are some brilliant effects.
Prices range from $40 for a Neapoli-
tan five break down to s cents for a
string of 40 baby" Chinese crack
ers. The lack of public celebration
this year means much more in the
pocket of the retailer, as, instead of
watching one big exhibition. the
small boy will now purchase more
fireworks and the number of home
displays will be greater than ever"

All Persons Do Not Wear Them for
OstentatiOus Display.
When DR.. II. ]. Davenport, pro-
fessor Of political economy in the Uni
versity OF Chicago. makes the state
ment that people do not wear beautiful
clothes because they are beautiful or
artistic, but simply for the sake OF
making ostentatious display, he Is, OF
course, talking nonsense. The profess
sor did not stop at condemnation OF
the people who wear beautiful clothes,
but went on to denounce those who
ride in highly colored automobiles, the
Salvation Army on account Of It's uni
form, and everything in the nature Of
what he calls display.
The average citizen knows enough
to discriminate between those who
seek display for the sake Of display
and those who have a real liking or
love for everything that Is graceful.
tasteful and artistic. says the Chicago
Inter Ocean. The average citizen
knows well how to differentlate be-
tween the gentleman and the dandy,
the lady and the snob, the refined and
the vulgar. And the average citizen is
not at q loss to distinguish at a glance
the college professor who talks for the
sake Of calling attention to himself
| from the college professor who talks
because he has something to say.
A love for the beautiful is inherent
in mankind and womankind. The vast
majority Of people are fond Of beauti.
| full things and like to be surrounded
with beautiful things. whether they
number beautiful things among thelr
possessions or not. 1t would be as
reasonable to say that people keep
themselves clean and neat for the sake
Of making ostentatiOus display as &c
say that they dress In the best they
can command for that reason.
That there Is, always has been. and
always will be vanity In the world
nobody can deny, but 1t Is far from
being Ghe truth that people in gen
eral wear nice clothes, buy handsome
furniture or surround themselves with
beautiful and artistic things from
sheer vanity. Prof. Davenport for
