A Fitting Celebration.


"This year we will commemorate
the fiftieth anniversary of the organiza-
ton of the republican, party.
9 In no way can it be more fifty cele
brated than by reaffirming the prin-
.ciples of protection contained in the
platform upon which Abraham Lincoln
was elected in 1860, and by choosing
as his own successor the vigorous, sa-
gacious, strenuous, brilliant and hon
est executive, Theodore Roosevelt.
For three years he has been tried and
he has shown himself worthy of the
place to which he has been called. He
has fought the good fight He has kept
the faith. But he has not finished his
course.
1--WE have been RECALLED with much
discussion of the proper phraseology
of expression by which the doctrine Of
protection should be defined Our

Protection is most popular when

1t was heroic thing for DIR. and
Mrs. Allen to remain where buildings
were burning and bullets whizzine
through the streets, and treason and
fanaticism were on every hand.
AS If to fix firmly the place OF this
skillful Yankee missionary in the royal
favor, the Emperor himself fell sick.
to be cured by DR.. Allen. This gave
him the title of court physician. and
a comma nding position at the palace,
which latter he has held to this day.
Another evidence OF the high favor
in which he was held was his appoint
ment by the direct wish Of the En-
peror. to be foreign secretary Of the
Korean embassy to the United States.
He returned after time. to take up
his routine missionary work. but in
1890. with the consent Of the Mission

the United States legation at Seoul.
During the Worlds Fair at Chicago he
served as commissioner for Korea. In

THUS SHE GOES TO MARKET.

Housekeeping on the Delicatessen Plan
| as PraCticed in New York.
In the most up-to-date delicatesscn
stores retail selling is done by sample.
This is a result of the growing de-
mands Of the ever-increasing army OF
! light housekeepers.
| All the delicacies of the season, hot
and cold, canned meats ready to serve,
bcned turkey, fowls and roasts just
from the spit soups, condiments.
pickles and a dozen kinds Of sweets
and preserved fruits are kept ready.
Baskets, little and big, from 10 cents
up, are ready to be laden with the
good things that are to furnish the next
meal Of the light housekeepers.
But nothing put up in this fashion
is delivered by the store. The men and
women who order these hampers, big
and little, carry them home themselves
or send servants or messenger boys to
fetch them.
From o'clock onward to the closing
of the store women crowd it to order
or to obtain their meals. 1t is the odd
est marketing in New York, and it is
growing in fashion to astonish people
with fully appointed homes and elab-
crate kitchens.
When business is not too active, and
especially in the morning, the method
of making retail sales by sample is
employed. II Il woman comes along
and inquiries the price Of pickles, at
once the eager saleswoman begs her t.
try one If the trial results In a pur
chase the saleswoman calls other small
articles to the attention of the Gus
toner.
The latter tries the pickles, pre-
serves, perhaps sliced canned pound
cake or plum pudding, buying as she
eats, and the saleswoman. more and
more interested as the appetite for
both the present and the future seems
to increase, continues to press all sorts
of delicacies upon her
Perhaps the customers eyes catch
sight of a can of tomato bouillon. She
inquiries the price. and in half min
ute she is ted at II table or the
counter with the soothing suggestion
from the saleswoman that hot cup Of
bOuillon will refresh her.
Tiny crackers are at hand, and ut
length the customer leaves after hay
ing eaten a fairly hearty midmorning
luncheon and bought little Of every
thing she has tasted. There are women
who already begin to work these stores
as free lunch. but the interest of the
saieswoman flags when orders do not
follow the sampling process. --\cw
