THE Wizard of OF" comes to the
Spokane theater Friday night for a

things OF the season. 1t Is an ex-

It is an up-to-date fairy tale with
features for young and old. -.
The opening illusion, showing the
transition from earth to fairyland,
provides a foretaste of the succession
of wonders that follow. A most mar
velous work of stagecraft is the
transformation at the end of the first
act. where a field of poppy flowers in
full bloom is metamorphosed from
summer to winter. The stage is dark
at first and then rain falls gently,
and through the rain one discerns.

poppy flowers of gigantic size. The
rain ceases, the sun rises, a golden
glow fills the atmosphere and en-
phasizes the scarlet of the flowers,
which now. raising their heads in
the grateful sunshine, are discovered
to be young and graceful women.
Then, when the Witch of the North
(incarnated by beautiful and statu-

the malignant flowers and invokes a
snow storm they seem blighted to

wilted and withered in the heart of
winter.

chorus to make realistic the many
scenic effects. The curtain rises at

evening of fun.

"JEsUs paid it all; all the debt

sung by the faithful in the meet

Some people work on the literal
principle of the song notwithstand-
ing the fact they have no re-
ceipted bill to prove it. We have
several accounts on our books
which the party mentioned has
failed to square up and would
respectfully ask those receiving
statements to settle themselves
and not saddle the debt on some
one with whom they not even
have a passing acquaintance.

AS can be noticed by announce
ment in another column, one of
the Ely merchants will on the
first of March inaugurate a new
system of doing business. In our
opinion success will be made of
the scheme and it is only to be re-
gretfed that not all the towns and
all the merchants therein cannot
adopt the cash system of doing
business. The Eveleth Star of last
week gives few remarks on the
subject. They meet with our APP
proval and we herewith reproduce
excerpts from the same.
Now, the merchant, first of all,
begins to reckon what it costs him
to do business. He begins with
the cost of clerk hire, the number
of horses necessary to do business,
the cost of feeding these horses
etc. This cost added to the rent
of building, or it's equivalent in
money invested in the building,
light, fuel, taxes, insurance and
freight, and it will be seen that
the clerk or delivery expense and
order taking system is more than
Is per cent of the total cost of do
ing business. But again, there is
another feature that is also dis
appointing one to the business
man, it is the fact that MANY
merchants in this community
never get a chance to talk with
many of their customers; never
even see the homes or boarding
houses with which they do bust
ness. Their bills are made out
and sent with the clerks, and the
money is paid over, or at least
portion OF it, aud so it goes year
in and year out.
Suppose, however, that the mer-
chants of this community should
all come together and stop the
order taking system, allowing their
customers to come ito their re-
spective stores to order their
goods, get their own selection, pay
cash or run their current account.
Suppose that delivery was made of
goods once a day, with no priv
ledge of the delivery man taking
orders, how easily and quickly
could the days sales be delivered
and how materially could the mer-
chants expenses be reduced. BY
such system, a reduction of from
8 to 10 per cent could be made to
every consumer in this community
who purchase groceries and meats.
The city would be a perfect hub of
industry, the counters would be
crowded with purchasers, the citi-
zens of the community would have
to come to the stores to buy food
products, and the towns would be
perfect hub of trade. Why not
have the merchants take up this
question? They will be doing a
great benefit to every citizen of
the community. If the house
wife does not desire to go to the
meat market or grocery store she
can communicate with her grocer
or meat man by means of the
telelephone. We believe the
system would work and be a.
benefit.

ONE man attained the age of lis
years by using a certain patent
medicine advertised and another
reached the ripe age of 108 by using
a pure malt whisky. By swift
mental calculation, the combining
of both would bring you 223 years
old, while if you let all medicine
alone you will probably live for
ever. If there is flaw in this
process of reasoning, look at the
