frightened If a dog happens to act queer

his fact continued the man. hap

dog which was thought to be mad" He
then explained that he owned a collie.

had been tied up for some time and
then let out. is naturally wild. On this
particular day he left his Office i'm the
vicinity of Ninth and Market streets
about noon with his dog. A horse was
hitched to "A tree on Market street and
near the animal were several men talk

and down the street and then play
fully jumped up at the horse. Some
one made the remark that the dog look

same as if you had thrown a bomb
shell in the middle of the street. Pc
destrians scattered I'm all directions and
the men who were standing near the
horse gave several leaps and went over
the fence in front of the First Presby-

ABOLISH THE NUISANCE.

~ HE trading stamp nuisance I'm this
town must go, II is time, The
people have either deceived them-
selves into the belief that they derived
some benefit from it, or they have
simply tolerated IL long enough.
It is without any anlmus that we
make this declaration. We ourselves
have used these stamps, Just as most
other business concerns have. We
have inserted the advertisements Of
trading stamp concerns and have re-
oeived our money therefor; but we are
no longer content 10 remain passive
while such nuisance exists Other
cities have met the issue and have put
The stamp firms out OF business; and
we can do It. Now the merchants OF
Wilmington are manifesting a deter
mlnation to get rid OF this parasite that
feeds on their business.
These trading stamp concerns take
out of this city a profit OF many thou
sands of dollars annually, for which
they give no return. Now we know
that they will deny this, but il is a
simple question OF mathematics. The
merchants have lot Of bother bui
they DO not pay for the stamps; you
the purchaser. pay for them. The mer-
chant is compelled to add the price ol
the stamps to the price of the goods
either that or he buys a cheaper quail
ity Of articles.
You can yet your stamps, paste them
in book and in time you go and get
some cheap premium worth a dollar on

paid for that premium several times
