Dear Sir: The easiest business in
this world is dry goods; the reason is:
your customers want your stuff as
much as YOU want to sell it; they
come in; you show it and sell it. That's
the whole business, except your buy
ing the goods.

and people like money. They like
somebody else's more than their own;
they like to mako it moro than to
save it; they like to keep it perhaps
as we'll as to make it.
Buildings rundown fast, without
paint; poor paint is the same. Devoe
is the means of stopping that leak; Il

Gently witnessed unique sea fight
10 which sea lion and a monster
devil fish were the combatants.
The first intimation that they
had df the struggle was seeing the
water near by violently agitated
and ohprned into foam as though a
submarine demon were venting his
spleen upon some denizen of the
mighty deep. Soon afterward they
saw a large sea lion come to the
surface in the deadly grip and en-
brace of the much dreaded octopus,
whose long, powerful tentacles en-
circled the entire body of the sea
lion, thus apparently rendering fu-
tile all efforts on its part to escape.
Finally after repeatedly diving and
trying in vain to free itself, the sea
lion was seen to bend back its
massive, long neck, open his cav
ernous mouth and seize one of the
tentacles of his foe near its body,
which member it snapped off and
devoured with avidity. This oper.
alton was repeated until the octo.
pus, bereft Of it's tentacles, had per-
force to let go, whereupon the sea
lion proceeded to feast upon the
body until satiated, after which
other sea lions, who had hitherto
held aloof, although laboring un.
der great excitement during the
battle. fell upon the carcass and
ate up the residue.
The octopus was fully - feet ir
l,dianeshr, and would never have re.
leased his intended victim had no.
