The Leader Store News;

Some stores are better
trading places than others.
Not necessarily because their
prices are lower but because
of the better quality
of their merchandise. The
Leader must be classed
among the very best. Our
groceries are "firsts" always,
no seconds or standards.
"Firsts" the kind that make
your mouth water just to
look at them. When it comes
to the actual eating, well,
let us be your grocer man.

Photographing Animals.

From the Manchester Uhloh
Dexter Fellows, who has been identified
with circuses about all of his young days,
came to Manchester the other day. Mr..
Fellows carries with him an armful of big
photographs of animals mostly. Now, IT Is

The head of the giraffe. with its long neck
for a stem, is confoundedly like big in

creature, and it is hard to catch him just
right. When the animal is alert he makes
an example of brute beauty that Is worth
preserving But the monkey makes the
camera artist earn his wages. he is
half-human chap, with sense of humor all
his own. He is as full of humor and mis-
chief as a healthy boy.

Ravages Of the Souvenir.
W York Evening Post,

From the New York Evening Post.
The vogue of the illustrated souvenir pos
tai card has assumed the dimensions of a
literary peril What was once a harm

visitors in out-of-the- way places has be-
come all but universal mania. The Bos-
ton post office reports handling 25COO Of
these yellow imps in a single day. The
so-called comic valentine once tainted the
postmans bag. It's influence, however,
lasted but for a day. while the souvenir
postal card ceaseth not day nor night to
cry for destroyer.
From one point of view, the growing pop
uiarity of these postal cards but evidences
anew the danger with which modern
mechanism is continually encompasslng the
older handicraft arts. The printed book
has driven out the illustrated missal. THE
uuarter-sawed oak of Kalamazoo has dis
placed Chippendale and Sheraton. And at
last the Illustrated postal. with cheap
ready made sentiment and It's chrome lith-
ograph threatens the letter of friendship,
travel and description. This residuary field
of the epistolary art was long supposed to
be safe from the inroads of the printing
press. Political intelligence such as fills
Horace Walpole's six stout volumes of pri-
waite letters has for over a entury been
disseminated in the newspapers. Scientific
news has long since found similar media
of publicity. But the intimate unbosoming
of friend to friend at distance had held
atNbay all the devices of modern machinery
until the advent of this substitute for
real letter.

An Indian Legend.

From the Kansas City Journal.
An Indian story that has been handed
down and is still believed by many Indian
tribes Is one about the transformation of
leaves into birds. Long years ago, when
the world was young. the Great Spirit went
about the earth making 1t beautiful Wher-
ever his feet touched the ground lovely
trees and flowers sprang up. All summer
the trees wore their short green dresses.
The leaves were very happy and they sang
their sweet songs to the breeze as 1t passed
them. One day the wind told them the time
would soon come when they would have to
fall from the trees and die. This made the
leaves feel very bad. but they tried to be
bright and do the best they could SO as not
to make the mother trees unhappy. But at
last the time came and they let go of the
twigs and branches and futtered to the
ground. They lay perfectly quiet. not able
to move except as the wind would lift
them.
the Great Spirit them and thought
they were so lovely that he did not want
to see them die. but live and be beautiful
forever. so he gave to each bright leaf a
pair of wings and power to fly. Then he
called there his birds" From the red and
brown leaves of the oak came the robins
and yellow birds from the yellow willow
leaves, and from bright maple leaves he
made red birds; the brown leaves became
wrens, sparrows and other brown BIRDS
This is why the birds love the trees and al
ways go to them to build their nests and
look for food and shade.

Color Scheme of the Flowers.

his way into hole Mr.. Woods called hfs
wife to watch for the appearance Of the

Modern Treasure Troye.
from the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
From an island Off Grand Traverse bay,
in Lake Michigan. two men, according to
uncontradicted report, have just dug up
$4,000 In gold. 1t is supposed to be gold
that was stolen from Chicago at the time
of the great fire. 1t is also stated to be
Spanish gold" though the currency of the
pistoe and the doubloon In Illinois only
two years before the crime of '73 is a fact
in financial history not hitherto noted. This,
however, is mere detail The important
fact is that a treasure hunter has actually
unearthed a very substantial sum in real
money 1t will put hope into the hearts of
many hitherto unsuccessful excayators, and
the stocks Of treasure prospecting COM
panies-none of which, so far as We know
are listed on any exchange-should go up
several points.
The phrase like finding money" Zone of
the most familiar in our popular speecD
shows in itself how even humdrum TWEEN
tieth-century society is permeated by the
notion Of treasure trove. Other equally
common figures of speech. 1t will be noted,
relate to experiences as familiar as them
selves. Split milk and chickens counted be-
fore they are Matched come within the lin
its Of every ones knowledge. But hardly
anybody finds money. When one does it Is
usually only dime or nickel in the gut
ter. The phrase goes into homely language
because people are thinking about finding
money, not because they are doing it.
One reason for the fascination which hid
den treasure has for persons of all ages and
periods Is that on no other ground do ro-
nance and practical sense approach so
closely. That there were pirates along our
coasts-enough Of them to make up popu-
lar series Of the now extinct cigarette pic

The Food Prisoners.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
When food is so bad that it kills dog 1t
must be bad enough not to sell to human
beings. Yet 1t is precisely the adulterants
put upon our tables and served to US In ho-
tells and restaurants which are killing the
dogs. A chemist in Atlantic City has been
conducting a series of experiments by feed
ing these personalities, substitutes and col
oring matters to dogs, guinea pigs and rab-
bits, and the results are fatal. Post-mortem
examinations show the results of actual
poison. These materials are eaten by men,
women and children; they are served in
breadstuffs; they are used in canned goods !;
they are employed by the Chicago packers
In embaiming beef and sausages; they en-
ter into the composition of spices and
condiments: they give color and sharpness
to watered wines and liquors; they give an
effect of ripening to beer that should ma
ture in the watts, and, so far as we are
aware, not one manufacturer who thus
sophisticates his output has ever been sent
to jail.
