BOSTON. Mass. Feb. after forty
years Of silence, Lieutenant General

sons for having shackled Jefferson Da-
Wis. an act which was made the sub
5ect Of resentful comment by Repre-
sentative John Sharp Williams of Mis-
eissippi, in the course of the debate
on the army appropriation bill in the
House recently.

Mrs. Enos is S5 years old. Fifteen
years ago, as Miss Marian Peters,
daughter of Jason Peters, a wealthy
diamond merchant, she was a belle of
San Francisco. She still retains many
traces of her former charms. Because
of family pride she has refrained from
communicating to her father her dis

was sent to him in San Francisco.

kept on for five days only, while a
wooden door was being removed and
an iron-grated one substituted. Some
of the workmen were friendly to the
Confederacy.
The anklets gave Davis no pain and
did not prevent his walking They
were designed to prevent his attempt

else injury. There was not the least
desire on the pat of any one to place
indignities upon Mr.. Davis or in any
way humiliate him.

Profits of the Packers.

There has been great zeal OF dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits Of the pack
ing industry only amount to about two
per cent. on the volume of business
transacted. There is 10 doubt, how
ever. that the report is correct.
The census reports compiled by the
Government in 1900. before the agita-
ton regarding the beef trust began.

ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry Is conducted on Il
smaller margin of gross profit than any
other industry in America. The gross

lions would seem impossible In bust
ness where there are several thoTSand

pears that the gross profits of the mill

Why She Preferred vira,nia.

William Waugh Smith, Chancellor OF

which befell him in earlies days when
he was one Of the engineering party

which their hostess showed the Keen

But at supper time, when again the
surveyors and their assistants were
the lady's guests, DR.. Smith was able
to say: Madame, very little of your
place is in South Carolina. The home
itself Is well into Virginia"

she exclaimed: "Oh, I'm so glad! I'm

WHY?


Why, when buying a book, are we in
fIuenced by the authors name? Why by
an artists if we purchase a picture!
Why do wise buyers insist upon having
a reliable name on nearly everything they
purchase?
1t is because the name attached is the
safeguard of the buyer protection
against the pa.ming off of inferior articles.
This name guarantee" we all look for in
the most important things we buy, and
what can be more important than our
food.
Everybody knows that all intelligent
housekeepers are very particular about the
buying of things to eat and drink, and no
body realizes it more than the upto-date
grocer, who caters to the wants of his Gus
toners.
For instance, every real grocer knows
the reason for the universal popularity OF
LION COFFEE, the leader of all package
coffees. He knows that its uniform purity
and high quality have made it welcome in
millions of American homes for over a
quarter of century.
Realizing this he cannot but hand it out
cheerfully when asked for it. He knows
that the people accept the package as
guarantee of the contents.
Yet there may be a few grocers left who
do not recognize that the bayer-not the
seer-has the right of choice, and they
may want to sell their loose coffee (who
knows what it is, or where it came from?)
instead of LION COFFEE, which the Gus
toner asks for, and the merits of which
both know
In such cases the wisest advice is:
"Change your dealer"
