THE MOST ROMANTIC TRADE.

the most exciting and romantic trade in the world
The great factories Of Sevres and Dresden were
founded by Bernard Palissy. This man invented
white enamel, but it took him sixteen years to make
the invention-sixteen years Of hunger, misery and
persecution, which eliminated in the episode used in
H. A. Jones play of 'tThe Middleman,'' wherein
Palissy only maintained his furnace fire by burning
all the furniture in his house, and finally opened the
furnace door to find within the glaze which he had

MISREPRESENTATION

should not be allowed, no matter what the circumstances may be, be- cause people do not liko to be and should not be hoodwinked. Take for instance that base ball game the other day between the news gath erers and city office holders. We were led to believe that we were going to see good game of ball and a fair, square umpire, but oh what deception and oh what conglom- eration of ball players. We'll, when we say the lockers on were filled with eleutheromania after the game is putting it mildly, but there is lots of deception going on every day. For instance you can buy tea or cof- fee from almost any merchant who has it for sale and he'll tell you it's the best in the city. but after you have tried it you'll be the better judge Now if you buy tea, coffee. butter, cocoa or spices at our store you won't be deceived. because the quality we sell always speaks for itself; in fact, it makes you call again. That's the quality that does not misrepresent. but on the contrary it's just what we say it Is. By the way, did you get one of those little rocking chairs with one pound of our warranted good Baking Pow der, 45 cents per pound?

POINTED PARAGRAPHS,

When good nature is noisy it is al
most as disagreeable as ill nature.
You are interesting to your friends
as long as you are keeping something
from them
Never watch others unless you are
prompted by the desire to find some
thing to applaud
Somehow your right always seems
full grown and the other mans right is
a dwarf in comparison
If you know of any patience that is
not the patience of mother, compared
with that kind it is an adulterated
brand.
A good many times when you think
you are accepting complimentary
from friend you are getting a seat
in the gallery at box prices.
If we could see our backs, we would
probably find them blushing at things
said behind them to spare the feelings
of our faces.-Atchison Globe.

by Hugo, bishop of Ely, in 1857. The
University of Paris was founded by
King Philip II. about the year 1900.
The first German university was estab-
lished at Prague in 134S. Trinity col
lege, Dublin, was incorporated by roy
al charter in 1891. The University of
Edinburgh was first chartered in 1852
by King James VI. of Scotland. Har-
ward college was founded at Cam
bridge, or, as it was then known, New.
town, Mass, in 1886. Yale university
was first established at Saybrook,
Conn, in 1900 It removed to it's pres
ent location, New Haven, in 1916.
