it imperative that we do this, aside
from sense Of justice to the pur.
chasing public. 1t will be our de.
sire all the time to carry the very
best Of merchandise in every de
partment. Our buyers will be
instructed to never buy Job lots OF
anything, We believe in good
merchandise. Good treatment and
a uniform profit on everything,
| We will personally conduct any
and all sales we may ever offer.
We do not believe in advertising
anything but plain truths, and we
will not tolerate any exaggerations
by our employees. We will always
make good anything we sell which
may be defective and not up to
what it was represented to be.
We will sell goods on strictly
thirty days time except in cases
when terms are made in the office
at the time of purchase, and will
expect every customer to make
prompt payment on the first day
of each month.
The change to one-price basis
makes this imperative. No firm
can possibly do one price cash
business and carry an account six
to twelve months on the same per
cent of profit they can sell for cash
or thirty days.
1t has been very gratifying to
us to have our friends commend
the change we are making and per-
sonally we know that every one
will get better and more satisfac-
tory service and be able to buy
their goods cheaper than we could
possibly sell them on the old plan,

"oLD HICKORY.
How Andrew Jackson Got His His
toric Nickname.

toric Nickname.
/ When war was declared with
England in 1912, on June IL, anC
was heard over the country by the
25th day of the same month, Gen,
Jackson had, through Gov. Blount,
offered his own services and those
of $500 volunteers of his division.
The offer was accepted and the
Secretary of War wrote "The
President cannot withhold an ex-
preston of his admiration of the
zeal and ardor by which they are
animated"
The destination of the troops
was New Orleans to aid in the de.
feDse of the Mississippi. On Jan.
i, 1918, all was in readiness and
the little army on flat boats moved
down the river. Col Coffee and
the mounted men marched across
the country, and were to rejoin
the General at Natchez.
Before embarking from Nash
vile Gen. jackson wrote to the
Secretory of War; II have the

teers. the choicest of our citizens,

tine, effectualIy banishing from
the Southern coasts all British
influence"
The fotilla was thirty nine days
in reaching Natchez, when they
received a communication from
Gen. Wilkerson at New Orleans,
requesting jackson to halt at
Natchez, as there were neither
quarters nor provisions provided
for them at New Orleans.
Several weeks of impatient wait
ing was terminated by letter from
j. Armstrong, the new Secretary
of War, dismissipg the command,
without making provision for the
pay of the men or for their return
homeward.
Gen. jackson was furious. Dis

Of transport, without provision

Dy wild and hostile indians. His

jackson had the faculty, which
all successful soldiers possess, of
completely identifying himself
with the men he commanded, in
vesting every soldier, as it were,
with portion of his own person
ality, and feeling a wrong done to
the least of them as done to him
self. Soldiers are quick to per-
ceive trait of this kind. They
saw, indeed, that there was whole
volcano of wrath in their General,
but they observed that, to the men
of his command, so long as they
did their duty, and no longer, he
was the most gentle, patient, con-
siderate and generous of friends.
"This resolve of his to disobev
his Government for their sake,
and the manner in which he exc
cnted that resolve, raised his popu-
larity to the highest point. When
the little army set out from
Natchez for the march of 500
miles through the wilderness, there
were $50 men on the sick list, of
whom fifty six could not raise their
heads from the pillow.
There but eleven wagons for
the conveyance of these. The rest
of the sick were mounted on the
horses of the officers. The Gen
eral had three excellent horses and
gave them all up to the sick men,
himself trudging along on foot
with the brisk pace that was usual
to him. Day after day he tramped
along the miry forest road, never
tired, and always ready with a
cheering word for others.
"The name Of old Hickory
was not an instantaneous inspira.
tion, but growth. First of all
the remark was made by soldier,
who was struck with his command
er's pedestrian powers, that the
General was tough Next it was
observed of him that he was tough
as hickory Then he was called
Hickory Lastly the affectionate
adjective 'old' was prefxed, and
The General thenceforth reioiced
n the completed nickname, usu-
lily the first won honor of a great I
commander.

rENpERFooT KNEW THE ROPES.
His Suspicion of Cowboys Marksman-
ship Was Verified.

Ex-Delegate Rodey, of New Mexico,
tells story illustrative of the trite
saying that circumstances alter cases.
Some of the citizens of certain
southwestern town, which was still in
the class of frontier settlements, de-
yised a new method of inducing ten
derfoot" visitors to furnish entertain
ment for the crowd. When the stran-
ger arrived in town and began the
making of acquaintance by conyen-
tional methods the ringleaders would
present to him one of the natives, who
was described as a marvelously accu-
rate shot To satisfy the curiosity
and interest invariably manifested by
the stranger the marksman would con-
sent to give an exhibition of his skill
after considerable urging on the part
of his friends. Raising his six-shooter
the celebrity would address the stran-
ger: DO you see that man smoking
a cigar about two blocks down the
street there? I'll hit the cigar with
out making the man bat an eye
Bang! went the six-shooter, and
back came the cry up the street:
See here, Bill, you have got to
stop this thing. That's the fourth
cigar you have spoiled for me to-day.
1 don't like it. Get somebody else to
practice on"
The astonished stranger could al
ways be depended on after such an
exhibition ito set up" the marksman
and his friends. One day there ap.
peared a visitor less credulous than
his predecessors. After the usual ex-
hibition this stranger appeared scorn-
full of the feat.
That's nothing" he declared. That
does not prove you can shoot I'll
wager 500 you can't hit barn door
at 100 yards"
The marksman took him up, and,
followed by the crowd, retired with
him to the back of the store for the
test. A shot was heard, and shortly
afterward the alleged marksman came
back looking very glum.
What's the matter, Bin?" asked
the man whose duties behind the
counter had kept him from enjoying
the tenderfoot's discontinue

burial with life still existant. He
started and looked again, piercingly,
into her still face. 1t was not mar
ble-like as the faces he had seen in
death. A sudden hope clutched at his
heart
Helen" he cried, come backl
You are mine, child; l have always
loved you-always. l didn't know.
o child, open your eyse to mel" His
face went gray with the effort Of his
life. He was straining, striving
against death, the conqueror himself
He prayed by all he held sacred. By
his mothers memory. BY his belief
in love, by the prayers of the long
gone dead, and holding her two cold
hands in his own, he chafed and
warmed them unweariedly, repeated
ly, calling to her, pleading with her,
begging her to come back.
The passionate warmth of his APP
peal softened the cold stiffness of her
fingers. They seemed to him to be
growing plant, human. He put ter
rible effort into his plea, shaking
from head to foot with the strangest
passion mortal ever experienced. He
would win her back from death. He
would see her eyes unclose or he
would die in the effort The perspira-
ton was pouring of his brow where
the veins were cruelty knotted. His
eyes burned like those of some wild
animal seen in the darkness at dead
of night
Helen" he called for the last time,
Helen child, it is I-open your eyes
to mel" 1t was the impassioned ap-
peal of soul to soul.
Than slowly, YEARLY, unwillingly,
as of some child waking from sleep
of deep exhaustion, the cold, white
lids lifted and the familiar eyes looked
into his own, though family as from
long distance. The shadow of a
smile parted the gray nps-the lips
of death. Overcome by the wonder
of the miracle, he staggered back, but
compelled himself, by a supreme eff
fort of will, to hold consciousness a
moment longer.
you are going to live!" he cried,
/ loudly. You are going to live-for
mel" He felt her cold, cold face
against his own hot cheek. He heard
her sigh-a long sigh of rapture that
was almost a sobTthen blackness.
In the little study below the sick
room-the room of resurrection
few hours later Atherton again fum-
bled about his wife's desk for the lit
tie photo. Again his awkward hands
tumbled the contents of the drawers
in reckless confusion, but at last they
closed on the treasured picture.
Tears of joy, the great tears that rise
out of the deepest feeling of strong
mans heart, fell thickly, unrestrained-
ly, on the child-like face of the WON
an who had been his wife for four
long, miserable years.

'FRIsco's CROP OF GENIUS.
Second Only to New York in vigor
and Freshness of Its Literature.

New York is of course the great
American market for literary wares,
says E. S. Martin in Appleton's
Magazine. There is also a measure of
hospitality shown to writer's and their
products in Boston, Philadelphia, Chi
cago and Indianapolis.
But San Francisco for thirty years
past has beaten all four of these sub
sidiary literary centers in the fresh
ness and vigor of its inspirations.
1t has had an ocean of its own to
stimulate its imagination, new coun-
try behind and about it and an adj
venturous and virile population that
has liked to live it's own life in it's
own way and dream and live its own
romances.
1t has had money, too. 1t has sent
out its ENJOYS to view the world land
a good many of them have stayed
away, and because it has been one
of the worlds great starting places
and landing places it has viewed ha-
bitually from it's own doorstep pretty
much every kind of human creature
that has been worth looking at.
Altogether, San Francisco has been
Ike no other city of our republic.

All Chemically Pure.

The mistaken idea Of a few years
ago. about Alum in Baking Powders
being injurious, no longer prevails, or
scarcely exists. II is a well estab-
lished fact by chemical analysis that
Cream of Tartar being less volatile
than Alum, when exposed to heat, is
not entirely vaporized as is the case
with Alum, but leaves a residue in the
bread, which is injurious. Alum, on
the contrary, is entirely evaporated
while performing it's function during
process of baking, leaving no atom of
injurious residuous substance. The
words Chemically Pure" enormously
used to designate Cream of Tartar
from Alum baking powder is a mis-
homer. Baking Powder made Of pure
Alum is as chemically pure as made
from pure cream of tartar These
words mean nothing more nor less
than pure chemicals, and in no way
can they imply that one baking pow
der is Alum and another Cream OF
Tartar. Alum has been declared to be
wholesome; an established fact. Ev-
cry large water system in the cities
along the Missouri river use Alum in
large quantities to purify the water
before pumping it into their water
mains for consumption. Cream of Tar.
tar baking powder is perhaps good
enough for any one; Alum baking
powder is better, and very much
cheaper.
