Fred Brownley was Bob's youngest

a year had been our most trusted

his beautiful southern mother vas Of

to take their place with all the rest
of the world, for then Bob knew no
kindred, no friends. All the wide
world was to him during those pc

STYLES FOR THE CHILDREN.
Suit Coats Are Shown in Various
Lengths and Models.

Dear little suit coats OF the semi
fitting type are of various lengths,
They are shown in both double and
single breasted models and are ex-
ceedingly smart for the miss of IA
years. A handsome one is made of
cream-colored pongee piped with light,
green and trimmed with big green
crystal buttons. Another style, having
kimono sleeves, is finished with red
velvet collar and buttons.
With plain materials a great deal of
braiding is used. Plaid or mixed me-
terials do not require much trim
ming to make them modish. Jackets
accompanying killed skirts are smart
est when plainly tailored, with, per-
haps, collars and cuffs of contrasting
material.
The most recent finish being given
to killed skirts made of all washable
materials or of lightweight fannels is
to turn the hem on the right side and
finish it with several rows of stitch

SLEEVES TO BE SMALLER.
Cold Weather Wraps Will Necessitate
the Change.

The jumper in its latest form is
somewhat on supplied lines and is
frequently provided with n length
or another of those mandarin sleeves
which it helped to introduce. But there
is no gainsaying that the mandarin
sleeve is certainly to be curtailed with
the advance of colder weather, for the
winter wrap has necessarily less
roomy sleeves than that of summer,
That sleeves are shrinking is shown
in those used with the new draped
bodices, which cling more closely to
the figure than did the ordinary
jumper waist. These draped bodices
follow surplice lines front and back,
but blouse slightly over the girdle in
front, unless the figure be rather
plump, when no extra fulness is per
mitted.

WAKING CHEAP o
Low Prices Too Often Mean Inferior
Articles.

Efforts to cheaper cost Of produc-
ton Of numerous classes of goods and
to place them on the market in COM
petition with well advertised lines,
and at much lower price, has infiu'
enced not too honest manufacturers
to turn out very inferior articles. So
long as they can be made attractive
in exterior appearance SO as to please
those whose tastes are for the
SNOWY" seems to be the only consid-
Grafton. In the manufacture Of stoves
and ranges particularly is there great
opportunity for fraud. In different
cities Of the middle west are large
concerns that make a specially OF
manufacturing stoves to supply deal
ers who depend on cheapness to Sc.
cure sales. These manufacturers buy
from junk dealers all classes of old
iron, and this remelted and worked
over enters largely into their manu-
featured articles. The result is that
a stove is produced that while 1t ap-
pears to be all right, a few months
use will prove it to be almost worth
less. The tensile strength is not
there, the metal is rotten and brittle,
and the expansion caused by the heat
makes 1t warp and crack. The Innings
are of the poorest material.
One of the tricks employed is the
use of old sheet iron for lining,
Throughout the south and in many of
the large northern cities the manu-
facture of artificial ice Is extensively
carried on. Galvanized iron cans OF
the capacity of a 300-pound ice-cake
are used, and in every large plant
thousands of cans are In use. The
ammonia that is used in the process
of freezing soon causes the cans to
corrode, and then they are rendered
useless for the purpose required. The
stove manufacturing buy UP
these discarded cans, and use them
for lining stoves. 1t can be judged
that the life of the stove in this way
is shortened, but as the stoves are
never intended to last long, the lining
is as good as the other materia,
which enters into their composition
In appearance these stoves are al
that can be desired, but their wearing
and durable qualities are not half thai

brands of goods known to be STANDARD

of a dozen sales, and no reputabl
stove dealer or hardware merchan
would handle the goods.

you can fool some of the people
part of the time, but you can fool 9TH
ers all the time" seems to be a motto
of the get-rich-quick men and gold
brick" operators, Pages of the daily
and weekly press may be filled with
warnings to readers TO be on the look
out for swindlers, yet many who are
credited with intelligence will keep
right on biting at bats thrown out to
them by various oncern who sell
cats in bags"
Psychologists say that every person
has a weak spot somewhere in the
brain. 1t seems that this softness Is
| commonly manifested in false reason
ing that frequently n can get some
thing for nothing. Understanding this
desire on part. of the majority, the
fakirs bait their hooks accordingly.
There are large concerns which have
built up great enterprises by repre-
senting to the people that with each
bill of goods purchased the buyer
gets something for nothing"
Just think Of a graft like this
that will draw $500 worth of soap or
ders in a single month from a town
of 10000 people! But this is just
what has been done within the past
few months. Just think Of wives OF
grocers and dry goods merchants in
large cities joining soap clubs" and
paying a dollar each month to a for
eign oncern just to secure a pre-
MUM, while their husbands could
supply them at half the cost all the
soap and the premium too! YET
such Is the drawing power OF the
something for nothing" argument. II
the Creator gave these women com
mon sense they little know how tc
utilize it.
Some means should be devised K
tax directly or indirectly the con
Germs in foreign cities that seek t.
do business directly with consumer
through the mails. At present the!
are protected by the interstate com
merce law. These concerns maxi
their money by dealing with the pee
pie of some community, where the.
pay no taxes direct or license fees.
The merchants of the town ar
taxed upon the business they do. |
this proposition a fair one? The fol
eign insurance companies doing bus
ness in a state must pay a license fe
for SO doing. Why not compel tn
foreign mercantile concern to do tn
same? Our national laws should b
so constructed as to provide tina
there be a tax on the amount of bus
ness transacted in a state by an
mercantile concern in another STATE
unless the business be transacted b
concerns which pay taxes within tn
state for the doing of such business.
