In private conversation over the coun-
ter to customer, and then quote the
price. This will nearly always act as
clincher and will at least put him
on a standing with the catalogue
house. In fact it will give him an ad-
vantage over the catalogue house, for
in almost every case he can sell the
same grade of merchandise cheaper
than the catalogue house can sell it.
This is not mere theory but state
ment of fact, for the reason that the
country merchants business is oper-
ated at very much less expense than
that of the mail order merchant.
There are a thousand and one items
of expense which the city merchant
has to meet that are entirely unknown
to the country merchant
The time is rapidly approaching
when people who patronize mail order
houses will be looked upon as soon

zens of all commonwealth and will
suffer ostracism at their hands. &:

did you ever hear of a case where any

A Child of Destiny?

If the Washington dispatches are 10
| be credited, President Roosevelt Is
greatly discomftted over the command
ing position that Gov Hughes Eolds in
New York politics Instead of finding
Hughes a puppet in his hands, Mr..
Roosevelt has awakened To the fact that
he has raised up a formidable rival TO
contest with him for the control of the
Republican party of the Empire state
1t is essential to Mr. Roosevelt's po-
litical plans that he shall have control
of the Republican party in New York.
1t was the presidents policy to appear
as sponsor for Gov. Hughes and TO take
to himself the credit for the governors
administration. Hughes, however, de-
clined to play the role Of pnppet and re-
jected the presidents support Hughes
has been padding his own canoe.
The reports from New York indicate
that Gov. Hughes while appealing to
the Republican voters as square
dealer has won the favor and conf
dence of the financial interests He is
hailed as second Grover Cleveland.
And Wall street never had governor
or president that served its ends better
than did Grover Cleveland
There is little doubt that Gov Hughes
will be given the New York delegation
to the Republican national convention.
Though Roosevelt should openly oppose
the governor, there is little likelihood
that he would be able to prevent the
naming of Hughes delegation The
nomination and election of Hughes
would completely eliminate Roosevelt
as the dominating influence in New
York politics. Roosevelt in the senate
would be small potatoes compared with
Hughes in the Office of president.
There would be a new king in New
York as well as in the nation.
with the glamor of "reformer," Gov.
Hughes is the most formidable candi-
date in the field for the Republican
nomination. MIR. Hughes is more
child of destiny than Theodore Roose
welt. Roosevelt planned for the presi-
dency. Every step that he took from
the day he raised mis- reglmento of Rough
Riders until he entered the White house
was made with view to its bringing
him nearer to-the goal.
Hughes was an obscure New York
lawyer, coming by chance to serve as
attorney in the life insurance investi-
CATION The prominence that was given
to him in the investigation led Roosevelt
and the republican leaders to pick him
as the one available candidate for gov
ernor to pit against Hearst
Roosevelt thought to use him to kill
off Hearst and thus rid himself of an
obnoxious political force. He succeeded
in defeating Hearst only TO raise up
more dangerous and powerful rival
within the Republican party And as
the Office of governor was thrust upon
Hughes by Roosevelt to get rid of Hearst,
there is every indication that the finan-
cial interests will thrust the nomination
for the presidency upon him to get rid
of Roosevelt. Milwaukee News.

HE SAVED THE SITUATION.
"Dead" Maa on the Stage Displayed
Great Presence of Mind
in a Hitch,

In the second act of a certain melo-
drama one of the actors, in the role
of poacher, was supposed to be
killed. A rival poacher. after shoot
ing him, ran off, and the curtain de-
scended on the dead man lying alone in
the center of the stage, relates CasseIps.
The piece was being performed in
small country town. At the end of
the second act the victim was duly
shot, and the murderer as duly made
his escape. Something, however, went
wrong with the curtain and it did not
descend.
1t came down to within seven feet
or so OF the stage, and there 1t stopped.
Then whispers and frantic orders,
given in low, hoarse voices, sounded
from the wings. The audience tit
tered.
Suddenly the dead" man rose

in a sepulchral tone.
Then with his long, thin arms, he
reached up and pulled the curtain
