iective article purchased of him.
Because: When You ara sicb
or for any reason it Is necessary
Tor you 70 ask credit, you can e
10 the local merchant and get it.
Could you ask it Of mail order

Because: II q merchant is vii.
ling 10 extend you credi, you
should give him the benefit OF
your cash trade,
Because: Your home merckan.
pays local taxes and exerts eve-
ny effort to better your markets.
Because The mail order mer-
chant does not Tighten your tax

Because: Ii your town is good

ruler Of Verona, Padua, Vicenza and
Brescia. His cruelties finally became
50 intolerable that the church pro-
claimed a crusade against him. The
peasantry rose and q farmer killed the
brute with a scythe. / was shown an
upright box in which was the skeleton
of a victim. Two apertures enabled
the cond emned to see q table, just
out Of reach, crowded with food and
drink To-day, 1t is stage food and the
wine is colored water, but the realism
Is intense. The climax Of shudders
was reached when came to a block
In the center Of small square room.
Nailed to the chopping block, severed
midway between the wrist and elbow,
lay the dainty hand Of a woman, Just
as it had been chopped from the living
arm! The instant my eyes saw this
sight the cell seemed to resound with
the shrieks of the terrified woman,
and, although the hand 4 gazed upon
was Of wax, the mental shock pro
duced was dreadful beyond conception.

ARE LoFTlEsT OF MINES.
Worked by lncas and Now to BE
Opened by New Company.

It is thought that the old Caylloma
silver mines in Peru are probably sit
uated at a greater elevation than any
other considerable mines in the world.
Their altitude varies between $4,000
ara 1900 feet. They were worked by
the Spaniards in the sixteenth century,
and before that, it is believed, by the
Incas. An English company is now
preparing a hydro-electric plant for
them. This plant will be situated at
an altitude of between 5000 and 49,
900 feet. 1t will derive its power from
a waterfall on the Santiago river, and
in a dry. season from Lake Huai}lacho,
one of the sources Of the Amazon. The
power will be transmitted by cable
about three miles, At the highest
mines the pressure of the atmosphere
is only eight and one-half pounds a
square inch, and water boils "a de-
grees below the ordinary boiling point.

declared he had not been in active

could be gotten him was
that the Standard ,,..Oil Company .of
New J ersey was capitalized for about
800. 100000, and that its dividends
last year were Approximately per

things that it owned a controlling in
