The Pope's Mistake.

The late pope was once giving an
audience, when his attendants,
through some oversight, neglected
to introduce by name very stout
lady who approached the throne.
The pope, however, took the situa'
ton for granted 'Vous etes une
bonnie mere de famille chretienne,
n'est-ce-pas?' he asked gently.
In a Mortified whisper an attend
ant intimated that the lady was UNI
married. The pope, with smoth'
cred, gasp sat back in his chair
turned his face away and laughed. He
composed himself. however, so quick
ly that the lady, whose knowledge OF
French was not particularly good
never realized his holiness faux pas.

cost; if they save 25 cents on ten
dollar order by buying from a mail
order house they consider that clear
gain. They should be shown that a
merchant and his family living in
their midst, keeps up a house, pays

tributes generously towards public en-

Most mail order houses claim they
are enabled to sell cheaper than coun-
try dealers because they buy in larger
quantities and get especially low
prices. This is often a base mis-
statement of facts; let me cite an in.
stance: A stock man from eastern
Washington was visiting in Kansas
City One morning, walking with his
nephew, who was a clerk in a lead
ing wholesale hardware house, he
asked where Bland & Co.'s store was
located Don't think l ever heard OF
them" replied the young man. 20,

have no store, they have an Office in

but don't see how they can sell hard.
ware as low as your home merchants
for while we sell them goods at less
than retail price, we don't give them
as low prices as regular dealers, be
cause they buy in such small quaint
ties, just as they get orders" The
stockman was greatly surprised, he
supposed he had been dealing with
one of the largest firms in the city.
The mail order business has devel
oped so slowly, and works so quietly
that few persons realize the magni
tude 1t has assumed nor to what ex
tent it is now sapping the life-blood o.
many small cities and towns. Ever
now we hear the excuse given fol
sending away for goods, that the mer
chants carry such poor stocks. The
wonder is that they carry any.

It is now possible, thanks to a re-

from the fiber of the cotton stalk. It
is asserted that all grades Of paper,
from the best form of linen to the

from cotton stalks. In addition to
this, variety of by-products, such as

MELODY AND THOMAS

BUT 1T is A PRIZE FIGHT TO BE
PULLED OFF IN PHILADELPHIA
ToNIGHT-HoW THEY STAND.
Special to the Herald.


Philadelphia, Pa, March 6.-Trained
to the hour, Honey" Melody of Bos-
ton and Joe Thomas of California are
waiting for the gong to call them into
the arena of the National Athletic
club tonight, where they will endeavor
to settle their respective claims to the
cles of agreement call for a six-round
go at 145 pounds 1t has been a long
time since fight here has aroused so
much interest, and from all indica-
lions there will be a record breaking
crowd at the ringside
AS the fight will go only six rounds
and will be without decision it is
not probable that the result will have
any great bearing on the champion
ship title. The bout will serve to
show, however, the relative merits of
the two fighters. Melody claims the
welterweight title by reason of his
defeat of Joe Walcott at Chelsea last
November, since which time he has
been generally regarded as the cham
pion. The claims of Thomas as based
on the fact that he defeated Melody,
but as this was before Melody won
the title from Walcott it is difficult
to figure out satisfactorily the validity
of the California boys claims.
The majority of the ring critics re-
gard the two as pretty evenly match
ed. Melody is slightly favored over
Thomas because of his greater expert
ence in the ring. He has been fight
ing six years, during which time he
has met Walcott, Willie Lewis, Jack
Dougherty. Charlie McKeever, Dick
Fitzpatrick, Jack O'Keefe and many
other good fighters The best fights
Thomas has had were with Melody
