Duke Mercantile Company.

In the judgment of many it ap-
pears to be a manly things to pune
tuate their conversation with pro-
family; this IS all wrong, for the use
of profanity is but an Indication OF
moral if not mental weakness. The
man who uses profanity knows that
he is breaking the law of God, and
if he is a business man, and pos
sesses anything like good business
sense, he knows that heFbetter ele-
ment of his customers object to it.
Cut the profanity and immodest
talk out-you will be better yourself
for having done so, and everybody
with whom you come in contact will
be benefited.

BARBER LOSES
MANY SHAvES
Fifteen Dollars Stolen from the Till
of Mills Shop Yesterday
Afternoon.

SIS.
Fifteen.
An Eagle and a half!
A wad big enough to choke cow.
The price Of one hundred shaves:
That's what sneak thief frisked
from the till of Mills barber shop
early yesterday afternoon.
Mills himself had gone to lunch.
F.. G.. Smith, his assistant, was
alone in the shop. Smith suddenly
recalled an errand-a really urgent
one which he had meant to accom-
plish earlier in the day-and has
tened out and across the street. He
was gone four or five minutes, and
when he returned the drawer was
standing open and the cash missing.
A most extraordinary feature of
the incident, and one which shows
the carelessness of some otherwise
accomplished thieves, was the fact
that although the visitor got the
money he overlooked a scuttle OF
diamonds ana other precious stones
which stood on the shelf above the
drawer.
