Betrayed by CEum&iness-

eve have to constantly keep on the
lookout for people who, in order to get
trade prices, pretend to be in the bust
ness" said the head Of one of our
wholesale wall paper houses. "They
are not always easy to detect, either,
for some are pretty well posted on the
subject and are hard to trip up. But
I caught one the other day. He
claimed to be paper hanger from the
west, and he wanted something bang
up in style at trade prices. He talked
so knowingly about wall papers that
had about made up my mind to give
him the discount, when little thing
happened that put me wise He at
tempted to roll up again some paper
he had spread out on the floor to ex-
anime. The way he did it was reve-
lation. He took hold of it and manled
st about as if he were kneading bread
I never saw anything less like the pro-
fessional way of doing it. l gave him
the discount all right, but up instead Of

TELEGRAPHERS' STRIKE.

Whether it is clear to the general
public or not just what the West.
ern Union and Postal Telegraph
operators are striking about or
whether if it is the sYmpathies of
the public are with the men of the
keys, remains to be seen. That the
present strike will cost the telegraph
operators thousands of dollars and
many of them their positions and
the companies into the hundreds of
thousands and the general public an
inestimable sum, the strike is on.
Not only is it ON, but 1T bids fair to
cripple business for some days to
come. In cases where the unions
come into conflict with the corpora
ton that employs them it is always
the public that suffers. The coal
strike which took thousands of
wOrkmen from the scene of their
4abors for months cost them a pretty
penny, cost the coal companies a
large sum, and the public millions
of dollars and an untold amount of
suffering. The strike in the pack
ing yards few years ago was also
a costly affair and the public suf-
'fered. Now comes the strike of
the knights of the Key which
promises to effect many not hlther-
to affected. Where it will end re-
mains to be seen. AT present the
public is at the mercy of the opera
tors. As usual the public suffers
whether the cause of unionism wins
or loses the moral effect will not
be sufficient to compensate for the
financial loss their foolishness will
entail.

KEEP AWAKE.

In these sultry August afternoons
it is worth while insisting that one
shall not permit his thinking pro-
cesses to fall into slipshod methods.
The wise man of business keeps his
senses on duty as long as he is IN
the harness, because many Of the
best suggestions come to MIN in a
purely incidental way.
The man who aspires to over
come some difficulty not infrequent-
ly finds the key to the task in some
seemingly trivial incident, just as
the falling apple suggested to Now
ton the secret OF the law which
governs the relations of the planets,
and as the fitting lid of the teapot
suggested to Watts the steam
engine. The passing event may
have no relation what ever to the
problem in itself, yet may often
often suggest to the wide-awake
mind the way out of the difficulty,
at which the best board of directors
in the land may we'll balk.
The minor notes in ones life are
full OF resources and that man is
fortunate whose range of observa-
zion and capacity to appropriate are
ever on the alert. Somehow or
other. things come to the mind that
is watching, and do not come with
in sight of those who are half asleep.

DANGER IN MATCHES.

Don't play with fire nor allow
those about you to endanger them
selves by careless handling of
matches.
Every day, tragedies resulting
from persons having trified with
flames are reported. Among the
most recent is the case of a WiscOn-
sin girl who is said to have played
with lighted matches and, as re-
suit, sustained terrible burns. The
surprising feature of her case is the
fact that she is young lady of
fifteen years, an age at which the
proper amount of discretion should
be developed.
It is shown by this that young
children are not alone in their de-
sire to submit to the destinations of
flames and many older victims are
recorded among the list of those an
nually claimed. 1t 10 deplorable
that lives should be snuffed out for
a simple lack of good judgment and
exercise of common sense and,
along with the warnings to avoid
dangers of the water, should be
coupled the admonition to beware
of the tortures lurking in the in
nocent match heads.

Finnish Honesty.

Russians all over Russia are glad to

.'they never steal, and nothing has to

For fifteen whole days he would not
enter those dull offices on the seventh

The last was the best part of it, for
Bess had gone to the country at the

Up at the house there was a case Of

DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL
CONVENTIONS.

In Wisconsin next year the choice
of delegates to the national conven-
tions of the several political parties
will be made not as heretofore, but
at an election to be held the first
Tuesday IN April. The method is
prescribed in a statute enacted at
the late session of the Legislature,
which forms Chapter 512 of the
laws of 1907. The general conduct
of this election will be the same as
that of election of judges of the Sn-
preme and Circuit Courts.
Prior to the election nominations
of candidates for delegates are to
be made by nomination papers in
the manner provided by law for
nominating candidates to be voted
for at general election.
On entering the booth in their re-
spective precincts the voters will be
given an official ballot made up of
the several party tickets securely
fastened together, with the names
of the general candidates alphabet
ically arranged on their respective
party tickets. After preparing his
ballot the voter IS to detach it from
the party tickets which he does not
use, fold it and vote it, depositing
the remaining tickets in blank
ballot box, provided for the purpose
the contents of which, without ex-
animation, are to be subsequently
destroyed by the inspectors of cleo
ion. ~ sa..
The four candidates of each POI
4it1cal party for delegates-at-large
receiving the largest number of
votes will be delegates-at-large.
The two candidates for delegates
receiving the highest number of
votes in each congressional district
will be district delegates.
During the time between the cleo
tion and fifteen days prior to the
holding of the national convention
of each party, the state central COM
mittee of the party Is to meet and
select four alternate delegates-at-
large and two alternate delegates
from each congressional district.
1t will be noted that this system
opens the door for members of one
party to participate in the selection
of delegates for another party, if
they see fit an opportunity which
might under some circumstances
lead to results as embarrassing as
those which occurred at the primary
election of candidates for municipal
offices in Milwaukee in 1905. For
good or for evil, however, such is
the present law, and, like other cleo
ton laws, the public will understand
its workings and tendecies better
after it has been tried than is poss
ible at an earlier stage by merely
reading its provisions and trying to
foresee their results by the exercise
of imagination.
