GRIZZLY IN STREET CAR,
Sudden Appearance Of Pet Bear
Throws Passengers Into Panic.

Ebenezer, N. Y.-Supervisor Henry
c. Lein Of West Seneca Is a lover of
all kinds Of animals, but the devotion
Of little grizzly bear to his master
nearly caused q panic on board an
Ebenezer trolley recently.
Mr.. Lem got bear cub from Bad
AK, Mich. He calls it Tommy. The
little bear has grown considerably
since its arrival at the Lein farm in
this place. He has grown attached
to Mr.. Lein, who is kind to his me-
nagerie, which consists of bears, deer.
elk and smaller animals.
Recently Mr.. Lem started for
committee meeting in Buffalo. The
town is not blessed with double
track system and the trolleys are
obliged to wait on siding. Mr.. Lein
boarded the car and while it was watt
ing for another car to pass there was
a commotion on the vehicle. Mr.. Lem
sat in front and was reading the paper.
Tommy entered the car He shifted
about. Women jumped on the seats
and screamed and some of the men
grew nervous.
Finally the bear singled out his
master and licked his hand with ioy.
Mr.. Lein had to get of and take the
bear home. 1t had broken its chain.
The bear has grown so big that it will
be- removed to Mr.. LENS menagerfe
at his park.

BUSINESS EXPERTS,
Every Merchant Should BE One II 10
Intends to Meet with Success.

During recent years number Of
self-styled business experts have come
into existence. They are apparently
the outgrowth Of the advertising
school. They are business builders,
men with ideas, and ready to dispense
services at so much per dispense. One
of the reasons why this class of experts
exists is the lack of proper business
education on part Of merchants. Were
the average retailer the well-informed
man that he should be there would be
little field for the business specialist.
1t behoves the business man these
days to be in the front rank of the
well-informed or he is likely to be in
the front rank of bankrupts. There is
hardly a battle-ground. One may be
a plodder for a while, but it sooner
or later becomes evident that the re-
taller or the jobber or the man in any
branch of business who does not keep
up to advanced methods is supplanted
by some one more enterprising. 1t Is
only necessary to study the failure re-
ports OF any of the large commercial
agencies and the cause Of disaster can
easily be discovered. 1t is the knowl.
edge of these truths which encourages
the business experts. But strange az
it may seem, these men who are spe.
cialists and know all about how to
run affairs of someone else quite often
lack the ability to properly and sue
cessfully conduct business for them
selves.

KEEPING FOOD DISPLAY CLEAN,
carIessness Often Causes the Loss OF
Good Customers and Trade.

The dealer who has eatables to offer
for sale to the public and finds it nee.
essary in order to appeal to the ap-
petite of the passing public to place
his display within sight of the pros
pective purchaser. thereby making It
necessary to make sideSEalk displays.
cannot afford to underestimate the
fastidiousness of taste possessed by
the average American. For the most
part the women are the buyers for
the household, and they are a choicy
bunch, too. They are prone to take
their time in looking over their pros
pective purchases, and the slightest
thing to arouse their suspicion that
everything about the store is not clean
will have more damaging effect to the
merchants business than a brick
house falling on the average man.
In catering to the women's idea of
cleanliness we believe there is but
one way to make sure and that is a
high elevation for the display of goods
It IL trup that particles sift in from
the street and cannot be kept out Of
the display, however high from the
sidewalk they are placed, but the most

USING SHOW WINDOWS.
Arrangement Of Goods to Attract At.
tention Is Not to BE Neglected.

Many grocers consider it useless to
display stocks in windows for the pur-
pose of attracting attention, The
same ones will carelessly stack up out
side heaps of perishable goods, and
fail to even use mosquito netting to
keep the flies of. One of the most
prosperous groceries in a large city
in the west made rapid progress from
small stand to big concern in few
years. 1t was the neatness of the
place and the display of the goods, and
the promptness in looking after orders
that built up the business. This, at
least, is what is claimed by the owner.
One of the notable things about the
place is that there is nothing displayed
outside the store unless the same is in
a case. The show windows, one each
side Of the door, are as carefully fixed
up two or three times a week as the
windows of a fashionable dry goods
store. One display will be of a certain
kind Of canned goods on which the
grocer is making run. Cans will be
artistically arranged In pyramids,
stars, triangles, with view to har-
mony in the color arrangement of tho
labels. Later display of olives,
products, bacon, hams, sausages, lard.
catsups, condiments of all kinds, will
be arranged. Everything is season.

dows, and sometimes the windows
made to hold whole stocks. While in
one window there may be display of
canned goods, in the other will be ar.
tistically arranged line of meat
and complete assortments of the goods
of some well-known house. Neatness
and cleanliness are the two principal
things to be observed in the grocery
window display. There should be am
pie protection from flies ana insects:
1t is necessary that changes be made
frequently. And let the arrangement
of the goods in the store correspond

There are kinds of clergymen
