While President Roosevelt is try
ing 10 find ont about the matter OF
wages and workinRmen Il might be
well for him to take counsel OF that
wise and patriotic Democrat Hon.
William L. Douglas, who just before
he was elected governor of Massa-
chusetts in 1904 said:
~ believe the day is 81 hand when
the workingman can no longer be de-
luded by the cry of protection. OF
what possible interest can IL be TO
q workingmsn out OF job and out
OF money 70 tell him that the country
is growing greater. grander and
richer under the Republican policy
of protection? What be wants il
work, steady work. with enough
monev on pay day to settle the neces-
ssry bills for the support and educa-
ton Of his family. and at the same
time have something left to lay away
to provide against old age and sick
ness. Look around you and see
what q very small percentage Of
working people are enabled to do
more than plod along. with little hope
and no provision for the future.

 Asafoetda and rosin by the barrel; sas- safras root bark, senna and bay leaves, sulphur and chicken grit" by the car load; carbolic acid and olive oil in 50-gal- lon tanks: these are a few of the less im- portant staples always to be found in wholesale drug house. To the man accus- toned to thinking of these by the ounce or pound or pint, these quantities appear incredibly big, but tho wholesaler thinks of them as a mere trife. "Our stock is rather low in these things just at pres- ent," he says apologetically, when asked about them. We are just in the dull season, and haven't increased our supply recently"
 There has been a pronounced falling off in the patent medicine business in re- cent years, has there not?" the manager was asked.
 "Yes-there has not!' was the reply. Guess how much our reserve stock ln- voiced at this year." Haven't the slight est idea" Well, 1t amounted to the mod est little sum of $5o,000, and we are aug menting 1t daily. People must have their patent medicines, science or no science. We have enough nostrums here to curo everybody in Missouri and Kansas of all conceivable ailments, if they do as advef- tieed. They demand 1t and we sell 1t to them so everybody is happy" What are some of the novelties in drugs you handler" This might be novel; ty to you,'' was the reply. "See this vial?

Over here Is the famous anttoxin for diptheria Speaking of antitoxin reminds me of a curious incl dent that happened recently. The daugh- ter of a wealthy Missouri business man was attacked by acute diptheria. We were wired to express a quantity of the anti toxin without delay The train we sent it on missed connections at Harrisonvile, an the father of the girl had to charter a spe- cal train to carry it on its way. It got to it's destination in time to save the giri's life. but that package, no bigger than n4 hand, cost the girls father s250 in traf nortation charges.'

CHAPTER III. "Handsome Dan.D

Standing in the middle of the road, watching the dust cloud that trailed he fast disappearing motor car, Mr Maitland cut a figure sufficiently for lorn and disconsclate to have distilled pity from the least sympathetic heart.
 His hands were thrust stiff1y at full arms length into his trousers pockets; a rumpled silk hat was set awry on the back of his head; his shirt bosom vas sadly crumpled; above the knees. to a casual glance, he presented the appearance of a man carefully attired Il evening dress; below, his legs were sodden and muddied. his shoes of patent leather. twin wrecks. Alas for launtiness and elegance alack for ease and aplomb!
 tTricked, observed Maitland. cas- ually. and protruded his lower lip, thus adding to the length of a counten- ance naturally long. "Outwitted by a chit of a girl, Dammit"
 But this was crude melodrama. Real izing which, he strove to smile: sor- ry failure.
 Handsome Dan,' quoted he; and cooking his head to one side eyed the road inquiringly. Where in thun- der d'you suppose she got hold of that name?'
 Bestowed upon him in callow col lege days, 1t had stuck burr-like for many a weary year. Of late, however, its use had lapsed among his acquain- tances; he had begun to congratulate himself upon having lived it down. And now it was resurreeted, flung at him in sincerest mockery by woman whom, to his knowledge, he had never before laid eyes upon. Odious appella- tion, hateful invention of an ingenious enemy
 Handsome Dan,' She must have known me all the time-all the time was making an exhibition of myself. Wentworth? I know no one of that name Who the dickens can she be-"
 If it had not been contrary to his code of ethics, he would gladly have raved, gnashed his teeth footed the dance of rage with his shadow In- deed, his restraint was admirable, the circumstances considered. He did nothing whatever but stand still for a matter of five minutes, vainly racking his memory for a clue to the identity of Miss Wentworth.
 At length he gave it up in despair and abstractedly felt for his watch fob. Which wasn't there. Neither, investi- gation developed. was the watch. At which crowning stroke of misfortune the timepiece must have slipped from his pocket into the water while he was tinkering with that infamous arbureter-Maitland turned eloquent ly red in the face.
 The price" he meditated aloud, with an effort to resume his pose, lis a high one to pay for wave of gray glove and the echo of pretty laugh"
