FREE PREMIUM DEAL.
Get-Rich-Quick Concern Put Out OF
Business by Postal Department.

Verify, fishing is good for the catch
ers of gudgeons and the various other
kinds of suckers. They are caught Of
every class and kind, and so numerous
are they that the post office depart
ment Of the government pays ouC
thousands of dollars monthly to pro-
tect them. But whether it is worth
while to keep the brainess persons
from parting with their change is the
question. Yet it is one of the be-
nign features Of our government ma
chinery to protect children, women,
fools and incompetents in general, and
as far as possible punish those who
make any department Of government
the means of defrauding them. Re.
Gently fraud order was issued
against a New York city mail order
concern, claiming to be dealers in
any kind of merchandise" 1t had
been doing an extensive business, and
in the possession of the New York
postmaster when the order went into
effect were 5000 letters, each OF
which was supposed to contain SS
cents to pay packing charges on
premium, very valuable, beautiful
silver fruit dish, gold lined, and guar
anteed quadruple silver plate" These
articles had cost the concern 80 cents
each. The letters in the post office
addressed to the company were in
response to circular which in
formed the lucky" person that you
answered premium offer some time
ago, and we have just completed the
list of the fortunate ones who may
receive presents, and are now ready to
ship them. Your name is on the list,
and this notice is sent that you may
claim the present" Then the gen.
tie touch of SO cents was made to
cover expense of packing" This is
only one of hundreds of similar con-
Germs which cause the post office de-
partment great annoyance, and the
unsuspecting heavy losses.

understood. What rules to-day may
undergo a change tomorrow The

Impressed as Postman.

Gesticulating wildly, determined
faced man at Euclid and East Eighty
ninth street the other morning ran
after Union station car with the air
of man who is anxious to overtake
what he is after.
Even the conductor recognized that
the man seemed to want the car to
slow up and he pulled the bell cord.
Perhaps the man wanted to catch a
train, the conductor thought. Every
once in awhile one will find a conduc.
tor with almost human traits.
In moment the man had caught UP.
"D'yuh go by the post Officer" he
yelled, in a hoarse voice that be.
trayed his emotion.
"Sure!" shouted the conductor.
Jump on
But the man, instead of climbing
on, handed the conductor a letter.
"Just drop that in when you get to
the post office, will yuh?" says he.
And then he turned back up the
street.
The bell rope, being a strong one,
did not quite break when the conduc-
tor gave the signal to go ahead

Now, it's little singular, but when

l squashed him right down to the

might say, but was trile confused.

I wanted to do was to get away from

"And that's the reason, I reckon,

STORES A NECESSITY.
Small Retailers Fixed Permanently a.
Factors In Social Life.

There arr pessimists who view with
alarm the evolutionary forces at work
in the business world. These people
of narrow views solemnly announce
that within a few years there will be
no place for the small retailers, that
the so-called country merchant will be
driven out of business, and will be sup
planted by large concerns that will
have the trade which is now divided
among a dozen or more small stores.
Some of them go so far in their dole
full predictions as to predict that the
business of the country will be trans.
acted in the larger cities. and tnat
the country town shall become
thing of the past.
These woeful prophets fail TO take
into consideration the force of natural
law in the social and the business
world. They are illogical enough not
to weigh the relationship of economy
to trade conditions. Trade, like light
ming or like water, follows the lines
of least resistance. Citizens and towns
exist upon economic foundations. On
the virgin western plains a small col
ony of settlers seek homes. The
wants and necessities of these set
tiers must be supplied. The result is
the establishment 9f store at a cen.
tral point in the new colony. This
store becomes the nucleus of town,
city in embryo. AS other settlers
come in, the town grows more impor-
tant, new industries are established,
local government is organized, roads
radiate from the place, banks and
other financial institutions are estab.
llshed, and here we have a thriving
town created.
This town exists because there is &
necessity for it's existence, and this
necessity is the working out Of
economic laws. Wherever communi-
ties exist, tradesmen will exist. They
are necessary part of the social and
business life. They are necessary
agents in the distribution of COM

cialism, and they cannot be sup.
planted by any other system. Large
stores of the department kind
may grow up. They are also neces-
sity and are revolutionary in char
acter, but there will ever remain
place for the small store, it matters
not how large the city or how small
the town.

HAS LONG HISTORY
THE KISS IN ANCIENT AND MOD
ERN DAYS.
Originally Part Of Religious cere.
monial-IceIand Has Severe Laws
Against the Practiee-Easter
Salutation In Russia.

In the remote ages people saluted
the moon, sun and stars by kissing the
hand. 1t was the custom of the earliest
Christian bishops to give their hand to
be kissed by the ministers who served
at the altar. The custom soon de-
clined, however as a religious cere-
mony, but it is still continued as a
court ceremonial, the kissing of the
hand of the sovereign being regarded
as mark of the highest favor in most
of the kingdoms of Christendom, says
the New York Tribune.
1t has long been a matter OF history
that the beautiful and fascinating
duchess of Devonshire bribed with a
kiss many a reluctant voter in the
famous Westminster election, and the
equally beautiful and bewitching
Lady Gordon, when the Scottish regi-
ments had been thinned by cruel re-
verses, turned recruiting sergeant and
TO tempt the gallant lads placed the
recruiting shilling in her rose-red lips,
whence he who would might take it
with hiS own.
In Finland the women consider a
salute upon the lips as the greatest in
suit, even from their own husbands
There was time when it was the GUS
tom of English duelists to kiss each
other before firing This piece of
hypocrisy was satirized by John Wes-
ley in his Journal, under date of June
16, 1853, recording duel between
two officers at Limerick: "Mr. B. pro-
posed firing at IL yards. Mr.. j. said:
No; six is enough So they kissed
each other (poor farce) and before
they were five PAGES asunder both fired
at the instant"
Mohammedans on their pious pill
grimage to Mecca kiss the sacred
black stone and the four corners of
the Kaaba. The Romish priest on
Palm Sunday kisses the palm. There
is curious tradition about the origin
of kissing the toe of the sovereign
pOntiff. 1t is said that one of the Leos
substituted the toe for the right hand
as the object of salute because his own
right hand had been mutilated by mis-
adventure and he was too vain to ex-
pose the stump. In Iceland kissing is
severely repressed by the civil laws,
and the consent of the woman to the
salutatiOn does not release the male
transgressor from the liability to
heavy punishment. In Russia the
Easter salutation is kiss. Each men,
ber of the family salutes each other.
Chance aCquaintances kiss when they
meet. Principals kiss their employees,
the general kisses his officers, the Off.
GERS kiss their soldiers, the czar kisses
his family, retinue, court and attend
ants, and even his officers on parade,
the sentinels at the palace gates and
select party of private soldiers.
Eastertide in Russia is a carnival of
bread and cheese and KISSES" while
Japan knew nothing of kiss until the
Americans entered the country. In
| England and America still survives
the custom of kissing under the mis-.
tletoe at Christmastide, which is one
of the happiest forms of kissing known
to civilized nations.

Unwise Competition.

There cannot be a doubt but that
competition stimulates trade; but
trade Ia the natural outgrowth of CIV
ilization and found it's origin when in
telligent man discovered that he had a
few wants, and that they could be sup
piled by commodities others possessed
and which he did not have himself
and that he had a surplus of things
that he could trade for articles others
had and which he needed. Thus it can
be seen that want demand, supply, all
go to make up that which is the life
of trade. Competition is merely an
indication of mans ambition to ex-
Gel his neighbor, to gain more in bar
ter and trade than what would in
ordinary channels come to him. 1t is
merely to seek, to reach out after
things desired. From the fact that 80
per cent. of those who engage in the
mercantile business fail, it seems
more appropriate to say that competi-
ton, unhealthy and not directed by
sound Judgment, instead Of being the
life of trade, is one of its fatal dis
eases.
