Attract Women to Your Store.

1t is very unfortunate that the re-
taller, speaking generally, does not
appreciate the value Of local advertis-
ing. 1t would seem as though am
bftion should dictate the enlargement
of ones business, and to many mer-
chants such result is easily attained.
The way to do it is quite simple.
1t is well known that women are
the best buyers and, as rule, the
goods they buy are the most profit
able. To attract them your store must
be magnetic, i. e., clean, neat, stocks
we'll arranged and the goods appeal
ing to them prominently displayed.
Doing this is properly classed as
advertising, but it must be backed by
intelligent well-informed and court
eous clerks to make the sales. After
having accomplished this reform, y
then by all means contract for a regu-
lar space in your local papers and
place your advertisement in advance.
Arrange the copy for frequent
changes, make the matter and make
up attractive and be sure to refer to
the seasonable goods at the proper
time.
If such simple course is followed
the result will be pleasant surprise
to any merchant who has not been a
believer in publicity. The good mer-
chant realizes that he does not have to
cut price to make sales. There is an
easier way to make business and keep
profits in these times. The rule is as
simple as can be-advertiSe and sup
port your announcements with an at
tractive store and courteous treatment
of customers.

A Few Inconsistencies.

A house divided against itself can
not stand.
Taft and Sherman, the timid reform
er and the stubborn reactionary on
the same ticket.
Temporary Chairman Burrows
snubbing Roosevelt and permanent
chairman Lodge clarifying him in the
same convention.
Publicity of campaign contributions
rejected, although previously demand
ed in the Presidents message and in
corporated in the Crumbacker bill,
when it passed the house month ago.
Postal savings banks Endorsed in
the platform, although killed by Re-
publican leaders at the session of con-
gress just closed.
A declaration for tariff revision
within four weeks after a Republican
congress had spurned it.
A pretended declaration against
government by injunction in the plat
form and a candidate who invented
government by injunction standing on
the platform.
An Endorsement of Roosevelt for
his progressive policy and platform
from which progressive planks are
excluded by an overwhelming vote.
Such are some of the evidences that
the Republican party is in the throes
of internal strife. 1t energies from
its national convention as a cripple
from a hospital, patched up, it is true,
for the time being, but cripple never

Cost of the Big Stick.

Today ends the fiscal year. The
figures show approximately that the
Roosevelt Administration has achiev-
ed deficit of $60,000,000. The re-
ceipts for the year as compared with
the previous year have fallen off 1884,
100000; expenditures nave increased
$S0,000,000 being even greater than
during the time of the Spanish war.
We are keeping up a war stride in
time of peace. 1t was no fault of the
Administration that disbursements
were not heavier.
Having reached a financial position
where the complete dissipation of the
surplus in the Federal Treasury is
within hailing distance and the neces-
sity for increased taxation foreshad
owed, we are airily assured by the
party in power that there will be no
change of policy. Old-fashioned no
lions of equal taxation and economic
administration are out of date. Econ
omical administration be hanged"
is the cry of the hour. I'VE must
have a standing army of 100000 men
and a two-ocean navy with which to
protect our coasts and confront the
powers"
How much longer the people of the
United States will shut their eyes and
stand responsible for this sort of
costly vanity is yet to be determined.
They are feeling the pinch and are do
ing some thinking.

Democrats Favor Publicity.

The New York Evening Post having
referred to the campaign contribution
bill as "mysteriously done to death in
Congress- The Tribune explains that
after being passed In the House over
Democratic opposition it was killed by
Democratic opposition in the Senate.
And yet The Tribune is pretty intelli-
gent and open-minded for a Republic
can organ. An unprincipled liar how
ever, could not have given an impress
sion more utterly false than that which
The Tribune Intentionally conveyed
In order to defeat the excellent bill
of Mr. Mccall the Republican leaders
annexed to it a totally irrelevant prop
osition for reducing the representa-
ton of the South in Congress. In that
shape, of course, the Democrats at both
ends of the Capitol opposed the bill.
The Tribune understands as well as
anybody that what they opposed was
the disfranchisement of the South
The proposition to compel publicity in
the matter of campaign funds was
favored by all the Democrats.

Cheap Dinner.

We may boast of our soil, our cline,
our free institutions, our limitless ma
tural resources, our pluck, and all
that, but as soon as we no longer en-
joy the advantage of cheap foods we
will fall behind in the race for in
dustrial and commercial supremacy.
In the rural districts foods are yet
cheap, but not in the urban, and today
the Englishman enjoys a cheaper
breakfast than the American, and one
that is just as good. The reason Is
not far to find. All the world may
send to England bread, meat, poultry,
fish, butter, cheese, eggs, vegetables,
fruits, and game free of customs or

nation.

Two men from Hagerstown went
into the Baltimore ticket Office of the
Western Maryland Railroad about 1.3O
o'clock Saturday. This was 80 min
utes before closing time, and the force
of clerks was trying to get through
with it's work and leave on time.
The two visitors had evidently been
enjoying themselves and were eager
to get home. Going to the railing in
the Office, one yelled out quite loudly:
what time does the Hagerstown
train leave?" .+et.
& No attention was paid to him, and
after waiting a minute or two he ap-
preached closer and yelled:
tn Il say, what time does the Hagers-
town train leave?"
The clerks kept on scratching, in
different to the noise. After again
waiting short time, with no response
to his query, the disguised question
er turned to his companion and said:
"By Gosh, Bill, believe it's
secret"

BASE BALL.

The New Windsor Base Ball Club
defeated the National Athletic. Club
of Baltimore last Saturday in very
interesting game by a score of to 1.
The features of the game were the
pitching Of Loats and the batting of
the home team. Loats famed IA of
the visitors and allowed them but six
hits. Reiman for the visitors was
touched up for Is safeties, including
a home run and a three Dagger by
Spencer. Banner caught a good game
for New Windsor This makes four
games Loats has pitched for New
Windsor, allowing the opposing teams
but runs in the four games. Next
Saturday, July 4, promises to be
record breaker for base ball in New
Windsor. The strong Severn A. C.
of Baltimore will be the attraction in
double header. Morning game at
10 o'clock, afternoon game at o'clock.
A festival will be held at night with
plenty of fireworks and a band of
music to help to cheer the weary.

The Taylorsville base ball team
will open up again on Saturday, July

team says they haven't lost any games
yet. The Taylorsville team has played
six games and lost none. The Day
Stars are very anxious to play the
Taylorsville boys, so we will accom-
modate them on July at Winfield.
There will be festival at that place.
The Taylorsville boys have been try
ing to get game with the Smallwood
team for sometime. They promised
to play us on July 4, but they told
the manager lately that they would not
be able to play us. We just claim tina.
they are afraid to play us. think
they are little sore over the game
that we won from the New Windsor
base ball team. Sandyville boys beat
the Smallwood team every game they
play. New Windsor beat Sandyville,
and we beat New Windsor, so we hold
the championship We would be glad
to hear from any amateur in the State.
The Taylorsville base ball team will
hold their festival on July IL at Tay-
louisville. Everybody is invited. We
will play the New Windsor that even
ing at Taylorsville.

Men Who Work.

The demand of the times is for men
men who are willing to take off their
coats and go TO work. The country has
plenty of lawyers, and musicians, and
preachers, and editors, and others who
conspicuously fail to make two bales of
hay grow where but one grew before,
The professions are all over-crowded,
the offices are full of men who are GO
ing hungry in genteel refinement: the
streets are being worn smooth by the
weary feet of countless thousands Of
gifted and highly educated individuals
who are filed with an unspeaka BILE
yearning to accept lucrative situations,
but who never think of hunting jobs.
Every situation that involves an arm
chair is beseiged by clamoring appli-
cants. When city business man ad-
vertises for cashier or bookkeeper,
he has to have platoon of police to
protect him from the answering throng
There are too many lily fingers in the
country, and not enough hands with
blisters on them. Narcissus admiring
himself in a pool is sublime spectacle,
but Tubal Cain at the forge is the one
who delivers the goods. The good, old
fashioned hired man is a better emblem
for n country of agriculture than a
besotted eagle that feeds on carrion.
1t is n pity that there is no capable
American poet to sing the hired man;
the man of Drawn who lives and moves
and has his being in the open air; work
ing in the early morning and in the
dewy eve; contributing by every mo-
tion of his stalwart arms to the wei
fare of the nation; toiling so diligently
that night and rest come as a benedic
ton; carrying to the house at mea!
time the appetite of a .primevial man
an appetite that is worth more than he
boarded riches of a Rockefeller. Tn.
American hired man is no brother to

than he,- for his bra wn and industry ar.
always in demand. A hundred farm
ers are beckonilg to him. entrea' ing

gence of his is of more practical use
than knowledge Of the art galleries
of Europe, or ths ability to discuss the
philosophy of the ancient Greeks. And
while the. hired man goes his glad
though laborious way, besought of all
men who reed help, the cities are full
Of sad-eyed misfits who have no place
to lay their heads, and who regard the
civilization of this day as a Juggernaut
whose wheels are stained with the
blood of its victims Whereas the civil
lization is all right. but it is adopted to
the needs of workers, rather than of
resusers. = william Allen White.

Editorial Gossip
Home Newspapers

If the average merchant would calmly
study over the matter of benefits that
can be brought around by the home
paper, the editor would receive a more
liberal advertising patronage. The
country-town paper fills peculiar field.
There is no substitute for it. 1t is the
purveyor of local news, the criterion of
the degree of prosperity of the town.
Week after week the editor talks to a
thousand or more people of the COM
munity. He is the molder of public
opinion, and his paper is not alone his
own mouth-piece, but the megaphone
of the whole surrounding country.
People read daily papers that are pub
lished in the large cities for the large
amount of current general news; the
local paper is read for the little doings
in the local field. Rarely does the sub
scription list represent dollars enough
to pay running expenses. The paper
must have advertising to be success.
Let it be announced single time that
there will be an auction sale of John
Jones' live stock, agricultural imple-
ments and other wares, and see how
many will be at the auction. This
proves its value as an advertising me-
dium. Note the most successful store
keeper in any town, and you will find
he is the most liberal patron of the
home paper-Russell Record.

Husbands Quarrel Over the
Dinner Results in
Murder

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 26-During a
quarrel with his wife and sister-in-law
about Christmas dinner. William
Turner As years old. felled his wife
with a blow and in falling she crushed
under her tine small body of her ten
weeks-old son, Albert Edward. Though
the mother was not seriously hurt her
baby was so badly injured that it dieo
before it, could be taken TO a hoy-
pital.
The tragedy took place in the home
Of the Turner's. No. 2Sl9 North Rees,

had been drinking as part Of his celc
bration OF Christmas, and of the sec
ond anniversary Of his marriage. Tur-
ner had been sleeping upstairs an'

his dinner
"There is no turkey for you" re

sister-in-law, joking with him. But
Turner was In no mood for Joke and
sprang at her Mrs. Murphy fed into
the hall and Mrs Turner, who held hei
baby in her arms, demonstrated Will,
her husband.
Quick as a flash he turned on his
wife, and as she was leaving the room.
dealt her a heavy blow on the back OF
the neck. Mrs Turner tried TO save
herself from falling, but collapsed ovdr
q couch, crushing the baby under hei
