HOLMES GETS MAD, BUT
SOON CHANGES TO SMILES

Everything was cut and dried, but Bud
Holmes didn't know it, AS it was, he got
mad when members of the produce exchange
raised a rough house and hurled books and
onions like a cyclone about the floor during
the call yesterday morning.
Bud raped for order, but 1t was the day
before Christmas, and all through the house
smashed onions close to the callers head.
Bud threw down the mallet and quit, red of
face and at heart.
j.. j. Mathews president Of the exchange,
rushed to the secretary's rescue and finally
brought order out of chaos long enough TO
demand an explanation of Chester Thomp-
son, chairman of the egg committee, who
had started the rough house.
''Mr. Thompson, 1t becomes you to apollo
gize to Mr.. Holmes for your disgraceful con-
Duct" he said
Thompson affected drunken man in ap-
pearance and speech and said that as Christ +.
mas comes but once year it Is only right
to celebrate and that an apology was not
necessary.
Thompson was as serious as a drunk when
trying to appear SOBER Then, stepping to
raj voice and throwing of the drunken af-
fectation, he said:
1--WE, the members of the produce exchange,
appreciating your services as secretary and
caller, wish to express our appreciation in a
substantial way. and therefore we present
you with this ring
Poor Bud turned hundred eolors, and his
face changed to smiles as he accepted the
ring-an exquisite article. made of old gold,
set with a diamond, ruby and sapphire.
with his initials engraved on top.
There was no business done after that. and
the hour of the call was given over 10 a gne-
eral good time.

pun's Review

NEW YORK. Dec 24.-R G. Dunn &
Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow Will
say: Retail sales have been large, both of
holiday goods and staples. but seasonable
dullness is noted In jobbing and wholesale
Zines
Fall river mills and some other mauufac-
turing plants closed from Thursday night
to Monday morning, but many shops had
too many orders on hand for an extended
lay off
The output of iron and steel is steadily in
creasing Blast furnaces at Gary have been
added to the active capacity this week
Little change occurred In prices, most
commodities rising where any alteration is
found
Aside from the complaints from the south,
attributed to the low prices OF cotton, trade
reports indicate much greater activity than
a year ago.
Retail trade in dry goods was not large
at the east, but very favorable reports are
received from the west.
The brief squirt in export trade was not
maintained, no further interest being shown
by China, while the only new business Is In
small orders for prints from Manila and
South America.
Moro lines OF woolens have been opened
with fairly good results
steadier tone Is noted In packer hides
and country stock is also hrmer.
Cattle receipts have decreased, and sea-
sonable deterioration in quality Of hides Is
NOT accompanied by a corresponding de-
cline in prices. on the other hand, foreign
dry hides arc weaker

Recipe for a Political Campaign.

Take the roots of several ripe ques-
tions and cover them well with equal
parts of fudge and dead beets. Add
one modicum of sense and number
of great scoops of nonsense. Some
of the more fastidious often add a
pinch of progress, but this is not abso-
lutely necessary. Stir in some care
fully selected verbiage strained
through a rhetorical colander. Beat
vigorously until the enthusiasm rises
to the top, and then drop in hand
full of candy-dates.
1t is then ready f/r the griddle,
which is best made in the shape of a
platform constructed from well-worn
planks.
Now let the whole thing boil and
bubble for several months. If 1t should
not rise we'll, add newspapers. When
it is at white heat, garnish literally
with long green. Now let the steam
off and set aside to cool. Preserve
In alcohol for future use.
A political campaign should be
served in gum shoes, and should also
be taken with grain of salt.-Suc-

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Should list of the ingredients of Pc

he would be Obliged to admit without
reserve that the medicinal herbs COM

standard and well-tried catarrh reme-
dies. Second, well-known and gener-
ally acknowledged tonic remedies.
That in ono or the other of these uses
they have stood tho test of many years.
experience by physicians of different
schools. There can be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna Is composed of
some of the most efficacious and uni
versally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
Of the human system as require tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
OF Peruna has a reputation Of its own
in the cure of some phase Of catarrh or
as q tonic medicine.
The fact Is, chronic catarrh is dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic cntarrh. They have visited doc
tors over and over again, and been told
that their case is one of chronic catarrh.
It may be Of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach or some other internal organ.
There is no doubt as to the nature OF
the disease. The only trouble is the
remedy. This doctor has tried to cure
them. That doctor has tried to pre-
scribe for them.
No other household remedy SO uni
versally advertised carries upon tho
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection Of the critics.

POULTRY DOTS.

Be sure that the growing chicks
are not crowded in their coops.
Clean the hen house floor and put
in three inches of clean sand. Sweep
the walls and ceiling and cover both
with coat of whitewash.
Dispose of all the cockerels that
will go to market this season before
the end of October The longer you
keep them the less profit you will
make.
AS the supply of bugs and worms
grows less, feed more beef scraps and
cut fresh bone Chicks and fowls
must have meat food.
Save good supply of dry leaves
for use as scratching material in the
poultry house during the winter. 1t
is the cheapest material for the pur-
pose that you can get.
Feed plenty of corn when you fat
ten the cockerels; it will assist to
give their shanks and skin the yellow
color desired by most customers.
Look under the roosts where they
rest upon their supports and see il
you can find any little red mites. If
you find them, paint roosts, supports
and the adjoining woodwork with one
of the brands of liquid lice killers

Busy Missouri Acre.

One acre in Missouri we'll fertil-
ized, has produced 600 to 500 bushels
of onions in season. Onions al
ways are in demand and at good
prices. Tomatoes are favorite
specially with men engaged in truck
gardening near Kansas City, because
of the high price they bring in the
early spring. The Brus farm, on
Blue Ridge boulevard, 10 miles east
of the city, sends tomatoes to the
hotels at $3.50 and s4 bushel. These
are grown from hot bed plants. AS
soon as one crop is picked another is
ready. At the lower rate of $3.50 a
bushel one acre of tomatoes would
give an income of $1,050 year. Take
off enough ground to grow the varied
vegetables needed for che family and
enough will remain to give the inten-
sive grower of tomatoes 5000 or $1,000
in year. If he made only half that
much it would be more than he could
save in the city.

Herkomer and His Father.

A beautiful story is told somewhere
of Sir Hubert Herkomer, the great
painter. His father was poor man,
and the professor brought him from
his native land of Germany to live
with him in his beautiful home near
London. The old man used to mold
in clay in his early life, and now that
he had leisure he took to it again in
his old age. But his hands trembled
and the work Ihowed signs of imper-
fection 1t VS. his one sorrow. At
night he went to bed early, and when
he had gone his son would go into
the studio, take his fathers poor work
and make it as beautiful as possible.
When the old man came down in the
morning he would look at the work
and rub his hands and say, "Ha! l

SOUTHPORT GLOBE ONIONS.

Connecticut's famous Southport

among popular American varieties
of the onion. They are in high favor
in some of the finest commercial
onion growing districts of Ohio and
New York and during a few years
past have made a steady advance in
standing everywhere as highly bred,
perfect onion. Eastern onion growers
use the red and white Southport
Globes to produce the exceptionally
large, solid, beautifully formed bulbs
that bring top prices in New York

Besides the two varieties named,
