the east side line, where all the towns
are small.
At various places the crew, with the
help of town marshals, tried to dis
lodge the unwelcome passengers, but
their superior numbers overcame all
opposition. At Exeter an effort was
made to get rid of the crowd by
switching their car to a siding. The
hoboes deserted their old quarters and
took possession of a fiat car in the
train.
Word was then sent to the sherif's
office here and the train crew was or
dered to leaves it's accustomed run
and come in by Visalia. Several Ex-
eter officers came on the train and
together with the sheriff, marshals,
constables and deputies here made up
a force of 16.
The leader of the tramps was a fell
low with both legs cut off about the
knee, and armed with a pick handle
he started to force a way for his gang
through the phalanx of officers.
Revolvers were drawn by the off,

rendered. The bunch was incarcer-
ated in the county Jail, to be released
later In squads Of three and four, until
the ringleader was left. He will be
tried for disturbance.

True Principle in Advertising,

According to the most careful esti-
mates, the volume of business done by
the mail order houses in the United
States amounts to more than one bill
lion of dollars annually. When 1t is
considered that 20 years ago there
were no mail order systems of bust
ness as now known, and that since
then the plan has been developed, 1t
becomes evident to the thinker that
there is magic in advertising, for it is
by advertising alone that the mail
order business has been built up. It
would perhaps De fatal for the small
merchant in the agricultural cities and
towns to follow the plans, the distort-
ed and exaggerated advertising meth
DDS of the department stores and the
mail order houses. Yet there is a prin-
ciple in advertising that ever holds
good. This principle is as sound for
the little merchant, the dealer in any
kind of wares, as it is for the biggest
concern on earth. In fact, the great
business houses generally had a small
beginning, and by publicity pushed up
to the front, writes D. M. Carr.
Did people of agricultural sections
fully realize how the millions taken
to the large cities by the mail order
system causes them a direct injury,
1t would not be long before these con-
Germs would be out of business.

Pointer for the Merchant.

A thing that is more or less a con-
slant source of annoyance to the gen
eral storekeeper, as well as his patrons,
is the matter of arranging goods so
that there is the right kind of dis
play, protection for the goods from
dust and dirt, and all arranged with a
view Of ready access. 1t is necessary
that there be places for hundreds of
different articles. Go into some stores,
ask for a certain thing, a clerk may
take several minutes in looking it up.
Not long g a man called at a general
store and asked the proprietor for
some small wax candles to be used
for ornamentation purposes. The
storekeeper said that he had them.
Then commenced a search of the
premises. Corners were looked into,
boxes examined, and no candles found.
The s~torekeeper was positive that he
had them in stock, and finally after an
hours search found the candles stored
away in a small box under the counter.
1t required an hour of valuable 60
time to find ten cents worth OF can
dies.
The up-to-date merchant will have
a place for everything and everything
in its place, well displayed and easy
of access. In the grocery store there
| should be bins and drawers, shelves
and cases for all the stock. Store fur.
niture manufacturers are continually
devising improved means of caring for
stocks and displaying the same. But
1t matters not how perfect the store
arrangement in the way of furniture
and fixtures, there must be system
employed. Sales are lost every day
by not having goods arranged rightly.
The buyer of groceries dislikes to go
into a store where there is a barrel of
sugar uncovered affording a feast for
the flies and a stopping place for the
dust; neither does the man have his
| appetite for cheese or other like things
whetted by seeing the arrangement
suggestive of filth.

To Hold the Turnover
Collars and Stocks

A collar case to hold the turnover
collars and short stocks that are now
so much worn may be quickly made
from galatea, In inch wide pink and
white or blue and white stripes.
Have cut for you two pieces OF
heavy cardboard Is inches long by six
wide, and paste over it on both sides
a single sheet of cotton wadding
which has been s%prinkled with sachet.
Cut your galatea about an inch
wider all around than the board and
paste it smoothly to the outside OF
each piece, turning In the edges on
the wrong side and drawing it very
smooth and taut.
Use photographers paste and keep
the board under pressure all night.
On the inside of each haste a
smooth piece of white taffeta lining,
turning in the edges neatly and max
ing certain that there are no wrinkles.
Hem this to the galatea in tiny
stitches.
Have two pieces of inch and a quar-
ter wide satin ribbon each a yard
and an eighth long. Double each
piece and overcast it to the backs of
the cardboard two inches from either
end. Do the stitching on the wrong
side, taking care that the ribbon is
sewed at exactly the same place on
each piece of board or the sides will
be uneven when tied in bows.

Striking Effect in
Irish Crochet Work

In the new application of Irish
crochet the woman who likes to do
fancy work that will produce a strik-
ing effect without too much labor has
the means at hand. The expert work
er will make the patterns herself and
produce new designs. while the more
amateurish one can unpick the pat
terms from the old pieces of valuable
lace that have become too worn for
use.
Irish crochet, a%ppliqued, as it's name
implies, consists of patterns of Irish
crochet lace appliqued on Brussels
net. The net, which must be the best
procurable, is cut to the required
shape, then a coarse thread is darned
through the mesh of the net about
one-eighth of an inch from the edge
all around. This line represents the
Strengthening line used in ordinary
Irish crochet lace and is worked over
in the same way. On this ground
work of net the patterns are appli-
qued by arranging and lacking them
carefully in place, and afterwards sew
ing them neatly all around on the
back of the work.
Many women possess old pieces OF
Irish crochet which regretfully are
cast aside as u~nwearable on account
of the filling having worn away, as
this is the portion that always wears
out first. If they will examine the
lace they probably will find many of
the patterns still are good and can be
given a new lease of life by unpicking
from them the remains of the sur
rounding filling and after carefully
cleaning them applique them. Heavy
Irish crochet lace is not so suitable
as the lighter makes, and the finer the
net the lighter the lace patterns must
be.
For a bolero, Jacket, or dress the
strongest make of Brussels net is the
best. Care must be taken to have the
patterns perfectly clean before apply
ing them to the net and to keep the
work from fingermarks in the process
of making. This easily can be done
by keeping a small piece of tissue pa
per between the fingers and the work.
Long strips of lace or insertion should
have the finished portion rolled up and
incased in paper as soon as it is
worked. In this way it will be kept
free from dust and look as clean and
crisp as it should when finished.

THE LAWS OF COMMERCE.
Consumption of Products in Accord
ance with Fixed Principles.

1t is useless to fight for innovations
and reforms that are not based upon
logic and sustained by sound princi.
pies. There Is too much of the super
fetal in evidence in the work of many
who undertake to better commercial
ter than to ignore the laws of gravity
IN his calculations. The reformer is
foolish to set about his work with an
idea of disobeying any known natural
law. He is sure to meet with failure.
There are conditions in the CONNER
is in accordance with requirements
of the people, and these requirements
are according to other relative cir
cumstances. AS our civilization ad-
vances new demands manifest them
selves. While a hundred years ago
the people were satisfied with certain
commodities, it was because other
things known to US did not exist. The
expenses Of living keep relatively the
same. We have statistics that show
the average requirements of a certain
class of people, We know to a GER
tainty how the average runs. We can
not tell how much a single man will
spend for living during a year, but We
do know the average that each in a
thousand or two thousand men will
spend, classifying them as to occu-
patton and earning capacity. There
fore it stands to reaso that in every
community the amount OF trade is in
accordance with the population and
the classes of people composing the
community. 1t Is useless to argue that
trade can be increased by certain
methods. A certain merchant by adj
vanced methods may increase his
trade, but as he does so some one else
loses proportionately. Reformers and
business-builders should bear these
facts in mind, and not get their wires
crossed"

GENERALLY OF POOR GRADE.
Sales Of Cheap Jewetry by Mall
Amount to Miilions Annually.

The report of the sales of one large
mail order house showed nearly a half
millions Of dollars worth of jewelry
and silverware sold annually. Take
the total OF all the jewelry sold by
the mail order system Of business and
1t is likely to amount to fully $25, 000,-
900 to $50, 900, 900 annually.
If the people could be made to I'M
~derstands what kind of stuff in the
watch and iewelry lines is generally
sent out by the mail order houses they
would be careful in buying. The
guarantee of these houses amounts to
little. regardless Of the billions OF dol
lars Of capital they may have en-
ployed In the business. All the guar
antee binds them to do is to supply
a new case If the one does not wear
for 1.-The 20-year period" Not one
case in M thousand, even though they
do not last five years, are returned
to the concern for exchange. The
cases are generally lowest grade,
and made to order for the concerns
Not long since the manager of one of
the catalogue houses called upon a
large watch manufacturing concern.
By the way this company would not
sell the company it's own trade-marked
watches unless there was an agree
ment not to cut prices. However, be-
fore the manager left he had agreed
for several thousand watches to be
supplied them. Those watches were
of a certain grade, were sold at prices
lower than good watches could be as
sembled and tested. These watches
have the special marks of the on
Germ, but not the name.
In rings, emblems, all classes Of
5ewelry, the mail order kind is the
cheapest. Should something of a SUI
perior character be listed. it will be
noted that prices are al high as the
local dealer asks. In silverware is
where the catalogue house gets in its
fine work on patrons. Plated ware
is generally sold according to the
amount of silver, the weight to the
piece or the dozen pieces, used in the
plating and the. amount of carved
work, etc. Like other goods, the mail
order house handles a class Of ware
that is lightly plated and inferior to
that which is handled in the regular
stores.

Cooperative Systems Weak.

Advocates of cooperative enter
prises point to the great success of a
few English societies. Glowing re-
ports of how great are the savings to
the people by these cooperative or
CARNATIONS are given. But here the
law of compensation plays a part.
While the cooperative methods are ex-
tolled, few who are active in coopera-
tive work show the other side pf the
question. II some cooperative enthusi-
asst would dissect the report of the
London board of trade. recently made,
it would be found that since these CO
operative societies have gained such a
foothold more than half a million
workers in various lines have been af-
fected adversely; that those thrown
out Of employment by cooperative ef-
forts are objects of charity and are a
burden to the different trade guilds.
The substitution Of one store for a
hundred may mean economy. but when
thousands are thrown out of employ
ment by the system what other field
AFFORDS them q living?

NOT AFRAID OF WILDCATS.
Miss Wilson Killed Two on Her Tour
of Inspection of Schools.

Camp Crook, S. D.-Miss Mary Lee
Wilson has just completed her annual
inspection of the schools Of Custer
county, Montana, of which she is ST.
~perintendent. She drove nearly 800
miles alone in zero weather through
one Of the toughest regions in the.
west, and on the way killed two Wild
cats and shot at other ferocious wild
beasts. Custer county is enormous in
extent, and it lacks railroads. but Miss
Wilson is a western girl with the blood
Of the plains in her veins, and she says
she likes her work.
Miss Wilson procured a light rig
and set out from Miles City in a snow
storm. Down along the Tongue river,
in the southwest portion of the county,
she drove, stopping at night at some
friendly ranch, and driving by day
from one school to another. At each
of them she greeted the teacher and
pupils with a smile. Over a national
forest she went to the Powder river,
encountering and killing there two
wildcats, and then she journeyed
south of the Lone Pine national forest
to this point. From here she drove to
Ekalka, Mont, and from there on
home.

Baby Iron Now the Thinq.

Up-to-date Miss Boston numbers
among the necessities Of life a baby
ironing board and an iron or two. This
Is because of the evil ways of the
killed skirt. The killed skirt needs
constant attention. 1t is very beauti
full when well pressed and very ugly
when out of shape. To sit down in a
wet pleated skirt is fatal to it's Lines,
and to see the ruses which women in
street cars use to avoid doing this,
especially when some gallant gentle
man arises to give up his seat to one,
is very amusing. The skirt of the day
isn't easy to press, but given an iron
ing board, a moderately hot iron and
plenty of time, it can be done.

"TIT FOR TAT" SOCIETY.
Jessie Was to Darn Jim's Hose and He
Was to Shine Her Shoes.

Jim and Jessie were twins, as much
alike as two peas in a pod, with this
awful difference-one was a boy and
the other was a girl. While Jim was
small enough to wear long curls and
pinafores, you really couldn't tell
which was which; but when he got rid
of his curls and went into trousers,
everything was changed. He began
to put ON lordly airs and to order Jes-
sic about. Jessie opened her blue
eyes at first in establishment; she
never thought about the trousers, but
though she was only a girl, she had
plenty of spirit and would not be i'm
posed upon.

COMBS AND PINS.

The plain a~mber-colored combs and
pins for the blonde girl, and those OF
dark shell for the brunette, are en-.
tirely correct this winter.
The combs are smarter when made
with plain tops, without knobs or 9th.
er decorations.
The button pins are used where
the hair is worn on top of the head.
The top part Of these pins turns back
over the hair in a fat piece of shell
like a large button.
The effect ia very good.
For keeping flying ends of the hair
at home are shown corkscrew pins
of amber-strange1ooking things that
screw into the hair spiral fashion, SO
that it would seem that they never
would come out again.
But they are, in fact. comparatively
easy Of adjustment.
