Many grocers consider it useless to

pose of attracting attention. The

side heaps of perishable goods, and
fail to even use mosquito netting to
keep the flies off. One Of the most
prosperous groceries in large city
in the west made rapid progress from
a small stand to big concern in few
years. 1t was the neatness of the
place and the display of the goods, and
the promptness in looking after orders
that built up the business. This, at
least, is what is claimed by the owner.
One of the notable things about the
place is that there is nothing displayed
outside the store unless the same is in
a case. The show windows, one each
side of the door, are as carefully fixed
up two or three times week as the
windows of fashionable dry goods
store. One display will be of certain
kind Of canned goods on which the
grocer is making run. Cans will be
artistically arranged In pyramids,
stars, triangles, with a view to har.
mony in the color arrangement of the
labels Later a display of olives,
products, bacon, hams, sausages, lard,
catsups, condiments of all kinds, will
be arranged. Everything is season
able. When the berries begin to ar
rive these are displayed in the win.
dows, and sometimes the windows
made to hold whole stocks. While in
one window there may be display of
canned goods, in the other will be ar.
tistically arranged line Of meat
and complete assortments of the goods
Of some well-known house. Neatness
and cleanliness are the two principal
things to be observed in the grocery
window display There should be am
pie protection from flies and insects.
1t is necessary that changes be made
frequently And let the arrangement
of the goods in the store correspond
well with the show made in the vim

THE STORY.

THE boy was dead! In an agony of
j despair and grief the mother lifted
her face to heaven, but no word or
cry escaped her lips.
All that afternoon she had held the
little fellow and, hoping against hope,
she had watched the life ebb slowly
away, and when the last faint gasp
had come and she felt the little form
liIap and lifeless in her arms, and
knew that he was beyond all human
aid, she lifted one mute, agonized ap-
peal upward and then with bowed
head sat in the darkness and gloom
of her grief, hugging close the little
form whose coming few years before
had brought such light and joy into
the home.
After the first shock of the awful
grief had passed and the mother had
recovered her power to reason once
more she gradually became conscious
that she must do something. Precious
as the form of her boy was, she knew
that she could not continue to hold
him thus. But must she lay him
away forever? Had the joy and bless
ing of the little life come to her for
these few brief years only to be lost
forever? She could not have it so!
A feeling of rebellion arose in her
heart. How could God be good and
kind and then take away? Had the
prophet asked his God to send her a
son that he might infict upon her
heart the agony of losing him again?
Why, If God cared, had He not sent
the prophet again in the hour of her
need and kept this sad thing from
coming upon her? And then she re-
called again how through the years
she had longed for a son and how that
blessing had come in response to the
intercession Of the prophet, who de.
sired to repay her for the kindness
she and her husband had shown
towards him.
She recalled how upon subsequent
visits Of the prophet he had spoken his
words of blessing upon the little fell
low and had counseled her regarding
his up-bringing. Over and over again
he had urged her to bring him up in
the fear and admonition of the Lord,
pointing to the apostate condition of
the nation and showing the countless
evils which had come because Of the
godlsssness Of the people. And all

There is one cure, and one cure
only for capital concentration. That
is a strict adherence to simple home
trade principles. Keep in each CON-

earnings OF the people of that commu-
nifty. The withdrawal of capital from
a section impoverishes it just so much.
1t takes away the means of establish.

Of the people. Thus are towns re.
tarded in their upbuilding, and real
estate values are kept from advanc-
ing. The home market for the farm-
ers' products is destroyed, and every
interest and every person in the com.
munity suffers from the effects.
Thus it can be seen how vital It is
to the masses to understand that any

BUSINESS EXPERTS.
Every Merchant Should Be One If He
Intends to Meet with Success.

During recent years number Of
self-styled business experts have come
into existence. They are apparently
the outgrowth of the advertising
school. They are business-builders
men with ideas, and ready to dispense
services at so much per dispense. One
of the reasons why this class of experts
exists is the lack of proper business
education on part of merchants. We're
the average retailer the well-informed
man that ne should be there would be
little field for the business specialist.
It behoves the business man these
days to be in the front rank of the
well-informed or he Is likely to be in
the front rank of bankrupts. There is
hardly a underground. One may be
a plodder for while, but it sooner
or later becomes evident that the re.
taller or the jobber or the man in any
branch of business who does not keep
up to advanced methods is supplanted
by some one more enterprising. It is
only necessary to study the failure re-
ports of any Of the large commercial
agencies and the cause of disaster can
easily be discovered. 1t is the knowI-
edge of these truths which encourages
the business experts. But strange as
it may seem, these men who are spe-
cialists and know all about how to
run affairs of someone else quite often
lack the ability to properly and sue
cassfulIy conduct business for them.
