A Landseer Story.

Landseer, riding down Bond street,
London. saw the following notice in a
picture dealers shop window: "A
Fine Landseer on View Within" He
went into the shop and asked to see
the fine Landseer." The dealer. who
did not recognize him, proudly pointed
out the work. It was rather an early
one. The dealer was. of course, loud
in its praise.
and how much do you want for it?'
said Landseer.
1.-TWO thousand gulneas, sir" was
the reply.
1.-Two thousand guineas? That
seems long price for an early work"
II could not take a shilling less
said the dealer. Hes gone. sir"
touching his forehead significantly.
Hes out of his mind He'll never
paint another"
SIS he indeed?" said Landseer. I'm
very sorry to hear that" And as he
was coming away he noticed a large
picture by Stanfeld. May ask what
you want for this Stanfield?'
THAT, sir, is also 1000 guineas."
"Whatp said Landseer, touching his
forehead and initiating the dealers
gesture. rs Stanfield gone too?"

Pointer for the Merchant.

A thing that Is more or less con-
stant source of annoyance to the gen.
eral storekeeper, as we'll 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 1t up.
Not long ago man called at general
store and asked the proprietor for
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 storekeeper 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 (O
time to find ten cents worth of can
dies.
The up-to-date merchant will have
a place for everything andseyerything
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
It 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 barrel of
sugar uncovered affording feast for
the flies and 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.

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
conditions. The scientist knows bet
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
cial world that must be observed. Trade
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, 1t 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 certain
class of people. We know to GER
tainty how the average runs. We can
not tell how much a single man will h,
spend for living during year, but We
do know the average that each in
thousand or two thousand men will
spend, classifying them as to occu-
patton and earning capacity. There
fore it stands to reason 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 ad-
yanced methods may increase his
trade, but as he does 80 some one else
loses proportionately. Reformers and
business builders should bear these
facts in mind, and not get their wires
crossed"

Right Kind Of Advertising.

Not long since in a western town
of some 1000 population the mer-
chants had an illustration of what can
be done by judicious advertising. The
proprietor of clothing and dry goods
store decided that he would add
grocery department. This was met
with the disapproval of other mer-
chants in the town, particularly the
grocers. They combined and COM
menced an advertising campaign d.
rected chiefly against him. Small
space was used. They were greatly
surprised one morning to find that the
object of their attention had in the
daily paper four-page advertisement.
They were further surprised when the
weeklies Of the surrounding towns
came out with one and two-page ad-
vertisements, Offering wonderful bar
gains and to pay the railroad fare OF
those who would purchase a certain
amount Of goods. For miles around
the town large posters announced the
great sale. Other merchants of the
town looked upon the venture as fool
ish. and predicted that there was
something wrong, failure or fire in
sight. Neither happened. but in two
weeks time the enterprising store
keeper, who advertised to sell 25
pounds of granulated sugar for dol
nr, when the jobbing price was more
than five dollars hundred, provided
the purchaser ordered other goods, did
r business amounting to mora than
$4,000. or as much business as the
average small vtorekeeper does in
year. Not alone that. but he is still
doing the biggest business In the town.

They had travelled about ten miles,
and their speed was approaching 80
miles an hour when, suddenly, on a
nearby cross street, another car was
seen to be wildly approaching at fu-
rious rate of speed. A fatal crash
seemed inevitable. She clutched at
Gibbons shoulders and hid her face
behind him. The suspense was terri
BILE; but young Gibbons, with rare
presence of mind, judged the distance
and speed accurately, opened the
throttle to its widest point, and his
car shot ahead, allowing the other
car to narrowly miss his rear fender.
Ended in Cars First Marriage.
Then Gibbons gradually brought his
machine to a stop, and for the first
time during the ride glanced at Miss
Taylor. Her face was pallid, but it
was filled with silent gratitude. Be-
fore they had gone half the distance
back to the factory Miss Taylor had
learned that Gibbons was her brothers
chum at college. After the next ride,
which was taken few days later, Glib
bons was compelled to undergo the or
deal of presenting himself to Taylor
as his son-in-law.
That was the beginning of the re-
markable record of No 1865.
1t was the fate of chassis No. $50
to be shipped to Chicago and there
sold by the agent to d. o. Scott,
young mining engineer and owner,
who had come up from his Mexican
mines to spend the summer and in
cidentally some of his gold in the
states. Not many years before Mr..
Scott had been a worlds champion
bicycle rider, and he now found great
pleasure in this high-speed automobile.
After he had used his car about a
month, he received a message from
his mines stating that he was badly
needed there on account of recent
troubles with the Indians. Scott knew
that he must leave Immediately. But
during his short month in Chicago he
had met his affinity. Car No. 1865
took the twain out Hammond way one
night, and they came back bride and
