A LIBERAL OFFER.
its Effect Upon the Customer to Whom
1t Was Made.

1t Was Made.
A business man of Dayton. O., tells
this story of some commercial friends
of his:
A customer who bought in a small
way from the wholesalers and whose
credit was not of the sort known as
gilt edged visited the city and pur-
chased a $500 bill of goods, paying
$500 in cash and giving his note for
the remaining $500.
After the transaction had been closed
and the paper and currency had chang
ed hands the customer said:
"Now, after deal of that size it is
customary to give a purchaser pres
ent. Come across with it."
'We1l throw in a pair of suspen-
ders," laughed the salesman temporiz-
ingly.
"a pair of suspenders. eh! Say. quit
fooling. really mean it. expect you
to do something in acknowledgment of
my patronage"
The salesman went to the manager
with the problem, and the manager
said:
"Well. if he feels that way about 1t
we might encourage him bit. Well
do something that ought to please him
greatly. Give him back his $500 note,
Make him a present of his paper. That
will make him a cash customer and
raise his credit and save him money
besides"
The salesman went back. pleased to
be the bearer of such joyful tidings OF
liberality in business.
'Well. sir" he said. we've arranged
about that present. all right. Here, y
with a flourish, sis your note. We give
it back to you"
The customer did not seem enthusi
astic. Instead. without looking at the
note he asked:
els it indorsedT
mo" said the salesman in astonish-
ment.
"Then I guess you better gimme the
suspenders.'' said the disappointed Gus

NOTHING will do more to bring defeat to
the Republican candidates than the foster
ing of an idea that the battle is already
won and that the question was settled at
the primaries. The Democrats are not
going to rest content with that idea. Their
candidate for senator is at work and he in
tends to capture as many ballots as posi-
BILE, not for the purpose of getting COM
plimentary vote, but because he hopes to
be elected. The voters must be on the
alert and must keep on the move from
now until election day. There need not
be any hesitancy about choosing between
Griffith w. Lewis and Richard P. Hughes.
Mr.. Lewis has shown that he is competent
to fill the Office of State Senator and ii
will take more than ridicule, sarcasm and
personal feeling to secure his defeat. he
win prove worthy successor to the able
gentleman who has recently stepped out
of the Office.

IT is reported that Governor Fort will,
in his annual message, renew his recon-
mendation for the appointment of pur-
chasing agent who will buy the supplies
for all of the state institutions. If such
an agency should be established it is to be
hoped that something more tangible will
appear than has resulted from the action
of the Board of Freeholders in appoint

the county institutions. About all that
the committee has done so far is to have q

WITH his genial smile and his hearty
handshake Blanchard 81. White Is greet
ing the voters of the county and in return
is getting promises of support all along
the line. He was the high man in the
primaries and he will be at the top in the
election. In the assembly halls he may
be depended upon to work for the benefit
OF the people. Mr.. White has nice law
practice and he owes his present position
to the fact that he has been attentive to
his business and has been fair and square
with all with whom he has had business
relations. The same principles that have
aided him up to the present will guide
him in his political career.

David Belasco's drama, "The Girl of
the Golden West" will be on view at the
Burlington Auditorium, on Monday,
October rs. The piece comprises some
of the finest achievements of its producer
as a playwright and stage director. The
scenes are laid in mining camp in the
Sierras, and the story involves the love
of a highwayman and sheriff for the
girl, proprietress of the Polka saloon and
dance hall, the efforts to arrest the high
wayman and his final escape. success
full play always attracts great attention.
An unsuccessful one is taken from view,
its properties placed in the storehouse,
and that's the end of it. A play that can
interest New York for two years must
necessarily be considered not only a
success, but a great success. This is the
record of David Belasco's offering, ''The
Girl of the Golden West"
