gument Of attorneys for the trustees
was that the trustees were not re-

made out; also that there was pro-

Ice Sport For Danish ChiIdren


In Denmark one of the favorite
forms Of exercise on the ice is game
wherein the skaters can have their
fun and also the tots who prefer to
ride upon sleds.
A large pole is fixed upright in the
middle of the frozen pond, and a cross
beam is attached, the whole affair be-
ing kept from toppling over by means
Of large wagon wheel, through whose
hub the upright pole is thrust and
which lies fat upon the ice. To the
end Of the longer section of the trans
verse beam a string of sleds is at
tached. and then eight or ten Of the
large lads and lassies begin to skate in
a circle, pushing the beam around
with them, while the little fellows
climb on the sleds.
Around and around they go, faster
and faster, amid shouts Of delight, un-
til the string Of sleds is flung out
across the ice like the lash Of long
whip. 1t often becomes necessary for
those who are furnishing the motive
power to slacken speed in order to let

An African and a Boa Constructor.

At M'Geta, German East Africa, a
native who, like all those belonging to
the tribe of the Waluguru, regarded
snake flesh as an especial delicacy
found huge boa constructor lying in
the middle of a field. He confided the
discovery to one or two others and ar
ranged with them to kill it during the
hours of darkness, so that they might
enjoy the delicacy together. Toward
nightfall the man, armed with a stick,
attacked the huge serpent. The boa
constructor, aroused from its apparent
torpor, suddenly seized the unhappy
negro and slowly crushed him to pulp
and then gradually swallowed him.

Every Price Should Have a Reaso

Every Price Should Have a Reason.
1t must be remembered always that
1t Is not the price of an article which
is important. but the reason for the
price.
The bankrupt stock. the fire sale, the
manufacturers remnants. the annual
clearance, the removal sale. the disso-
luton Of partnership sale-what are
these and many more but arguments
for the price? And note this one point
that without the argument the price
Is powerless. Reduce fur lined over
coats from $1UO to $50 ard your liberal
discount attracts little attention. Why?
Because there..is no reasonable expla-
nation for the reduction. Why should
you present overconts to the public?
But announce that owing to an ex-
piration Of your lease and the impera.
tive command that you vacate your
present store within two weeks you
will reduce the price Of your fur lined
overcoats from $100 to $50 and you
may sell easily all you have to offer.
Instinctively the public sees the whole
picture-the proprietor's anxiety, the
inevitable removal, the iessening days,
the final sacrifice and the store full Of
eager buyers, quick to seize such an
opportunity This is only half the
reduction previously considered. But
one is business without imagination,
and the other is business with it,
