HE AUCTIoNEER's HOUR GLASS

An auctioneer of this city collects
all sorts of objects pertaining to his
nicent calling. He has among other
Kings, an interesting set of auction
er's hour glasses.
The auctioneer, a century or SO,
60, ended a sale not by saying,
Going going gone!' and rapping
he counter with his hammer, but it
vas his better method to turn up a
rec running glass toward the end Of
he bidding, and to end the sale ir-
evocably when the sands ran out.
This saved confusion. and dispute.

GOING EAST AGAIN.

Miss Kathryn Ryan Of The Cash
tore OF Blackfoot. left Thursday for
lew York City to purchase goods for
heir big store here that is constantly
rowing in popularity.
Miss Ryan makes these trips twice
year, and in company with many
Their buyers, goods are selected for
he chain of stores under control OF
ne firm, doing business In several
tates. They buy and ship In very
arge lots direct from the mills and
actories, and not only get the very
est prices in purchasing, but get the
owest rates in shipping, cutting out
he expenses and profits OF jobbers
nd middlemen by having the goods
60 direct from the mills where they
re made, to the retailers where, they
re taken over by the consumers.
Miss Ryan has had so much expert
nee in buying that she brings the
etter selections of goods, and being
lso a saleslady who knows the wants
t the customers In her locality, she
oes not load the store with goods
that do not sell. This method, cou-
led with her valuable experience, is
making business friends for her and
er firm, among the people all about
ere who are getting. familiar with
heir goods.
Miss Ryan will be gone about six
weeks.

UNITING WITH LIGHTED CRABS.

A group seated about an odorous
edar fire talked of hunting.
"Once hunted with lighted
rabs," said former consul. 1T was
the desolate region OF France called
Vendee. There Is no hunting there

IT DEPENDS ON OURSELVES.


For the past three years we have
made practice once year Of letting
people into some of the problems OF
building up modern steam laundry,
|by explaining some of the objects to
be obtained and some of the difficult
ties to be overcome.
1t is common expression that
person has to have staying qualities
to build any business up to where 1t
can be counted successful, and people
who have observed the progress OF
the steam laundry business here will
remember that it failed twice before
the present management undertook
lit, and we happen to know that they
have had occasion to regret some
times that they attempted, though
things are looking better now than
ever before.
A year ago we mentioned some OF
the new and expensive devices that
had been installed to handle collars
and cuffs, and other difficult work,
and during the year this part of their
business has grown both in volume
and in the satisfaction that it gives

short time ago they put in machine

One thing they need and are ex'
