Every Price Should Have q Reason.
1t must be remembered always that
it 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 price2' And note this one point
that without the argument the price
is powerless. Reduce fur lined over
coats from 500 to $50 and your liberal
discount attracts little attention. Why?
Because there Is no reasonable expla-
nation for the reduction. Why should
you present overcoats 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
viii reduce the price Of your fur lined
overcoats from 800 to $50 and you
may sell easily all you have to offer.
1nstincdvely the public sees the whole
picture-the proprietor's anxiety. the
inevitable removal. the .lessening days,
the dnal 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.

and more immediate reduction. The
campaign was made, and the candi-
date Of the dominant party gave as
his keynote this demand for a down.
ward revision, his opponent, Of course,
going him one better. On that issue
the first named candidate was elected
and took his seat Immediately he
called special session Of congress to
revise the tariff and in his inaugural
address said in effect that revision
meant reduction. In this stand he
had not only the approval Of his party
as expressed at the polls, but well
nigh the unanimous support Of the
press, resolutions from associations Of
farmers and business men, practically
all organized workingmen and at least
one great group Of manufacturers.
The popular branch Of congress, In
which tariff legislation must originate,
brought in bill that, to some extent
at least, revised the schedules down
ward. And now this one man, this
senator from the smallest state in the
Union, defies the president Of the
United States, who is also the head
Of his, own party; defes the other
house Of congress, defies large in
surgent section OF his party in the
senate, defies the party platform, de-
fies the press, defies public sentiment
and by some means that are mys-
terry to the, whole nation gets enough
votes, either from his own party or
the other, actually to revise the tariff
upward. There has been hardly any
thing like 1t In American history.

A year ago it was said that Mr.. Al
drich would retire at the end Of his
present term, which closes on March
4, 1911. The ostensibIe reason given
was his age, which will then be sew
enty. The real reason was said to be
that he saw growing revolt against
his leadership and would retire be-
fore overthrown. Throughout the ex-
ira session that revolt has been strong
~ in evidence, but not strongly
enough materially to affect results.
But with the Roadway that it has
gained in his own party there is no
predicting what size It may assume in
the elections two years hence. The
significant remark In Secretary Mac
veagh's Chicago speech to the effect
that the president as leader of his
party might find it necessary to
change it's majority and control" was
generally understood to refer to Al
drich and others Of his kidney, SO that
If he does step aside it will only be
out of the path of the storm. But all
of that will be too late to affect this
tariff bill. On that it is now fairly
certain that the Rhode Island senator
will have his way. Nor is it probable
that the president will veto 1t, how
ever deeply he may feel on the sub
tect. The general view is that he will
get the best he can and let it go at
that, believing that to prolong the
agitation at this time would but dis
turb business. That will by no means
end the matter, however. The wounds
left in this fight will be long in heal
ing, and that talk Of changing the
"majority and control'' may prove no
idle threat.

HosuitaI "Boarders,"

''There is class which gives every
hospital in the city whole lot OF
trouble. especially in the winter time"
said member of the faculty of the
Pennsylvania hospital. "It is made up
of what we call STEADY boarders,
meaning men who have no homes, who
are too lazy to work and who feign
illness in order to secure comfortable
bed and good food for week or so
at time However, we have devised
a scheme which is quite effective in
driving them away When one of these
boarders arrives on the scene we can
usually spot him. We know the ear
marks of the species. He is taken into
the receiving ward, sclemnly un-
dressed and laid upon the operating
table, where a fake examination takes
place. The trouble is finally located In
the spine, and an immediate operation
is advised. The patient writhes, pro-
testing that he feels much better, but is
not permitted to leave. Meanwhile a
piece of ice has been sharpened to a
point and suddenly. without warning,
the ice is drawn down the boarder's S
back. With a yell he is off the table,
out of the room and out Of the build
ing. We throw his clothes out after
him, and he never comes back. Phil

plaasures of Trout Fishing.

Catching trout is not the only thing
that makes fishing a mountain stream
worth while. The early morning ride

pleasant to a degree wholly missed by
those who take their rides later in the
day. During the early hours Of the

Every leaf and spear of grass by the
roadside sparkles with dew, and the
forest is pungent with pleasant and
health giving odors that are dispelled
as the sun rises above the treetops and
dries the moisture on leaf and twig.
AS you drive quietly along you may
have the good fortune to see deer
browsing in a roadside clearing. He
stands watching you for moment or
two, then turns quickly and with
graceful leaps disappears among the
trees. An old fox steps out into the
road and trots boldly along ahead OF
YOU for some distance, but when he
discovers that you are gaining on him
he turns for an instant, shows his
teeth with a snarl and then sinks
awav into the bushes. Farther along

Progress of Women.

There is no question that the up
rising of women, which is more or
less active in all parts of the world,
has grown out of the gradual but
steady decline of the men. Within
the last four centuries of the worlds
history, alcoholic liquors, tobacco
and all the enervating and narcotic
drugs, with the single exception OF
opium, have come into general knowl-
edge and use, and, as consequence,
because they are chiefly used by men
there has been a growing enervation
and degeneracy OF the men, VINO are
falling more and more under the con-
tempt of-the women.
Men were made physically stronger
in order that they may support and
protect the women and children.
Woman, blythe facts OF her constltu-
ton and existence, is necessarily the
keeper of the home and is most prop
erly dependent upon the man. But
when she sees in too many instances
that the husband and father is
miserable drunkard and the sons ana
brothers Wretched loafers there is no
wonder that she feels there is some
thing wrong in the social organization.
1t is a mistake to claim that tne
women are naturally all good and
pure, and that where they are other
wise they are made so by the men.
Descended as not few are directly
from depraved aid degenerate men
it would be strange if there were not
women who had inherited the evil
qualities of their fathers, and it is
a grievous fact that this is the case.
Moreover, women are largely affected
by environment, and born as are some
amid scenes of misery and vice and
kept among such surroundings, how
CO n it be possible that all could or
should be pure and good New Or
