THE STORE BUYER.
Ills Task Of Selecting -Good SELLERS"
II n Hard One.

Who ever has had difficulty in de-
gliding which OF two or more articles
on counter he will purchase may
be able to appreciate the task which
confronts the buyer OF n stock Of mer-
chandise, says writer in Golfers.
The numbers OF varieties offered fos
selection are almost beyond belief. In
the toy department OF large whole
sale house the following figures were
obtained In regard TO the goods actual
ly being shown at one time In the SAM
pie rooms
Magic lanterns. $50 varieties: boats.
300 varieties; horns, 1000 varieties
Christmas tree ornaments, 2,O00 vari.
eties; dolls, 10000 varieties
In gathering the assortment OF
Christmas tree ornaments II was nee
essary 10 deal with $50 manufactur-
ers throughout Europe, and the selec-
tion OF 1000 samples represents only
traction OF the samples submitted
by manufacturers.
When II is considered that almost
every person uses dishes at three
meals a day and that the prices OF
plates may range from few cents
each to $1,000 or more set, II ig not
surprising 10 learn that the same
wholesaler would display In his sam
pie rooms over 100000 varieties of ar
ticles in china
The buyer has within such ranges
OF variety opportunity TO make or
break" the patronage of store by
the wisdom he uses In making his Sc
lections.

THE DEATH OF COL. w. SCOTT
ROBERTS.

The death of W. Scott Roberts.
which occurred at his home In Cen
treville, Md. on Wednesday morning
last, will recall very prominent
figure OF our town during the early
years of the Civil War. He was a
member OF the bar. and also editor
OF what was known then, as the
Western Maryland Democrat" now
the Democratic Advocate" He also
organized company OF state Militia,
the "Smallwood Infantry" Of which
he was captain. The company was
disbanded by the federal authorities
during the early part of the war. and
a number OF the members OF the COM
pany went south aud joined the Con-
federate Army. Among them was Mr..
Edmund O'Brien. who became Captain
of Company A, First Regiment Of
Confederate infantry. and who was
brave and skillful oflcer.
Many of our older citizens will re-
member Col. Roberts pleasantly He
was man Of courteous and genial

friends in Westminster. when he was

A FIGHTING wHALg.
Made spliniers Of the small Boats and
Sank the ship.

Among the tales OF the whale hSh-
cry told by John r. Spears IN The
Story OF the New England Whalers"
Is that OF the loss OF the Ann Alexan-
der OF New Bedford. This chip was
on the offshoro grounds" west OF
Chile and Peru. when on Aug. 20. 1850,
pod" OF whalerh appeared, aud three
boats we're lowered, Captain John 8.
DebloiH going IN one OF them. The
mates boat soon struck one Of the
pod" but the monster instantly turn
ed with Jaws open. and the men fed
overheard just IN time 10 save their
lives A moment later the whale bit
the boat To pieces.
Captain Debloih at once pulled In,
picked up the boats crew and shifted
part OF them to the second mates
boat Then both the captain and sec
ond mate started TO attack the whale.
which had been busy meantime biting
at the pieces OF the boat II had de-
stroyed. In the usual course a whale
thus engaged would not have noticed
the approach OF the boats for a sec
ond attack. but this one had It's eyes
open. and II turned 10 meet the enc
my more than halfway
Rushing forward with force and
speed that no boat could escape, Il
grasped the second mates boat, as II
had that of the mate, and literally
made kindling wood OF H. ;
When Captain Deblois had once more
picked his men from the sea he head
ed for the ship. and when there be
sent the mate 10 gather up the oars
and ouch other debris as might have
escaped the fury OF the whale. In his
view It was his duty to fill his ship
with oil and not to whale for glory"
as persistence In fighting a whale OF
this kind was sometimes called.
The mate, however. was of more
reckless disposition. He managed to
get within range OF the whale and
thrust a lance into H. Unfortunately,
however. he failed to reach vital
point. and the whale, ignoring the
small boat, made dash at the ship.
He struck her abreast OF the foremast
and crushed In her side. She sank 30
quickly that the crew was unable to
secure anything, and they would have
perished speedily In their open boats
but for the fact that they were picked
up by another whale ship.

Telephones FoIls Horse Thieves.

A cool-headed farmers wife, who
knew enough to telephone while her
husband was exchanging pistol-Bhots
with two horses thieves near his barn,
aroused a posse that chased the
strangers away, perhaps saved the
farmers life. This little incident. a
striking demonstration of the use
fulness of the rural phone, occurred
recently at Union Corners, near East
Chester, n. Y. John Gruber,a wealthy
farmer grabbed his revolver when he
heard noises outside, and opened fire
ON the intruders he saw in his yard.
Mr.. Gruber owns some valuable trot-
ters, and had already been aroused
by the frequency of horse thefts In
Westchester county.
Mrs Gruber Immediately called up
Fishers Hotel. 1t took vey little time
for Gustav Fisher to get out his shot
gun and collect posse. The men
pursued the thieves, but were unable
to catch them. Luckily the bandits
did not hit Gruber. The farmer says
he saw trail of blood leading away
from his barn, and is certain at least
one of his shots took effect.
What would have happened to this
farmer and his wife, had they not been
protected by the telephone, one can
only conjecture. A bullet would un-
doubtedly have reached Mr.. Gruber
but for the timely arrival of the aid
summoned over the wire. Farmers
know that without a telephone they
are practically helpless In case OF
this sort. The rural telephone has
outliyed the stage where II has been
q luxury, or even something very
handy to have about the house. II
Is a necessity In every rural district
for protection, for business, for social
life, and for education

ing at nine o'clock. All pupils are
urged to be present, and the trus-

Our school is little late in open
ing this year, but still there are
bright prospects for a most success
full year. The high school feature
has been added, the building i'm
proved by the addition Of two large
rooms, and another teacher added to
the teaching force. Prof. w. F.

experience along this line. will con-
duct this department.

RECEIVER FOR ICE COMPANY.
MIR. w. C.. Wolfe is Given Charge Of
Orangeburg Concerns Property.

Orangeburg, Sept. 28.-On the petit
ton of some Of the stockholders OF
the Crytal Ice company, Judge Dantz-
ler has appointed w. c. Wolfe, ESQ.,,
receiver for that concern. The order
puts the receiver in full possession OF
all property of the company and re-
strains the prosecution Of any suits
against it. The receiver Is also autho-
rized to borrow $500 to pay current
expenses and for needed repairs.
The Crystal Ice company Is said to
have had precarious existence as .
manufacturing plant for some time.
and it's service here has been the
cause of serious complaint against It.
It has a monopoly of the Ice busi-
ness here. Mr.. NJ. P. Skinner, the
president and manager, has been
away for some time, leaving the em-
ployes to run the concern as best they
could on very limited means and 1t Ia
rumored that the financial condition
of the company is not satisfactory to
some of the stockholders, hence the
receivership.
