to who was the cry baby then. And
you inquire of Pug Nose If he in turn
can remember how. just because his
first pair of shoes with heels on 'em
tripped him and caused him to slide
downstairs on one ear, he yelled so the
neighbors came on from three houses
In every direction to find out what the
matter was.
The memories of both Fatty and Pug
Nose, not having had much work to
do, are excellent, and the situation be-
comes bit strained. But at length
compromise is effected on the grounds
of calling 1t strike, and the game
goes on.
Pug Nose comforts himself again.
and this time you soak at the ball, for
II they are going to call everything
strike, no matter whether 1t is or not.
you might as we'll get something for
your time and trouble Much to your
surprise your bat hits the ball. and 1t
goes sailing through the air high above
Pug Noses head. 1t takes you at
least seven seconds to realize that
you've hit 1t and another seven to re-
member that 1t is now your duty to
run to first base and back before Pug
Nose can get the ball and return 1t to
Fatty. Accordingly you cast the bdt
behind you and start off for the base
like a dog with a can tied to It's tail.
You reach 1t and turn for the back
journey.
There Is great excitement. Fatty Is
yelling to Pug Nose vociferous adjura-
tions to "Chuck it homer and Pug
Nose, with the ball clasped affectionate-
ly in his right fist, Is making valiant
efforts to overtake you on the return
trip. Seeing that his efforts are to prove
fruitless, he stops and throws the ball
TO Fatty By some fell chance he
gets the right direction and the right
distance as well, and you for you
have been watching him over your
is time to slide.
AS on one memorable occasion when
you elected this method of saving the
game you wore of all your forehead.

your upper lip, you decide that this
time you will select sitting posture
as one better adapted to the exigen.
cies. Thus 1t is that the last eight feet
Of the run are covered with desiccated
patches that the toll hardened maternal
fingers had sewed on with loving care
and linen thread. And as Fatty misses
the ball anyway you proudly rise and
grab your bat and stand ready for the
next ball, albeit you occasionally cast
an anxious eye over the horizon to see
If there are any of the other sex
about or liable to be about.
AT length Pug Nose, who is getting
tired, pitches you an easy one. You
swing on 1t and land hard with the
shlngle. Away goes the ball. On and
on 1t scars, and on. while you and
Fatty and Pug Nose stand and watch

PUT ON A GOOD FRONT.
II Your Store Windows Don't Attract
Trade, What WilI2

ITauop NHdt "IbI
There Is a vast difference in the
amount of good which people get out
Of their window displays. A great
many stores don't work" their win
dcws as they should. and as Il natural
result the windows do not work for
them.
The windows must be kept alive.
They must be made to tell n distinct,
emphatic story to the people who pass
by and look in. You can't make a live
ly window without putting things there
which will attract attention and cause
people to keep watch of the windows
for interesting things.
One Cleveland grocer adopted a sim
pie plan for lively window attraction
which brings him very good results.
About Thursday of each week he puts
n big placard In his window saying:
Watch this window about O'Clock
Saturday afternoon. Don't miss it."
Then at 5 o'clock Saturday the cur
tains of the window are drawn. and
the merchant puts into the window
some especially attractive bargains. 1t
may be a choice line of sundrieS at 10
cents each; 1t may be display of ba-
nanas at n low price or in the berry
season Of berries at low figure. 1t is
bound to be something which will
move fast and attract instant attcn-
ton. People have learned to watch for
this Saturday night window, for it al
ways holds something especially at
tractive.
About the most discouraging looking
thing about a store can be its window.
A stale window, which has tired
look, indicates the same sort of store
back Of the window and repels rather
than attracts trade.

HE'S THE ONLY ONE.
Everybody but tho Travelling Salesman
OUGHT to Do His Buying at Home.


About the only class of citizen who
may be exempted from the obligation
Of buying goods, wares and merchan-
disc in the town In which he resides or
where he makes his headquarters is
the travelling commercial salesman.
Mr.. Travelling Man makes his living
by the sale Of goods to merchants
scattered over a wide territory. Per
haps Mr.. Traveller has no trade in his
home town. In the majority of in
stances travellers do not sell very many
goods at home. There are exceptions
to this rule, of course. Naturally the
salesman Is going to favor his custom
ers whenever he can. The better the
customer the more he Is likely to buy
II he finds the goods he wants. Then.
again, perhaps the house for which he
travels Is located in another city. He
Is located in another city. He is
friendly to that city and boosts that
town first, last and all the time. He
buys whatever he pleases there.

family's purchases are made at home,

The example Of the progressive little
city of Riverside, Cal, in its systematic
care of street trees ought to be fol
lowed by many other places. The first
work was done in 1904, when $50 trees
were planted by the chamber of COM
merce. In 1905 the chamber planted
1000; In 1906 the chamber planted
more, and the city took it up, the total
for the year being 1870; in 1907 the
city planted 1,500 more, and in 1908
the number was 2,170. In the short
time since the start was made the to-
tai of S,37S trees planted would make
thirty-four miles of tree lined streets,
with forty feet between trees. In his
report the tree warden, j. FL. Reed,
says, when | think of these trees as
they will be five or ten years from now
and from thence on, 1t was worth do

correspondence to Justify them in en-
