SMILING AND BROWNING.

Some women were discussing stores
and how they liked to trade at this
store or that, and how they didn't like
come other store or stores. At some,
there was the most ready disposition
to please and pleasant attention
given to the desires of the customer.
At others. this was not so apparent
and sometimes there was really a
moody temper exhibited. II don't
like to trade there" said one, ION ac-
count Of this apparent cooi indiffer-
ence. ! like to trade at -, she
said; there the salespeople are so
nice and accommodating Then the
little cleavage presented itself. arising
no doubt from the difference OF dispo-
sition exhibited at the counters. A
mere man overhearing such converse
tion naturally arranges the facts so as
to produce an explanation or to gather
therefrom a bit of practical wisdom.
and In this case he did not have to go
far to reach a measure of success. 1t
was always the manager of the store
that came in for touch OF criticism,
and as Just and careful as he might
be. was his temper and disposition
that permeated the entire establish
ment. When he frowned the store
frowned; when he smiled the store
smiled.-Ohio State Journal.

WOMAN TELLS STORY
OF INTENSE SUFFERING

At the age of about 40 years, I was ae-
tackled with hemorrhage of the kidneys or
bladder which continued for several years
without a check. I finally took advantage
of your generous offer and procured .
sample bottle of Swamp-Root. Believing
it helped me, purchased a fifty-cent bot
tie, which convinced me that it was help
ing me. Three other bottles cured me. In
two or three years, over-work brought my
ailment back, but one bottle stopped it.

The government did a-fine, thing
when it established the information
bureau of the Department of Com
MERGE and Labor, and that bureau has
done a good work in the two and one
half years of its existence, In that time
5000 immigrants have been directed
to farms by this bureau. and the bu-
reau chief, Mr.. Powderly, tells us four
fifths OF them have remained on the
farms and are acquiring homes and
completeness for the future, making
useful citizens of themselves and con-
tributing to the sum total of wealth
in this country.
But the good work does not end
there-the bureau finds that these
new farmers have written back to
their native countries, inducing rela-
tives and friends to come to the United
States with what money they possess
and invest 1t in farms
Here is the most practical applica-
t!on OF the much vaunted slogan
Back to the farm" This is effective
work, not only for the immigrant, but
for the best interests of our OWL
country, which today, as never before
demand that the tide of migration be
turned from the city to the country
AS for the alien, who is com
ing to our shores In such numbers
every year, 1t is work of practical
philanthropy, for it saves him from
the disadvantages which fall to his
lot in the crowded city and places him
out in the free, open farming districts
that offer excellent opportunities FOL
him and his means, however small
they may be.
This movement is but in its infancy
and in a few years, at the rate it Il
progressing. the United States is Ger,
tain to reap tremendous results from
it. 1t may yet prove tina ultimate so
luton OF the farm problem and bear
vitality on the matter of the cost Of
living.

Rural Mail Service.

Writing to a Chicago paper. q
former rural mail carrier protests
against what he terms the proposed
contract system OF handling this mail.
He understands that the government,
in it's determination to cut down the
postal deficit, has decided that it can
effect a vital retrenchment by award
ing the delivery OF rural mail to the
highest bidder, and he sees in this
gross injustice to the carriers engaged
in that service. He views it as re-
turn to what is called the old star
route, which he conceives to be a
means OF increasing the patronage Of
congressman. but not improving the
mail service.

Talks for people who sell things

should, be filled with doubt as TO their
future value. There Is cause for both hope
AMI consolation. too. in the suggestion that
just as fast as the signs have Increased In
number has their effectiveness In attract
ing attention decreased.
II IL obvious that only when the signs
can flash or shine out OF darkness, COM
plete or comparative, that they fix the eye.
Already on several streets there are so
many Of them that they produce little
more than q general glare in which no de-
tails are visible, and while theoretically,
there will always be the possibility OF at
talning conspicuousness by means OF larger
size, greater brllliancy and more ingenious
design, the practical limits in these direo-
tons have about been reached Advertisers
should ponder well, moreover, the fact that
they do not really know how efficient these
sigus are in making and bringing business,
or even II they are efficient at all. There
are no reports Of customers who admitted
that their patronage was thus secured,
while the number of people who have
openly declared that they are indifferent
TO the illuminated appeals or find them Of
fenslve Is considerable. and It seems to be
growing rapidly.
The exact remedy for this abuse will not
be easy to find. OF course q law or ordi-
nance to the effect that electricity cannot
be used for advertising purposes would be
without justification and absurd. For lin
itins the size Of the signs there would be
no obvious excuse except regard for pub
lie safety, and though 1t has been said on
authority that some OF them are not as
strongly put up as they should be, the fact
would probably be hard to prove in many
instances. In the development and mani
restation or public sentiment lies presum-
ably the best cure for the evil. Many add
vertisers OF the sort that ''desecrate seem

The Charge Of TriokerY.


The congressman-editor Of the dem
ocratic world-Herald, who is himself
seeking the nomination for United
States senator on both democratic and
populist tickets, is naturally incensed
at the suit brought by the editor of
The Bee to stop the ballot fraud. Mr..
Hitchcock denounces this suit as IAN
attempt to trick the populist party
out of being represented on the
ticket"
That is decidedly rich coming from
the source from which it emanates.
Editor Hitchcock scarcely
week ago frankly declared in the
presence of the editor of The Bee and
several others that he could not file
for the populist nomination IL he had
to subscribe to the usual statement
that he afflliates with the populist
party. The same is doubtless true,
although they might not so frankly
confess it, of all the democrats whose
fake filings as populists have been
held up. In other words, the demo-
Gratis have been caught trying to trick
the populst party into accepting dem
ocrats as populist nominees and are
furious on discovering that they failed
to perfect their title by neglecting to
pay the filing fees required by law.
Congressman-Editor Hitchcock, him
self, further declares that he paid a
second $50 as filing fee to put him
self, a democrat, on the popullst
ticket, which goes to show that he
agrees perfectly with the view of the
editor Of The Bee that two filing fees
are necessary. He says that when he
got to Lincoln he was told he need not
have paid the second filing fee, and
therefore retained his receipt in his
pocket, but he carefully refrains from
telling that on his return home he
went to the county treasurer's Office
and tried to get his money back.
Our democratic congressman bases
his cry of trickery on the additional
fact that three years ago a republican
attorney general gave 1t as his opinion
that only one filing fee is necessary.
II republican attorney general, or a
democratic attorney general for that
matter, has misread the law, that dc es
not affect the rights of the candidates
or of the individual voters any more
than would any malefactor, Of large or
small wealth, caught violating the law
be excused by pleading that his lawyer
told him he was playing safe. The
supreme court of the state of Ne
braska has spoken since the attorney
general gave his original opinion, and
in matters of law our supreme court
is the highest authority.
The only trick" which is involved
in this whole proceeding is the trick
by which the democrats are trying
again to steal the populist label this
year as they have In previous years.
If the injunction asked for by the edi-
tor of The Bee is made permanent, not
a. single populist willing to proclaim
himself a populist will be kept of the
populist ticket 1t is the democrats
making fake filings VINO are attempt.
