Significance In Names.

In an Illinois town a workingman
having been informed that a sixth
baby had arrived at his home, ex.
claimed: Sufficient" and his neigh
bors. referring to his having given
that -SufHcient--to the new
arrival, credited him with originality.
The incident resembles a case nearer
home, adds the New York Tribune.
A New York family was blessed with
nine daughters. when the stork
brought a tenth one. 1t was in the
days when the slang term for an oft
told story was Chestnut" and as
the baby certainly came under that
head, she received the name, but for
suphony's sake the French for the
word was employed, and she was
called Marion.

CARE OF THE FLOORS
VARIOUS SUBSTANCES MAY BE
USED FOR POLISHING THEM.
Mater Should BE Employed sparin9lX
As II viii Cause the Wood to
Expand-OiI and Wax Con.
sidered the Best.

If one has been so fortunate as to
secure a hardwood floor, the Intelligent
care of 1t becomes a very important
matter and one which is not particu-
larry difficu If a little thought and
attention are given to the subject.
Various materials are employed for
this purpose, but the processes are all
similar. namely, that of rubbing the
surface with some sort of an oil or
wax. In general, 1t is safe rule new
err to apply water to the surface of a
nice floor, at least not in sufficient
quantities to wet the fiber of the wood
to any extent, because all wood, even
oak, is susceptible to moisture and to
the extent to which the fibers expand
they Will dry afterwards and gradu-
ally cracks will appear in the boards
II something has been spilled on the
moor so that It Is absolutely necessary
to wash 1t, this should be done with a
cloth wrung out Of water. For tn"
most part, however, oil and wax IN
some form are the proper cleaning
and polishing mediums. 1t is said that
equal parts of sweet oil, turpentine
and vinegar, well mixed and we'll rub
bed into the floor with cotton or wool
en- rags, is a highly successful method
of treating a polished oak floor. The
acid in the vinegar cuts the dirt and
CRIME that works into 1t from shoes,
the sweet oil gives luster and the
turpentine dries It, There are any
number of articles on the market that
are advertised for this purpose, and
some Of them are very effective In
testing any new brand of wax or other
application, it is well to try 1T first of
all on small portion of the floor in
some inconspicuous part of the room.
A weighted brush is great advan-
tage though more or less expensive.
A piece of plank covered with Brus-
sells carpet is not a bad substitute.
The abovenamed mixture does not
need to be applied to the floor oftener
than once month, and about once
year a coat of good floor wax should
be we'll rubbed into the floor.
The application of varnish to hard
wood floor is a modern method of fin
lshlng. The old:time method being
that Of rubbing them with wax, and
very beautiful surface may be thus
produced. provided the floor has first
had thorough coating with paste
hller which fills up every pore and
crack and makes perfectly smooth
surface

lBenevolence is a great thing. When
you have benevolence you cannot rest
until you do something to make other
people feel grateful to you. The other

WHITE STORE OPENING
WAS A BIG SUCCESS
Estimated That Eight Thou
sand People Were on
Hand.

The opening of the White Store YVES
one of the most successful affairs of
the kind ever held in this city. 1t is
estimated that in the neighborhood
of 5000 people entered the store be-
tween the hours of 80 and 10 o'clock.
In fact, the crowds were so great
that the entrance to the store was
closed several times to prevent, a
crush inside The 1000 roses that were
ordered were exhausted within an hour
and a half.
The opening of the White Store was
the topic of conversation among the
crowds on the street, Every person
who saw one of those American Beau
ty roses asked where it came from and
was informed that it had been given
away as a souvenir at the White Store.
Opening Pleases Thousands.
The result was that the crowds from
all parts of the city became so dense
that at one time there was a line of
people extending all of the way to
Sibley street, who were waiting for
their turn to enter the store
And the compliments that were Civ
en- the management were so numerous
and so profuse that there can be no
question of the success of the new
store.
Manager J. J. Cohen received a large
box of chrysanthemum from Marshall
Field & Co. OF Chicago. Many of the
representative business men of the city
and their wives were present to con-
graduate the owners on the suspicious
opening of the new store.
There were so many new and beauti-
full things on display that could moi
be seen on account of the crowds thai
all this morning and afternoo npeopls
have been going through the store fol
the purpose of inspecting the goods.
