Live and Let Live.

We cannot understand the charac-
ter, or the method of reasoning of
business man who apparently wants to
do all the business there is to be done
in his line, and who is worried and I'M
easy if anybody else gets business also,
writes the New England Grocer and
Tradesman.
There are some merchants who really
spend more time worrying because they
fear that competitors will get some
thing which might otherwise come to
t-,em, than they do about their own
business affairs. There is an old
proverb, or adage, to the effect that
everybody can keep fairly busy attend
ing to his own business, which is true,
and if one attends strictly to his own
business he has very little time to at
tend to the business Of others, or to
worry about it, either.
Some people do not appear to con-
slider that there has been since Eve
was created, more than one person in
the world, and that since the era of
civilization which preceded modern
times, men have bought and sold and
trafficked, that the population of the
world is increasing, and that the bust
ness of the world has extended and
prospered.
1t is impossible for one house or
one man to get all the business, and
he could not attend to it if he did.
There are some people who appear to
want the earth and we must confess
that, in a moment of pessimism, we
might say, a good many people seem
in fair way to get the earth, but in
| mr. fc of in lpai
frame of mind, we must admit that
no one ever did own the earth. There
is room for everybody and in all flu.
no doubt about it for the reason that
this as well as other things are gov.
erned by laws of nature.
1t is better for business, better fol
the community, that people should sue
coed, and it is no detriment and nc
injury in any way for man engaged
in line of trade, that his competitors
should also be prosperous. Indeed, il
is for his interest because if his com
petitors were not prosperous he would
not be prosperous.
AS we have said, this feeling or dis
position on the part Of some people
that they want it all, that they do MOI
want to see anyone else get part, il
the height of nonsense and absurdity
If, to repeat, house or an individual
should get all the business, the hous,
or individual could not do it justice
Live and let live, is good rule to g
by. Never mind who enters the com
petitor's store, or who comes out. d.
not be envious because he makes i'm
provements in his establishment. Elk
anime your own affairs and ascertain
why it is you are not able to make i'm
provements that you desire. Stop wor
rying about your competitor and wha
he is doing. Your relationship wit
him should be that of friend, and no
an enemy.

Trimming Down the Stock.
Irrigated Apple Land

Go carefully through all departments.
First Gull out all lines that are merely
hindrances and drags on the business
small lots and big lots that are slow,
that take up valuable space, and tie
up capital which should be earning
dividends, says Southern Merchant.
These are the goods for low-price
sale quotations-the tremendous re-
duction'' items, the goods to shout
about, and that must be sold "regard-
less of cost.' The stock and the store
will be better when they are gone. And
customers will be benefited by the price
reduction.
Next put on sale price tickets on all
odd lots and broken assortments that
it is not desirable to recorder. These can
easily be dispensed with at this time,
and should move quickly at slightly
reduced price.
goods that are SO near in price, style
weight or quality that the one would
easily take the place of the other. Put
these on sale; push them consistently
and see that salespeople do their part
in selling them.
With all these goods properly placed
for quick selling, how does the stock
looks
Lightened by perhaps one-half, and
with little judicious filing in of
sizes, colors or weights it will be. in
better working trim than it has been
since the beginning of the season.
Little good, however, will be done if
active work is abandoned right here
Here the work begins. 1t should let up
only when the last piece has been car,

Uncl Joe Cannon once had an anus
ing experience at the hotel where he
dined daily during his stay in Wash
ington. One day he. glanced over the
bill of fare and feeling too tired to
worry about selecting his dinner, tossed
aside the menu and said to the waiter:
"Bring me good dinner" With this
he slipped substantial tip into the
walters palm in advance. The expe.
rience proved absolutely satisfactory.
Each dish was in the nature Of sur
prise and the whole dinner was excel
lent. The speaker adopted the same
course of procedure on the following
days with like result. Toward the
end of the term as he was leaving the
hotel one day the waiter was helping
him on with his overcoat, when he re-
marked in an earnest, confidential
whisper, "I beg your pardon, sir, but

JUDGE DEFINES WIDOWS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Judge Guy,
in the Supreme Court this afternoon,
enumerated the various meanings gil
ven the term grass widow" saying
that some persons hold that it signi-
fed a divorced woman, others that it
merely meant a woman temporarily
separated from her husband.
He added perhaps one might better
define the two states as sod widow"
meaning bona fide one and a grass
widow whose husband is living
apart from her. He made the dis
tinction at the Curnen separation
case hearing.
