 Rev. A. E. Bartlett, pastor of the Church of the Redeemer, is another who does not hold the same views about dancing as does MT. Van Meter.
 Dancing has been practiced for 5000 years" said Rev. MT. Bartlett. "and I think it is about time we were becoming used to it

Flat DweIIer Proves the old Saying That Necessity Is Mother of
 Invention.

We are told that necessity is the mother of invention, and one feminine fat-dweIler is willing to take lot of credit for her own particular achieve ment- With two big wardrobes and a closet to her bedroom she was yet without room for her big hats and dresses. There were hats to the left of her, hats to the right of her-and dresses likewise
 So she conceived an idea It is nothing more nor less than an under bed wardrobe and an underbed hat box made in the form of long flat box mounted on four wooden wheels. The wardrobe holds several dresses that can be packed away full length without crushing. It is easily slowed away, and being fitted with brass han dles at the sides and front. it Is quite simply wheeled from under the bed when wanted.

 carry thousands and thousands
 of Americans into the great
 ports of the old world. Most
 of them pay a good round price for the service, although there are some people who go in the steer age rather than miss the trip. But there are many American college students and perhaps some others who go to Europe and who do not worry ahead of time about cabin quarters or staterooms. They are the fellows who work for their passage on cattle ships.
 Without a doubt the experiences of one who crosses the Atlantic as a cat tleman are unique. Twenty or thirty years ago a man was paid from $50 to $60 together with all of his ex- penses to cross the ocean as a cattle man. but now there are two men in Boston who are getting rich charg- ing college students $5 to get them positions (for want of a more approp- riate word) on cattle ships. The boys get no more for their services than their passage and board.
 Having been assured that we would have to rough it'' and have lots 0f work to do, college friend and went over to the Cunard docks in East Boston on beautiful morning. There we signed up to work for our passage as cattlemen and to get accommoda- tons same as the seamen.

 There were 400 cattle on board. The ship carried 70 first-class or cabin pas sengers and. according to our friend. the Scotchman, the cattle were second class and we were third class.

Movable Stores.

When a movable store strikes a
town it is a calamity to the mer-
chants of that town, and to the entire
community, worse even than the
mail order houses, for the goods they
offer as bargains are all of the cheap
John variety, made cheap to sell
cheap, and delude the ignorant pur-
chaser, who finds out, when too late ,
that he has exemplifed the old adage
that the fool and his money are soon
parted, and that without value re-
ceived. When the movable store
moves on it takes your good money
along with it. never to return, and

the schools end churches, his eternal
fight for a better town increases the
value of all farm lands, and yet the
stranger comes in and swipes the

license of at least $500 should be
placed on these migratory business
institutions, SO that they might be
compelled to bear their rightful share
Of the cost. The REPUBLICAN always
stands by its home firms and its home
people, even if reciprocity, as in our
case, has but one side, knowing that
