The loyal employee Of any institution
will nine times out Of ten render far
greater service to the institution with
which they happen to be connected,
than the one who may have greater
cleverncss, but not be Loyalty inclined.
II you cannot be loyal, get out, and
make room for those who can. Honesty,
enthusiasm and loyalty will accomplish
far more than anything else.
We have had made four tables l6 II.

40 feet long. These will be used up

A number Of large mining orders have
claimed the attention Of the grocery de
partment this week.
We now have car of Fall and Winter
Apples on the road. These should
arrive here by Monday. These will be
extra fine, and the price so low that it
will pay you to fill your winter require
ments while you can get the varieties
that you want.
In checking extensions and footings
OF Marshall Field IL Co. invoices we
found one this week where they had
added an invoice as SlSS.S4 that should
have been sllS.S4, just 5000 too much.
We believe M. +. Il Co. have one OF the
best systems in the world, but mistakes
will sometimes creep through. We
found an invoice on another house that
carried out an extension as Sl2.S1 that
should be $500, one mistake against us
and one in our favor. We report them
whichever way they go.

Popham said that Ouitman had
found that the doing away with
the segregated districts in Des
Moines and other cities had only
increased vice, and had not, as
Cosson said, made the cities
cleaner.
1t was quite evident that Quit
mans trip had been taken for no
other reason than to give him
chance to discredit whatever At
torney General Cosson might say.
Quitman at first refused to say
who had put up the money for
the Des Moines trip, but under
pressure said that he had gone to
two members of the real estate
board and asked for the money
and it had been Immediately
Forthcoming.
The aldermanic committee
showed a total lack of interest in
where Quitman was getting the
funds for his endeavors in favor
of the tenderloin. Only Miss
Adams had the courage to ask
him.

they were taught one of the most I'M
portant things in horse-breaking.
namely, to stand tied when hitched.
This one quality is about half OF
the education of horse, and without
it no horse is properly broken.
When old enough to eat solid food,
they were fed each day, and later on
turned out to pasture, but still were
given some extra feed and their
mothers milk until ready to wean,
when they were put out in good
grazing field.
The dams were well fed, and regu-
larly worked at least eleven months
out of the twelve, if the weather per-
mitted They kept in good working
order, did good work all the year
round, and four out of five raised a
thrifty colt.
Never let colt grow to any age
and size without halter breaking him.
Hundreds of valuable young horses
are much injured in disposition by
letting them run until they are from
two to three years of age, and then
for the first time cornered in a stall
by several farm hands, which may be
a frolic to the latter, but quite the
contrary to the former.

'NWHY SHOULD | USE
CUTICURA SOAP7"

'There Is nothing the matter with
my skin, and thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True, 1t
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered 1t the standard for this
purpose, while its extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to 1t all the
advantages of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that It wears
to wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making it's
use, in practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth OF
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuticura,"
Dept. L, Boston, for liberal sam
pie cake, together with thirty-twO
page book on the skin and hair.
