BAILEY'S CAMPAIGN ON
FOREIGN GROCERYMEN IS
ATTRACTING ATTENTION

The recent campaign inaugurated
by d. B. Bailey of this city against
the mail order grocerymen lis at
tracing national attention. The ad-
yertisements inserted by Mr. Bailey
in the Daily Sentinel, in which he
compared his prices for a bill of
goods with that demanded by an
Omaha travelling man to the com
plete disparagement of the Nebras-

scores of papers throughout the
country.
The most notable of these in

NO. SLEEPING-BAG FOR THEM
Laplanders Preferred the Snow and

Sir Henry Lucy tells in the Corn

amusingly illustrates the hardy health
of the Laplanders. 49,.

only their heads out.
Before retiring to rest, hansen saw

the other sleeping-bag. When he
aWoke in the morning, almost numb
with cold, he observed that the bag
n which he had tied up the Lapland-
ers was empty, and that they were no
where in sight. He was afraid they
had deserted him, and scrambling
out of the bag he went in search OF
them. He found the three men fast
asleep behind hillock of snow that
they had scraped together as pro-
lection against the wind.
"Ah, master" they said, when ask

duct, I'VE couldn't sleep in that thing

Old "srer Fox" Was Distinctly There
When 1t Was a Matter Of

The thing was done, but after the
farmer had returned to his bed he
began to muse

Pomander Balls,

At time when the plague was rife
in England pomanders and perfumes
were in great request as safeguards.
Beads and bracelets of pomander
paste were worn as disinfectants. Po-
mander balls were carried in sticks
with perforated handles, particularly
by physicians, or people put them into
the pockets Of their clothes.
Linen bags made of lavender flow
ers or rose leaves seem to be the
only survival of the deliberately made
bags concocted in those days, and the
perfumes used In their manufacture
are entirely forgotten. Perfume then
was always a powder and this was
burnt somewhat after the manner of
incense) over hot Goals in order to.
sweeten the atmosphere. Nowadays
perfumes have as a rule alcohol as
their base and would have been called
essences in those times.

We arranged to meet the following

went home and traced my plan.
The Investigations I had to make
would take me away from Paris fully
three days; and there remained, there
fore, only another three days to put
into execution the scheme which
trusted would bring everything to
light
During my absence, had Boissier
and Germaine watched. On my re-
turn l learned that the latter had met
Xavier twice, but otherwise had not
called anywhere nor received visitors,
with the exception Of Boissier, who
had gone to her house and stayed
there half an hour.
Boissier, on the other hand, had
been very busy. He had met Xavier
every day; he had spent an evening
at Mile. Clementine's private resi-
dence at Suresnes He had also been
seen in earnest conversation with two
ladies, who proved to be connected
with Clementine's establishment.
Moreover, he had dined with an indi-
vidual called Riviere, who occupied
bedroom above Boissier's apartment.
This Riviere had once been arrested
on charge of embezzlement, but had
been discharged.
My scheme. was not only risky
one, but needed elaborate preparation.
I started early by calling on a bach
elor friend, and obtained his permis-
sion to use his apartment in the
Place Valois for the following after
noon. At my request, he also instruct
ed his housekeeper, an elderly woman.

there l went to Xavier.

Addressing me, he continued:
monsieur, I shall begin with you.
Please think Of a departed person

Il have thought of one," I replied.
The professor laid one hand on my
right shoulder and, raising the other
in the air, uttered few words in a
understanding tongue. We waited a
minute, but no response came.
The same experiment was tried with
Xavier and BOLSTER, but with no bet
ter results.

tone. Il have never yet seen the
spirits so hostile. I shall now ask

The professor then laid his hand on
her shoulder; but the moment he
lifted the other, a noise burst upon US
as if all Bedlam had been let loose. 1t
lasted only a few seconds, but it
made our very bones leap.
Good heavens! what was that?"
asked Xavier.

He again touched Germaine, and
once more the deafening din arose,
worse than before.

scared, rose from their seats, when
the professor stopped them.

Here was; a girl, the daughter Of
French parents, with paar Of Ameri-
can hands! I have been to the United
States and have noticed the peculiari-
ties of the hands In that country, as
elsewhere. Her hands haunted me;
began to fancy they did not belong to
her. And that was my starting point.
II went to Toulouse: saw M. E
and Madame e., who had adopted
their niece, and had profitable talk
with them. They showed lne the por-
traits Of Germaine's parents, true
types Of the Latin race; and I learned
from them that the Bradley's; the
farmers who at one time took charge
OF Germaine, also had little daugh-
ter. On my return to Paris I CON-
municated by cable with the Ameri-
can authorities, and with admirable
courtesy they replied the second day
that Lily Bradley and her parents
were dead.
THE conviction then stole upon me
that your fiancee was not Germaine,
but the farmers child; my only way
to test the truth was to organize Sc.
