CLEANLINESS AND COURTEOUS
TREATMENT ATTRACT TRADE
loafers Drive Away Dollars, So Keep
Your Store Free Of Them.

It is general rule that people would
rather trade at an attractive place than
an unattractive one, at a clean place
than dirty one. at a place where they
are treated courteously and made to
feel at home rather than one where
they are neglected and stared at by
loafers.
Many children, most women and
some men do not feel comfortable in
going into a store where a miscel
laneous bunch Of idlers is collected.
LOAFERS DRIVE AWAY DOLLARS.
A merchant may feel it discourteous
to ask men Of this stamp to stay away.
but to allow them to remain is a great
er discourtesy to his customers 4
store is not club or hotel
A tactfui business man can rid his
place Of id!ers without giving offense.
There are ways Of doing these things
This very question Of few loafers
that congregate where they are a
nuisance is Il sore spot in many vii
lagos. The way to deal with thing
of that sort is the same way that is
necessary to GET RID OF GRUM.
BLERS AND KNOCKERS. and that
Is to move things, get up an optimistic
spirit, show that you mean business
and make the oafers. the grumblers
and knockers ashamed of themselves.
Then if they have not the decency to
get out of the way go at them good
naturally, but vigorously and without
gloves. Go at them because it is right
and necessary to 10 SO. Handled in
the proper spirit and without ill tenn
per, the whole community will ap-
plaud it, and even the ioafers, the
grumblers and the knockers will them
selves have Il secret admiration for the
chap who has the manhood to tell them
the truth.
Make the Store tidy and presentable.
CLEAN UP, and clean up the loafers
along with other things that do not
belong.

MINERS DYNAMITE
KEPT OUT OF MEXICO
It Might Be Used by the Revolu.
tionists to Blow Up Bridges
or Railroads.

Officials of the State and Treasury de-
partments approved yesterday the action
Of the customs authorities at FL Paso,
Tex, in holding up the shipment Of 5000
pounds OF dynamite into Mexico for use
by a mining company. Although repre-
sentatives OF the company are understood
TO have given assurances that the eX-
plosiyes are for their own use, the ship
ment was prevented under the recent
proclamation Of President Taft, holding
that IL might fall into the hands OF the
rebels and be used as war material in
the blowing up Of bridges, railroads, &C.
Col. Steever. commanding the army
at FL Paso, reported to the War De-
partment yesterday that since the Gus
toms authorities had held up a large
number of shipments OF rifles and other
rebels are planning to get possession of
this material from the gulf coast. Ac-
cordingly. instructions were issued to
all customs authorities at Atlantic and
gulf ports to keep a strict vigilance for
any such shipments. II is likely that
revenue cutters will be brought into
service to prevent such shipments.
At the request OF Senator Stone, of
Missouri, the State Department wired
the consul at Chihuahua yesterday to
investigated the reported wounding and
capture of A S. Smith. of Missouri.
Arthur Jenkins. OF Dexter, Mo-, a rela-
tive of Smith, wired Senator Stone.
saying that Smiths plight is desperate.
and prompt action appeared necessary to
save his life. Jenkins declared that
Smith was on a prospecting trip, and
in no way connected with the revolution.

WOMAN SURPRISES
ROBBER In HOME
Intruder, Fearing Capture, Jumps
Through Open Window When
Mrs. Colvin Calls for Help.

Discovering a man in her bedroom last
night when she returned to her apart
ment after visiting friends. Mrs. Bessie
Colvin, of the Astoria, Third and G
streets northwest, screamed so loudly
that the thief jumped through an open
window in his eagerness to escape be-
fore every person in the building was
awakened.
Mrs Colvin left the room shortly after
o'clock and did not return for about
three hours. She was alone when she
entered the apartment and was a bit
nervous because of her knowledge of the
numerous robberies in Washington re-
Gently. When Mrs. Colvin entered her
bedroom she made a light.
Standing near the bureau, but trying
to hide behind a curtain. a man stood
covering. Mrs. Colvin at once raised
her voice and screams echoed and re-
verberated throughout the building.
Without a word the man leaped
through the window. landing on the
ground twelve feet below, apparently
uninjured. He arose and ran.
When policemen arrived from the
Sixth precinct station they learned that
window had been opened with a
Jimmy" The intruder had climbed to
the top of an iron fence in an areaway
and. standing on top of the fence, pried
open the window. Mrs. Colvin
searched her rooms and told the police
nothing had been stolen. She could
not tell whether the culprit was q
white or colored man.
