SOMETHING JUST AS GOOD.

Before Charlie Murphy sprang into
fame as the owner of the Chicago
Cubs, he worked as a clerk in Gin
cinnati drug store, owned by old Doc
tor John Keeshan. The doctor was a
prime chemist, an able business man,
and an expert salesman. And one Of
the rules in his shop was that. If any
body asked for any preparation which
was not in stock, the clerks must al.
ways answer:
Sorry, but we haven't that. How
ever" with a grand flourish. here is
something just as good"
One afternoon a middle-aged man
came into the store and asked for a
certain kind of hair tonic. At the time
Doctor Keeshan, immaculate and i'm
posing In his usual frock coat and higf
silk hat, was standing near by. Muir
ply was anxious, therefore, to make
good on the store rules.
Sorry" he said, with depreciat
ing bow, "we're just out of that pre-
paration. However, he have some
thing just as good"
"But," asked the prospective Gus
toner doubtfully, SIS it just as good

NEWS FORECAST FOR
THE COMING WEEK.

Washington, Dec. 20.-The national
capital is at its height of its prepare
tons for the Christmas season. So
far as official Washington is concern
ed there will be little business Of i'm
portance during the coming week. The
number Of congressman who are go
ing home for the holidays is very small
in comparison with former years, but
the fact that the majority Of them are
remaining in the capital is not taken
to mean that they will overwork them
selves during the holiday season.
Many department heads and clerks
have obtained leave Of absence to en-
Joy the holiday season at their homes
in other parts Of the country 1t will
be a merry Christmas at the White
House, where the President and Mrs
Wilson will be surrounded by nearly
all the members Of their immediate
family and number of other relatives.
There will be interesting Christmas
celebrations also at the various EN-.
bassies and legations, especially those
where there are children.
All signs point to a Merry Christ
mas" throughout the length and
breadth Of the land. The threatened
industrial depression has not yet ma
terialized and, though some of the
railroads and other corporations are
reported to be shortening sail, there
is as yet no evidence Of hard times.
The weekly reports of the mercantile
agencies issued today show that the
Christmas business has been satisfac.
tory in practically all lines of trade.
Few fixed events of Importance are
scheduled for the week, as is to be en-
pected at the one season of the year
given over by practically every one to
family celebrations.
Educators, scientists, sociologists
and economic experts from all parts
of the country will gather in Mime
apolis at the end of the week for the

Economic Association and the Ameri
can Sociological Society.
