LET THE SELLER
BE SQUARE

There is a legal maxium which
says: "Lst the buyer beware"
but wise merchants have a better
maxium: "Let the seller be square"
Today the successful merchant is
the one who is as careful Of his
customers interest as he is of his
own, and the man behind the counter
should be as careful to tell the
truth as the man behind the pulpit.
We can build more safely and
more permanently on the firm foun-
dation of square dealing than on the
uncertain sands of sharp dealing.
Sharp dealings cut confidence.
Better lose q sale than a customer
and for this reason it ia better not
to sell an article which you know
will not not give satisfaction. For
a dissatisfied customer will lose you
more money than the profits of
many sales.
Serve a customer as you would be
served and for your own sake az
well as for his; for if you wrong a
customer you are sure to harm your
self.

reason therefore exists for protecting
whatever exists that is worthy. And
the case of st. Johns chapel of Trim.
ity parish is notable case in point.
The beautiful old building in Yarick
street has had many narrow escapes
already, and Trinity Corporation can
hardly claim the credit for it's sur.
vival into it's one hundred and fourth
year. Rather the vigilance of the
newspapers has saved it. 1t Is the
newspapers again which have widely
advertised those recent plans fol-
street improvements to meet new com
ditions in the region of west side
warehouses which contemplated oncs
more the sacrifice of st. Johns rather
than, for instance, any part OF the
ugly pile of brick across the way-the
freight station which was the usurper
of the park which once faced the
chapel, and though the fashion that
frequented it has moved far uptown,
should still face it. Publicity is doing
its part. For the rest the present
status of affairs is indicated in the fol
lowing statment from George Nc
Aneny, who, as borough president OF
Manhattan, has the streets in charge:
"It is recognized" says Mr.. Mean
eny, "by all who want to preserve the
old landmarks of New York, that moth.
ing should be left undone to prevent
the demolition of ST. Johns chapel.
The matter is in allegiance now, pend
ing the acquisition by the city of the
land which is to be taken in connec.
ton with the widening Of Varick
street. When the map has been fixed,
however, the board of estimate and
apportionment will have the power to
change the line of either the roadway
or the sidewalk. | propose to ask the
board to take action upon this not
later than the first meeting in Septem'
Der. It is impracticable to obtain &C
ton before that time, because any
change in the plans at present would
involve the reopening of the entire
proceeding for widening Varick street,
and that would mean long delay"
SC. join > Chapel - one VI Tic Two
church edifices that were standing on
Manhattan island a century ago, the
other being ST. Paul's chapel between
Fulton and Vesey streets on Broad
way. The Trinity church, which then
stood in Broadway opposite Wall
street, was not the present Trinity
church, which is the third on the
same site, the first, consecrated In
1898, having been destroyed in the
great fire of 1776, and a subsequent
structure, erected after the Revolu
ton, pulled down to make way for the
present one. st. Georges, on what
was known as Chapel hill at Cliff (then
Van Cliff and Beekman streets, was
the first of the Trinity chapels to come
into existence. 1t was consecrated IN
1852, but became a separate charge In
1911. The edifice was burned In 1914
and rebuilt the following year, anc
after 1916 rebuilt once again on the
ground on which it now stands, In

]SOME PECULIAR REMEDIES

Tigers flesh and newborn puppies
were among old remedies, said DR..
@. NJ. Sandwich, during the course of
"a lecture which he delivered at the
City of London school recently.
One book, he said, recommended a
dive spider to be rolled in butter and
horned into a pill and then swallowed
as an antidote to jaundice Vipers
were held in high esteem, and a
broth made from them was said to
strengthen the eyesight. In the sew
enteenth and eighteenth centuries
powdered mummies were prescribed,
and GO great was the demand that
fraud led to more mummies being sup
piled than ever came out of Egypt
1t must be remembered that the
rational view of diseases was quite
modern In some of the older herbal
works a striking fact was the constant
recommendation of various remedies
for bruises which gave one some idea
of the manner of the day.
John Gerard, who was chief gar
dener of Lord Burleigh's garden in the
Strand, and had garden of his own
in Kolborn (then called suburb" of
I4ondon), published book in 1897 as
slis own, although it was in fact a
translation of Belgian herbal. Ger
rard recommended "Solomon's SEAL
Nor the taking away in one night OF
khe blackness of bruises caused by
falls, "or womens wilfulness in tum-
bling upon their hasty husbands
fists, or such like!"

PRICE OF A SOUL
How One Girl Gave All Her Mon
ey to Save Another From
Ruin.
BY JOHN LAWSON.

Say, Belle, have you heard the
news? Miss Harrison's going to leave!"
The girls chartered animatedly at
this piece of information. Flora Har-
rison had been nine years with Kemp
and Waggers; she had started as cash
girl, had become, in the ordinary
course of events, a saleswoman, and
only two years before was promoted
head Of the millinery department. And
now she was going to leave.
Yes, it's true, girls" she said, smil-
ing. mo, / haven't gotten p better
job. Fact is, no more jobs for me.
I've got $500 saved up, and it's the
country for Flora Harrison, with
boarders and a chicken farm"
And nobody could imagine how she
longed for the country home that she
had planned. Five hundred would
start her! She had been saving for
the whole nine years, and a lucky
plunge in stocks had doubled her saw
ings in a single week. Now she was
through with Kemp and Waggers for
ever.
"Her with $500 and me trying to
save ten dollars for an ostrich plume!"
said Belle in deep disgust. The
words and the envious look were
not missed by Miss Harrison. She
knew Belle Bates was a f1ighty,
foolish sort Of girl-just the sort
that was in need of some one to take
care Of her. She lived alone in a
cheap boarding house, and Jones
of the mems furnishing department
had spoken with her several times.
Miss Harrison had noted how Mr..
Jones piled on the flattery, and how
foolish little Bellies face lit up when
he approached her. And Jones was
a married man with two children. But
that Belle might not know.
Belle Bates had set her heart on
that tendollar ostrich plume. And
ten dollars was as remote from her
as a hundred. Who could save ten
dollars on seven a week, with CLOTH
ing to be paid for and carfare as
we'll out of her meager balance, which
remained after the landlady had been
satisfied? Miss Harrison had thought
OF giving Belle that plume, but ten
dollars would make quite hole in

CARGO OF CHINESE CORPsES

A ship recently left San Pedro, Cal,
with the most grewsome cargo on rec
ord-the remains of nearly 5000 Chi
nese who have died in America dur
ing the past so years.
Preparations for this gigantic re-
moval of human remains were carried
forward SO quietly that no comment
was occasioned. The bodies were
carefully wrapped each in a separate
piece of soft cloth, and then placed
in sealed boxes. When the cargo
reaches China the remains will be
taken in charge by relatives and
friends, and will be inferred with the
honors due to such as have ventured
into strange lands.
These Chinese believe that the eyes
of the dead never close as long as
they remain buried in a foreign coun-
try; hence this strange transporta-
ton.

Chose the Lesser Evil.

A gentleman from the north was en-
joying the excitement of a bear hunt
down in Mississippi. The bear was
surrounded in small cane thicket.
The dogs could not get the bear out
and the planter who was at the head
Of the hunt called to one of the ne
groes:
"Sam, go in there and get the bear
out
The negro hesitated for a moment
and then plunged into the cane. A
few moments later the negro, the bear
and the dogs were rolling upon the
ground outside. After the hunt was
over the visitor said to the negro:
Were you not afraid to go into
that thicket with that bear?'
"Capn," replied the negro, 1T was
