Dollar Day Sales Popular.

One of the most popular mer-
events that has been in
augurated in recent years is the
Dollar Day sales that have swept
over the country. Many of the lead
ing cities and towns of the United
States have witnessed these sales
and results have been highly salts
Tying for merchants and customers
alike, for the sales work to their
mutual benefit. In a nutshell the
event is nothing more than a joint
bargain day in which the merchants
join in offering exceptional oppor'
tunities to purchase goods in dollar
quantities, or at one dollar for Civ
en- number of articles, or an arti-
Gle of higher value at a special
price Of one dollar The effort is
made to avoid duplication in bar
gains so that the widest variety oil
articles are offered at the specia
price made for that day only. Decor
all merchants will put one of these
sales on shortly after fair week.

CAR AND HORSE COLLIDE.
Accident Sunday Evening Put An
other EIeCtrolier Out of
Business.

B. H. Adams and wife and some
friends were out automobiling Sun
day evening, and were returning
home about ten o'clock Mr.. Adams
was driving his car west on Broad
way. At the intersection of Washing
ton street and Broadway an accident
occurred, which resulted very for
tunately for all concerned. A young
gentleman and lady from the coun-
try were driving east on Broadway
with horse and buggy. Mr.. Adams
took it for granted that the horse
was going to turn north on Wash
ington as he was headed that way,
but he made a sudden turn south,
with the result that Mr.. Adams had
to do some fast thinking to avoid
smashing squarely into the horse.
AS it was the car struck the horse
and the animal almost reared into
the car, and the machine ran into
the DIT JlS COl VI lNuOll
harnes shop, and smashed one of the
electrolier poles and light. The ma
chine was somewhat damaged, the
mud7guards and windshield being
smashed. The occupants of the car
escaped luckily as glass flew in all
directions, but no injury was done
from that source. The horse started
to run up Broadway towards the
Court House, but the driver got him
under control before reaching Win
.nebago street.
Driving in the night is a danger
Gus proposition, especially with
horses when no lights are displayed
on the vehicles. We understand that
a new law was passed during the
last legislature requiring horse
drawn vehicles to carry lights at
night. With so many automobiles on
the roads coming and going in all
directions, lights on all vehicles are
almost a necessity.

HOW ONE MAN GOT HIS START
Couldn't Co in for = Literary Career,
So Went Into Hardware
Business.

Il got my start in life said
wealthy retired hardware dealer. in
a singular manner
You might not think it, / having
passed the major portion of my life in
selling nails, padlocks, stoves and
shoyels. but in my early youth my
great ambition was to be a writer, an
author. l had no doubt whatever
that that was what. l was cut out
for, and certainly | worked at it good
and hard but none of the publishers
to whom / sent my things seemed to
agree with me. AS fast as l sent
the things in to them they would send
them back
But that didn't worry me, I knew
that sooner or later they would come
to like what l wrote and buy it. What
got my goat was the expense. was a
very ready writer and l wrote long
pieces. The stamps ! had to use to
send these pieces out and get them
back cost me lot of money.
When | realized how much | was
paying out for stamps l said to my
self Humpf! I'll save up that money
for five years and then I'll go to writ
ing again. And for the next five years
l did put aside regularly the amount
that | would otherwise have spent for
stamps and you would be surprised
if | should tell you how much It
amounted to. But at the end OF that
time | did not again take up writing.
Just at that time the senior part
ner of the hardware store in our town
died and his heirs drew out all his
interest ia the firm. There was
chance for a man with a little cap
ital to get into good business, had
the capital. by accumulated stamp
money. and l bought that interest in
the hardware store.
From that time on | was always
100 busy to write; but my great sue
cess in the hardware business you
can clearly trace to my original ambt'
