The Problems of the
Retail Merchant, No. 2

People who were never engaged or
employed in retail trade have little
idea of the pains most merchants will
take to please the public. when
lock this store up at night says one
merchant, ct fell that at last my soul
is my own, and can do what think
is right. But there are many times
when I have to sink my own sense of
fairness and justice in order to meet
the requirements of the public. In
the main people are reasonable But
there are many cases of unjust de-
rnands that are terribly irritating
s'For instance he continued, ''aN man
came in here one day and wanted to
exchange some collars They weren't
bought here nor in this town. He had
got them off on some trip, had
brought them home, and then didn't
like them. He thought he could Gomez
in here and get US to work. them off
for him and give him some of our
regular goods in exchange. These
collars were unlike anything sold in
our store. They were so much cheaper
that it would have hurt our trade to
sell them, We simply could do moth
ing with them, and we told him so.
He went off huffy. and has never been
inside our store since.
I'VE were under no obligation to
work off those collars. If we had
taken them for him, the best thing
we could have done would be to throw
them in the rubbish barrel, and
charge their value up to advertising.
And really as a pure business PROPOSE
ton, that would have been the thing
to do. The trade of his we lost was
worth much more than total loss
on those miserable collars
The merchant went on to say that
this illustrated how he had to deal
with many people who have no exper-
fence with business methods. A man

= RECEIVES MEDAL
FOR BRAVE ACT
Harry Goldstein Saved the
Life of Comrade in Span
ish War.

Harry Go1dstein5- proprietor Of a
dry goods and notion store at 1916
Main street was the recipient this
week of a. medal of honor, ordered by
Governor Whitman of New York,
through adjutant General Louis w.
Stotesbury, for extreme bravery on
the field of action during the Spanish
American war.
Accompanying the medal, which is
made of bronze and records the fact
that the recipient served with valor
during the Spanish-Am erican War, is
a certificate commencing the hod1er
and setting forth the reasons of pres
entation.
It is said to be one of a, number pre-
scented for va1or, by the State of New
Y ork, after exhaustive investi cation
by the military auth critics.
The particular act of bravery cred
tied to Harry Goldstein is saving the
life Of Jack Haines, an artillery lieu
tenant attached to the Third United
States Light artillery, recruited in
1898 at New York city in which Gold
stein was enlisted as a cannoneer.
The scene was laid in the Semento
Mountains during the Porto Rico cam
paign when the artillery was going
into position. Haines in his effort
to reach a high spot was unrpindfuI
of ambush. He had ridden ahead
and was wounded by Spanish fire from
a screen of brush. AS he fell from
his steed one of the Porto Ricans ran
forward to despatch the victim when
Goldstein then serving as postillion,
cut his horse loose and rode to the
assistance of his officer. He prevent
ed the killing though his own horse
was shot from under him. He drag
ged the wounded officer back to safety
and gave information of the, location
Of the ambush, which probably saw
ed the entire detail from extermina-
ton and loss of valuable guns.
GoIdstein also served in the cam
paigns of Matanzas, Santiago and San
Juan hill. He enlisted at New York,
June 4, 1898, serving three, years. He
was wounded in the back by a Mauser
Bullet received in Porto Rico. The
receipt of the high honor and medal
from New York state was most un-
expected and it greatly surprised him
when it came through the mails. He
does not know who reported his ac-
ton for reward.

REPRESENTATIVES
NEAR TO BATTLE
ON HOUSE FLOOR

Washington, Jan. 25-Massachu-
sets and Missouri came to grips on
the floor of the House yesterday and
for time the members feared some
body would issue invitation to an
other to settle the dispute "outside."
The row came up over the $25, 000,OOO
good roads bill champtoned by Rep
resentative Shack1eford, who was
born in Missouri and frequently
boasts of it. The bill was attacked
by Representative Gardner of Massa-
chusetts,\ a good fighting man, who
generally is in the middle Of whatever
is going on in the House.
Mr.. Shackleford resented Mr. Gard
ner's caustic criticism of the bill and
waxed sarcastic about Massachusetts
generally and Boston in particular.
He said the Massachusetts people
sometimes journeyed ''as far west as
Philadelphia or Buffalo,
Most of the time" he continued,
they go over to London, where they
can mfngle in congeniaI circles and
take on even some additional polish.
Naturally we in Missouri could not
look for sympathy from that sort of
folks. - They stand upon the noun
tain top of their culture and look
down on US in pity, but not in sym
pathy or brotherly love-
Mr.. Shackleford broadly intimated
that those who were urging prepar-
est in the manufacture of munitions.
In. reply Mr.. Gardner came narrowly
near to violating the rules that gov
ern debate. He declared that any,
body who said those who advocated
preparedness were interested in the
stock of any nunition maker spoke
with unc1ean mouth
Mr. Gardner said Mr.. Shack1eford
ean1e from a part of the country
which cannot be expected to under
stand Massachusetts,
Gin Massa chusetts,' continued Mr..
Gardner I'VE have-had the civi1iza-
ton of the public schools; we have
had free labor; we have built our own
roads; we have been Industrious and
saving. The gentleman comes from
that part of the country in which he
was brought up under the civilization
of the shotgun; where the people, his
forebears though the only proper
relation. between capital. and labor
was that capital should own labor fee
simple. And so they have accdmu-
lated no money in that part of the
country.
ST am sorry to say it is their own
vote it out of other peoples pockets.
Now let me say to the gentleman that
if any person in this House on either
side says that the motives Of those
of US who are backing this rnovem ent
for preparedness are on account of a
desire to keep up the stock of any
ammunition nanufa cturer speaks
