TWO new STORES
OPEN NEXT WEEK
ID. A. Glenn and A. Ray Smith
Will Begin Business on
Main Street.

Two new department stores vii
open for business on Main street next
week. The A. Ray Smith store opens
next Monday, and David A. Glenn, the
veteran Cape merchant, will throw
open his doors either Tuesday OF
Wednesday.
Mr.. Smith came up from Sikeston
yesterday morning to spent the day
arranging his stock. The failure OF
the men installing the fixtures TO COM
plete their work on time had delayed
his opening about fifteen days. He
had originally planned to begin bust
ness about the middle of this month.
His goods were here and could have
been placed in the store. had the fix
lures been installed.
The interior arrangements have been
virtually completed, he announced yes
terday, and he expects to transact
business next Monday. This store will
handle dry goods and ladies' roady-to-
wear goods, specializing on the latter.
81 think our second floor is the pref
test salesroom in Southeast Mis-
souri," Mr.. Smith said yesterday.
This will be for ladies and will be in
charge of ladies'"
Mr.. Smiths mother, who has been
associated with the Grand Leader in
st. Louis, one of the largest stores in
that city, will manage the Smith
establishment here. She has been in
the Cape for several weeks.
David A Glenn, who wilI-open his
new store in the southern half of the
Glenn Mercantile Company, where he
formerly held forth, has installed his
fixtures and revamped the old store
room. A carload of goods arrived in
the Cape from the East yesterday, and
this will be placed in the store today
and tomorrow. He announced last
night that another shipment would bes
here today.
Mr.. Glenn needs no introduction to
Cape Girardeau and Southeast Mis-
souri,. He is the dean of the dry goods
; merchants in this city, if not this part
of the State. He has been a resident
of Cape Girardeau for almost half q
century and the greater part of that
time has been spent in the dry goods
business.
His store has been remodeied and
redecorated. When he opens next
week he will have on display an excel
lent stock of the latest styles in ready
to-wear for women.
The A Ray Smith store is one of
the prettiest establishments in this

JOHN PUTT WANTS
TO CARE FOR PARK
Well-known Jackson Man Makes
Application for New Cape
Position.

John G. Putt of Jackson, newspaper
correspondent and Justice of the
Peace, has filed an application with
Mayor Rage and the city council for
the position of caretaker of the Fair
grounds park. Mr.. Putt has had ex-
perience in this connection and has
for several years supervised the care
taking of the court house park in the
county seat and is regarded as an ex-
pert gardener He is a student of
nature and lover of flowers.
Mr.. Putt is close friend of Mayor
Rage, as well as several members of
the city council, but it is not believed
that an outside man will be selected.
There are more than twenty applica-
tons now on file and others have mott
fed the Mayor and r. w. Frissell,
city clerk, that they will make appli-
cation before the council meets to-
night.
IL IS DelleVed caretaker Will be
named tonight, but action may be de-
ferred, it was announced last evening.
The position will pay $50 a month
during the summer and $40 a month
through the winter. But in addition
to this salary the caretaker will be
given home in the park. This will
be equivalent to approximately fifty
per cent Of his salary.
According to reports that have been
in circulation for several months.
Harry Hines, an employee of the Frisco
machine shops, stands the best chance
of landing the plum, although no def
mite action has been taken.

faction in witnessing his forecast
come true. "He is a cat" said Pom
padour Jim.
Corbett was one of the first to reach
the Champions side as soon as Char
ley White, the veteran referee, sig
nailed the end of the battle. "Fine
work, Jess; I'm proud of you," grinned
Corbett as he looked up in the face
of the giant champion.
Willard and Moran shook hands
after the battle. The Champion scam
pered for his dressing room with his
face beaming with smiles; but there
was a sullen, disappointed look upon
the features of Moran.

YOUR PERFECT MAN OR WOMAN is YET
TO BE BORN.

Leslie's Weekly thinks there is nothing perfect
in the world. The perfect man or woman is still
to be born. Even the angels have their imper-
fections. Since the world was created, the i'm
PROJECTIONS of man have baffled science Wars
have played their brutal havoc from the time
when Cain slew his brother. Humanity has been
scourged from time immemorial by dreadful dis
eases, but the same diseases exist today. Count
less cures have been proclaimed for cancer con-
sumption and other scourges of humanity and
all have failed Scientific medical discoveries
like vaccination for smallpox have put an end
to the frghtful epidemies of the earlier ages but
medical skill is still baffled and the mystery of
the origin of cancer is matched by the mystery
of the origin Of the common wart or the prevail
ing badness among men and women.
Astronomers measuring the height of the
mountains of the moon and the orbits of the
planets are still unable TO solve the riddles of the
universe. IL is only a conjecture that mars is
inhabited. How little we know of the spots on
the sun and the possibilities of their influence
on our climate. Astrology still has its believers
and the psychic forces are recognized, but still
defy the Investigator. In the physical world
how many theories we have had regarding the
origin, purpose and effect of the Gulf Stream.
Who has been able TO solve the riddle of the ger
minating seed or the problem of life in the ami
NAL or vegetable kingdom?
Astronomers tell us that consultations spring
out Of the universe over night, as the newborn
child appears in household. The whole world,
animate and inanimate. is so mysterious that our
boastel scientists, discoveries and searchers for
the light concede their inability TO do more than
speculate on the possibilities and probabilities of
modern research In lifting the veil. The mystery
of man. his creation. his future, the whole realm
of psychical investigation. of mesmeric influence
and Of telepathic power remain in the unsearch-
able depths.
Why are some Authorizations so strong with
men and women that the asylums for the insane
are crowded? Why does credulity number its
countless victims day after day and year after
year-filling poorhouses, jails and the Potters
field? Is II remarkable that even in this en-
lightened century Of progress. some things go
wrong and that all sorts Of quack remedies To
correct evils that have always existed in imper-
feet man are urged by lawmakers, themselves
full of imperfection
IL is only the dreamer who dreams that legis-
lation can make a perfect world Il Is only the
theorist who talks of perfect man. Man is
made In the image of his Maker, but the Maker
alone is perfect.

BETTER SYSTEM OF APPROPRIATIONS
OUGHT TO BE DEVISED.

Now that congress is at Il again, the eonvic-
ton is spreading that Il would be n good time 10
introduce a better system of appropriations. so
that there can be no possibility of wasting mil
lions Of money. Heretofore and at present there
Is no logical, businesslike system In connection
with appropriating money. with the result that
money Is frequently banded about as II II were
as plentiful as the sand on the shore. II congress
can ever be induced 10 realize that every dollar
IL appropriates for divers purposes has 10 be
earned by the people in the sweat OF their brows,
Il will be more inclined 10 put on the soft pedal
budget system is a paramount necessity Let
the financial officials Of the government tell
congress just how much income Is 10 be expected,
and let a budget committee allot the expendi-
lures or appropriations for the several depart
ments Of the government based of course, on the
estimated income. In this way the usual logroll-
ing and treasury grabbing tactics, which are the
prime reason for an ever increasing outlay for
governmental purposes, would be obviated
Every successful business man must run his
business in just that way. He couldn't spend
money right and left without figuring ahead OF
time whether he could ever pay his bills. This,
however. Is what congress has been doing from
time immemorial. with this difference that
where an ordinary business man cannot squeeze
money out of the atmosphere II he needs It, con-
gress does that thing by taxation in various
forms The more money there is wasted the
more is squeezed from everybody by congress.
A budget system will soon be governmental
necessity, and 1t is good time TO begin having
one now.

EXCERPTS FROM SPEECH OF
JUDGE GARY.

These striking sentences are taken from
Judge Ebert II. Gary's remarkable interview:
THE present. rate Of production of steel in
gots in the United States is about Al, 900 600
tons per annum. This compares with the high
water mark Of 35,0O0,OO0 tons in 1913.
The bookings are considerably in excess Of
production, which is larger than ever before.
About rs per cent Of the sales is for domestic
consumption.
There evidences which cannot be reason

Countless farmers and their wives who saved
recompense for old age spend the money in
training their sons for doctors, lawyers, profess
sors, cashiers and what not. Or in training their
daughters for some highfaluting occupation far
from the engrossing farm kitchen. OF course,
parents are justified in attempting TO place their
children on higher plane in life than they were
themselves, but it is doubtful if they should sac
rifice their own chances for a placid old age.

appeal 10 the general reader as well as 10 the

ties, never know what is going on. They don't

would be surprised to know that they are harm
