The TEST OF A BARGAIN.

Merchants the country report a very active
interest in Bargains The tendency the part OF
shoppers 70 scorn anything low in price
have died natural death. Price reductions are
greeted on every hand with immediate response
from the public. This is in the main a healthy
indication but his eagerness TO avail himself of
moderate prices the shopper should not overlook
the little matters of quality and necessity
The downward trend OF prices means nothing
unless it brings into the a steady flow of
goods Of standard quality and fair workmanship at
the lower figures Much wholly unworthy stock
was marked at exorbitant figures before the buying
reaction set in. Reduced prices such should
tempt the buyer into taking it.
The first consideration in economical buying
should be necessity Nothing be said to be
a bargain which is not needed by the purchaser
Granting the need, the first demand should be for
quality and workmanship. When these elements
are neglected, extravaganza and prohteering are
just possible at the bargain counter as when
high prices reign.

LIFE
You bet on an election
Delighted IL you win.

Who plays the market wrong.
The girl you take 10 dinner
Consents 70 share your fate,
But while you're glad 10 win 'er
Some sutton gets the gate.
You valiantly aspire
To gain the mountains crown,
But while you're getting higher
Somebody's going down.
You clean up on the races
Nor notice the despair
Despicted on the faces
The busted bookies wear.
AS through the world we am be-
We ought 10 get the blues
To think it's all a gamble
And some one has 20 lose.
Yet while your sun is shining.

Somebody must get his.
We cannot mend or change II
