Shakespeare gives lliis accounl:

to endure inui'li. I fear neither!
fiwor(| nor lire. Me brave I lieu,
for your captain is brave, and
vows reformat ion. There shall
lie in Knglnad seven half-penny
loaves sold for a penny; the
three-hooped pot ,-hall have ten
hoops; and I will make ii felony
to drink small beer. All the
realm shall be in common, and in
Cheapsidc shall my palfrey go to
grass. And when I am king (as
king 1 will be) —
All—<Sod satfe your majesty!
Cade—I thank you, good peo
ple—there shall be no money; all
shall cat aufj drink on my score,
and I will apparel them all in
one livery, that they may agree
like brothers, and worship me,
tlieir lord.

Cade—Nay, that I mean lo do.

THE BUSINESS BOOM IS ON.
The nation-wide business
boom, which was hardly hailed '
by the elections, is on again in j
earnest. The slcel companies!
report I hat they have business
enough ahead to keep Iheni run-j

new orders are hookeil, and all
of the commercial reports show
great activity in all lines of jn
dust ry.
Steel at present is being con
sumed in enormous ipiant it ies by
I lie railroads, equipment coin
p.'Viii s. building and other in
dustries, indicating great activ
ity throughout the industrial
world. There has been some
slackening recently in new or

because further contracting for

FOR THE CONSUMER.
The authorities of New York
slate have just given out the
)crnis of regulation under, the
new law which compels.the markr
jng of the weight or measure of
food and household cpnimodi
ties sold in .jars, packages or in
wrappers. Tin* articles to he
thus marked include candy, can
ned goods, eereuls, bread, painls
and oils, Hour, soap, bottled beer
an(| cheese. If goods are Hot
properly marked, or do not come
np to I he standard of marking,
something will happen.
This is a righteous nieaisure,
if ever there was one. It will en
able I he purchaser to know ex
actly what he is gelling for his
imuiey in I lie way of quanlity or
weight, ami lie may (litis make

A Winy Out of the Difficulty.
"There's a Head horse on Que,' •
rero street," announced a San
Francisco patrolman, coming i;i~
to the Htatton after his <lay on
duly.
"Well, make out a P 'fori " or
dered the sergeant.
"Why, you make out. tne ropor!, j
I don't you, sergeant?"
"I don't. Make out. your own
reports. You've passed vour civ
il service examinations.'*
Mike equipped himself with a
pen and began scratching laboi
iously. Presently the scratching
slopped. "Sergeant," he asked,
"how do you spell fiuei reroV"
"(I'wiin. You're writing ;linl
report."
An inlerval of silence 'I hen:
•"Sergeant, how do you spell
fSuerrcro si reel?"
"Slop bothering me,'1 the ser
geaut ordered. "Tin no iuforma

Prellv soon the pal column got
up, clapperl on his helmet and
started for the door.
"Where are you iroin'?" de
manded the sergeant.
"I'm a-goin'," said the police
man, "lo drag that doad horse
around into Sixteenth street."

Now is
The Time
To advertise. If business is quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever suoceeded by cutting
down his advertising Just beoause
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merohant who
gets the money Is the one who
oreates a demand for hit wares
through the advertising oolumns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an sdvertlsement telling
Its merits. We will bring It be
fore the people and are oonfldent
It will bring results. Try It.
