The "map" man was here last

town "bit." When the maps
wore delivered at $8.00 per, there
was much wailing and gnashing of
teeth and every sucker de
cl'.ared through his teeth the no—
?! jphionzz would ever
catch him again. This year just
a week or two ago, along came a
man selling a dictionary and every
mother's son of them immediately
wanted to know the definition of
tha word "damphool," so they all
bought a dictionary to find out what
it meant. Later it develops that
the agen* who collected his pay in
advance 'b a swindler and does not
represent the company at all. Now
it 'a apparent that none of the pur
chasers, judging from the language
we hear them using, are in need uf
a dictionary to tell them the full
meaning of the "damphool." They
just look in the mirror and say to
the gentleman gazing at them' Hel

swinging northward through Galicia
and Poland at an average rate of'
about f've miles a day in a collos
sal endeavor to drive a wedge into
the Russian enter and force Grand

tinuous aud t' nacioua and every inclfl
of ground is costing the Germans
nd Austrians a great deal in sacri
fice of lives and ammunition, and
the Russian commanders predict
that should the Kaiser ever reach
Moskow his experience tvill be a
repetition of Napoleon's memorable
iefeat.
I'elrograd, July G—The retreat
of the Russian army through Gal
licia is being conducted in a very
