OH, YOU MINSTREL TROUPE!
They do say you saw only one bargain while you were astray—That crawled under a lrw
It's open season for gains In
my locality and my cabin la full
of them. 8hould you become
frightened or show signs of yel
low A-Dam-Swan will fly to the
rescue, or if you seem about to
stampede I'll exhibit speed, my
self, either in split-second stop
watches at $6.25, that sold for
$15; or in easy running, heavily
silver-mounted gold fountain
pens at $1.85, standard at $4; or
a fine business gold fountain pen
at $1. These pens will make you
all right.
Speaking of the price of hay in
Chioago—oall the attention of any
of the following that I have found
the goods they asked about. I
could not mention their names,
ycu know, so you must guess from
their initials who they are.
Dr. Von Qunther—-We discov
ered the silver-mounted comb you
wished at $1. There are three to
choose from.
Mrs. ——— I've uncover
ed the nut picks and storling tea
ball we rummaged for, and they
shall be youra for less than cost.
I have, I think, also Just the tea
strainer you wished and I shall
be glad to have you enjoy my
party tonight. We have lots of
fuu.
Qeo. Treat—I- received your
message and am now guarding
two sets of solid silver shakers
for you until you oan get here to
night at 7:30. They'll cost you
one-third less than Mr. Stull paid
for them wholesale.
Archie—I've located that set for
you and it's pretty enough to eat;
in faot, there are two to ohoose
from and the price is like every
thing else. Be on hand early this
evening.
Mossy—Blow baok with that sil
ver business you "honswoggled"
Mr. 8wan Into selling you. I had
already sold it, and, anyway, your
money Is counterfeit.
Young Lady—The one who
wanted the old ivory crescent sur
rounded by nuggets. I have dug up
just one more and It will be yours
If you oome or send for It. It is
now marked $7.
These good, whioh were asked
for and whloh were not at hand
at the time, will be held for you
tonight.
Now, people, tell me your trou
bles. I have none of my own, you
know. Whatever you want, ask
for; I can dig up most anything
from this stock. I have only about
one-fifth of it marked, so be pa
tient if I haven't gotten to your
favorite. My window is full of im
ported china and hand-painted
seta at from one-third to two
thirds of what they cost Mr. Stull.
I have been open a short time this
afternoon, but will sell no goods
out of the window until 7:30 to
night. Ask and ye shall receive.

Time
To advertise. If business is quiet
invigorate It by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever suooeeded by outtlng
down his advertising just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merchant who
gets the money Is the one who
creates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
its merits. We will bring It be
fore the people and are confident
it will bring results. Try it.

NOVELTY IN RAPID
TRAN8IT FOR CITIE8
What is known as the Adkins
Lewis system of rapid continuous
transport has been suggested in
England for over-coming some of
the disadvantages of tlie existing
systems of carrying1 passengers i
in large cities. Moving platforms
are hy no means new and contin
uously moving platforms have
|been advocated for tin* under
ground railways in London. These
I would consist of three or four
platforms, moving at -speeds
which increased at tin' rate of
about four miles an hour. The
passenger would step olT a sta
tionary platform on to tbe plat
form moving at four miles an
hour then on to that which moved
at right miles an hour, then on to
the twelve-miles-an-hour one,
and so on. The new system pro
posed is to have a series of in
dependent cars positively control
led and driven by a spirally
threaded shaft. The cars engage
on the shaft by means of a roller.
jThe shaft is to extend through
out the route, and is to be rotated
at a constant speed. Conse
quently the speed of the ear de
pends on the pilch of the spiral
I engaged. Near the stations the
pilch would be close together, and
between stations the pilch would
be six or eight times as great.
There would, of course, be a grad
iuated pitch on each side of the
| station, to allow of gradual ac
celeration and declination.
There could be no collision, as
the cars must always he a con
Islant number of threads away
from eacb other. A working
model of the system at Ipswich is
said by independent engineers
who have witnessed it, to work
well.
