NOT SATISFIED.
One of the wisest men the world
has ever known said, “Man born
of woman is never satisfied,” and
we are very much of the opinion
that he was correct.
One year ago we began business
here with a very small stock of
groceries, and a nice, but old
fashioned soda fountain. We fi
gured then if we could sell a cer
tain amount of goods the first
month, we would be satisfied. The
results were we sold more than
twice the amount we anticipated.
The following mouth we added to
our stock, our fixtures, etc., and
this second month showed an in
crease of sales of 68 per cent over
the first month. This condition
continued until December which
exceeded by far any previous
month, and we thought surely it
was impossible to get more trade,
however, to our surprise January
showed considerable increase in
sales over December, but still we
were not satisfied.
We have added to our stock un
til we rarely have calls for any
thing in the grocery line that we
do not carry, and have replaced
our old soda fountain with one of
the very latest on the market; a
fountain which is rarely seen in a
town this size. But the town is
growing as well as we, and we
have always felt that the best is
none too good for any of our cus
tomers, and unless we have it for
you, we are Not Satisfied.
Notwithstanding the hard times
talk you will always hear, we are
doing a nice business during the
week at present, and on Saturdays
we haven’t the space or help
enough to possibly wait on every
customer as we should. And yet,
we are NOT SATISFIED.
To you who have helped us, we
wish to extend our best thanks,
and ask you to continue to en
trust us with your orders whether
large or small. If you are with
the few who have not tried us, we
will appreciate a trial order more
than you know, and until we se
cure, at least, a part of your trade,
we will not be satisfied.

HUNTER’S “BAG” RECORD ONE
Big Game of All Kinds Shot by Ger
man in Recent Tour ixi
Africa.
H. Hieland, the German big game
hunter, who came into prominence
at the recent elephant kraal, has re
turned to Colombo after a month's
shooting in the Hambatota district.
He secured a capital bag, including
two elephants, two buit’aloes, two
crocodiles, one leopard, one boar and
some snakes.
One of the elephants was a rogue
and a tremendous brute, the meas
urement of its forefeet going to
show, according to Rowland Ward’s
standard book on big game, that the
animal was second in size for the
world’s record and considerably the
biggest shot in Ceylon. The ele
phant shot by Mr. Hieland was nine
feet high. The measurement of the
foot was taken after drying and be
fore being stuffed with sand it will
be 58 inches; but taking it as 55
inches it comes second in the list of
Rowland Ward’s records.
It was barely light, Mr. Hieland
says, and owing to the comparative
darkness he had to go up quite close
to the animal before shooting, and
as it was he was not able to get good
aim. The first shot, however, was
fatal, but not instantaneously so, and
the elephant charged. He stopped
the brute's progress with a bullet
on the knee and then he rolled over
dead.—Singapore Times.
SAVED BV BIT OF TAPE.
Holding a live wire carrying 2,000
volts of electricity was the predica
ment in which George Gouty, an
electrician of Hoopestown was placed
in the other day while repairing a
broken wire. Gouty had ascended a
pole and was in the act of repairing
the wire when some one at the
Hoopestown power house turned on
the current. The force of the cur
rent held the man to the wire, but
a small piece of tape he held in his
hand broke the contact and his life
was thus saved.
Word was quickly sent to the
power house to turn off the power,
and when it was done Gouty fell
limp on a life net that was held be
neath him. He was unconscious for
a time, but soon recovered, and said
he was suffering from a severe head
ache.—Indianapolis News.
FOR THE SHIPWRECKED.
“There is no reason, save igno
rance, why shipwrecked sailors die
in their open boats of starvation.”
The speaker was a botanist.
“Let the shipwrecked include a
light net in their baggage,” he said,
“and let them trail this net behind
them as they sail or row upon the
sea’s surface. Every few hours they
can haul in and take from it a meal
of small shellfish or other tiny sea
fruit.
“Eveywhere the sea’s surface teems
with animal and vegetable matter
capable of sustaining life.”
NEED NOT STARVE.
The little count was trying to
make a good impression.
“Ah,” he whispered, suavely, “I
should like to take you coaching
through our castle grounds. I am
an expert handler of the ribbons.”
The sensible heiress smiled.
“Indeed!” she replied, sweetly.
“How lucky!”
“Lucky?”
“Yes, if you don’t succeed in find
ing a rich wife you can easily obtain
a position at some ribbon counter.”
GOOD SUGGESTIONS.
Following is from an exchange:
“Beware of theologians who have
no sense of mirth; they are not alto
gether human.”
“Keep your chin up.”
“Don’t take your troubles to bed
with you; hang them on a chair with
your trousers or drop them into a
glass of water with your teeth.”
SYMPATHETIC.
“I am sure I do not know what
will become of Bessie,” said Bessie’s
mamma. “She came home from
Sunday school yesterday crying.
When I asked her what she was cry
ing about she said:
“ "'Because poor Eve never had any
mamma.’ ”

well to take as it tastes nearly as

the bowels and thereby drives
the cold out of the system. Sold
