Smart k Silberbersc Investigation Makes Clear Why It Pays to Trade Here. The ability to retain the patronage of many families year after year, increasing and growing in popularity with each year, would seem to justify a claim for meritorious qualities and in variably lair, favorable prices. It stands to reason that a store with such prestige behind it an organization that con centrates all of its faculties and forces on the resolve to con tioually give its patrons broadest varieties and still better values, is a good store to know about and to depend upon. i Scotch Wool Flannels, 15 Cents Over 20 styles to select from, both light and dark.

Miss Anna IHrklnsrm traveled every where Independently nnd saw liuninn nature In ull of Its lairs. Writing to a woman friend once, she described n re ception given by wealthy Chinamen In a restaurant kept by Chi Lung In San Francisco, nnd tdie was the guest of honor. She snld that Bhe saw a serv ant coming toward her with a box di vided Into muny compartments, with different kinds of nuts nnd candies In the smaller trays. She picked out half a dozen or more nnd laid theni on the arm of the chair, which served as n ta ble. As the attendant passed on to others she saw that each took only one bonbon, nnd she was much embar rassed. But when the servant approached the chief Chinaman, tilt! one who had orig inated the reception, he took a large handful, and those after him did the ame, nnd then Miss Dickinson felt re lieved. She wrote: "After I learned that I must have phocked nil of those educated, cultured Chinamen ns much as you or I should huve been shocked If we hud Invited a Chinaman whom we respected to dine with us nnd he had taken a whole fried chicken nnd torn It limb from limb nt our table. In such an event would you or I have had the tact and courtesy to have taken other chickens and thus dismembered them?" Treasurer, II. R. MEKRITT. Time and Hooka. The economy of saving time Is wise, but there Is an economy of spending time. In rending, especially, hurry la most wnstcful. Heading Is the making of thoughts, of Ideas, of pictures In the brain.

"Yon will have to uccompnny me," said the new and zealous officer of the law, laying a firm hand on the arm of the seedy young man who was making night hideous with a cornet. "Certainly," said the musician, af fectionately linking his arm In the po liceman's. "What tlo you wish to sing onl In wlin Iter"" Poultry as a Fortune Builder. There is every natural Incentive to poultry culture in the Southeast. The climate Is favorable, the market is good and the price Is right. The great cities of the Eastern States are within a day and a night's ride of most any point in the middle South and the South Atlantic States, and the produce buyers from these cities are more and more making our section a foraging ground cash In hand for poultry, eggs and turkeys. When we are reminded by the governmental statlstican that the egg crop of the United States last year sold for one hundred and forty-four million dol lars a profit of over four hundred per cent on the value of the hen that laid them, we are inclined to set an other hen or two; and go Into the business of egg-production a little more extensively. The government experts, however, do not assume to tell us of the Im measurable amount of good done In the home-oircle by the vast sura earn ed by our hens in the period named. But, It Is quite safe to assume that it brought more comfort and cheer Into the American homes, than the combined Income from all other sources on the farm, and the village yards. We say this because the egs crop of the country Is very largely controlled by the women, and we ail know that, when a woman a real good home-loving woman spends a dollar, she puts it where It will do the most good to the greatest number of the household. This money has been more gener ally distributed than any other like vast sum. It has gone to more homes, and It has gladdened more hearts, and cheered more tired and weary souls than any other money distributed through the channels of commerce. More childish hearts have heat fast er, and more happy young faces have rippled with smiles from the things that "Mamma" bought with the "egg money" than "papa" ever cheered with the greater Income from the big ger things on the place. Nations have fought for gold, and men wrangle and struggle for It un ceasingly political parties divide and wage political warfare on money Is sues; and yet, the American hen has every year with only two exceptional years produced In value In eggs and chickens, more wealth than all the mines of all the earth have yielded In gold, sliver and diamonds In any given year. And, the most of this vast accumulation of "hen-wealth" Is picked up In secret places scratched out of the trash heaps, drawn from the earth In the form of worms or In sect life, or caught on the wings In passing through the air. It Is a pick up a free-will offering from a humble creature to a great and ambitious people. And of this wealth this sav ing from the waste places the eggs alone exceed In value more than dou ble that of all the horses, mules, cat tle, sheep and hoga of the whole coun try combined. Do you doubt this? Then get the United States Census reports, and other governmental sta tistics, and read the statements com piled by men who are hired because of their ability and accuracy. Have you been slighting the poul try on the place as something too In significant for a man to waste his time on? If you have. It Is time for you to investigate, and see what is going on about you. The hens can lay In the shade under the bushes during the heat of the summer days, and still add more wealth to the nation than you can rake out of the soil, or grow In the horse and cow lot. And, for poultry raising, let us remember, that the South and Southeast possesses more natural advantages than any other section of the country. Shan we not then pay more attention to It and lend our aid to making It still greater and at the same time add to our Income. H. B. Geer, Southern Cultivator. Protection for Frogs. The Department of Fisheries of the Province of Ontario has been urged to establish a close season for frogs. Pennsylvania has had such a statute for more than a year. It is suggested that the close season 6hall be the same as the maskailonge and black bass season, because men, under the pretense of spearing frogs, kill mas kailonge and black baas. Cow Peas for Poultry. In New England the white bean Is the favorite, but the cow pea (which is a bean) Is so easily grown, and seems to thrive on such a diversity of soils, that It should be grown by those interested in poultry. The Guinea Fowl. No farm fowl Is as near self sup porting as the guinea. They make an excellent table bird, of a darkish meat and with a dash of game in the flavor. They are also excellent watch dogs. Clearing Away Dandelions. Is your lawn filled with dandelions and other weeds.

Jacksonville Is about as far north of Miami rs she Is south of Charlotte, N. C.j about as far north of Key West as she Is south of Danville, Va. Ignorance of tho extent ,of Florida leads to many amusing mis takes. We sometimes bear the rail Toads of tho state charged with mak ing poor time. Why, It takes over twenty-four hours to go from Pctisa cola to Miami. The mau who makes this remark would think he was travel ing on a filer If he made the trip from Pensacola to Chicago lu the same length of time it would take him to go to MlamL But there Is very little dif ference in the distance. A lnnd trip from one end of Florida to the other is as long ns from the hikes to the gulf. A cltiien of Maine who makes np bis mlud to coiue south may get on the cars and pass through Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecti cut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl vania, Delaware, Maryland, the Dis trict of Columbia and far Into Virginia. When he has done this he has taken no longer rl le than he could have tak en by an equally direct line from one Florida town to another, and there are some men green enough to think they are making poor time when they nnd It takes them longer to go from l'ensa cola to Mlauil than from the eastern to the western side of Maine. Of course the old stagers do not make these amusing mistakes. They have a pretty cleur conception of the geogra phy of Florida. There arc many, how ever, who como on their first visit with very lmzy Ideas of the state. Florida Tluies-L'uloti. CHATEAUBRIAND IN LONDON - A Pletare of the Enerllah Capital of Ccntarr Aaja. "All the English are mod by nature or by fashion," Chateaubriand writes nonchalantly In the book of his em bassy In London (1821), but he had a very gay time with the same lunatics. We hear of dinners, Almack's and le beau monde. "The day was thus dis tributed In I,ondon: At 0 o'clock In the morning one hnstened to a party of pleasure, consisting of a breakfast In the country; one returned to lunch In London; one changed one's dress to walk In Bond street or Hyde park; one dressed again to dine at 7:30; one dressed again for the opern; at mid night one dressed once more for an evening pnrty or rout. What a life of enchantments! I should a hundred times have preferred the gnlleys." One smiles and reads on. He found Ixmdon full of recollections of Bonaparte. "The people had passed from the vilification of 'Nick' to a stupid enthusiasm. Ills colossal bust by Canova decorated the Duke of Wellington's staircase." At an evening pnrty at I-ord London derry's, the English premier, "I wns presented by his majesty to a severe looking lndy seventy-three years old. She wns dressed In crape, wore a blnck veil like a dlmleiu on her white hair and resembled a queen who had abdi cated her throne. She greeted me In a solemn voice with three mangled sen tences from the 'Genie du Chrlstlnn Isme;' then she snld to me. with no less solemnity, 'I nm Mrs. Slddoim.' If she hnd said to me. 'I am Lady Macbeth,' I should have lollcvcd her." John J. a'Becket In Catholic Quarterly Review. Charity of Former Kin ft. Henry II. sought pence for his soul after the murder of Rocket by feeding and sustaining 10,000 people dully, a proceeding Unit must have made many a man rejoice In tho fall of the "proud prelate." Quaintest of all, though, was the chnrlty of Henry III., who com manded thnt "In the grent hnll at Win sore, nt a good fire, nil the poor ond needy children thnt could le found were to be fed, according to the weight nnd measure of the king's children," a queer variant of the more modern sys tem of distributing the Maundy money. It Is to be fenred thnt nowndnys, gays the London Chronicle, the amount of food equivalent to "the weight nnd measure of the king's children" would not go far In relieving "all the poor and needy children that could be found."
