EVERYBODY WANTS TO MAKE MONEY.
Some try to save money, some in one way, others in another way.
Tbe true way to make money is to save money, bu" it would not be
prudent to expect for instance t.bat you can bnv an article at 50 cts an good
aa one you pay $i 00 for, this would be losing money
It is Simply a Matter ol Business
With you to buv from a reliable house and one that voti know has only one
price, a bouse that gives one man as much IIH hi-t neighbor fur his dollar no
two prices.
Houses that are always advertisir g go< dn at $1 00 worth $2 00. and all
this kind of bosh as a role are dangerous places m ike money iu.it is used
by them as a catch to get yoo in tbeir net.
It would not be safe for you to tske part ! n any schema where 'he
merchant is going to lose money and you m.tKe, for fear the merchant
would make tbe money aod vou lose it

THAT CUR'OUS TUNE.
A Love Styr In Itbymf.
1 was staying in the mountains at a farmhouse,
ia th.s siata.
For a we:k cr two, last summer, at J whene'er I
sat up late
On the porch, with chair back-ill ted, musing, as
I love to do.
Out would come the honest farmer for a talk,
when chores were through.
Som> time; would speak r.f p.: who had
stayed there years Lefore.
And he d laugh aad tell with fervor "How that
Maj Jones did snore' -
Or. "If you had seen Miss Jenkins, with her
black hair all awry
Showln off her crazy paintln's where the water
looked like sky "
So I grew to wait his coming with aa interest at
last.
For he always had a story of some happ'ning in
the past
When I chanced to speak of music. "That re
minds me. sir." snM he.
"Of e story 'l i Strange a tune. I guess, aa
e»<_r be
"Lota of folks was here that summer, anil most
of 'em came for fun.
nut they didn't s cm to hare it—read'.n' was
tout ail they done
Ac J 1 says to my Maria 'Wakln' up is all they
nee<l
They are ready "nou?h for frolic, but they want
some one to lead.
•■Wall, it wa?n't three days after that a bran'-
new boarder came.
And he seemed a nice young feller, er'rybody
though t the same
Jest as I had calkerlated. long before the week
was throueh.
He had woke up all the boarders, showed them
there was lots to do
" 'Stead of sltt!n' readin' novels as they did be
fore he came.
Now they tr;im; d the woods, went tishin',
climbed the hills, or played a came
But one day I noticed scmethin' that perplexed
me for a time-
That young feller'd left off goin' when they took
a row or climb.
"So I asked my wife about it, and she answered,
with a smile
•Guess you'll find him in the parlor, plays the
organ all the while."
Sure enough. I heard the organ; but that didn't
make it clear
Why a mnn should like the parlor better than
our outside here.
••Then I thought I'd have to ask him what it
meant: he might be 111;
So the parlor door i opened—but I didn't pass
the sill
There he sat before the organ, playin in some
pure, high key.
Near him sat another boarder, and a pretty girl
was she<
"Wall, I thought I wasn't wanted by them
young folks quite so near,
But I heard the girl ask sweetly: 'Won't you
plea«e play my tune, dear?'
So I leaned against the door post. Just to hear
what he would play.
For 1 always did love music, and I loveitto this
day
"WON'T YOO I'LEASE PI.AY MT TI'MI, DEAR?"
"In about a half a minute, be began a little
strain
That reminded me of birds I've heard a singin'
down the lane.
And I seemed to smell the flowers and to feel
the summer breeze,
Aa his hands moved slow and gentle up and
down the Iv'ry keys.
"Then the birds all BtODDCd a-alnsin' and a
cloud camn in the sky,
And 1 felt as if I'd like to have a good, old
fashioned cry,
For I clean forgot Maria, with her lovln' heart
so dear.
And 1 didn't seem to have a friend in all this
great world here.
Then the music got beseechin" and It came sc
sweet and low
That I felt my hear t a-yearnin'—Jest for what, 1
didn't know;
But It made me feel as If I'd like to make up, if
I might,
With the folks I bore a grudge to, ask forgive-
Less and do right
"I was feelln' awful wicked, awful lonesome,
awful sad—
When the sun came out a-shlnin'. and the birds
all felt «o glad
That they sang like they was crazy, and my
heart got light and gay,
As 1 thought of my Maria as «ho looked our
weddin' day
"I had truly loved her then, but now I loved her
ten times more,
Why her hands was doubly precious with the
wrinkles that they bore.
Then the music changed a little, and the sounds
came long and clear,
Till they faded In tho distance, as 1 brushed
away a tear
"All that day and all that ev'nln' I felt kinder
lost and Queer,
For that cur'ous tune he played her kept a
ringin' In my ear.
And I found that had writ It, and that made
her love II more,
bo he played it for her often, and l listened a«
tho door
"Wall, the summer soon was over, and the
boarders went away.
And it made me awful lonoeoine not to hear the
organ play
Then thu autumn changed to winter, and on«
day I had to go
To tho city on siine business to collect a bill or
so
"Business n'tiled, 1 was walkln' up Broadway
that afternoon,
When 1 saw a-comin' toward me that young
man that played the lune.
And as he :uy band was shakln'. sayln' 't was a
glad surprise,
I was notion' a sadness that had come into hl«
eyoa
"As wo walked along together, through th<
fastly fallio' snow,
I Inquired how his girl was, and he said h«
didn't know
And before I left the city be had told me ali
about

HOW IT WAS STARTED.
Founding of the First Church of
Almo.
[Original. ]
fROM the fullness
of worldly wis
dom spake the
colonel on this
wise: "Yes, we
all respect a
good man, ibut
we like a man
with a consider
able flavor of
the world about
him. Not that
we want a
sporting gent
for a parson,
but, what I
mean to say is,
that we do not
want a pious
refrigerator in
this church. Elder White is good. He
is so blamed good that I gravely sus
pect bus baldness arises from wearing
his halo to bed with him. He is too
eternally good for Almo. Now I have
just the man for you. Voting, smart,
full of snap, and just the sort of man
you Tike to meet, the sort of man you
tal.e to from the first. Don't you see?"
"Do j'ou know him personally,
colonel?" asked Wilson, the youngest
member of the committee.
"Weil, no; I cannot say that I do.
But Revans told me about him. and 1
have confidence in Bevan.V judgment.
That lievans is the best judge of a
otcci I crrr iiilrt."
"You inveterate old rancher, do you
average up men as you would cattle on
the range?"
"A person that Is a good judge of a
cow is likely to be a good judge of a
man."
"But see here, colonel, you forget
that Almo is no longer a mining camp,
but a civilized, high-toned metropolis.
We want a scholar, a gentleman and a
mau of dignity to preside over the for
tunes of Trinity church."
"Yes, yes, sonny, you know a blamed
sight more than ordinary folks, but the
old colonel has had more experience iu
this vale of tears. I have been with
this church from the start, and bave
watched its growth and prosperity
until the present, and it is my judg
ment that hustle beats dignity all hol
low in religion as well as in politics.
Of course we don't want a holy circus
in Trinity church, but we do want
something livelier than a congres
sional record."
"By the way, colonel," said Jones, "I
once heard that Trinity church had a
rather unusual beginning. You say
you were one of the founders. l'er
haps you can tell us the truth of the
matter."
"Well, I don't mind, if it is under
stood that it goes no further than the
present company. There are not
many now living who know the facts
about the founding of the first church
of Almo, and, for reasons that will
manifest themselves before long, it
would be well if the whole matter
were forgotten, for you see, it was un
usual, and, looking at it from the ex
perience of years, I am led to !>elievo
that it was hardly a creditable begin
ning Hardly the p.-oper thing," added
the colonel, in a tone of thoughtful re
gret. "St> you'll say nothing about it,
boys."
"Oh, certainly not."
"It was in '72 or '73, I forget which,
in the fall of the year, that the singular
circumstance occurred which laid the
foundation for the building of the first
church of Almo. The town was only a
mining camp then—dance balls, sa
loons, gambling houses and all sorts of
devilment going on. 1 had made a
pretty good strike out in the hills that
summer and was spending a few weeks
in camp, expecting to go on a visit o
the cast. One evening 1 was standing
in front of the Accidental hotel—a slab
shanty then—talking with Mart Har
rigan. when the stage eatne by and
dropped two passengers. One of them
I knew by sight, having met him its
Denver a couple of years before. He
was a rough-looking customer, but 1
never heard any bad of him. The oth
er passenger was a young man. pale
wd thin, dressed in black. 11a wore
spectacles and carried a eonsuniptive
!ookir~ bag in one band and a few
books in the other. Book agent or
missionary, I said to Marl, and he said
he guessed so. Bascomb—the other fel
low's name was Bascomb—came up and
ihook hands with us.
" 'Who's that tenderfoot you brought
along with you?' asked Ilarrigan.
"'I got an idea from what he said
that he was a sort of a parson. Wants
to start a church down here. Didn't
say much to me. Too tough for him,
I reckon."
"'See here, colonel,' said Ilarrigan,
times lias been powerful quiet around
here lately. Couldn't we have a little
fun with the kid—just initiate him—
then do the square thing by helping on
the good work.' •
" 'I tell you Voys, I've got the proper
lay,' f.ays Bascomb. 'The fellow let it
out that he had several hundred dollars
with him, that the missionary society
had given for a starter in building the
church. Now we might get him into a
little game, clean him out, and, ufter
letting hitn grunt alittle, slake him for
his gospel works.'
" 'lt's a go,' says Ilarrigan and 1.
"Well, w<- organized uud laid our
plans. The boys decided that I was
the slickest looking of the crou d, and I
must get in with the fellow, pump him
and so ou. It worked beautifully.
After buppcr lie came out and sat dowu
"I BRACXD TO HIM. "
by himself, looking sort of lonesome, so
I braced up to him, and, after a few
commonplace remarks, told him my
name. He said his name was Willits,
Jeremiah Willits. It didn't take much
work to pump him, as he turned out to
be a pleasant, chatty fellow. When he
got started, he told me his plans and
hopes: how he had been .sent out by the
missionary society to start a church in
some promising western town. He had
chosen Almo, because it looked to him
as if the place was bound to grow and
because it seemed to need the gospel—
ond you bet it did. So we talked on,
getting pretty well acquainted. After
awhi e Ilarrigan and Bascomb strode
in, and I introduced them to the ■ -ug
parson. He told them ail about his
projects aud wc had a very plea.sant,
chatty time until late in the evening.
"Next day Willits went around town
trying to scare upj» few religiously-dis
posed persons and he found them
mighty few and far between, I can tell
you, and he came to supper looking
pretty blue. Things seemed to be get
ting ripe for our little enterprise, so
after supper I took him a little walk
around the town. He unloaded himself
of his views about the terrible moral
degeneracy of the place, and I could
see that he was feeling down on his
luck. •
" 'See here,' says I, 'you've got a
little touch of the cold, and your liret
is out of order, and your appetite is
poor, and you've got a coat on youi
tongue. That's what ails this town,'
says I. 'Now, you come back to the
hotel and I'll fix you up a dose that
will change the whole complexion oi
things in no time,' says I.
"We trotted back to the hotel and 1
took him up to my room and fixed him
a rip-snorting glas of whisky and
quinine. He took it as grate fully as a
baby and said it seemed rather strong.
" "You bet it's strong,' said 1. 'lt will
jnst yank them blues out of you in
short order.'
"I didn't kuow how much the fellow
coul I stand, so 1 sat down and kept ou
talking for awhile, until I see she be
gan to work, then I gave him anothei
dose, and in half an hour he was just
meller and joyful, and got to tellins
some pretty rocky old seminary yarns
that 1 judge were just about as old ai
the Christian era.
"While all this was goingon Baseomt
and Ilarrigan had drifted in and begar
to lake part in tbe entertaiumcnt. 1
told some tales of adventures in the
bills, and Ilarrigan got to telling about
a wonderful game of whist which he
once played. It was such an interest
ing game that he went and got his
cards to illustrate the play he was tell
ing about. Bless you, that young fel
low bit easy. He remarked that he
used to be very fond of whist in hit
early days, anil 'twan't long before we
were enjoying ourselves immensely
with that innocent pastime. Of course
the boys got to telling about tlieit
poker experiences between the deals
and, finally, the young fellow said lie
would really like to know how the
game was played.
" "Suppose we get out the chips and
go through the motions, so as the par
son can see how it's done,' says Has
comb.
"Well,to make a long story short, we
got to playing penny ante, and had a
real amusing time for awhile, things
running pretty even, a little in the par
son's favor, perhaps. About that time
1 gave him another installment of liver
remedy, and the boys likewise took
some. He began to feel real happy, a
sort of a 'cherry-red,' so to speak.
Then a funny thing occurred. The
l>oys got up a jack-pot with alxmt fifty
cents in it After a bit Ilarrigan
opened with four chips, Bascomb and
Willits stood, each drawing three
cards. Ilarrigan kind of smiled and
bet a dollar's worth, Bascombsaw liim.
but the parson shoved in his whole
pile, tothe tune of five dollars. I threw
up, but Ilurrigan and Bascomb called
him. 'Four tens,' said the parson.
'lt's your money," says liascomb and
Ilarrigan, each throwing down a ful
ha.)d. Tlier. we started in forull it wa»
worth. Twenty-five cent ante and the
roof for limit.
"By this time the young fellow had
just about live drinks, liberal drinks,
of good old corn whisky, and waa
gamey as a bronco. He pulled out his
poeketbook and showed up credentials
to the extent of over a thousand dol
lars, and, as the rest of us were pretty
well heeled, we started the game. My,
but that was a tremendous game, and
the odd thing about it was that t he little
parson kept winning. He had us all
broke before long. Then we bought a
lot more chips and went at it again.
We were not uneasy, for we calculated
to rake in the whole shooting match
before long. After we bad been play
ing with varying lttek for an hour or
two 1 got a beautiful hand. Four
queens and a king. Only one thing
could beat it, four aces. 1 gently
shoved in about fifty dollars' worth.
Bascomb raised me another fifty. The
parson another, and Ilarrigan went a
Jiundred better. I put in five, Bascomb
the same, and the parson, after looking
at his hand for a minute, shoved in
stack after stack of bis chips, and then
put a five hundred dollar bill on top of
that. Ilarrigan borrowed a wad from
Bascomb, leaving him broke, and it
took my last dollar to call him. I felt
sorry for the young chap, but it had to
be done. Then wo showed up. Ilarri
gan held four jaeks, 1 the four queens,
and Willits—well, he had f-iur aces.
That finished the game, and three mor j
disgusted men you never saw. How
ever, we put a good face ou it, and,
after arranging A set-to for the next
evening, we parted at the very early
hour of three in the morning.
"Next day I met Ilarrigan. 'S'pose
we look up the pamon,' says he.
" 'AH right. We'll have to work him
to-night It's no use trying to plav a
square game with these parsons," says
I. So we dropped around to the hotel
to look for \\ illits.
" 'Willits?' says the clerk; 'why, "ie
has gone."
" 'Oone!'
" 'That's what. Left on the early
6tr.^e.'
"I looked at Ilarrigan and he looked
at me.
" 'Here is a letter ho left for you,
colonel,' says tbe clerk.
"Bascomb had come in while we were
talking, and upon hearing the new i be
gan to swenr fluently. "Open yer let
ter and let's see what yer gosh-blanked
preacher has to say."
"I opened the letter and in it was a
five hundred-dollar bill and a note:
