Our new \lllk building is under going some tear down and build up operations this week. The hard storm of a few weeks ago covered the north and west sides of the brick wall and, in spite of the care and skill used in building, played some pranks with the fresh cement which is supposed to have caused the wall to bulge near the top. It is an old proverb that "wish ing and woulding never made a full sack." That just means that a man lias got to put his desires into execution if he is to accomplish anything. The merchant who does nothing to attract customers to his store, who does not inform the public of the goods be has to sell, may wish and would wish for people t*> enter his doors and buy across bis counter. It is the man who does things that wins. Inconsistent Man. He tells funny stories about how a woman drives a horse, and steers his automobile up a telegraph pole. He Is always adding postscripts to his letters —but he uses the long dis tance telephone to explain what he omitted in his business communlca ' tion. Ho can explain the wireless teleg raphy system to his wife, but he can not understand her description of a new bonnet. He loves to tell of the splendid ex ercise of sawing wood —but ho is will ing to pay another man to enjoy the exercise. He writes cards to the papers against problem plays—and swears at the ticket window if he cannot get a front seat when the ballet comes to town. He doesn't goto church on Sunday because he wants to read the paper— but through the week he is satisfied to glance at the headlines on his way down town. Mercantile Appraisment.
