Schnapps tobacco. Octagon soap and Arbuckle’s coffee are all hot sellers. Why? Because you can secure nice things for the tags and signatures. The quality of the goods is no better than others. Now, by trading with me you can secure the same ])resents and buy anything you want. I have sent your name to the American Saving .Stamp people at Cincinnati, and in a few days you will receive a premium book which will explain the matter fully. The })roposition is this: 1 keep the stamps at my store, and every 10c worth of anything you buy from me entitles you to •one saving stamp. These stamps are to be j>asted in your book as you buy the goods, and one stamp is worth the value of three toI>a<*co tags or Arbuckles or Octagon signatures in securing presents. When you get vour book tilled with stamps you bi’ing it to me and select your premium and 1 will have it sent you, freight prepaid. Now, the beauty about the saving stamp business is— You Can Buy Anything in My Line and Secure These Premiums, And to get ]>i‘eraiinns on sugar, lard, coffee, flour, meat, etc., is like getting money from home. Memember that this applies to tlie .‘{D-day customer as well as cash or cash produce. When you trade with me you don’t have to guess to win a pi*i/e: just as sure as you trade with me you will get a prize, and thei-e is no guessing in it. And I wish to say while the Ut-off sale was a grand success, I have this day called it in and have secured the American Saving Stamp peo])le as my pai liior. and will have to send them the 10 per cent, to ])ay for the stamps that secures your ]>resents. Now, if my ])rices are not right don’t buy, but if they are buy from me and secure these nice premiums delivered at your door free of charge. Respectfully, King Edward us Mediator. The report that Kin^ Edward of England has delicately tendered his good oitices a.s a mediator in the war between Russia and .Japan and that C’zar Nicholas lias intimated that such mediation would be accepted is inter- «?stnig and signiticant and may prove to te extremely important. As the titular head of the leading and most powerful European govern ment the Icing of England is well fitted lor such a pacific mission. He Is pecul iarly situated with reference to the rulers of Europe, being the uncle by marriage of the czar of liussia, Nicho las II.; the brother of the dowager em- jsusinessy Society and Scallions. The perplexing case of a young inaa ill a Philadelphia department store ia of peculiar Interest ;it tliis particular time, when the scallion, otherwi.se known as the young onion, makes Its appearance in its most seductive form. In common with everybody whose gas tronomic tastes are properly developeil, this young man Is fond of scallions. It appears that at a recent midday luncheon he indulged his appetitt^ for this fragrant and succulent vegetable, and the floorwalker detected the odor, whereupon that Imperious Individual Informed the young man that he must not eat onions, as the odor was oft’en- press of Germany and uncle of the | sive to customers, and that a repetition emperor, William II., and son-In-Iaw | of the offense would mean his dis- of the king of Denmark, whose family j missal from the establishment.

While his age—he Is [ presumably Is, he wrote to an editor To My Fellow Citizens of Brevard and Transylvania County. This is to remind you tliat I am stiil in busines.s. And notwithstanding the fact that I liave to compete with socalled “spot cash'' and '‘cut price’’ stores, I am still doing some business; and if good goods, fair dealing and accommodation (where it is deserving) is ajipreciated as it should be, I expect to do even more business in the future than I liave in the past.

Jenkins & Duckworth sixty-three—gives him a natural pres tige with his nephews, the czar and the emperor, he Is still In the possession of his physical and mental powers and has the advantage of long years of personal intimacy with them, during which he Is reputed to have won their affection and respect, a fact that may well re-enforce his position as the sov ereign of a mighty and worldwide do minion. Though he may not direct the policy of his government, he can Inllu- eivce It Indirectly and can very effectu ally co-operate with it. He has a broad er and more Intimate knowledge of the for advice on the subject. The etlltor advised him not to eat oulons until after the close of business hours, when he might eat them with perfect safety and to his heart’s and stomach’s con tent. This he decided to do. But hla perplexities did not end here. It seems that besides his passionate fondness for scallions the young man delights In the society of cultivated young ladies and Is In the habit of call ing on them frequently' after business hours. So, very propefly and sensibly, he wrote to another editor, who told, him he should not eat onions when affairs of all the nations with which he 1 contemplating a social call. After the Phone 20.

He has also the reputation, no doubt well founded, of being .a man of calm judg ment and of peace loving temperament, with no suspicion of weakness in his attachment to the honor or the inter ests of his own people. What such a man in such a position may feel and think and do is likely to have a sub stantial and even decisive influence on the course of events. While the Interests of Great Britain and Rus.sia may clash at various points, there does not seem to be any such Ir reconcilable difference between the na tional aims and purposes of the two powers as would forbid an understand ing between them. The essential ob jective of Russia has been for several generations access to the ocean high way of the world through ports not frozen half the year, preferably through the Mediterranean, witli possession or control of Constantinople, the first seat of the empire of the east and the birth place of the (.Jreek church. Motives of interest, ambition and religion combine to make this the strongest national de sire of the Russians. Their failure to accomplish it has been largely due to British opposition, which has been in spired through fear of Russia’s inter ference \>itli Great Britain’s ’.'.terests In Asia. If now British opposition to Russia’s possession of a Mediterranean port were withdrawn, the latter would no doubt be willing to forego her i)os- session of Manchuria and an open port on the Yellow sea, which are essen tially the things Russia is fighting for in the far east and which Japan so strenuously objects to her having. If Russia were enabled thus to reach the sea in tlie near east she would un call he could eat with propriety as many onions as he desired. As a rule he does not return from his calls until late in the evening, when he is sleepy, and onions do not then Interest him. Manifestly he cannot eat the flagrant scallion before attending church Sun day morning, nor can he indulge him self at his Sunday dinner If he expects to meet young ladles in the evening. And of course no department store young man would omit calling Sunday evening of all nights. With his onion eating privileges thus completely cut off, his position Is painfully perplexing. He highly values his place In tlie de partment store, not only for the salary, but for the social prestige that goes with it. What is lie to do? Shall he indulge his passion for scallions after business hours and spend his evenings In a hall bedroom remote from the re fining Influence of female .society, or shall he seek female society and strive to overcome his natural passion for the odoriferous but toothsome diet? He might, however, simply cut the Gordlan knot by eating onions as often as the desire comes upon him and cultivate female society just the same, trusting to luck and his redeeming qualit’^a to carry him thr^'ugh. Butter, Milk and Cheese. An interesting monograph lately Is sued by the national department of ag riculture observes that “Iowa is con spicuous as a producer of butter. New York of cheese, Wisconsin of both but ter and cheese. New York again of market milk and Illinois of condensed milk.” The magnitude of the dairy interests of the countrj’ Is shown by the fact dotibtcdly be glad to withdraw from I that of tlie 5,739,G57 farms in the Unit- the far east. | Some such arrangement as this ! would settle at once the questions of the orient and the I.evant which have for generations vexed the statesmen of | Europe. Of course it could only be ; done through the safeguarding of the | essential interests of all parties. For j Great Britain the first necessity is an i adequate guarantee of her position in | India. A second and hardly less im- | l)ortant necessity is tlie security of her j trade, pre.sent and future, in the Chi- ed States 4,514,210 keep cows, and of the latter 357,578 derive 40 per cent of their Income from the dairy and are properly classifiable as dairj’ farms. There are 07,822,330 cattle in the coun try, of which about 18.000,000 are kept for dairj’ purposes; nearly a million of the latter are what are called “town cows.” In the total cow population 700,000 are “pure bloods,” or aliout 1 per cent; 10 per cent more have at least one-half improved blood in them. The average value of a dairy cow is nese dominion. For Japan the prime ■ ^^^out $30. It takes 23< cows to supply 1,000 persons. Sixty years ago it took 283; that is a proof that improved breeding is increasing the milk pro duction of the animals. The annual milk production is 7,728,5&3,341) gallons, or 101 gallons for everj’ American. The annual value of our dairy products is $005,315,354, of which butter ac counts for about $20(J,000,000, cheese necessity is absolute safety for her island empire, which is menaced by Russian control of Manchuria and a fortified port on the Yellow sea. Se curity as to India is the crux of the situation. It must of course be ade quate. With this assurance Great Britain could look witli complacency upon Russian occuj)aney of C’onstan- | tinople. If it be possible to safeguard j ^28,000.000, condensed milk $12,000,000, milk consumed $217,000,000 and by products $41,000,000. all the interests involved, such a settle ment would bring peace and honor to all. If it is toward some such under standing as tliis that King Edward Is working, the whole world has reason to wisli him success. It is a great and diflicult mission, but it is not impossi ble of accomplishment. It is apparent that Abdul Hamid means to carrj' out his Macedonian re form pledges in about the same way as Russia meant to carry out her pledge to leave Manchuria. It may be noted that American sym- pathy for either Japan or Russia has not reached the point where children are being named after the heroes of the present war. The eminent Norwegian explorer, Nansen, does not believe in modei’u sport. He tliinks that the excessive praise bestowed on record breakers makes them vain and unfits them for practical life. Their bodies are un equally developed, and they fall easy victims to tuberculosis and other dis eases. What the young folks should do, he says, is to go out into the woods and study nature. His motto Is, “Plen ty of bodily exercise, but no sport.” The census bureau has about com pleted the enumeration of the Philip pine Islands, and Spain will learn for the first time what she lost. C
