Inexorable change has not spared even
the drug store. It shows marks from the
onslaught of diversified commercialism.
Many of the Kansas druggists, who are in
annual meeting at Wichita, are strahgers
to the one-ideaed shops their fathers kept.
The- modern medicine dispensary, where
the cure-alls, the cure-somes and the cure-
nones await'takers, is minus the dear old
smells it once had.
The pharmaceutical odors 6f yesterday
we know, no more. Strange fumes are
rampant. The drug store ozone is heavy
with new scents. The change is due, to
the recent popular innovation of grafting
young restaurants, with the usual appurte-
nances pertaining thereto, onto the bodies
of fullgrown apothecaries.
Our familiar and much-feared old friend,
carbolic acid, no longer hangs over the
prescription case unmolested as high chief
fumigator. He has a rival. It comes from
a pot of boiled beef and cabbage odorously
stewing away in the stock room. Thanks
—or otherwise—to modern merchandising
methods. , The aroma of the quick lunch
has taken all the bravado out of our for-
mer acquaintance asafoetida. Even the ill-
est smelling of the ill, ammonia valerian-
ate, is meek before the new order of things.
Carbon bisulphide now speaks only in
whispers in the presence of onions frying

where between the case of cosmetics and

hyde, which used to come half way up the

garlic in the chile. •
Gone is the timorous, delightful extract

ing nearby. And. kindly spread over these

petizing mantle of steaming vegetable

a plump olive and a salted cracker on the
side.
These are the modern manifestations of
the new era drug store that, without re-
ducing its compounding efficiency, have
made it the popular meeting place of the
community, the last word in elegance ami
‛ the first word in business smartness and
long profits.

She Needed It
For a long time the audience had endured
without a murmur the heartrending appeals of
the injured heroine.
At length one member of the suffering au-
dience, turning to'his fellow-sufferer seated
next to him, said:
“That leading lady must be a new hand' at
the game. Her acting is really too bad."
“Yes, you’re right,” replied his companion,
"understand they dug her out of some ama-
teur show."
“I suppose then that this is her first pro-
fessional, engagement. Hasn't she ever ap:
peared o nthe legitimate before ?”
“Only for charity.”

“ 'I know her,' he said. 'I know her well.' .

you know her, why don’t you go over and sit

An Irishman can do more developing with'
a wheelbarrow than an average boy can with
an automobile.—Temple Mirror.
It depends on what he wants to develop, and
is unfair, anway, in its conception; an Irish-
man can develop more in a given time than
any other species of the hurhan race, there-
by being created a circumstance which ren-
ders comparison unjust! As to the means
whereby the given end is attained: A wheel-
barrow in the first instance was the illogical
misconception of a tortured brain, and there
are no improved models of late perfection. It
is generally conceded to be the nearest ap-
proach to a1 human idiosyncrank, outside of a
white mule, that has ever reached a state of
semi-completion through divine or mortal in-
spiration. Its possibilities are as the sands of
the sea: its certainties established beyond be-
lief and accounting, and it* pretensions to any
rang or degree of honest usefulness remain
shrouded in the same impenetrable mystery
which attended its origination. Only the elect
may ever hope to succced in driving a wheel-
barrow as it should be driven, and even the
elect may overestimate the privileges of their
election. The wheelbarrow is as capricious
as a girl, and as fractious as it is superfluous.
And with an Irishman operating it it would be
a simple challenge to the gods, in the matter
of possible developments.—Denison Record-
Chronicle.
The Abilene Reporter recently closed a sub-
scription contest, in which free trips to the
Panama-Pacific Exposition were the prizes.
The Reporter management, to use a slarg
term, was “stung" in the contest, and is not
ashamed to admit it. indeed, the Reporter
is doing what every other newspaper should
do under such circumstances—is .sending a cir-
cular letter to the newspaper men of Texas
telling of the contest and giving a vieled warn-
ing against the plan of this contest in which
money* has been lost. The interests of the
newspapers of Texas are mutual. individuals
can not continue to lose money on contests
or other schemes without indirectly affecting
the prosperity of all. If every newspaper man-
ager would adopt the policy of giving his fel-
low managers his experience in such affairs
as the contest at Abilene there would be an
immediate decrease in the number of worthless
schemes which are always being foisted upon
the publishers of the State.— Brownwood Bul-
letin.
The best plan is to let the contest business
severely, alone and devote the energy formerly
wasted upon it to improving the paper,
most inviting in the freshness of virgin green,
bright with their ribbons of daisies and dan- )
delions, will, before long, be parched "and 7

Cultivation, Harvesting and—Marketing.
| Atlanta Journal.)
The occupation of farming comprise* three
distinct departments, namely cultivation, har-
vesting. and marketing. Much thought and
Attention have been given in the past to the
first two. But it is only within very recent
times that the last one has received any atten-
tion at all.
It is now being discoveted that in impor-
tanceit leads perhaps the others. There has
I long been a cry for diversified crop* in the
I South. Little attention was paid to it at first,
, but conditions within the past year brought
I the farmers to a real desire to break away
from the one-crop system. They were con-
fronted immediately with the problem of mar-
keting their products— a problem that has con-
fronted 'and oftentimes dumfounded and dis-
couraged every man in the past who has at-
tempted to get out of the rut of raising cotton
and corn oly. It was no trouble for such a ’
man to raise abundance of other crops, but he
frequently saw them spoil on his hands after •
they had been harvested through his inability
to sell them. This inability may have grown
out of ignorance of how best to pack his prod-
ucts so that they would keep and be attractive
to the city consumer or it may have been
through want of knowledge of the best centers
in which to dispose of the fruits of his fields. '
It is gratifying, however, to note the ef-
forts that are now being put forth to assist
the farmers in the marketing problem. The
Federal Government has begun upon it. State
governments are formulating many plans of
help, chambers of commerce and other indus-
trial organizations are studying methods and
wholesale and retail grocers in all large cities
are making it their special duty to co-operate
with farmers in showing them ways of packing
and preparing country products, if the articles'
are to find ready sale in city stores.
With all these agencies at work, it will un-
doubtedly be brought about within the next V
few years that farmers will be as familiar with \
all the intricacies of marketing as they are* "
now familiar with furrows, harrow* and har-
vester*.

Bum
He's a little dog, with a stubby tail, and a
moth-eaten coat of tan.
And his legs are short, of the wabbly sort; I
doubt if they ever ran;
And he howls at night, while in broad daylight
he sleeps like a bloomin’ log.
And he likes the feed of the gutter breed;
he's a most irregular dog.
I call him Bum. and in total sum he's all that
his name implies.
For he's just a tramp with a highway -.tamp
that culture can not disguise;
And his friends.’ I’ve found, in the streets
abound, be they urchins or dog- or men :
Yet he sticks to me with a fiendish glee. It is
truly beynd my ken.
I talk to him when Fm lonesome-like, and I'm
sure that he understands
When he looks at me so attentively and gently
licks my hands:
Then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes,
but I never say aught thereat,
For the good Lord knows I can buy more
clothes, but never a friend like that!
So my good old pa!, my irregular dog, my flea-
bitten, stub-tailed friend.
Has become a part of my very heart, to be
cherished till lifetime’* end;
And on Judgment Day, if I take the way that
leads where the righteous meet.
if my dog is barred by the heavenly guard-
we'll both of us brave the heat!
