good goods, properly advertised
would bring results was pointed out
to one of the publishers of The
Chronicle last week, during the

Cameron Malleable and Ingot Iron
Ranges at W. Geisonhelmer's. This
demonstration was held for six days
and the store was crowded each

ej'i:h i'i w county. ri he first assign
tnent of ranges as sold beforo
three days had passed and Mr. Gels
enhe'liner was forced to order a sec

plete stock of these ranges and will
be glad to explain their merits to
you at any time.

LOTS OF HUNTING IN SPAIN
'JM of Firearm? Very Extensive. Ow
ing tb the Sporting ProcMvitiee
of tho People. ^
The u?e of firearm* le very eaten
slve In Spain. Hunting Is so popular
(hat 20,000.000 empty sporting cart'
ridges were Imported Into Spain last
year, and of these 2,300.000 entered
the port of Valencia alone. More
than two-thlrda of the total are of
ordinary and low grade quality, coat
log about 65 cents a hundred unload
ed. but there la aleo a limited, mar
ket for very high grade sporting cart
ridges with deep metallic Maine,
adapted for heayy, charges of smoke
less powders, which are Imported
from Great Britain and the United
States and are retailed at from $1.45
to f 1.08 a hundred according to length
and llnlsh.
The natural sporting proclivities of
? inhabitants of Valencia are foeter
</ the proximity of the Albufera,
un extensive marshy lake visited In
the fall and winter by myriads of wild
duck, coots and other water - fowl
that migrate from northern Europe,
while /the forest wastes and arid
brushwood hills of the Interior arc
moderately stocked ' with red part
ridge, hares and rabbits. All the
motet, cultivated valloys following tho
course of streams are also visited lu
the spring and Hummer by migratory
quail thart como over from North Af
rica.
Trade In sporting guns, pistols and
revolvers Is of considerable Impor
tance, but only the very high grades
are imported. Nearly all medium qual
ity, ordinary and low priced products
are manufactured in the country,
mostly at JClbar, in the Basque prov
inces in the north of Spain, whero
excellent workmen; many of whom
study at tho leading arms factories
of Birmingham aud Liege, make .al
most every form of gun, rifle, pistol
and revolver. The barrels aro usually
Imported In the rough from Great
Britain or Belgium, and are bored and
finished at the Spanish factories.

What He Had.
Preparatory to their departuro fot
another city for a protracted period a
Baltimore family had their furniture
and effects taken to a storage house.
As the workmen were busily engaged
In carrying down from the second and
third stories of the house various ar
ticles the mistress of tho house heard
from tho room wherein she was giving
directions sounds of much pufllng and
blowing, as one of the men was stag
gering down the stairs under a
weighty piece of furniture.
? "What aro you taking down?" she
called out. "The light oak dresser?"
"No, mum," answered a stalwart
Celt, "Olm takin' down the heavy ma
hogany one."
Equal to the Occasion.
"You're no judgo of literature oi
rhetoric, Sara. Why, you couldn't do
It to save your life if I asked you to
plve mo a good illustration of a flat
contradiction in terms.
"Couldn't I? All right; the next
time you ask me to lend you $5 you
will find my decided negative 10
quite positive."
8kipplng to the Last Chapter.
"Have you read the Bible?" asko?
the serious young man.
"Well," replied the frank young
woman, "I can't say that I havo read
all of it."
"I see; you have read Genesis and
Revelations."
"How did you know?"
"That's the way a woman always
read 8 any book."
Heredity.
"Jhdgo," said the guilty man, "I in
herit thlB felonious habit. I can't re
sist It. My father was a grafter and
my mother a photographer. I can't
help taking things."
"Then take seven years at hard la

WHY CONDUCTOR WAS MAD
because Youth Disowned Acquaint*
ance With Woman Whose Faro
Remained Unpaid.
There was an uncomfortable conges
tion at the rear end of the pay-as-you
enter car, every one trying to get out
of the rain and mud and only a third
having their nickels ready. A young
man gave the conductor a quarter, re
ceived his Ave nickels and dropped
one of them Into the box. "Here,"
shouted the conductor, "put In an
other nickel." v. "What for? I ain't
two people," retorted the young man
angrily.
"Well, who's that woman up there?"
"I don't know. I never saw her be
fore."
"Well, she didn't pay.'" But the In
sistent passengers demanded atten
tion and the man at the box had to
drop the subject, although he looked
Into the car lkter, glaring with espe
cial disfavor at the youth who dis
owned acquaintance with the woman
whose fare remained unpaid.
4,^- Game All Right.
While playing an engagement In
St. Louis a couple of seasons ago, Tom
Lewis struck up an acquaintance with
a wealthy Texan living in the same
hotel. There was a ball game sched
uled that day between the Browns
and a visiting club and Lewis Invited
his new friend to go out and see it.
The battle was a particularly hot
one, the game going to an eleven*
Inning tie. When they~1fot back to
the hotel the Texan, who had become
Imbued with some of Lewis* enthusi
asm, began to recount the scenes and
close plays of the game to the hotel
clerk.
"Well," said that worthy, "I'm glad
you saw such a good game."
"Wall, now," said the Texan, "I reck
on as how it was a good game all
right. Why, sir, them two passel of
youngsters just played and played till
plumb dark and nary one made ary
one."
Passing of the Tollgato.
The passing today of the old toll
gato at the northern entrance to the
city is well worthy of the fireworks,
oratory, and general jubilation which
It has inspired. Strangers entering
Baltimore by the Relsterstown road
could hardly believe-that this was
really a city of the fifth order, when
a village functionary had first to lift
a bar and demand their pennies be
fore they were permitted to enter the
sacred metropolitan confines. The
good roads movement, so intelligently
urged and fostered i>y Governor
Crothers and the Democratic party,
has already dono more to Instill life
and enterprise and a new spirit into
the counties of this state than all oth
sr movements of recent years com
bined. The passing of the old toll
fate is symbolical of the new order
and the larger spirit of enterprise
tnd progress. ? Baltimore Sun.

In spite of the distractions of the
Tobacco company's reorganisation, Mr.
James B. Duke bestows much atten
tion upon the work of developing and
