1 have been selling goods
in Union County for 20
years; have customers
that have been buying
from me all this time,
they say that they find
my goods better than
they can get for the same
money anywhere, while
many of my competitors
claim they are selling
goods at cost. 1 wish to
say to the people of
Union County that 1 will
save them money if they
will only give me the
chance, regardless of
what others are doing.

DISAPPOINTED.
Behold the man! Ho alts apart.
Bad. helpless and forlorn;
Bruised Is his tender, blooding; heart.
With Borrow warped ond*torn.
Why does ha alt the livelong day
With eyelids moist and dlmT
Because leap year has flown away.
And no one called for him.
Behold him when the year was young.
Just twelve brief months ago.
Hope In hie ear a ditty sung
To measure soft nnd low.
Arrayed In brand now coat and vest.
With shoes and tlo to match.
He waited, feeling at his best.
And thought he was a catch.
But as the days slipped on apace
I And months and weeks sped by
i No one took pity on his case;
The pretty girls were shy.
i He caught some emlles that turned Ids
head.
With sweet words they wore free,
! But not a girl came round and said.
"Oh. kind sir, marry me."
' And that Is why he carries round
His feelings In a sling:
No girl In him a mate has found.
None has him on the string.
At last on him has downed the truth.
He reads the book of life
Avid realizes that each youth
Must rustlo his own wife.
Skating.
While nkntldg can only l>c learned by
actual practice on real Ice, yet n few
hints might assist the beginner and
help him to side step some of the
things that cause the young skater to
walk around feeling sore on the world
because It rose up und bumped him a
few times when be wasn't doing a
thing to It.
One of the tricks that the kindergarten
skater should not attempt Is to
skate on bis ear. After he has learned
the steps he may essay to a few fancy
turns like that, but for the first few
days It Is better for him to Rkate wholly
on his feet. If possible.
In teaching a girl to skate always select
one that is good looking. Then
yon will have plenty of help In picking
her np when she falls, and It wont be
so hard on your back.
Never bump Into a fat man who Is
skating backward. Walt nntil he has
turned around, as his stomach makes a
much softer cushion.
These, of coarse, are only hints. The
successful skater must pick the art up,
and In the meantime he will have to
pick himself up a few dozon times the
first few days.

A LEPAGE PICTURE.
Tke Werk That BrMghl til* Artist
Pibllc Recognition.
The label on a certain spring water
still in use was des.gnuted by Dn
VInurler, who wus probably not overpaid
for it. aud a New York artist who
has since gained distinction eked out
the hardest part of bis early struggles
by designing advertisements for a
commercial house. There have been
many more perhaps, but the most conspicuous
on record is Bastlen Lepage,
who through this very fact was forced
into fame. He was pursued by uumer<
clful disaster through his youth in his
I efforts to study art His mother worked
in the fields to keep a sickly boy at
; school. At flfteeu he weut alone to
Paris, starved for seven years, painted
without success, but still?painted. He
had just flnisbod a picture to send to
the Salon when Paris was besieged,
and lie rushed with bis comrades to
the trenches.
On the first day n shell fell Into his
studio and destroyed his picture, and
another shell burst at his feet, wounding
blm. He was carried home and lay
in and idle for two years. Then he returned
to Paris and, reduced to absolute
want, painted cheap fans for a
living.
One day a manufacturer of somo patent
medicine ordered a picture from
htm to Illustrate Its virtues. Lepage,
who was always sincere, gave his best
work to this advertisement. He painted
a landscape In the April snnilght.
The leaves of tender green quivered to
the breeze. A group of beautiful young
girts gathered around a founthln from
which the elixir of youth sprang in a
I bubbling stream. Lepage believed there
was real merit la It.
"Let dc offer It at tbe Salon?" be
asked bis patron.
Tbe manufacturer was delighted.
"But first paint a rainbow arcblng over
tbe fountain," be said, "with tbe name
of my medicine npon ft."
Lepage refused.
"Then 1 will not pay you a sou for
tbe picture."
Tbe price of this picture meant bread
for months, and tbe painter had long
needed bread. Tbe chance of admission
to the salon was small. lie hesi
tated. Then he silenced bis hunger and
carried the canvas to the salon. It was
admitted.
Its great success Insured Lepage
public recognition, and bis later work
gained him a place among tbe greatest
of living artists.

The road froua Horns to Han:;
almost doe north, a straight white ...ie ,
cutting across the green fields. It Is
one of the oldest routes in the world. '
Caravans have been passing along It
for at least 5.000 years, just as we
saw them?long strings of alow moving
camels with their bright colored
begs of wheat.
One could almost Imagine that Pharaoh
was again calling down the corn
of Hnmnth to All his granaries against
the seven years of famine. But oven
here the old things are passing. Just
beyond the long line of camels was a
longer line of fellah women, their dirty
blue robes kilted above their knees,
carrying npon their shoulders baskets
of earth and stone for the roadbed of
the now French railway.
The carriage road is French, too, and
a very good road It Is, Some men were
repairing It with a most Ingenious
roller. It was s great round atone,
drawn by two oxen and having Its
axle prolonged by a twenty foot pole,
at the end of which a barelegged Arab
was fastened to balance the whole affair.
If the stone bad toppled over
the ptcture of the Arab dangling at the
top of the slender flagstaff would bare
been worth watching.
All along the ride we were reminded
of the past. It Is a fertile soil, but the
very wheatflelds are different from
ours. Only a few yards in width, they
are often of tremendous length. I hesitate
to commit myself to figures, but
It Is certain that the thin, green fields
would stretch away tn the distance until
lost over some little elevation. At
one place the rond was cut through a
hill honeycombed with rock tombs
i which the haj said were Jewish.
I Every now and then we passed n tell,
| or great hemispherical mound, built up
of tho rubbish of o dozen ruined towns,
for even as late as Roman times this
was a well cultivated and populous
country. There Is now no lumber
I available for building purposes, and tn
a number of villages the bouses are all
built with conical roofs of stone.
Where the rock happens to bo of a
reddish tinge the houses remind one of

uninitiated to know tlint a man can
go Into the open market and buy applaase
just as he would potatoes or
patent medicine.
A good husky man whose hands art
ho calloused that a little extra applause
will not hurt him may be easily hired
for 20 cents and a good warm seat.
Of course he always runs the risk
that when ho has reached the point
where the handclapping should begin
his applause may have gone to Sleep
and only a snore may come in reap anas

Incidents of this sort are enough to #
discourage a popular lecturer, and It ^
adds considerably to the expense If he
