"There ia a tide in the af fairs of man, which, if taken at its flood, leads on to fame and fortune." Thus saith the poet and there are none to dispute the truth of his assertion. Every one can be successful if he "just strikes it right" and the world sees many of them who have done this. But those who have failed to "strike it right" and have made dismal failures of life, are in no few numbers. What is the cause of their poor success? They failed to take that tide when at its flood. There are many branches of this flood, the most important of which is to buyjnecessities at the'right time and for the lowest price. There is a "flood tide" now and book store and many are they who are "in it" by taking advantage of the bargains now being offered. To buy at their spring prices means a large saving in your favor. Every one should rehaul his house and expend a few dol lars in re-beautifying his little world for your home is your world. Saur & Balsley haye just the assortment of wall pa per that enables this to be done with a remarkably small ex pense. The most beautiful de signs can be here purchased at prices that create astonish ment. Avail yourself of this ''flood tide" and make wife and children happy.

"With a little paint, paper and a few new, window shades you are equipped to make a part of that "flood tide" for this spring at least. rA pleasant home will give you new hope and new aspirations; and success will follow In other lines Saur & Balsley are the advance guards, main army and rear, touching on quality, prices and assortment.

"Mia Summers Polly I er, dare And the speaker took a header over basbrulness, only to hear a sweet: "Well Charley." "Can I aspire to er to that Is" Again a lapse Into silence, follow ed bv an Inoouraging: "Yes, Charley." "Oh, if I might only hope to er er to" Another failure of language. It was seemingly a hopeless case, and it might have been only for a demure: "Charley, I have said "yes" twice, and if you mean it, I mean it, too, and -and-." And to this day that young man will insist that be popped theqnestion. All this happened away "down east," and it wasn't long until there was a wedding. Not much longer after there came a letter from Polly's Uncle Josh out in Ohio who wrote eflusively of his delight at her exhibition of what be calls "grit," and he proposed that if the young couple would locate at Na poleon he would Btart them up In life as a wedding gift. Of course they accepted, and were soon bidding their friends adieu. A few weeks subsequent to the above convention a travel stained party ar rived at Napoleon. Our friend Uncle Josh was in charge and be led the par ty straight to bis home. "After breakfast," remarked the old man, "we'll go out and bny your out lit. To expedite matters I will order a rig from Karl H. Kolbe's livery sta ble." The carriage arrived and as Polly viewed the turnout with pranc ing horses elaborate trappings, and a neatly dressed driver at the reins she expressed great delight. "Mr. Kolbe's stable," remarked Uncle Josh, "is one of the best outfitted livery establish ments that I know of the three "S's" Speed, Safety, Style is its coat-of-arms. If ever you have to run to an off railroad town be sure to go there for a rig." "The basis of a home," said the old gentleman as they entered the carriage, "is a bit of mother earth so wt'll go to C. E. Reynold's rfflce. He controls city property that is very desirable, and al ways has excellent bargains on band. It will be worth your while to know him for if you ever want to engage a reliable firm to pay taxes, collect rent or take charge of property, he is the man to call on." The visit resulted in interesting Charles in some Very desir able city property and an engagement for a drive into the coutry to view some farm property in which this gen tleman offers some veritable bargains. "Having provided you with a cage for your bird," said Uncle Josh, "the first thing we'll look after is the fur nishings for it." Hereupon Polly en ergetically declared that she had heard so much about Harmon & Walcutt's that she desired to go their. The re sult was that they were ushered into such a bewildering display that the girl was puzzled at first how to select. But she soon yielded to the seductive ness of a magnificent parlor suit, a bedroom set in oak (antique finish) that would have done credit to old antiquity herself. To these she added a dining room set with all accessories, a complete kitchen outfit and didn't forget a most convenient and orna mental writing desk for Hubby Charles, and so he expressed himself marvelling much that the prices of such goods were so remarkably low. "A pretty good start," said the old man, "and now we'll go to W. G. Coover's hardwarestore." Here Polly's housewifely instinct had full play in marvels of kitchen apparatus. There is not an establishment in the West that carries a more comprehensive stock of household, furnishings. Every possible piece of kitchen furniture from a tin dipper to a cooking range, is here iu all styles and variety. If Polly fails to accomplish wonders in the culinary art, It will not be from faultof superior cooking utensils. Her purchases in cluded a Reliable gasoline stove, a Jewett stove, and Jewell range, a fine refrigerator, and a bountiful supply of tinware. "Let's see I promised you a gold watch, didn't I ?" queried Uncle Josh of Polly. "The place of all places in town is J. H. Frease's so we'll go there." Entering this popularjewelry store the old man gallantly acquitted himself of his promise, and then direc ted Polly's attention to the superior stock of silverware carried by the house. "There is no other such stock In Napoleon said the old man, "and I will guarantee the quality to be the very best. Pick out your family clock while here," he added. Mr. Frease carries a magnificent line. . Don't for get another fact," he continued. If ev er you unfortunately need optical goods this is the place to come, lie has ev erything to improve affected eyes and to determine the required treatment. "I would like to make you acquain ted with Dr. E. W. Talbott my dentist friend, too" said the old man. If you ever have to supplement natural teeth " 'Ughl Don't you mention false teeth to me." cried Polly. "I'll never carry pearly lies in my mouth if I go toothless." "Oh, as for that," laughed Unole Josh, "If you'll only consult a good dentist in time you can save that catastrophe. Dr. Talbott for instance, is wonderfully expert in saving natural teeth, and he has the skill and every mechanical appliance necessary to do his work with the least discomfort to his patrons, using Arophene for jthe painless extraction of the teeth. "Now we'll let Polly pay a visit to the dressmakers," remarked Unole Josh, "for you need some tonsorial work, and we'll drop In to Jackson & Shoemaker's Darlor. that's where vou can get as quick, neat, expert and ev ery way as enjoyable a shave, haircut or shampoo as any pampered prince of the realm ever got." To which Charles acquiesced when a short time after- waras, ne emergea irom one or ine best appointed and best conducted bar ber sbops to the state. Returning to Polly, Uncle Josh sug gested a resort to some place of refresh ment, ard they betook themselves to Fischer's Napoleon restaurant, where they regaled themselves on viands "as delicious as the epicurean dreams of tne gods," so Polly declared. Then af ter enjoying further refreshments in a full complement of all the leading sea sonable drinks delightfully prepared, Polly was literally loaded down with packages of choice confections, and native and foreign fruits, while the gentlemen Indulged In a fine cigar. At the refreshment table Unole Josh waxed philisophical. "Never neglect your larder." said be "that important adjunct of housekeeping controls mas culine temper. To that end you must patronize a grocer on whom you can depend for honest goods. Through a long term of years I have found A Bradley perfectly reliable. You will find him a careful dealer, alwavs full- stocked with every possible thing in tne line or staple and fancy groceries, fresh and first-class, no shelf-worn goods there while the prices are down to brass tacks." "It doesn't follow though"he contin ued, that matters of the table need only to be paid to groceries and provisions. the meat question is equally essental. To locate the firm who carries con stantly choice meats, juicy stakes, game, fish, etc. in season Is qaite an unaertaKinar.Dui l neartny recommend Reiser & Flogau. Thev are cbeaD. always handle nothing but the choicest and well conditioned meats, and make a strong point of combining quality wiiii quantity lor money. At tbis point, somewhat to Charles' confusion, the old man indulged in a nair serious criticism or bis personal appearance. "You are decidedly off style ror a townsman," said be, "and we'd better go down to Henry Meyer's clothing store." After Charles had fit ted bimseir out in a neat and late style business suit from this extensively stocked establishment, Uncle Josh de clared ttiat "Now you look like new ly married man." Before leaving, having found goods and prices irresis tible, Charles also invested in a com plete outfit of gents' furnishing goods. from a latest style bat to adozen shirts. Tills bouse is not to be undersold in Napoleon. "Now, my dear," said the old man to Polly, "I am ready to honor any draft you can make for dry goods. The best, cheapest and most popular place in town is Ueo. li. Kolirs and we'll crop in there. In extent. Quality and completeness this stock is supert; they are always to the front with the latest fashions, superior goods and lowest prices, and you will receive the politest attention from an exceptionally ex cellent corps of clerks. One of the secrets of the great success of this bouse is that tney are constantly in the market for the freshest styles and novelties, and has a very genius for buying at remarkably low figures. Add to this an enviable policy, shar ing its bargains with its customers,and you have the reason of its popularity." "Uncle," said Charles, "where can I find a good horse-shoer; you know how particular I am to have this work properly performed. "Jess so," re marked the old man. "You want no botcher about it, and I can heartily recommend you to Geo. J. Rexroth who I know will give you satisfaction as the work turned out by this gentle man cannot be beaten for durability and quality. He is a practical work man himself and personally superin tends every joD. You can get every thing in the line of repairing prompt ly executed, and I assure you that business relations established with him will result both pleasant aud prof itably." While Uncle Josh was pondering wtiere next to go, rony suddenly asa e'1. "Uncle, where can I find the lead ing millinery establishment ?" "Ask me something easier," happily re sponded Josh. "Just a few doors on. next to Coover's hardware store we will visit Mrs. M. A. Dittenhaver, who by the way, has in her employ Miss Eloise Merritte, a milliner from Cleveland,, who is a skilled and taste ful artist, executing work that is a beauty and joy forever. Mrs. Ditten haver has on hand one of the most complete stocks of millinery to be round in tbe city. You can get jUBt what you want there, the latest styles and lowest prices being her motto. She has that experience which guar antees that when you have once pur chased of her you have the proper tmng at tne lowest possible price." And a few hours later there was never a happier lady than Polly. "Tbe boss norse dresser" remarked Uncle Josh, "in this section is L. H. Diehl, and its a pleasure to me to point Rheumatism Cared in a Day. "Myetio Dure" for Rheumatism and Neu ralgia radioRUy cared in 1 to 3 days;; Its ao tion upon the ByRtem ia remarkable and mys terious.

You will also find here a comprehensive line of light and heavy harnees, bridles, saddles, whips, robes, and In fact everything you can possibly find in a first-class harness store. Try the place and I will vouch for good, honest work at lowest prices." "Where had we better buy our coal?" asked Charles, whose mind was con stantly turned to the practical. "Why of William Samse, the proprietor of tbe Napoleon canal boat lioe; of course I ought to have thought of that. He sells coal oil and gasoline at wholesale, and handles all ki nds of the best grades of hard and soft coal and ' wood,, and from a long business acquaintance with him, I can personally guarantee that you may depend on getting full weight and measure . at the lowest market price. This gentleman prides himself on his established- good repu tation, and you will find him a perfect ly reliable dealer." "And in tbe matter of insurance," he continued, "that is of importance. You will want a builder's risk on your new house, and fire, lightning and tor nado on your farm property.. My friend, Mr. Chas. E. Reynolds not only has lines of tbe solidist - and best com panies, but is an expert and trustwor thy underwriter." "Ohf exclaimed Polly, as they bait ed before a show windaw, "what a per fectly lovely slipper." "Yes," Bald Uncle John, "Theo. Suhr's boot and shoe stock can't be equaled In style and extent In this section. Come In and look it over." It might have been policy not to have extended that invi tation, bad not Uncle Josh known how wise economy It is to trade with this popular firm, for Polly found goods and prices so seductive that she pur chased an outfit from satin slipper to a handsome walking boot. Charley in vested in a gent's fine shoe while Uncle Josh indulged in a stout farm boot. No one needing foot wear can resist styles and prices at Theo. Suhr's. 'By the way," said Uncl0 Josh, as they reached the street, "I must run over to Meebison's bank and getanoth er check book. Come with me and I'll introduce you to the cashu?, Mr. W. H. Brownell, for of course Vou will deal with them, and it is always pleas anterto be personally acquainted with the men with whom you do business. This bank Is as solid as the base rocks of the universe, and has an individual responsibility of $25,000. Its officers comprise some of the leading oitizens of Napoleon, and yoa will find them ever ready to extend any ftccdmmoda? tions compatible with business princi ples." "I declare uncle," exdlaimed Char ley, "there goes a handsome buggy, I must have one like that for the girl." "Get it right here" santentiously ex claimed the old man, "my friend A. B. Scnbnersold It, ,and conducts a car riage repository here that for; variety and excellence of stock cannot be beat In the county. He has carriages, bug gies, road, spring and farm wagons, and sells on a moderate profit too. He also carries a line of cook and heating stoves and a complete stock of farm tools and implements of all kinds, such as-com cultivators, riding and walking plows, wheat and corn drills, planters, harrows, hay tedders, loaders, rakes and carriers, thresher engines, clover hulers, all kinds of binding twine and the celebrated Deering bin der and mower." "If there is one thing," declared the old gentleman as they proceeded down the street, "that I dislike about our orthodox domestic economy, its the custom that expects our women folks to burn their faces over a hot oven; they, meanwhile, fretting their souls with fears that their bread will be heavy. I advise you, young folks, to buy your bread at some first-class bak ery; its cheaper, more convenient, and saves over heating, worry, kitchen dis array and a heap of feminine temper. My friend George H. Curdee, conducts a very superior bakery down the street. He has constantly on hand fresh bread, buns and such dainties as angel food, fruit cakes, lady fingers, etc., and as to his pastries, well they are unequaled." "And now," exclaimed Uncle Josh with what sounded like a sigh of relief, "I reckon we can supply all the rest of the outfitting at one establishment. They've got literally most everything there. I mean Ketter & Smith's va riety store." Sure enough what was needed of a hundred and one things for the economy of the household was to be found there. Notions of every description, lamps, crockery, toys, glassware, baskets, woodenware, pict ures, books, stationery, cutlery, etc.; good grocers. We couldn't begin to tell all that Polly found there that she couldn't possibly do without, and she declared that the wonderful variety it self assisted her In making selections. "Now," cried the old gentleman, "now for a picture of this crowd in good old couutry fashion; we'll go to the photographic gallery, and Napole on has a first-class one, that of my friend Mr. G. W. Gardner; he has been established here for fourteen years and in that time has come in competition with fifteen different galleries. His pictures are wonderful in fidelity and finish. I want one full-sized photo for my study and some small ones for my friends. Mr. Gardner is famous for successful enlarging, and I want to give you a life size representation of yours truly. Mr. Gardner has the soul of a true artist; all bis work is a labor of love in which he will not stop short of perfection. Enroute to their hotel, the gentle men called at the Northwest office. "Vml'll want tha nnura Atroir ntcuilr and as this is the favorite paper around i n suoscnoe ror it." Upon reioinine Polly she began volu bly expressing her thanks. "You have bought us everything," she exclaimed. "Only one thing," remarked Uncle Josh, reflectively, "but I can remedy that. Harmon & Waleott always have a fine line of them and you can get one wnenever you want it; i'H pay ror the best." "W-h-y." exclaimed Poll v. "what ever is it?" 'Well, it's a a baby wagon, and' But Polly had fainted. the end. Whsre Cm I Fai ; I -TAB- The above question is what many men are asking and what many agents are ready to tell them. The only trouble in the persons who are seeking information don't know bow to go about finding it correctly ; and the agents oh well, then are agents and agents. Now I will tell you how to find for yourself. Read this article and see if there is logic in it. Then inquire if I am reliable or not. Come to me and if J can't prove all I say from of- ficial sources then say no mora to me about lite insurance. In the first place the first and last business of a life insurance co mpany should be the good of its members the most good possible for the least Lmoney possible, to absolute security of ail their interests. This one point should be subservient to all others. Not enormous salaries to their ofE- cials. Not the finest hnil.ii nra in New York city. Not a large busi ness in Europe at an enormous ex pense. Not the selling of tontine, semi tontine and distribution policies (which are all gambling schemes). To sum it ail up the company should ex ist for its members and not for its officers and agents. To illustrate: According'to the sworn reports of the officials of the company for year 1892, the New York Life In surance Company out of a total dis bursement of $19,458,090.00 paid to its policy holders in the shape of death losses, dividends, annuities, etc., $12,671,491.08. The difference went to the officials, taxes, commis sions, traveling expenses, etc., etc. All legitimate perhaps from the stand point of a president with a salary equal to the President of the United States (and not half the work.) But there is always a but how about the members whojlurnished the money; were they satisfied? They had to be or drop out. Now this company I have not singled out because it is the worst in this re spect, for it is not. Tou will see that out of the millions paid out by them that year the policy holders reseired to the nearest fraction 11-19. Of the companies doing busines in this county, out of their total disburs- ments for the same year, the policy holders or members received as fol lows: The Mutual Life - 9.13 The Massachusetts Mutual 13-20 The Michigan Mutual - 1-2 The Equitable . 7.11 The Union Central - 7.15 The Mdtcai, Bbxifit of Nbw abk, n. j returned to its Policy Holders . 6-7 I want to impress this fact on your mind that it is, all in all, the main point of any and all companies. How much do the members gat? All else is risk. To use dollars instead of fractions: For every $100 paid out by tha New York Life tbe dear members got less than $64. For every $190 paid out by the Mutual Benefit the members got over $85. ' . . f; I challenge comparisons and inves tigation. E.R.COWDRICK, Agent Mutual Benefit . Highest of all ia Leavening Power.

Six Ware Adulterated, and Some Con tained Mo Coffee at All Even the Bo gus Bean la Hard to Pick Out Whethet Green or Koaated. Washington, April 25. The experts of the agricultural department recently had their attention turned to the sub ject of artificial and adulterated coffee. A scientific investigation has been made under the direction of Professor H. W. Wiley, chief chemist of the depart ment, with astonishing results. Thirty samples from as many differ ent stores was obtained of what the dealers declared to be pure coffee. Of these 26 samples, or 88 2-8 per cent were adulterated, or if there is in cluded a sample containing no coffee at all, this percentage is increased to 90. In 15 samples the purchaser obtained half or less half the coffee he paid for. The retail price of this bogus coffee was equal to that asked for the pure article. A sample purchased from a leading grocer as Rio for 25 cents a pound, contained no . coffee at all. Another purchased aa Mocha and Java at 25 cents a pound, was adulterated 75 per cent. The worst adulteration was shown in ground coffee, bnt three samples of roasted whole coffee pur chased by them proving to be mixed with imitation coffees. Alexander J. Wedderman, special agent of the department of agriculture, reports that the artificial coffee bean is identical in appearance with genuine green or roasted coffee. It is almost impossible to detect the fraud with the eye. It is molded by machinery in the same manner as druggists' pills. Hav ing little or no taste, or odor, its only mission is to increase the balk and weight of the genuine article. It was originally of German manufacture, bnt has lately been made in large quanti ties in New York, Philadelphia, Jersey City and elsewhere. The sale of the bean has been tremendous. Mill.
