In Police Circles

;WBS the report from Police circles
morning and no arrests were
made during the night which marie a

While last night was tlio coldest
night of the present winter, the num
ber of sleepers in the city jail -was
smaller than usual, there being only

The Mother of Many Quaker Girls.
It isn't stylish, of course, to have
< such a tremendous family, and the
fact that they are all girls is enough
: to make any woman throw up her
, hands in deprecation. Think of mak
i ing and mending the dresses for thir
! ty girls, and tho ribbons to be tied
| and the gowns to be buttoned up the
i back. And the tears to be dried and
| the hurts to be healed and the would
: be sweethearts to be shooed away ox
encouraged, as the case may deserve.
! It Is certainly a Rooseveltian task,
| but there is one woman in the United
j States who has had the experience,
! and who likes the job. She is Mrs.
Anna Wood, and she Is the wardrobe
; mistress and "mother" of the girls
who comprise tho chorus of "The Qua
ker Girl," which comes to the Cranrt
Friday, December 1.
In the three colossal acts ot this
operetta there are two changes of cos
tumo for each of the girls in each
act six different dresses for thirty
girls?one Hundred and eighty cos
tumes in all?to be packed and un
packed, checked out and taken back
again as each change is made; mend
ed up, pressed and kept ready for in
stant use. A dozen feminine Hercules
might rebel against such a state of
affairs, hut Mrs. Wood is perfect mis
tress of tho situation. She carries
her sewing machine with her from
town to town when the company tours
the country, and there is never the
j slightest confusion as the lightning
i changes are made. But aside from
this stupendous task ot taking care
i of the wardrobe, Mrs. Wood Is real
? ly a mother to tho thirty girls in her
I charge, In other ways. Many of tho
girls are in their early 'teens, rang
. ing from fourteen to seventeen, and
have been placed In her care by their
real mothers, and she is personally
responsible for them, keeping them
under her watchful eye in hotels and
] on board trains, as well as in the the
| ater and on the stage. She has trou
bles of her own, too, in sheltering her
brood, for the company is so larga
that in many towns tho hotel accom
modations are Inadequate, and it is
almost impossible to house the thirty
under one rooftree. But in spite of
her troubles, Mrs. Wood would not
change her position, for it has Its own
compensation, if only In the love and
appreciation of her "children."

Thermometer
Registered 3
Below Zero
FAIRMONT IS EXPERIENCING
COLDEST WEATHER OF THE
WINTER SO FAR.
OTHER TOWNS REPORT BIG DROP
IN TEMPERATURE LAST NIGHT.
Fairmont and vicinity Is experiencing
the coldest weather or the winter at
this time, and the extreme cold weath
er following so cloSely upon the mild
weeks just experienced, has hit the
populace pretty hard.
People awoke yesterday morning to
realize a changein the weather ami
the thermometer kept creeping down
ward and pedestrians on the streets
lust night felt keenly the change, as
a stiff wind was much In evidence
which added to the snapplness of tho
weather conditions.
The official government thermome
ter stationed in this city recorded .1
degrees below zero as the minimum
temperature today, while 22 above was
recorded as the maximum tempera
ture. 1
Like conditions prevail In surround
ing towns, Clarksburg, Grafton, Mor
gantown, Mannlngton, etc., reporting
similiar temperatures for yesterday
and today.
Weak gas pressure has caused seri
ous Inconvenience throughout the
city and has caused many to shiver
for lack of heat, however. It Is said
that the Gas company will put on
moro pressure and thus relieve this
condition at once.
While the weather Is cold. It is ideal
the heavy snow*, is crisp and hard
and Old Sol has beamed down on
mother earth considerably today, and
thus added cheer and comfort to
those who were forced to brave the
elements and could not sit quietly
in the chimney corner at home.

ONE FARMER'S EXPERIENCE
Influenced by an Alluring Picture Book
For a Time ? Yarda of Red Tape
Uaad?Buying From a Picture Album
Is a Reckless Form of Gambling.
See the Goods Before Purchaee.
(Copyrighted, 1914. by Thomas J. Sullivan.]
Figures do not always Indicate the
price of goods sold by mail order
houses as scheduled In their price lists,
as the catalogue houses are careful
not to mention the "extra" cost inci
dental to placing the order and the de
livery of the article ordered.
The consumer Is governed by the
low catalogue price rather than the
delivery cost the latter means, of
course, being the correct way of deter
mining the cost of the article.
Consumer Buys Costly 8aw.
As an example I reproduce herewith
t conversation which recently took
place in a western town when a con
sumer entered the local store and in
quired the price of a saw. The price
of the saw was $2, the merchant told
him.
"Great guns!" declared the consum
er. "I can get the same article from
1 a catalogue house for $1.50."
I "I can't buy It for that price," said
I the merchant, "but I will give it to you
! on the same terras as the mail order
house, just the same."
"All right" replied the consumer.
"You can wrap It up and charge it to
me, and when I settle In the fall I will
! pay for it"
"Hand Over the C??h."
"Oh, no, you don't," said the dealer.
"We are doing business on the same
terms as you do business with the moil
order house?no charge accounts. Hand
over the cash, please."
The consumer handed over $1.00.
"Now," said the merchant "5 cents
for the money order and 2 cents for
postage."
"What the"?
"But you must Bend a letter and a
money order to the catalogue bouse in
order to get the saw. you kuow."
The consumer, although desiring to
bolt kept bravely to his agreement
and paid tbe 7 cents.
"Now the express charges, 45 cents.
If you please."
"Well, by gracious!" he said and
gamely paid It, with the remark, "Now
that I have met all of your demands
hand me over my saw."
Man Made Mistake.
"liana you the saw! Why, man.
where do you think you are? Just rec
ollect that you are in Texas and 1 am
located in Chicago. You will have to
wait about fifteen days for me to make
the delivery." And, backing up bis
words with actions, he pocketed the
money, put the saw back on the shelf
and smilingly turned to wait on the
next customer.
The consumer pondered, and after he
got through with his deductions he
said: "The saw will cost me $2.03.
That Is 8 cents more than I could have
bought It for In the first place, and I
am deprived of its use for fifteen days
besides. No more mail order house for
me!"
Incident Worthy of Emulation.
The Incident related above is one
which both the merchant and the con
HUiner may read with profit and if
more of the merchants adopted the
BHiim tactics as did the Texas mer
chant they would have fewer mall or-J
der buyers among those who should be
their customers.
And there Is much more to this
question than price and delivery; there
are often dissatisfaction and inferior
and damaged goods to contend with. In
the case of goods being damaged en
route the buyer has either the prospect
of a lawsuit with the railroad com
pany or a correspondence tight with
tho catalogue house, neither of which
Is very inviting.
Not infrequently does the buyer,
rather than to go to all tho expense
and trouble Incidental to tbe exchange
of the article, allow himself to be Im
posed upon by accepting the Inferlpr
and often valueless article, an article
wliich be is actually ashamed to own
or use.
The Only Safe Way.
There can be but one right way to
brry goods, and that 1b to have the
goods In view of tbe purchaser. Buy
ing from a picture Is a reckless form
of gambling in which the advantage
Is entirely with the seller. He knows
wtrnt your money is. You do not know
what his goods are. Hence it Is beads
he wins and tails you lose.
That the catalogue house always gets
the better of the bargain Is evidenced
by the fact that annually the large
mall order houses declare dividends
the enormity of which appalls and be
wilders the conception of ordinary in
dividuals, who count their profits and
savings in pennies rather than in mil
lions.
There Is but one right way tobuy
goods, and that way Is to sea wharyou
buy before you pay for It
