We are going to open up the winter trade with some
special bargains that will interest everyone. This
month will place on sale winter goods at prices never
heard of before. It is quite an easy task to advertise
prices that will seem attractive to a customer, but it
has been our rule not to advertise anything as a bar
gain unless we had the goods, and could make prices
that would convince anyone that we were giving more
goods for the money than anyone else. The prices we
are now making are special bargains and the goods
can not be bought again at these prices. We would
advise everyone to look at these goods as soon as con
venient. Don't wait if you desire a bargain in winter

The three-year-old boy of J. A. John
son, of Lynn Center, Illinois, is
subject
to attacks of croup. Mr. Johnson says
he is satisfied that the timely use Of
ChambeHain's Cough Remedy, during
a severe attack, saved his little boy's
life. He is in the
drug business, a mem
ber of the firm of Johnson Brothers of
that place, and they handle a great
many patent medicines for throat aud
lung diseases. He had all these to
choose from, and skilled physicians
ready to respond promptly to nis call,
but he selected this remedy for use in
his own family at a time when his
child's life was in danger, because he
knew it to be superior to any other,
and. famous the world over for its cures
of croup. Mr. Johnson says this is the
best selling cough- medicine they han
dle, and that It gives splendid satisfac
tion in all cases. Sold, by C. W. Hous

The Cold Afrikander Irishman Who Was
Guide to the Huntsman*
The following is an extract from
a letter to friends in Providence
dated at Johannesburg, South Af
rica:
On the day thnt jny letter loft on
the mail train I started out with
two American friends on a hunting
trip in Beehuannland. We took the
train at 8:25 in the morning for
Mafeking and arrived there the next
day. Basuto ponies, guns, ammu
nition, a Sootch cart, guide and nig
ger were hired there, and the next
day we started on our trip, and let
me tell you it was a "cleaner." I
was too weak to ride my hoi'Be all
day and had to get off and stay in
the cart the first two clays then I
got a little stronger and etuck it out
with the rest.- Boys, it was a treat
sleeping out in the open air 5,000
feet above the ocean, eating bread
and game twice a day, riding, about
ten miles each day, outside of the
chase. I tell you, it put new life
into me, and it is there yet. Well,
the second day out we struck the
first antelope and springbok. That
meant fresh moat no more canned
goods after that. In all we shot two
leopards, one ant bear, four porcu
pines, three buffaloes, any number
of wild pigs and springbok and an
telope. We had more than we
needed. I found that I could shoot
better than I expected.
Just let me tell you something
about our guide. He was an Irish
Afrikander, reckless and without
fear and one of the bravest men I
have ever seen. His name was
Beane. As we were riding along one
day toward evening looking for a
oamp our three dogs started up
something which we thought was a
wild pig. The graBs was about 10
feet high, and we oouldn't see, so
we started after them, following the
bark, and when we came tbere was
a leopard up three yards on a big
gum tree, and one of the dogs had
him by the neck, bit fast, and he
nouldn't go any farther. What do
you suppose the Irishman did? He
jumps off hiB horse, takes the leop
ard by the tail, pulls him off the
tree, the other two dogs take hold
of him, and he kioks the leopard in
sensible. I got a ock afterward and
knocked his brains out.
One day as we were out looking
for bucks we heard a roar, nothing
like I had ever heard before. It was
the roar of a lion, the only one we
met in the two weeks we were out,
an unearthly sound. Saunders and
myself dodged behind a tree very
suddenly and then Waited. He came
within 75 yards of us, and then he
amelled a rat, turned tail and skip
ped. He had business elsewhere
was more scared than we were. We
banged at him, but he only went so
much faster. That is the "king of
boasts?" Nonsense! I do not believe
in him any more. Wo shot a lot of
other stuff, top, but all the big game,
as elephants, giraffes, etc., is nearly
wiped out. You must go up as far
as the Zambezi to find it, which I
hope to do some day.
The only thing that is dangerous
about here is snakes. 1 don't mean
the snakeB that you are thinking of,
but real live snakes. Oh, what a
lot you find here! At night we put
buffalo manure, all dried, on the
fire in order to keep it burning, and
then we would sneak away from it
about 40 or 50 yards. The creepers
go where it is warm, and we were
pretty nearly safe.. Harry Saunders,
a Boston chap, shook a snake out of
his boot one morning. I have been
shaking my boots ever since, al
though there are no snakes about.
One day I got a nasty fall on ac
count of one of the big ones hanging
in a tree. I didn't Eee it, but the
horse did. He takes a very sudden
jump, off I goi and away goes the
horse. When I picked myself up,
and had a look about, I spied the
suckei'. He was watohing me, so I
concluded to look after the horse
instead of the snake. Beane, the
guide, says to me, "Why don't you
go and wring his neck!"—Provi

IN A BALLOON AT MIGHT.
A Frenchman Describes the Sensations of
Flying Throosh'Darkness.
Describing hiB experience in a
balloon at night, a French writer-in
Cassell's Family Magazine states:
"There was a crisp coldness in the
atmosphere which freshened us. A
buoyant, thrilling sense of exulta
tion sprang into life—an exquisite
sense of adventurous mystery.
Alone we clove the waves of the
shadow. No shape or cry of bird*
betokened the existence of animated
life, even of the proper denizens of
the air. It was a time to fill the
mind with strange fancies and the
ear with wild caroling. There was
none to follow us. We pursued, but
were unpursued. Twenty-four hours
in the air—one, turn of the earth
upon its axis—that was our task. It
was M. Tisandier's reoord wc meant
to beat, and 24 hours would achieve
the feat. We had an eye to distance
too. The aeronaut named traversed
850 miles. We hoped to do more.
We sped through the blackness at a
speed of 30 miles an hour, devour
ing distanoe insensibly. There was
nothing to afford a comparison of
speed, however, and so far as per
sonal sensations go wo were motion
less. The air grew clearer still. A
serene and pulseless immobility
rested upon the faoe of nature. The
hot, burning excitement of a contest
in which each competitor has the
other in view was, of course, no
part of our feelings. We were
alone. That was the most potent
thought that passed through our
minds, solitary in the strange im
mensity which stretched around us.
But we had a goal in view all the
same—a goal which we determined
to reach.
"A singular echo of earth reached
us in the profound stillness. We had
long passed Corbeil, and dark be
neath us stretched the forest of Or
leans, its somber shadows casting a
deeper gloom upon the earth's sur
face. Danger lurked in its impene
trable glades—danger for us, safe as
we seemed to be.~ A. "'"irai of red

GASTRONOMIC EXCHANGE.
A Queer ReAtauraiit Where Walters Blow
In Their Tlpi.
"Any tips today?"
"Dollar eighty."
"What did you get out of the old
fellow who ordered the $6 dinner?"
"Only gave me 20 cents, and I
worked two hours babying him."
"Look out, boys, for a swell tall
gent with gold glasses who's going
the rounds and puts you off by say
ing he's short and'll remember you
next time."
These are bits of conversation
heard in New York's queerest res
taurant. "The Gastronomic Ex
change" is its name. It is on Seventh
avenue, and, according to the pro
prietor's printed card, it is "head
quarters for hotel employees, sup
plies managers, stewards, chefs,
head waiters, waiters, etc."
The manager caters especially to
the patronage of cooks and waiters
of the better class of restaurants
and hotels in the city, men who are
paid from $20 to $30 a month and
gather in from $1 to $4 a day in
tips. The establishment consists of
a barroom and cafe on the ground
floor and a restaurant on the floor
above. The proprietor has been in
the hotel and restaurant business
for more than a quarter of a centu
ry and declares that, as a class, his
present patrons are the most profit
able he has ever had.

recognize among these wen aressen
men standing at the bar or sipping
coffee and smoking at the tables the
men whom he had been tipping aft
er his meals.
Not all of the men have a pros
perous appearance. Occasionally
one is seen whose clothes are some
what shabby. He belongs to the
ranks of the unemployed, and he
hangs about the restaurant in the
hopo of getting work, for, although
the Gastronomic Exchange is not an
employment bureau, so famous has
it become that hotel and restaurant
keepers of New York and neighbor
ing cities seek their cooks and wait
ers there when they require help in
a hurry.
In this queer restaurant the pat
rons talk shop as they eat, drink
and play cards. It is a sort of cooks'
and waiters' club. They talk of the
advantages and disadvantages of
their different places of employ
ment, how easy or difficult their
work is, the salaries they receive,
above all, how liberal with tips the
patrons of the different plaoes are.
As might be expected, the waiters
in the Gastronomic Exchange have
most unenviable positions, and the
lot of the cooks is even harder.
They complain, and justly, that the
patrons are a most exacting class.
It does not take the customers long
to detect faults in the cooking and
service, and they are not in the least
backward in speaking about them.
A steak not done to a turn is prompt
ly returned to the overworked
cooks, with more minute instruc
tions than were ever givtfn by an
ordinary diner.
One of the strangest features of
the place is the tipping. The waiter
patrons tip the waiters who serve
them just as they themselves are
tipped when they are at work.—
