High prices may come from slow sales and large profile, or the merchants bad judgment in buying goods, or bad management and consequently heavy expenses. Our Expenses Are Light, And our goods are bought at CLOSE FIGURES, And we sell on a SMALL MARGIN of profit, relying on a LARGE PATRONAGE and QUICK SALES for a fair return.

Richardson The Onktvvo Opern House was un- r.sually crowded. The people of Oak- tree are a drama loving community, and the Watson-Duval Double Star combination was giving “ Ilamlet.” The manager estimated that there was at least .$500 in the house, his prosaic way of summing up the value of the audience from the box office point of view. There was a good deal more than $500 in the house from the prac tical financial view of Gentleman George, known in the adjacent moun tains, where lie made his headquar ters, ns the leader of the Red Caps. Gentleman George had u reputation that branched out Into several of the adjoining states. Ills methods of brig andage were more novel than the un- ovigimillty of his sobriquet would lead you to believe; but, then, he was not responsible for the adjective. Gentleman George visited Oaktrce occasionally, but a discreet population refused to recognize him, and the au thorities were conveniently unaware of his identity; hence it was quite in order, as with other personages, that he should attend the performance at the opera house incog. The curtain had fallen on the second act and the audience was for settling Itself back into its seats when a tall, bearded, distinguished looking gentle man in evening dress appeared before the curtain and made a sign to the au dience, begging their attention. The audience craned forward in their seats. The man raised an impressive hand and began: “ Ladies and gentlemen, I trust that I shall have your undivided attention. We arc about this evening to vary the programme slightly and shall, with your kind indulgence, offer a little comedy, part of whoso action will take place in the body of the house. 1 think it well to warn you beforehand that it would be best for you to keep your seats. If you obey this injunction, you will be In no clanger whatever, but should you become restive serious ac cidents may happen. “ Now let me add that it will be im possible for a single person to leave the theater until the finish of the little comedy. I f—don’t rise from your seats, please—yon will look toward the exits you will see that they are carefully guarded.” Eyes were instantly turned to the doors. At each door on the two tiers that included floor and balcony of the little theater stood a resolute looking man holding a brace of revolvers and wearing a red cap. A tendency to scream on the part of the women was repressed by the impressive hand of the man on the stage, who had by this time also donned a red cap. “No danger, friends,” he called out in an amiable voice. “Allow me to intro duce myself: I am Gentleman George, and you know my reputation. If you are reasonable, you will not be touched —that is to say, you will only be touched mildly, for what valuables you may happen to have upon you. The good people behind the scenes are safe in the hands of my comrades. All com munication with the outside is cut off. Every door is guarded. There is not a head in this house that is not covered •with a* Red Cup gun. As long us you sit still you are in no danger, but the moment you try to get gay or stow aw a y any of your goods or put us to any trouble you will hear”— The ominous elipsis at the end of the last sentence had all its intended effect “Now that w c understand each oth er,” continued the speaker, “our col lectors will pass among you, and I trust you will remember that their time is valuable and cannot be wasted in disputes. In the meantime there Is no reason why the music should not continue. If you please, Mr. Professor, strike up.” To the somewhat tremulous music of the piano three men moved sys tematically through the lower floor of the theater, each one carrying slung over his shoulder a large leather bag such as is curried by postmen, while three others similarly equipped went at the same time through the balcony. “ Ladies may keep their wedding rings,” called out the chief robber, who shouted out from time to time or ders to his men and to the audience from the stage. “ Please, sir, may I keep this? It was my mother’s,” said a young girl in a tremulous voice from the balcony as she held up a small brooch in her hand for Gentleman George to see. “Certainly, my child. .Tim, see that the young lady keeps her brooch.” Presently requests of various kinds began to come from nil parts of tlu house. In some cases the requests were grunted immediately, others as curtly refused and still others compro mised. Some citizens were allowed to keep trinkets they valued by giving an »*J JT M f n 4 |>. Si vqluo pected turn to the proceedings gave the affair a flavor of the auction room, and In the excitement, coupled with peeps into the heart secrets of others, the women forgot In a groat measure their fright. This result was greatly con tributed to by the good nntured way in which the thieves did their robbing. “ Now, my friends,” said Gentleman George after a pause, “everything seems to be moving serenely, and while the rest of the collection is being made, with your kind permission, I will en deavor to entertain you with a little song. Can you accompany me in ‘The Suwanec River,’ professor?” “Certainly, sir.” “ If you please, then.” In a sweet, rich tenor voice the TEARFUL OR CHEERFUL ? Whether a woman is tearful or cheer ful depends not on what she has materi ally, but what she is physically. Many an indulgent husband is driven almost to despair by the tearful outburst of a w i f e w h o has M every thing sh e wants.” He w a n t s to k n o w what’s th e matter. But th e w i f e can’t t e l l . S h e o n l y knows that she is de- ressed and espondent. S u c h a condition is usuall S 1 a t ecT t o some form of womanly disease. The mental depression has its corresponding womanly weakness. D o ctor P ierce’s Favorite Prescription changes tearful women to cheerful women by curing the diseases w h ich cause phys ical w e a k n ess and depression of spirits. It establishes regularity, dries unhealthy drains, heals inflam m ation and ulcera tion, and cures fem a le weakness. Mrs. Alice Adams, of Laboratory, Washing ton Co., Pa., says; \With many thanks I write to let you know how 1 am. I can say by God's help mid your help I am well. I have taken six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and two of his ‘ Golden Medical Discovery,' and I can do all my work. 1 can't praise your medi cine too highly. I will recommend your medi cines as long as I live. If any one doubts this give them my address.\ ” Favorite Prescription” makes weak women strong and sick women well. Accept no substitute for the medicine whicn works wonders for weak women. Keep the bowels healthy by the timely use of Doctor Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets, brigand began the old song. The audi ence listened in amazement and ns he finished the first verse filled the house with genuine applause. By the time the song was finished the collectors had completed their work, and only the guards on the doors remained. The leader again raised his hand for silence. “ Ladies and gentlemen,” he said, “ I thank you for your kind attention. Our little comedy has passed off successful ly, and now before we wind up let me give you a few final instructions. Our guards are still outside the various doors and shall remain there until we have had a gqod start. That will be, let us say, fifteen minutes. Any one who attempts to leave before that time will be shot dead at the door, and you know I have a habit of keeping my word. To simplify matters I intend to place this alarm clock”—here he held up an alarm clock which was landed to him from the wings to the view of the audience—“here on this tabic. It is set to go off at 11 o’clock. Don’t leave your seats until you hear It. If you do”— Before the sentence was finished Gentleman George had vanished. The people in the house looked at one another wonderingly. No one dared to be the first to tempt fate by getting up and leaving the theater. Yet each man there believed that the threat was a “bluff,” intended to give the robbers a chance to get safely away. They were disinclined, however, to put their belief to the test, and no one stirred. While matters were •still in this indetermi nate state a piercing cry of “ Fire!” rang out throughout the house and was immediately taken up on several sides. The managers of the theater at tV’ i outcry rushed on the stage and shout words meant to be calming to the au enee. They succeeded in a measure i allaying the panic which was begin ning to get under way, but many peo ple, overwrought by the evening's hap penings, rushed from the theater out into the street. Then it was discovered conclusively that there was no fire, but that the scare raised by the cry had added to the start already gained by Gentleman George and liis band. By noon on the day following the sheriff was ready to start for the haunts of Gentleman George with a strong posse, when the mayor sent for him and read this\ letter, found on his doorstep that morning; Dear Mr. M ayor—A dastardly outrage has been perpetrated on my good name and incidentally on the people of your city by the ruffians who held up the Opera House last night. The person call ing him self Gentleman George w a s only an impersonator. I believe I know the scoundrel, and by the time you receive this m y self and a few trusty comrades will be on his trail. The good citizens of O a k tree cannot be more grieved than I am over the regrettable occurrence of last evening. To show you that I w a s not the man who held up the Opera House I inclose you m y latest photograph, made in San Francisco. You can depend upon it that the evildoers of last night w ill be brought to Justice. Yours in good faith. G E N T L E M A N GEORGE. The sheriff did not like the cool, im pertinent tone of the letter and thought that, owing to liis long immunity. Gen tleman George was inclined to jest with the township. The mayor thought differently. It was, he said, a very courteous note, and he could not see that it in any w a y reflected on the town. Sides wore taken, and the next election was fought out largely on the question of the good faith or other wise of Gentleman George. Though the election went in favor of the may or and the upholders of Gentleman George, to this day it has not been de termined whether or not it was that polished bandit who had held up the Opera House. no Republican rally or G. A. R. meet ing to attend, he would go out and sit on the fence of his grass plot to smoke and to talk to Nick or to any casual loafer. Paul Ilavilaml, on the other hand, enjoyed almost no society but that of his betrothed, Margaret Alden, and a literary friend, Richard Elliott. He read law in the law office of Judge Parker's former law firm for three winters. It was during this time that he lived with the judge, to get far away, lie said, from the grime and sor didness of the city, and in the even ings, while tlie judge was off with the public In the grime and sordidness, lie sat in the old Parker house and wrote long introspective letters to Margaret Alden and composed verses called “ Retrospect,” “Circumstance” or “ If,” which gave its name to his volume of collected verse.

Richard Elliott wrote a preface al most entirely of margins for the book, commenting favorably on the re straint, suggestiveness and perfect good breeding of Mr. Haviland’s lines, and Paul had great fun in his own way in writing them in the evenings, while the judge had great fun in his own way in seconding motions and in troducing politicians In long, heavy addresses at political clubs. It was a curious circumstance of Paul’s art that, while he himself was of a very sensitive and impressible nature, the attitude he chose to assume in his verse, one described by Richard Elliott in a magazine article on “Hav- iland and Indifferentism,” was exactly Judge Parker’s attitude, and that gen tleman might have asked with far more sincerity: Bah! W h a t’s the odds? Or rose or rue— W h a t Is the odds to me? In the spring of Paul Haviland’s stay at the old Parker house Margaret Alden came to visit Chicago, and at the time of her visit she and her lover passed through a long period of mental suffering. Their trouble arose on the day of a heavy spring rain. They were to have met in the Art institute, and Paul Haviland, supposing that Margaret Alden would not keep her tryst in the worst storm of the year, had not kept his. He was overwhelmed with contrition nt his mistake when he visited her in the evening. But when he said, “ It never occurred to me that you would be there,” and she replied, “Where there Is a question f always do the more strenuous thing,” he was wounded.

In fact, after the most searching tests and rigid inquiry in to the record of Dr. David Kennedy's Fa vorite Remedy, it becomes a duty to re commend its use in unequivocal term to every reader of this journal whose com plaint comes within the list of ailments which this remedy is advertised to cure.

S. MeClui'e Company I11 the northwestern part of Chicago, not far cast of the river, in a place of silent streets and empty lots, stand several large frame houses, with pick et fences, built before the fire. Tall poplar and cottonwood trees hang clouds of pale, glimmering foliage over the wooden sidewalks. A11 occasional electric car with one or two passen gers shrills past under the rustling shade, and cows arc sometimes pas tured on the frequent brown lots. In one of the houses of this place there lived two American gentlemen, different ns the poles, Jv£ge Amos Parker and Mr. Paul Ilavlland. Judge Parker, the house owner, an old set tler, was a plain man, the father of a large family. His wife had died when the children were little. His sons were gone Into business in distant towns, ami his daughters, combining piety and flirta tion in a neighboring ehurcli, had sported actively through their respec tive courtships till they were all mar ried and gone, and their father was left alone with Edna, the servant girl, and Nick, her brother, who had ac companied the family when they moved from Indiana forty years ago. Judge Parker was a ponderous, easy going man, of tremendous legal infor mation, with a long, white face and almost no nerves, lie scarcely per ceived the loneliness of Ills remote house, and he did not miss liis family too sensitively, as when they were with him he had been only very slight ly acquainted with them. His taste was not for men as individ uals, but in bulk. He loved the public and public life, and he would have pre ferred almost any discomfort out of doors or In a hull to sitting in a parlor through an evening. The judge could not for an instant bear exclusive society. Indeed, the only moment when lie experienced un easiness was when he was forced Into the presence of a group of people se lected by a delicate social tact instead of by the rude hand of chance or polit ical orgunlzatlou. If he had no lecture, “The Lost Treasure,” “Disillusionment” Meanwhile Margaret wrote in her diary: “April 14 . “ Paul was here today, but not the Paul of yesterday. Something is gone between us—just what I cannot say, but something. “lie has, of course, failed roe and can never be again to me what he was before liis inconsideration of today. “ Do I really love him when I cannot any longer perfectly admire him? Must question myself aurther on this point. “It is true I am disillusioned, but I feel it more dignified on the whole to keep our relations as they have al ways been. The world need not know. “This is not sincere, of course, but 1 am disturbed and in doubt.” Paul Haviland, too, was disturbed and in doubt, and it was while he was in this mood that he went one morning to the law office and found, with as tonishment, that a blow had fallen on Judge Parker. He had been responsible for a broth er living in Wisconsin, a bank cashier, who, after a long probit)’, had ab sconded with the bank funds, leaving behind enough debts to ruin the judge. The men in the office said that if such a thing had to happen to some one it might ns well happen to Judge Parker, as he never took anything hard. Paul felt the incident, an#!nstance of the injustice of life, already symbol ized to him in liis own wrongs. He mentioned his friend’s disaster to Mar garet in the evening, considering it an episode in keeping with the melan choly tone of their meeting, but they talked very little about it, being still too occupied with their own delicate, moral and temperamental problems. However, when Paul went home that night and saw the judge sitting on the front steps with his hat on the back of his head talking to Nick as he had be fore his house was disgraced and ids fortunes ruined, he felt among his own troubles a sense of sympathy for a fob low sufferer. As be passed he touched the judge’s coat sleeve lightly, ns a subtle sign of regret, but his intention was evidently quite imperceptible to the judge, for tlie next morning at breakfast he ol>- served vumlnatively with an air of in telligent, judicial interest: “ Well, Paul, d’you hear about Broth er Will?” Paul stared at his plate and then said delicately, “In life we cannot al ways account for everything.” “That’s what the bank directors think,” returned tlie judge jocosely. “Well, it’s a queer tiling—a mighty queer thing. I knew a man who did something like it here—and he resem bled Brother Will too.” This was the only allusion the judge ever made to the matter. Everything iu the old Parker house remained ns it was before Brother Will’s lapse. The judge had never been extravagant. He was not obliged to change In any way his domestic or social customs, and It will bo seen that Ills spirits and life had been less affected by Ills ruin than had Paul Ilavilaiul’s by the remotest shadow of adverse criticism. Perhaps this sketch will be supposed too decided in its contrasts to be a thing of facts. O11 tlie other hand, it may be truthfully said that It Is a very moderate presentation of the vivid variety of persons, perhaps in the world; certainly on the north side of Chicago.
