in the drug busings. Until within the last few years druggists, generally, were content to eit idly waiting for a customer, and
when one came in he would look wine and iui mediately ie up the customer with a view to making enough profit from the
ningle sale (o pay thn day's expenses, for fear he would not have another chance. The drug business at that time was not on a
competitive basis. One druggist neither knew nor cared what his neighbor was doing or whether the price of staple goods in
his line advanced or declined, his selling price was always just the same.
The department stores in some of the large eastern cities took advantage of this condition and put in drug depart
ments and sold drugs, patent medicines, etc., on a business basis, or according to what they cost. We did not
wait for Omaha department stores to take this step, but too'k it ourselves, which is the reason why we are known as the "Pio
neer Cut Price Drug Store of Nebraska.' We are in the drug business for business, not for effect or for
ethics! 1'or instance, why do we sell IYruna for less than any other Jl patent medicine? Because more of it is sold, we are
warranted in buying it in larger quantities for less money and give the customer the benefit, which is right We think,
Kow some of the moss backs' of the profession, in the drug business, don't'like the new order of things, and they
are spending more time and money in schemes to crush the "dragon cutter' than they are in improving and taking
care of their own business. We don't take any stock in their schemes nor in combines or trusts, and for that reason we propose
minding our own business and taking the chances of being allowed the privilege of go continuing, and these prices provi
that we are selling goods for a little less money than some would-be cut price drug killers.

E. T. YATES,
It Is admitted that the engagement be
tween Mies Goelet and the duke of Rox
burgh Is a love match and their friends
boliove that It will prove te be a happy
one. If go. It will be an exception to the
general rule pertaining to foreign mar
riages. While many of these unlo. have
been ideal, others have turned out Unhap
pily for the American wife.
Outside of domestic questions millions of
dollars of these dowrlos have been squan
dered by the titled sons of Impecunioui
sires. The rase of the countess of Ifappen
heim, who was Miss Mary Wheeler of
Philadelphia, is a case In point.
Count Pappenhelm, a Bavarian of Impov
erished fortune, quickly ran through most
of his wife's dowry and when she stopped
his allowance he applied for a divorce.
Everybody remembers the unhappy mar
riage of Miss Eva Mackay, daughter of the
late John W. Mackay, to Prince Ferdinand
Colonna Dl Oalatro .of Italy. Her father
settled upon her the Income of $2,600,000. The
couple settled In Rome. Within a year the
prince began gambling and soon all his
wife's Income and savings were exhausted.
She refused to give him more and she ap
plied for a decree of separation.
Thn sensational divorce suit of the Coun
tess Festetlcs De Tolna, born Haggin, was
the end of still another conspicuously un
happy International marriage.
The countess Is the daughter of Ixuis T.
Maggln, the New York mining millionaire,
and was given $2,000,0X1 as a marriage por
tion. A Yoathfnl Bride.
When she married Count Rudolph De
Festetlcs of Austria In 192 she was but 18
years of ag:. After a long yachting cruise
on the Tolna, built by the bride's father for
the young couple, the countess left her hus
band and came to America from the orient,
tho count returning to Austria. Divorce
proceedings were instituted by the countess
In Sin Francisco and an absolute decree
was secured In 1901. Miss Ilaggln has since
made her home In California.
But, generally speaking, the American
girl Is . far-sighted, and when the worst
comes she Is willing to pay the piper. Un
fortunately the noble piper dees not always
play the marrluge tune In an alluring way.
Tho story of the marriage of Anna Ooukl
to the marquis de Castellans and his ex
travagaut expenditures Is familiar to al
of course many foreign noblemen are
gentlemen and they treat their wives,
American or otherwise, as ladles. But
most of them have notions about conjugal
duties which are not held either on the
Connecticut, the Hudson, the Wabash or
the Mississippi.
Among the other than the considerate
gentlemen are noblemen who continue their
bachelor days with the money thy have
married or who develop tyrannical tempers
and brutal manners. It Is true that hus
bands of this character are not unknown In
this country, but ,they are fortunately
scarce.
Many wealthy American girls who have
brought Immense dowries to their husbands
are living happily with them abroad. It is
surprising lion- often they have been, to all
appearances. fairly successful. Mary
loiter (Iady Curson) Is reputed to be
happy and sh- certainly mskei a gwd
vicereine. Tho case of Consuelo Vander
Nit, who undertook the rehablliti'i in of
the Marlboroughs, appears satisfactory.
Concerning Miss Martin (Lady Craven),
Catherine ' Ooddard (now Prlnrets Ponla
towskl) and many others sufficient data
for passing Judgment is lacking, but they
are said to be living happily with tin Ir
husbands.

London's greatest real estate owners. The
sixth married Captain Wilson of the Life

son, an Australian millionaire, created a
baronet for his big donations to the tory
party funds. It should be added that In
every case these unions have proved happy
and no leading titled family has given less
material for society gossip.
But such happy marriages are an excep
tion. It is said that over $100,000,000 of the
$200,000,000 In dowries which American girls
have scattered among titled degenerates of
Europe have been spent in the entertain

ARTFUL OSCULATION MEETS A FROST
Thrilling Scenes on Historic Charles
River, Where Policemen vrlth
Searchlla-ht. Hist the ON
fending; KJasers.
Hunting for kisses with searchlights Is
the latest detail of the metropolitan park
police of the classic city of Boston. Never
did park police have a better hunting
ground, either, than the historic River
Charles, where on pleasant Saturday after
noons and evenings as many as 4,000 canoes
have been known to glide in peace, har
mony and, in the past, with much demon
stration of affection between the canoeists
and their guests.
Yes, the park police, married or single,
with or without mustaches, put in the
hours between dusk and midnight hunting
for kisses and searching out clinging em
braces. They are not hunting klstes for
themselves, and with the young women of
Riverside, Newton and Waltham in their
present state of mind It Is Just as well, lor
the most handsome policeman of the park
flotilla could not hope a single favor. - They
are bunting for kisses with searchlights
that they may arrest the kissers and drag
them into court. Boston haa decided that
kissing on the Charles la a crime, and that
even reclining side by side In a canoe Is
worthy of a $20 fine.
The Metropolitan Park commission has
drawn up a new set of rules and regula
tions to govern the conduct of canoeists,
and almost every hand which has ever held
a paddle is raised in revolt. There are
seven rules in all. but it is No. 1 that Is
causing consternation in some quarters and
a liberal amount of Indignation in all. It
reads:
"No person shall annoy another person by
the use of threatening or abustve language,
or loud outcry, or solicit any subscription
or contribution, or have possession of or
drink any Intoxicating liquor, or play any
game of chance, or have possession of any
Instrument of gambling, or do any obacene
or Indecent act, or have possession of or
use a flashlight, searchlight or dark lan
tern." The remainder of the rules have caused
no objection on the part of the vast ma
jority of canoeists. In fact, the whole
great, terrible thunder cloud centers In the
police interpretation of what "an Indecent
act" Is. Holding hands, kissing, snuggling
together In the bottom of the canoe to lis
ten more intently to the band concert, rest
ing a tired head in the lap of lady fair all
these things, the police declare, are barred
on the Charles by rule No. 1.
Canght la the Aet.
To prove It they arrested Matthew A.
Peterson and Flora Smith. A policeman
In citizen's clothfs paddling a canoe
sneaked Into the little cove In which Peter
son's canoe was drifting. The hand of
the fair Flora was being firmly held and
the police flashlight disclosed It all. The
young man and the policeman had a heart
to heart talk and rather, stormy things
were said.
"I've warned you." said the policeman.
"You've got to sit up decent in your canoe
or Ihi arrested."
Five minutes later he slipped back Into
the cove and again his light flashed. It
was a dreadful thing he witnessed. Actu
ally, so the police story goes, they were
kissing. It made the Puritan blood in his
Pilgrim veins the forefathers of this par
ticular "cop" landed at Plymouth arid his
foremothers at Salem -it made his blood
run cold. and. as a member in good stand
ing of the Society of Colonial Wars, he
swooped down and arrested them. Ut

virtue, personified and exaggerated,
had
found them out.
A few days later. In the district court,
Peterson paid a fine of $20, and .the case
against Miss Smith was placed on file. The
Judge, with surprising chivalry, for Bos
ton, argued, It is said, that the getting
together In the canoe was mostly the
young man's fault.
There is not a finer spot for canoeing In
the whole country than the Charles river,
a peaceful stream, winding, flanked with
shady banks, with little half-hidden coves
heie and there, in which canoes float
snugly. Close to the stream, In several
places, the city has band stands, where
concerts are given several times a week.
There are between 4.000 and 4.500 canoes on
the river and often a fleet of 1,000 gather
for a band concert. There are great boat
houses, where canoes can be stored for n
nominal fee, and young, folks from all
parts of the city Journey to the canoeing
grounds by convenient trolley cars.
An Ancient Institution. .
This hss been going on for years and
years, and today the Charles river, with
Its canoes. Is as much an Institution as the
"Pop" concerts or the public play grounds
;r poor children. No statistics are avail
able, but one Is safe in saying that thou
sands of happy young homes In Boston and
the suburbs owe their being to Charles
river canoes. They are narrow little shells,
these canoes, and they turn over most
easily in the hands of one not used to their
tricky ways.
"You must sit still," warns the canoeist
as he places his young woman among the
pillows und rugs Just forward of amidships.
"If you don't you'll get wet."
Then he paddles to a shadowy spot and
anchors by sticking a paddle Into the mud
and casting a rope about it. He knows
how to move to the center of the canoe
without even tilting It and when he gets
there all is very snug and comfortable.
"Remember, you must not move," h
gives added warning, and then, perhaps, ha
kisses her.
"You are a horrid, horrid, man!" the
Boston girl exclaims, perhaps, hut she does
not struggle nor even move. The canoe Is
her excuse and his advantage.
And If she does move. It all comes out the
same In the end. The canoe turns over like
a flash, and they are both In the water. He
swims ashore with her. Saves her life. In
deed, and they are engaged. No end of
Boston homes began this way.
"Is this glorious home making institution
to be sacrificed?" is the question that Bos
ton is asking today. "It surely will be If
the police keep up their pernicious crusade,"
Is the general verdict.
The polU work this way: As soon as a
crowd get settled on the river the police
canoes, to the number of twenty-five, put
out on their prying expeditions. The po
licemen . are dressed In plain clothes, and
go up and down the river peering into each
canoe, to see if the occupants are obeying
the rules to the letter.

There is a blinding flash of light, and
then the stern order: "Come, sit up there

without . evident authority, brings forth
sharp rejoinders on the part of the canoeist.
"Sit up or be locked up!" says the police
man, showing his badge, and the canoeists
usually prefer the former, though their in
dignation knows no bounds.
The canoe crowd has found one way of
getting even. As soon as a police bout is
detected word is passed along and every
one geU apart. Then the policeman comes
In for no end of Jollying.
"What a pity he can't get a girl to ride
with him!"
'Oh. he's only good for hand holding In
the kitchen. He'd be afraid to move If he
had a girl aboard."
And then the band, iu obvious league with
youth and beauty, strikes up "Please Go
Way and Let Me Bleep" end the police
man paddles on amid Jeers and catcalls.

he stepped lightly into the other boat and
brought it alongside the one in which his
friend was reclining. Then, side by side,
but in adjoining craft, they lolled in com
fort, and bade defiance to the police.
There is another phase o tnla canoe re
form and the consequent publicity, aa a
young Boston bank clerk found the other
evening. For more than a year he has been
going with the belle of Newton Centre,
one of the aristocratic suburbs. At least
one evening a week they spent canoeing
on the Charles. He called one evening
after having been away on vacation for a
month.
"My daughter will never be able to re
ceive you again, Mr. Jones," said the girl's
mother, who came, in answer to his card.
"Why, what what's the matter?" he
stammered.
"Canoes!" exclaimed the mother, rising
to signify that the interview was ended.
"But but I don't understand!" he cried,
Charles river!" said the mother, wltn
withering scorn.
"Whatever is the matter?" he begged.
"Police!" from the mother; and with that
she opened the front door.
As he left the porch he could hear some
one crying In the second story front. He
was very much at sea until he met the girl
next day at luncheon, an engagement she
arranged over a neighbor's telephone.
"It was Just too dreadful for anything!"
she cried In exaggerated girl English, for,
contrary to general opinion. Boston girls
talk Just like other girls. "It all came out
In the papers when the police got to arrest
ing couples."
"What all came out?" demanded the man
who had been away.
"About the kissing in shadows and re
clining together In the canoe under steamer
rugs and holding hands, and all the other
dear things. Mother read about it, and then
she swooped down on me. I'd rather have
talked It over with a park policeman. She
was dreadfully angry.
" 'So this Is what you do whea you go off
to the Charles!' she cried. 'You and that
precious young acamp from the bank. And
you told me the canoe was so tricky that
you had Jo alt perfectly still, and I sup
posed you meant one In each end of the
boat, and I thought it was as gjod aa a
chaperon. Now the police come along and
say that you all act most shamefully. The
law says It is Indecent and the law is
right. To think that such a disgrace should
come to a daughter of mine!'
"She says you can never come to the
house again, Charley, and isn't it Just too
dreadful?"
"I've been thinking of asking you some
thing for a long time, little girl," began the
Injured canoeist, toying with a Touraine
loe. "You know I lbve you, and if your
mother won't let me come to your house
suppose we have a house of our own?"
They are going to elope shortly, this pair,
and again the Charles proves Its worth as a
matchmaker and a sacred Boston Institu
tion. Many mothers have taken the newspaper
accounts of canoe flirtations seriously, and
there has been an obvious falling oft In the
number of young women who visit the river.
If the police keep on, fear some, the only
feminine things on the stream will be the
canoes. There has been no end of woe, too,
for other girls who have held out the idea
that the tricky canoe was a most efficient
chaperon.-New York Tribune.
Eve's Apple Tree.
A fruit -posed to bear the mark of
Kve's tet:i Is one of the many botanical
curiosities of Ceylon. The tree on which
It grows is known by the significant name
of "the forbidden fruit" or "Eve's app'.e
tree.". The blossom has a very pleasant
scent, but the really remarkable feature
of the tree, the one to which It ow Its
name, is the fruit. It Is beautiful, and
bangs from the tree In a peculiar manner.
Orange on tho outside and deep crimson
within, each fruit has the appearance of
having had a piece bitten out of It. This
fact, together Willi its poisonous quality,
ruys the Liverpool Pout, led the Mahome
tans to represent It as the forbidden fruit
of th Garden of Eden, and to wsrn men
ogalust ' i's noxious properties.

- THE HEW AFRICA PLAKT.
It furnishes an alkaloid which will save
thousands of men from despair and misery.
It will gladden and restore the hopeless
husbands to healthy vigor, energy and am
bition. This curious East African plant, con
taining the active principle which pro
duces such marvelous results, was discov
ered by a German botanist. He was s&nt
out by his government to search for valu
able seeds and plants to M. Introduced
Into his native country. While experiment
ing with the Juices expressed from the
crushed stems and leaves of this plant on
Guinea pigs and rabbits the peculiar ef
fects were so pronounced, especially in thn
male animals, that it was immediately
tried' on the human subject. The results
on the healthy male were remarkable, tho
Influence being manifested within the first
twenty-four hours. Finding the crude ex
tracts so powerful, the different parts ,of
the plant were at once put through tho
usual process in the laboratory and the
alkaloid, the pure active principal sepa
rated. This was administered to several
of the patients In the hospital In whom
the sexual power had been entirely de
stroyed for years; their Impotency was re
garded as hopelessly incurable. The rem
edy was given In tlie form of hypodermto
injections in the region of the buttocks in
very small doses twice dally. After tho
second Injection the patient declared he
noticed a peculiar sensation in and about
the entire privates. As the patients were
kopt strictly in Ignorance as to what th
injections contained or what effect was
expected, there was no question about thy
action exerted by the remedy. So gratify
ing were the quick recoveries In hII easel
that the facts in detail were published to
the medical prolesHlon at largn. The phy
