Our Reduced Pmqs
our regular
real dollar
QUR reductions may not be as great as you think
they might be; but remember that our original
prices on merchandise are never fictitious, high prices, but only what the goods are
worth. Our way is to do a large volume of business at a small profit, rather than a
small volume at a large profit. Therefore our price reductions are reductions from
full-value prices. When we "reduce" from three dollars to two dollars you save one
SPEARING THE CACTUS.
Custom of the Natives of ths Mexi
can Stale of Sinaloa.
Slunlon is a long state, comparable
almost with Chile, is it Ilea Dions tba
west const of Mexico, just as Chile
lies along the Pacific shore of South
America.
Like most new countries, the most
Interesting part of this fertile state Is
Its Inhabitants, possibly because the
country Is so fertile. Game is abun
dant and easily cnugbt. and the fruit of
the greut plthMjrn cactus is ripe almost
from season to season. Every native,
whether mounted or afoot and most
natives ride -vnrrles a slender stick
ten feet long, sharpened at one end
and the point hardened with fire.
One supposes these sticks to be rath
er primitive lances until one sees the
Indian spear a cactus fru.lt froma
branch seven or eight feet above his
bead. These pithayas contain many
seeds and a little blood red pulp, all
of which, except the spines. Is food for
the Indian.
All day long these Indian men wan
der through the Jungle, a wall of green
broken only here and there by the old
trails of half -wild cattle, gathering the
cactus fruit. It would seem that some
would be dried or at least taken to the
brash JacaL which represents home to
the Indian. But, no; he sits down and
eats what be gathers immediately. If
his wife wants any of the fruit she
goes and gets It herself. She also
gathers the tbod for the babies. For

IT DIDN'T CURE HIM.
Why One Man Has a Distinct Dislike
For Buttermilk.
JtWhen. I was a youngster," said a
state official the other "day. "I was
poisoned by an Ivy vine. . My nose got
very red and swelled up twice. Its
natural size. The Infection spread to
my cheeks, and they , were all covered
with blotches.
.. "I was told to use buttermilk. I
bought a gallon and drank it. I bought
another gallon the nest day and got
outside of that In fact, I drank so
much buttermilk tht the price went
up about 15 cents a gallon in that
community within a very few days.
But the poisoning was not getting any
better. It was not Improving one bit
and I couldn't understand it.
"I told the people who had recom
mended the buttermilk that It was not
helping me. "Why. 1 bet I have swal
lowed a barrel of buttermilk within
the past week.' I told thotn.
"'You drank It?" they shouted back
at me. . '
' 'Of course, 1 replied. 'What did you
expect nie to do with It?"
' "Why. we meant for you to bathe
your face with buttermilk, not drink
It.' was the answer.
"1 pretty nearly collapsed. To this
day I can't look buttermilk in the
face." Kansas City Journal.
Paraguay Lace.
Making lace by hand Is a well de
veloped art in Paraguay. It was taught
the natives 200 years ago by the mis
sionaries and has been transmitted
from generation to generation till it Is
now quite general throughout the re
public. Some towns are devoted to
making a certain kind of laee. In one
town of 8.000 or 9.000 Inhabitants al
most all the women and children and
many of the men make lace collarets,
handkerchiefs and ladles' ties. An
other town makes lace embroidery and
others drawn thread work, such as
centerpieces, tray mats, teacloths and

the lace are taken from the curious
webs of the semitropical spiders that
are so numerous there. On this ac

How the Union Aids Printers.
Wages of members of the Interna
tional Typographical union have been
increased $41,895 per week, a total of
$2,178,540 per year for the last two
years.
Unionism's Friends.
Yes, yes, there will be "oceans' of
"friends" of labor unions if they are
"rightly conducted" that is, If they will
only lie down and let everybody walk
over them. Unions do not care for
such "friends." The unions, are going
to vigorously protest when the territo
ry of the worklngmen is Invaded.
They win victories not only for the or
ganized workmen, but for those not af
filiated as well. They - are working
overtime for the welfare of all the
people.
