And the young woman, whose face was as red as a beet, fumbled around in her pocket and finally managed to scrape up all but ten cents of the required sum. “T’ll send the balance in by my little brother this afternoon, if that?ll do,”’ she said meekly, ‘Very well. Anything more today? No? Well,’ call again.” And he politely bowed her to the door. “See how it’s done?” he asked the reporter who had dropped in a minute before to ask the time of day. “What? Standing you off for that ten cents?” “Naw. ‘Tryiag to get away with that boodle.” “Who? You?” _ “Naw. Can’t you drop on anything like that? “You must be green. Do you pretend to tell me you didn’t see her slip that Christmas card under her sack when she thought nobody was looking? She did it all the same, but she wasn’t quite quick enough. She accidentally left the tassel on it hanging in sight. I waited till she was just going to skip with the remark that she didn’t find anything to suit her. -I didn’t want to makea scene, or offend her unnecessarily. So I stepped around and gave her an Opportunity to pay for it.” “She must feel awful mean,”’ su gested the horrified scribe. “She’ll feel meaver when she gets toher room and finds that the card cost her just five time the regular selling price that’s marked on it in plain figures,’ said the hard-hearted man with a triumphant chuckle. _—-— HE PAID THE BILL. “Ah, there, Mr. Gallup, you are just tle man I was looking for.” This was the remark addressed by amerchant yesterday afternoon to a full grown boy who was hurrying past the speaker’s store without looking in. Young Gallup stopped as though he had collided with a stone wall. “Oh, that’s you, is it, Mr. Blank? What can I do for you?” ‘‘Here’s a bill for those things you bought the other evening for your little brother. It’s only a dollar and a quarter, but you will accommodate me mightily if yeu can pay it before the train goes out, for I’ve got to send some coin below this evening.” The youngster took the bill and glanced at it. His hand trembled as though he had been on a protracted spree, and his face flushed and paled at intervals of every two or three seconds. “All right, Mr. Blank, I'll go right offand get the money, I’]l be back presently.” And he hurried away, “That party seéms to be excited about something,” intimated the newsgatlerer. ‘‘Wonder if the baby up at their house has fallen down cellar or something else happened that will make a good item?” ‘‘Nonsense !”’ ejaculated the dealer. ‘‘T’ll tell you confidentially what ails him, but don’t you repeat it to a living soul. Night before last he came in here when the store was crowded {that merchant advertises in the Transcrirt,hence the crowd.—Ed.] and took great interest in the display of goods. I didn’t quite like his actions, and kept an eye on him while I was busy waiting on: other people. I saw him pilfer a harmonica, a picture book and two or three other trifles. He put ’em in one of his overcoat pockets. To make sure, I jostled up against him and felt of the pocket from the outside. The things were there, as I suspected. I had a great mind to expose him .rignt there before all, but on second thought determined such a course might eternally blast his reputatien. So I concluded to let him pay for the articles. Ah, here he is back already.’’ The door opened and the boy walked in looking extremely sheeptf} ish. “As I was saying,” remarked the man ina concert pitch of voice, ‘‘I attribute my success in business to advertising. I have always found that the liberal and honest advertisers get the bulk of the trade.” : At this point the new arrival threw a big dollar, two ten cent t home training or none at all are the most bothhersome. ‘Persons addicted to this vice are pretty well known to most -of the storekeepers, however, and ‘thus the the danger of losing by them is greatly lessened. At the fair recently held in the Theatre by the ladies of the Episcopal Church, there was more or less stealing of small articles from the various booths, As one of the ladies said to the reporter on the last evening, ‘‘There are some people mean enough to steal the coppers from a dead man’s eyes, and occasisnally they find thefr way into a church fair,”’ The Eva West Cempany. Tomorrow evening Miss Eva West and her Eastern dramatic company appear at the Theater in the beautiful pastoral play of “Hazel Kirke.” Miss West’s interpretation of the title role is said by those of our citizens who witnessed it during her recent engagement in San Franciso to be one of the best ever given to the public. Mr. Rutledge’s “‘Dunstan Kirke,” the father, is a grand and at the same time touching characterization which is compared for finish: and general excellence with that of the late J, E. Owens, the original player of that part. Leigh Fawcett, as ‘‘Pittacus Greeii,’”’ demonstrates his ability as a comedian of the most pleasing type. All of the other characters are in good hands, and a most satisfactory performance can reasonably be anticipated. The low prices of admission (50 and 75 cents) will secure a large attendance. -—— pe An Imperted Pet. Harvey Cooper has a new pet. Itis about six inches long, and came allthe way from Florida, arriving by yesterday noon’s express. Miss Ella Greely, Mr. Cooper’s sister-in-law who went from here to Florida a few months ago, isthe party who sent this Christmas present to him. It isa real, live young’ alligator. The openness of its countenance and the peculiar style of its tail prevent it from passing itself off for anything else. Cooper has already commenced training it for protective purposes. As soon as itis big enough he will give his watchdog to Robinson of the Herald, and utilize the young stranger from down South, which isnot afflicted with a bark, by putting it on guard to keep burglars and small boys away from his pre mises. >_e For Speaker Pro Tem. Rev.J. Sims of this city is being prominently talked of as the Speaker pro tem. of the Assembly when the Legislature convenes week after next. There are several others mentioned in the same connection, but they are all handicapped more or legs by bitter Opposition engendered at some earlier period in their public career. Mr. Sims will meet with no obstacle of that kind, and the various factions show a disposition to compromise their differences hy uniting uponhim. He would fill the place ably and satisfactorily, and stands a fair show of getting it. LF Men and Women in Life’s Prime Who rise unrefreshed, feel languid through the day, have little appetite,and whose faces exhibit a sallow tint,are en the short road to the grave. Unless they can effect a radical change in their condition they will not reach old age. Invigoration is the only means of their salvation. Upon Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters they can rely to furnish them with the stemina, which isa prerequisite of health, and to remove that prime cause of continued debility, indigestion and non-as similation of the food. Weclass these causes as one, since they are joint functions of one organ, the stomach, chiefly. Built up and rehabilitated with this superb restorative of vigor, the system may bid defiance to malaria, rhematism, bladder and kidney diseases, and other maladies prone to attack the enfeebled. The Bitters not _ only affords a safeguard against disease of a virulent type, but effects a prompt reform in the condition of a drowsy or Senders liver and i wels. irregular bowe When symptoms of malaria appear n any form, take Ayer’s gue Cure at once, to prevent the development of the disease, and continue until health is restored, as it surely will be by the usé of thisremedy. A cure is warranted in everyinstance. ~ at a literature direct from the manufactory. As an example of how cheap books are sold, it mentions Chamber’s Encyclopedia, complete in six large Volumes, new edition, bound in sheep library style, retails for $36, and will be furnished to members for $14.40. Macaulay’s History of England retails for $5; to members $1.40. The reduction on sheet music, magazines and periodicals is well worth -consideration. By the plans as set forth there is an actual average saving of over 50 per cent. on all books purchased through the Association. The society is daily receiving, and deservedly, the heartfelt endorsement and support of the educational, professional and literary circles of the entire coast, and we see no reason why with such advantages now offered everyone may not have that great. est promoter of home comforts, a home library. We Suggest that the public give this their attention. The association is represented here at present by C. M. Thomason, now at the Union Hotel, who explains with pleasure its plans and benefits to those interested. _ oe 0S¥. M, 5. C. Party. The New Year’s ball to be given by the Young Men’s Social Club at Hunt’s Hall on Friday evening of next week promises to equal in every way the parties given in years past by that long-established and always popular organization. The committee on decoration will exert themselves to make the Hall appear as attractive as possible, and all ofthe other arrangement will be on a corresponding scale. Goyne’s full orchestra has been employed,and is now engaged in practicing a number of new and taking selections of dance music. The reduction of the price of tickets to $1.50 for a gentleman and two ladies should not be taken as indicative that the party willbe less elegant in any respect than were those formerly given under the sanie management, for it will not. The change is made for the very good reason that money is not quite as “plenty as it was at the time the two dollar; schedule was adopted. It should be borne in mind that this is not to be an invitation party. All respectable people will be welcomed. Will Visit Marysville. The Marysville Democrat says: “Hon. Marion Biggs informs us that in the n-ar future he will pay our city avisit, and that he wishes the citizens of this section to assist him in arriving at ‘an understanding of our true situation. We hope when he comes, our people will try to assist him to a conclusion as to what is now needed to be done to relieve us. Let all past prejudices die with the past; and let us deal with the living present. The Major is determined to serve his people in Congress to the very best of his ability, and we opine he will prove one of the most efficient workers ever sent from the Pacific coast.” ‘‘Bioop-roop”’ is the suggestive name often givén to Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, because of its blood-enriching qualities.

Owens, the original player of that part. Leigh Fawcett, as ‘‘Pittacus Greeii,’”’ demonstrates his ability as a comedian of the most pleasing type. All of the other characters are in good hands, and a most satisfactory performance can reasonably be anticipated. The low prices of admission (50 and 75 cents) will secure a large attendance.

-—— pe An Imperted Pet. Harvey Cooper has a new pet. Itis about six inches long, and came allthe way from Florida, arriving by yesterday noon’s express. Miss Ella Greely, Mr. Cooper’s sister-in-law who went from here to Florida a few months ago, isthe party who sent this Christmas present to him. It isa real, live young’ alligator. The openness of its countenance and the peculiar style of its tail prevent it from passing itself off for anything else. Cooper has already commenced training it for protective purposes. As soon as itis big enough he will give his watchdog to Robinson of the Herald, and utilize the young stranger from down South, which isnot afflicted with a bark, by putting it on guard to keep burglars and small boys away from his pre mises. >_e For Speaker Pro Tem. Rev.J. Sims of this city is being prominently talked of as the Speaker pro tem. of the Assembly when the Legislature convenes week after next. There are several others mentioned in the same connection, but they are all handicapped more or legs by bitter Opposition engendered at some earlier period in their public career. Mr. Sims will meet with no obstacle of that kind, and the various factions show a disposition to compromise their differences hy uniting uponhim. He would fill the place ably and satisfactorily, and stands a fair show of getting it. LF Men and Women in Life’s Prime Who rise unrefreshed, feel languid through the day, have little appetite,and whose faces exhibit a sallow tint,are en the short road to the grave. Unless they can effect a radical change in their condition they will not reach old age. Invigoration is the only means of their salvation. Upon Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters they can rely to furnish them with the stemina, which isa prerequisite of health, and to remove that prime cause of continued debility, indigestion and non-as similation of the food. Weclass these causes as one, since they are joint functions of one organ, the stomach, chiefly. Built up and rehabilitated with this superb restorative of vigor, the system may bid defiance to malaria, rhematism, bladder and kidney diseases, and other maladies prone to attack the enfeebled. The Bitters not _ only affords a safeguard against disease of a virulent type, but effects a prompt reform in the condition of a drowsy or Senders liver and i wels. irregular bowe When symptoms of malaria appear n any form, take Ayer’s gue Cure at once, to prevent the development of the disease, and continue until health is restored, as it surely will be by the usé of thisremedy. A cure is warranted in everyinstance. ~ at a literature direct from the manufactory. As an example of how cheap books are sold, it mentions Chamber’s Encyclopedia, complete in six large Volumes, new edition, bound in sheep library style, retails for $36, and will be furnished to members for $14.40. Macaulay’s History of England retails for $5; to members $1.40. The reduction on sheet music, magazines and periodicals is well worth -consideration. By the plans as set forth there is an actual average saving of over 50 per cent. on all books purchased through the Association. The society is daily receiving, and deservedly, the heartfelt endorsement and support of the educational, professional and literary circles of the entire coast, and we see no reason why with such advantages now offered everyone may not have that great. est promoter of home comforts, a home library. We Suggest that the public give this their attention. The association is represented here at present by C. M. Thomason, now at the Union Hotel, who explains with pleasure its plans and benefits to those interested. _ oe 0S¥. M, 5. C. Party. The New Year’s ball to be given by the Young Men’s Social Club at Hunt’s Hall on Friday evening of next week promises to equal in every way the parties given in years past by that long-established and always popular organization. The committee on decoration will exert themselves to make the Hall appear as attractive as possible, and all ofthe other arrangement will be on a corresponding scale. Goyne’s full orchestra has been employed,and is now engaged in practicing a number of new and taking selections of dance music. The reduction of the price of tickets to $1.50 for a gentleman and two ladies should not be taken as indicative that the party willbe less elegant in any respect than were those formerly given under the sanie management, for it will not. The change is made for the very good reason that money is not quite as “plenty as it was at the time the two dollar; schedule was adopted. It should be borne in mind that this is not to be an invitation party. All respectable people will be welcomed. Will Visit Marysville. The Marysville Democrat says: “Hon. Marion Biggs informs us that in the n-ar future he will pay our city avisit, and that he wishes the citizens of this section to assist him in arriving at ‘an understanding of our true situation. We hope when he comes, our people will try to assist him to a conclusion as to what is now needed to be done to relieve us. Let all past prejudices die with the past; and let us deal with the living present. The Major is determined to serve his people in Congress to the very best of his ability, and we opine he will prove one of the most efficient workers ever sent from the Pacific coast.” ‘‘Bioop-roop”’ is the suggestive name often givén to Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, because of its blood-enriching qualities.
