Probably this is because the
| income of the husband and fath
er is a movable quantity—he
makes his money in lumps and
prefers to pay it out in the same
way. He has credit and it is
easy to say “Charge it.” Buying
it in this manner, the wife, un
less she be an exceptional wom
an, has little idea, the daughters
none, as to what amount they
are spending.
In England, on the contrary,
every woman m a family, high
or low, rich or poor, has a fixed
sum, so much, neither more nor
less, which sum bears a certain
proportion to the family income,
and on this amount she is
obliged to clothe herself and find
pocket money. If she exceeds
the allowance she must do with
less the next quarter, and this
rule holds good with tne daugh
ters of even wealthy men.
o o o
An English woman, unless
she be a parvenu, rarely hesi
tates to say : “T cannot afford
it.” She is taught from her
cradle to regard economy' as one
of the cardinal virtues. The
daughters of noblemen, who it
is true are sometimes poor,
mend and clean their gloves and
make over their old gowns after
a fashion which the wives and
daughters of the ordinary Amer
ican would disdain.

WE SURRENDER.
About one year ago The Armour
Bucking Co. established a branch
house here for the sale and dis
tribution ot the many different
products of their world ronowned
packinghouses, situated at vari
ous places in the United States.
We rejoiced with many of
our citizens and felt proud of our
city, when we understood that
world renowned house recognized
our worth, and hoped their colors
would continue to float in the
breeze that zephyrs over, arout.d
and through the many trills and
beautiful valleys of modern
Rome and her surrounding dis
trict.
But alas, the Armours have fold
ed their tents and quietly depart
ed and no more wilt our streets
echo to the sound of their deliv
ery wag ms, nor will the hearts
of those vs our merchants who
have accorded them a generous
.support be made glad by the
hus’ ling salesman.
This was a mystery to u« until,
upon investigation, we discovered
that Rome had a v holesale house
or two, so called.
These houses decided that as
they came here first and had al
ready staked out all the claims
Mr. Armour could not have their
candy, and forthwith proceeded to
work with the view of driving this
intruder out. Ilowwell their plans
were laid is proved by the
results.
These Romans are whales even
if they do swim in “hallow water.
They drove Mr, Armour out of
Rome even after he had estabish
■*(l a business way up into the
thousands.
We gather some consolation,
however, from the fact that other
companies are negotiating with a
view to picking up this plum.
In bidding against Uncle Sam
for foreign built war hips Spain is
likely to feel with exceptional
keenness the poignant grief of
being a poor man at a cash sale.
