A SAD MISTAKE.
Serious Results of Indecision
There arc some vexations ex
pensive errors of omission, and errors
of commission. A gentleman bur
rying along Newcastle the other
evening, saw his wife just ahead of
him itu the twilight. Instantly he
thought of a capital joke, and could
hardly keep from laughing outright.
But that wouldn't have done. He
hurried alongside, and turning his
face away, so 'that she would not
recognize him at once, he hie coughed
like a drunken man and staggered
up against her. Os course there was
a scream, hut he only the
more, crowding her’against the fence,
and as the lad)' started to run be
grabbed her and with a loud laugh
turned her toward i;im—
Great !.'!!!
It wasn't his wife at all, but a
strange lady!
That was an error of commission,
but not the serious mistake we in
tended to refer to.
An explanation and apology made
that right.
Not all the begging of pardons in
the world can m ike things even in
the other case. Lost opportunities
are gone. Some writer has likened
opportunity to a lovely woman with
a few locks of hair over her forehead,
and the rest of her head clean shaven.
In the ancient game you might catch
her by the bead as she came dashing
like the wind, but when she got by,
you might as well grab at the bottom
of a copper kettle. There is a great
ileal in having the quick judgement
and decision to see and take ad
vantage instantly of splendid oppov
tunities. These qualities frequently
make all the difference between a
poor man and a millionaire, between
a sad life and a glad one. A few
dollars or even a few cents, saved
every week or month, makes a man
independent and happy. A few dol
lars farther behind means shame and
distress. When a man struggles
against a rushing tide, it makes a
vast difference whether his head is a
few inches above the surface or a few
inches under. But ho'v is a poor
man to keep even? Prices are ad
vancing; crop prospects are poor.
But prices are not advancing
yet all along the line. There are
now splendid opportunities to save
money. They should be taken ad
vantage of before it is forever too
late. A dollar may buy more now
than two dollars after a while. We
want you to call in and see for your
self what a slaughter we are making
in prices. Our stock, no one will
deny, is the largest and best in the
city. Our goods are just what we
represent them, and the astonishing
low figures are put on to make them
fi°- r
We must have room for our
splendid fall and winter stock. The
goods we offer arc no shelf worn,
damaged or job lot stuff, but the very
best on the market. Still they must
go.
Notice a few samples. Hi re are
the prices. Call and look at the
goods. It won’t cost you a cent.
We arc offering a full line of beauti
ful white and Striped Lawns very
hard to get, from 8 to 35 cents per
yard.
All our lovely Embroideries and
Insertings which sold like hot cakes
are marked down 3c. and up
ward.
Our American Belts, so‘popular
at 25 cents, have been marked down
to 15c. each.
We still have a few unequalled
bargains in our splendid line of
Van Dyke Collars ar.d Cuffs. You
want to •cull carly or they will
wi'l be gone.
Our stock of Umbrellas will delight
you. They are beauties, and of best
qualities in sateen, gloria cloth and
all grades of silk. We have marked
them down so that everybody can
have one. and the run of them has
been so great that we have ordered
another immense invoice. If you
need anything in tint line it will ac
tually be an injustice to y ourself not
to inspect our stock and prices.
There is money for you in all our
offers. The goods and the prices
will speak for themselves. .Our mid
summer sales are no myth, ( all and
see us; you will find a cordial wel
come and a regular wonder world of
bargains. Don’t make>a mistake.
Don’t buy inferior goods or pay
big prices, but come directly to us
before making your purchases.

KNICKKNACKS IN CARPENTRY.
Disappearance of the <M<I Wnyi of Mak- |
Ing: an Extra Penny.
I “You must have noticed many
changes in your line of since
you learned the trade?” was asked of a *
i carpenter by a reporter. ’
“Yes, more than I could begin to t
; recollect. There was a time when a
. | mau could make a snug penny work
ing overtime and making bootjacks at
I' a quarter apiece. You hardly hear tell
, of them now, and what there are are (
patent affairs. The wood jack was
I good to settle cat fights, and that help
cd business. |
“Another specialty I used to have
was the making of mincemeat c.hop-
i ping blocks. Women folks in those
days couldn't buy their mincemeat ,
" i ready made. They had to make it, (
| and the chopping was a great event in
I tiie family. The block was of hard
I wood, about two inches thick, with a. 1
border on three sides, leaving it open 1
in front.
' “Another household article that '
' threw many a dollar in my path was I'
i the quilting frame. The quilting party
was a joyful time, and it meant a great .
gathering of young and old folks. The 1
quilting frame, when stretched for |
1 work, has to be of such size that it oc- ’
. cupies most of the room. Then, when I
I the wielding was enclosed between the
two layers of muslin, a chalk line
! would be snapped across the top sur |
face to mark where the stitches should
• lie made. It lias been many a long
year since I have had an order for a
( quilting frame.
“Boys’ stilts were another little item
1 that used to pay. I would knock a
■* pair together in ton minutes, and I’ve
| seen the time when I’d sell a dozen
t pairs a day. Boys nowadays don't
seem to run to stilts. 1 suppose bicy
cles have taken their place. When you
• i come to think of it, a bicycle is nothing
I more than n pair of stilts bent into a
- circle. The fault I find with the bicy
. I cle is that it only develops the legs.
II I Now the perfect bicycle should develop
t j the whole body. How could it be man
t : aged? Easily. Let the hands and
arms bo used for propulsion alternate
ly with the feet. Use the whole body,
ylus in swimming or rowing. You would
a i gain increased speed, too.
u “You remember the tally sticks the
v | bakers used to use to keep account of
i i the numlsT of loaves of bread they
fl I left you I .Just a stick with a notch
. ' filed in, like Robinson Crusoe used to ;
I mark the days of the week. Many a I
s thousand tallies I’ve split down. They
( had to be cheap, of course, but they
t were of dry cedar, such as shingles
c were made of. and it was light work.”

. To The Evening Post: Will yon
j please allow iis to say in your paper,
|in rebuttal to the article that ap
Speared in the Times of this date, that 1
the ‘ Longshore men Protective
Union,” of Brunswick, Ga , has not
struck, or are they on a strike in
any manner.
I The whole matter of their refusal
logo to work is only this: Having
been employed by the different i
licensed utevedores of Brunswick,
Ga., in the stowing of cotton in the
British steamcis from the beginning
of the business in Brunswick; that I
have proven satisfactory ly in every
way to them and the merchants!
under a minimum wage, as are given 1
in other cotton ports to cotton men, |
on regulated terms and systems, for
wages ranging from $5 to si> per day.
and giving us here only $ 1 to $5 per |
day for the same, wi po reguiat d
terms or systems, doing up-'--' o(rk i
and longer time daily. WctherO'iLre
feel imposed upon by having im- i
ported laborers or cotton men brought
heie from other or foreign ports to do |
the work, taking bread and meat out
of our families’ mouths, leaving none
of their earnings with our merchants,
wherby to enhance their exchequers,
and paying no taxes to support the
government of our city. Below you
will please find our proposal to the
different merchants and stevedores
for their acceptance or rejection.
To the Honorable Stevedores ei
Brunswick, Ga. Gentlemen
We, tke “Longsboreemen
Protective Union," of Bruns
wick, Ga., respectfully’ and mu
tually consent to accept the reason ;
able terms and agreement, upon ,
which the contract between said ste- ,
vedores, have made with these im- ,
ported laborers or cotton men to I;
work in the stowing of cotton for L
them,on the same terms. That will He j
a settlement of our refusal to work ,
with them, upon the notices that : <
have been given said stevedores or ■ i
merchants, of our request and de-11
mand: to work for the same wages, t
terms and systems that they have c
made with these imported laborers, ti
Should the said stevedores or iner- I
chants consent and agree to accept;
this proposal to them from this or
ganization, then its members to a• v
men are ready and willing to resume .

Margery is the name of a pert, dressy
and rather good looking young girl
who from her kitchen window keeps
the occupants of a certain block of
apartment houses up town ftu’ly. posted
on the petty gossip of the neighbor
hood. Margery’s father is a well to do
butcher, and Margery’s most intimate
friend is the grocer’s daughter, who en
joys frequent talks with Margery from
a back window opposite the back win
dow of the butcher’s domicile. Mar
gery's voice has been silent, in the
neighborhood for the past fortnight,
and the grocer’s daughter has had no
body to talk to out of the window ex
cept a smart parrot next door.
“Where's Margery?” asked the parrot
one morning last week. “Gone to
Newport.” replied the grocer's daugh
, ter, proud to impart the information to
’ the neighborhood.
“Yes, Margery has gone to New
port," explained the butcher’s ener
getic wife, addnessing herself to all of
the back windows opposite her kitehen.
“She has got some fine friends there,
and I told her that she might play the
lady for a while, but she’ll be back in |
time to get out next Monday’s washing !
or I'll know the reason why.”
“Ha! ha!” laughed the parrot.
“Gone to Newport!”—New York Times.
Wliat the Humble Penny Does.
The humble penny is a potent factor
in our modern civilization. We all
know the wonders it has achieved in
the departments of the post and the
newspaper press, and it is now doing as !
marvelous a work in our means of loco- I
motion. In the last financial year the '
North Metropolitan Tramways compa
ny alone carried as many as 70,000,000 !
passengers at penny fares, so that the |
aggregate number who traveled in Lon
don by omnibus or car for that coin
must be something prodigious. Cheap
ness has fostered traffic in such an ex
traordinary way that although convey
ances are constantly multiplied they
are all better tilled than in the days of
high fares. —Pall Mall Gazette.
