ECONOMY
I have been studying up on the
different kinds of "Economy."
. Economy means different things
to different folks, A man will
drop a nickel In the slot machine,
, expecting to win a handful of cig
ars and economize on his cigar
bill he generally drops In 50

a couple of cigars and maybe he
doesn't. . : - ' .;
The lady of the house sends
away for some "special bargain"
to some catalog house. After she
. . recleves It, she often discovers
the same article in town at the
same price less the ' freight or
. " express chargeB. That's hardly
economy; is it?
If you want to ', practice real
economy,' step into the People's
Store, pick, out a pair of $3.50 or
$4.00 "shoes and you can readily
figuro where you've saved real
money and practiced real econo
my, because a pair of our $3.50
shoes will wear as long as most

Cause Is Generally Laid to Passing: of
Halley's Comet Through Space
Phenomena these days are always
blamed on Halley's comet, and it is
very likely that the heavy shower of
sulphur this morning at La Grande
is a conseqpence of the passing of
Halley's comet Astronomers iff
Frauce a few days ago blamed the
phenomena of a sulphur shower in
that country to the comet, and the
same has been generally conceded to
be the cause of the unusual incident
here this morning.
During the drizzling rain, no ill
effects were noticable in the atmos
phere but Immediately the sun com
menced to dry the sidewalks and the
gutters long and clear streaks cf the
sulphur are noticable. Cracks in ce

RUSSIAN AUDACITY.
The Coup That Made Persia a Finan
cial Vassal of. the Bear.
In 1S92 the Imperial Bank of Persia,
a British Institution, lent the Persian
government $2,500,000 on the securitv
of the customs receipts of the gulf
ports. In 1S93 Persia, finding herself
again hard up, desired to borrow SC.-
000,000 more from the same source
and on the same ample security. But
before the British bankers would grant
the additional loan they 'must needs
quibble and procrastinate and Insist on
still further conditions. Finally, how
ever, $0,250,000 of Persian bonds were
underwritten In London. Russia, bear;
ing of the affair at the eleventh hour
and fifty-ninth minute, promptly offer,
ed Persia a much larger loan on much
better terms, and she did no haggling
either. Persia, finding herself in the
embarrassing position of having. two
parties suing for her financial hand at
the sametiine and not daring to of
fend either of them, thought to es
cape froi ilif predicament by not bor
rowing at ull.
But so persistently and skillfully did
Russia uiw iw suit that In 1000 Per
sia timidly fielded to the ardent woo
ing and ockuuwledged her submission
by accept !n from Russia a Moan of
$11,875,000 for seventy-five years, at
the same time agreeing that all pre
vious Iotyis xhould be paid off at once
and no more Incurred until this one
was discharged without the nermission
of the .Russian Bunrpje Denprets de
ferse. Within less than a month,
therefore,, 5,000.000 rubles ($2,500,000)
were remitted lo London to pay off
the British loan of IS92. therehv fr.
