There is uo business mail who de
serves more kind treatment fr.uu the
public than the butcher. His work In

ness; but how many other business
men open at daylijdit and close 'ong
after the supper hour, lit older toae
eeiniuudate the public? ' Very few, in
deed. In fact, the people are obliged
to patronize some at ores at the hours
which best suit the proprietor. Then,
too, there Is mi other merchant who
has as much to contend with as the
patient butcher. No ether i-lnss of busi

explain that a fair price will secure

tightly closed until you go out. Do n't
