putting up a great talk alxmt the

Where the tide o f surging humanity

County Judge Wonacott of
Douglas, is playing a continuous
vaudeville to the galleries. He
is a democratic porker in a re

Jealousy of Cottage Grove enters

He makes every sale, however smajj,
a dignified business transaction. He
Is never too busy to be polite and at

with him.
His stand is In close touch with
Wall street, and the brokers buy of
him, but ho gives Jnst as mnch atten

He Is a gentleman and an American
cltlsen who la engaged In au honest
business. There Is no snobbishness In
him. He treats all alike.
Around Ida newsstand there con-
vergea perhaps more utter selfishness,
more hardness o f greed, more reck
lessness o f hurry, than In any other
locality In the world.
And there be stands in vivid con

Instinctive hunger for kindness and

The lesson to those who contemplate

Courtesy costs nothing.

Combined with character, It forms
the greatest capital known to ths busi-
