LIGHTED STORES
It's tho lighted storo that carries
tho weight with tho people.
Wo will go furthor than this and
say: "It is tho electrically lighted
store that carries tho weight with
tho people"
A dingy, gloomily lighted storo
docs not attract people.
It excites suspicion.
It belittles your wares.
It dulls your clerks.
It gives customers tho mopes.
It makes ealos hardor.
Install electric lighting In your
storo and draw tho peoplo to your
your storo and they money into your
cash register.
It's vory cheer Invites them.
A mannger, n housekeeper, n cook
und iwentjrulx cowboys made up tho
complement at tho Two-Kar ranch, nnd
every one except the manager was In
boring under suppressed excitement.
No orders had boon promulgator, bui
tlio Saturday aftcruoou bnd been do
voted by uoiiuiinous consent toward
washing up, combing balr nnd bring.
mg out white shirts nnd red neckties.
. Two weeks previously old Jim Urnd
shaw. foreman, who wns supposed to
be deep In the coufldonce of the man
nger, bad said to the storekeeper on
Lame Calf creek:
"Tom. old Two-Bar ts coming right
to the front In n business way."
"As to nowr
"Going to have a telephone line over
to the railroad."
"That nln't so much."
"Going to fit up an office for the
manager with desks nnd chairs, same
as a New York broker's office."
"Nothing to brag of."
"Going to have a typewriting ma
chine." "Lots of folks pot 'em."
"And now hold your breath, you old
swindler, while I tell you the rest.
We're going to have a girl to run tho
machine."
"No-o-or
"It's a fact Coming from Chicago.
Smarter'n chain lightning. She's go
ing to be stenographer and type
writer. Yes. sir, she Is. and no other
blamed ranch for a hundred miles
around has got one. Old Two-Bar is
ii head on the game."
"Well?" queried tbe storekeeper aft
er a long pause.
"Well. Cm hero to glvp you a tip.
If you haven't got two doson white
xhlrts In stock, send for them quicker
than lightning. Send for red neck
ties. Send for silk handkerchiefs.
Send for real cloth collars, and send
for perfumery and toilet soap."
"Why?"
"Why. you galoot? Because every
man on our ranch Is going to como
loping over here nnd Inquire for thorn
very tilings and Isn't going to worry
about prices either. Because why?
Because every man Is going to fall in
love with that girl before she gets
within a mile of tbe ranch and Is
going to dress up nnd lot her see what
a Jim dandy he la. There can't but
one man marry her. nnd the rest of
the gang wtll shoot him."
It was n tip. The shirts and other
things were sent for. and the boys
loped over. Forty-nine cent white
shirts went for a dollar and n half
and no questions asked. Perfumery
and hair oil met with a firm market.
Red neckties wero In great demand.
And now the great day had finally
nrrlved. Old Tom ba'd been sent over
to the railroad with the buckboard to
bring back the young woman and her
trunk. Every man had volunteered to
make the trip, and when Old Tom bnd
been selected the gang gathered
around him, nnd Its spokesman said:
"There's got to be a square deal or
bloodshed no flirting or soft talk to
get ahead of the rest of ns. You've
got nn old woman down on the Brazos.
Tom. nnd If you don't own up to that
girl that you have off comes your
scalp."
Four hours later the buckboard was
sighted with a fleldglass. Fifteen
minutes after the announcement It
could be made out with tbe naked eye.
While It was still n mile away the
cowboys formed In double lino along
the road to the house. At half a mile
they removed their bats and puffed
out their shirt fronts. At twenty rods
their rod neckties blushed furiously.
And now Old Tom. having the dig
nity of n Itonmn senator, drove the
vehicle botwwii the Hues, nnd tho
veiled lady I in wed right and left ns
every man bent his head nnd scraped
his right foot. Nothing further could
have been desired by the roost criti
cal. "And what does 8he look like?" was
demanded of Old Tom as he reached
the stables, where they waited for'
him.
"Boys, she's cute. She's a looker.
She's going to set hearts nflro and
cause forty different murders. You
might Just ns well go Into convention
and resolve that every galoot of you
is going to fall head over heels in
love with her at first sight."
Old Tom's prediction wns fulfilled.
Every man as he got sight of Miss
Glazier fell In love with her or thought
bo did. In a week discipline wns lax;
In a fortnight there wns none at nil.
Every cowboy on the ranch wanted to
sit around looking pretty, nnd tho
Chlnene cook didn't have time to wash
half tho white shirts awaiting him.
Old Tom stormed nnd tho manager
complained, but things continued at
sixes and sevens. Few of tho men
could make an errand at tho office. It
was only while tho typist wns walk
ing out, that they had sight of her.
Three or four got up the nerve to ap
proach her, and the bearing and lan
guage of nil of them woro nllke. They
bowed nnd scraped nnd cleared their
throats nnd said:
"Good evening, ranrm. I'm hoping 1
seo you well, ranrm. I'm hoping this
country nppenls to you. I'm hoping
you won't mind the galoots n-peeplng
at you from behind the hunkhouse and
the stables ntul showing what their
o ' . i , .... , , ,... i i. ......
unnKiug up i" ". i mi iuiiimk hum
you umy decide to consider to settle
down among us after fliulliiv it do
voted husband one perfectly wlllltiu
to dlo for you any tltuo of day or
night."
And Miss (iliuler would smile nnd
blush nnd reply that she liked the
country and the twople nnd the cattle
nnd the wolves nnd Jack rnbblts, and
tho man would back awny bowing to
the ground to assort to his comrades
In waiting that he had made nn Im
pression nnd to bo cnllod n liar for the
statement.
Cowboys camo from other ranches,
but were run off as fast as they ap
peared. Travelers rode out of their
way, but were discouraged. At the
end of three months the Two-Bar
ranch hnd the reputation of being at
loose ends, and the manager's quarter
ly report elicited the following reply
from eastern stockholders:
"Not nt all satisfactory. What Is
the matter out there?"
"I have a stenographer nnd typist,"
wrs telegraphed back.
"Then discharge or marry her." wero
the Instructions.
Tho manager was a man of notion
no had never discharged a stenogra
pher from his employ, and ho was not
going to begin then not If Miss Gla
zier would accept him nnd the other
alternative. She blushed and snld she
would, but wnntcd to go back to Chi
cago for a couplo of weeks to see her
mother.
The men got hold of tho news nn
hour later that Is. Old Tom told them
separately nnd collectively that any of
them who wanted to bid the angel
good by would And her In the office
nwnltlng them. It wns white shirts
nnd red neckties ngaln; It wns more
hair oil and perfumery. Ihey said
nothing to each, other, but they read
each other's thoughts. If a husband
could koop that poor girl at Two-Bar
she should have one. It was Old Tom
who lined them up nnd sent In the 1
tirst man. The Orst man had his ,
speech all ready. So did the second.
tho third and down to tho last, and
those speeches were all alike. They
begun with a how nud n kick and n
lump In the throat and proceeded:
I hears, marm 1 hears that you are
going away for to dwell In our midst
no more."
Yes. 1 nm going back to Chicago."
During your stay bore, marm, you
may have observed you may haw tal.
en notice that I have cast my eyes on
you as often as possible, and that with
the greatest osslble respect. It lins
boon a caso of love on my part, and I
am now here to offer you my hand and
heart and promise to do everything In
my power to make you happy. I'm
rough, but I'm tender. I ain't oducat
ed. hut I'll never nsk for a divorce."
And tho reply each one received was
tho same:
1 feet bouorod. but must tell you
that 1 am -to marry the manager on
my return."
And when tbe last bad filed In and
filed out Old Tom suddenly broke
forth:
Now. you crosseyed, lop shouldered
knockkneed gang of galoots, the turtle-
loves hnvo got through cooing. Cupid's
uot a bustle on him. and If you don't
hustle around nnd brine Two-Bar back
tn her pristine glory I'll turn looo and
bury the whole of you In one grave!"

how things go on. You thluk 1 am not

and will recapitulate them.
When the season for riding drill
comes on tho captain sends for the
sergeant major nnd says: I have an
appointment this morning at . Tell
the first lieutenant to take tbe rides.
So the sergeant major goes' to the
senior subaltern aud gives him tbe
message, and the latter says: 'What! !
The captain will bo away? Then i am
off hunting. Tell the second lloiitennut
to take the men," And the second lieu
tenant, who Is probably still In bed.
says: What, both of them away Tlin
1 will stay when' I nm. I was up till
U this morning at a dance Tell the

Look here, sergeant major, what Is

better than I do. You go and take
them.' And so It goes, and what must
be the end of It all? What can I Impe

They were sitting in tho gloaming.
