THE SALARY MAN RARELY ACCUMULATES
Tho man on salary and tho wago earner rarely save
anything unless It bo one now and then who builds a
home and pays for It In Installments. Occasionally wo
aeo an exception and when wo do It attracts our atten-
tion. Tho New York Sun tells of a letter carrier who
In a service of fifty years has recently retired and has
enough to live on tho balnnce of his days. The Item
follows:
"With fifty years of uninterrupted service to his cred-
it James Delanoy a letter carrier ofstation F at Third
Avenuo and Twenty-eighth street will resign July 16.
Ho Is said to be tho oldest carrier' In tho United States.
"I'm 83" ho said yesterday. "God has been good to me
and kept mo In good health and from now I think I will
take a rest" Mr. Dolaney looks sixty. He is small In
stature but very actlvo and has a clear rosy complection.
Like all mall carriers he retires without a pension but
out of tho fifty thousand dollars wages he has earned
ho has managed to save enough to grow old on."
Tho farmer who secures a home and tho man who by
hook or crook goes into business and has to accumulato
something In order to continue In business often earn
competence befdro old ago overtakes tnem nnu lor inia
reason It should bd tho aim of every young man to get
Into business for himself before his mental and physical
powers begin to wane. Tho young man who can Bocuro
a farm on terms that wilt cnablo him to pay for it Is
miles ahead of Ills town cousin who earns a handsome
salary wears starched shirts patent leathor shoes and
enjoys other apparent advantages but rarely has enough
to llvo on from tho tlmo ho loses one Job until ho secures
another but who oven if ho keeps ha Job year after year
but soldom'puts nwdy anything for a rainy day. -
Tho salary may bo high or low It usually goes thossame
way. Tho clerk whose place calls for irioro expensive
living might save moro tit n Job on less money nt some-1
tnlng else nnu wnon considering an oirer tno iirst ques-

TROUBLE FOR THE MERCHANTS BY ATTORNEY
GENERAL
A late dispatch to tho St Louis Times from Austin is
that the most drastic anti-trust act enncted In nny state
gees Into effect In TexaB Friday. It provides in substance
that any person who represents as agent or sells goods
mado by a trust or combine shall bXdeemejL guilty of a
felony and upon trial and conviction shall bo punished
j by confinement In tho penltpitlnry for from two years to
ten years. Its provisions apply to all merchants who sell
trust mado goods and all persons who may be directly
In the employ of such concerns In this state. It Is an-
nounced by Attorney General R. V Davidson and his as-
sistant J. P. Lightfoot that they Intend to enforce the
law to tho letter. Tho bill was drawn by Mr. Lightfoot
nnd his particular object was to use it as an instrument
to drive every trust and unlawful combination out of
Toxas. We do not claim to be as much of a lawyer as
tho attorney general but would hate to havo It thought
that any editor knows as little law as the Hon. Plaud
Collard who discovered the "hiatus" In the license law
as welj as other wonderful and fearful things about the
statutes of the state but we venture that before the attor-
ney gcWral's force secures any convictions under this
alleged law it will have to bo established by the officials
which concerns are trusts and which are not. Thelaws
of Texas are understood by no man and to require mer-
chants to desclde thta no Jobber of manufacturer that he
deals with belong to a trust before renewing his stock is
such a foolish decision that even tho Hon. Plaud Collard
would balk nt making It It seems to us. Such a law and
ruling under It would make It dangerous for any merchant
to buy flour meat sugar clothing wagons buggies
'tnplements or oven a box of matches. This law. If
there bo such an one Is the limit and we do not believe
that it would stand In any court a minute.

THIS ENTIRE STOCK of Merchandise must be closed kit cost or losses or the claims of others will
not hold us back. Some plain facts about our GREA SLAUGHTERING PRICE RECORD: Our
business was founded with this motto: "The Same Goods foHess Money or Better Goods for the Same Money."
And weVe lived up to it ALWAYS. We have gained the corlfience of the people and from a small
beginning we have grown to be leaders of bargains. Other stores mavmake spasmodic announcements
of their readiness to meet the lower price we maintain but WEIMEUSIO AS IN THE PAST; in
price in assortment in quality. Others under the spur of complaining customers may occasionally re-
duce the price. HERE IT WAS ORIGINALLY LOWEST. Our customers ak. never disquieted by the
thought that it might cost less elsewhere. Satisfaction is the basis ofc every sal. vfe want every customer
of ours to return anv article Durchased from us duriner this Sale that when' thevSarrived home and ex
