Thousands of tons of beet sugar arc imported and manufactured in the United States, and yet none 1s sold on the eastern market. ' The fact is, nearly all the beet sugar made or im- ported into this country passes through the refineries. During the management of the Alvarado company by Dyer, the white sugar made bad a ready sale in San Francisco; and the grocers of Nebraska are now keeping in stock beet sugar made at Grand Island. At Speeckels’ Philadelphia retinery 75 per cent of all sugar handled is beet sugar. The product is placed on the market, at the rate of 5,000 barrels per diem, and finds its way to confectioners throughout the country, aud no complaint has yet been made, thus proving the article to be equal to the very best West India product, Nearly every refinery of the country now uses beet sugar for mixing. People have been eating beet sugar for yeurs without knowing it, and it is nonsense to continue the prejudice against a product that sooner or later is bound to conquer. CLOAKING UP BUSINESS, In the warm summer month's when the average citizen takes most interest in a cool lemonade and a linen duster, the cold blooded manufacturer and jobber of heavy winter goods sits down and’ figures out what he will do for suffering humanity “when November | winds blow chill and cold.” A local cloak dealer was recently putting in his spare moments in discussing the future prospects of his business and according to his calculations the fall and winter business will be good. In the first place the good condition of the country, which is the foundation of general prosperity and active business, is a cause for congratulation. The stock market, the quotations on which have steadily risen of late, is a good sign of n prosperous condition, Although last winter was not a remarkably sovere one, it never- theless continued from an early date nway into April, necessitating the wearing of heavy garments for a longer time than usual, and wearing them out. The retail buyvers have been conservative forsome time. “Their stocks are generally reported in fair condition as far as heavy fnuds are concerned. Generally a very hope- ul feeling exists concerning the trade of next fall and winter, and this, together with the light condition of stocks, should cause a freedom in buying, ‘The tendency which all fashion reports in- dicate, will be towards garments of greater in, 8 and 10 in, L8 i, 810,00 g 14 and 16 ft, §i0.50. 1 in, 29, §48,00 11n, 528, $45.00 select, 1in) s2s, #1003 115, b seloct, 11n, s2, EIL00; 1, % select, 1 in, 24.00; 1, . all 10-foot, #1.00 extra.

Uncle Will, who had gone to bid mother good- bye, came out laden with the twins, who had eried so hard to come, and Uncle Will told mother they would take good care of them, meaning that grandma and aunty would.

After picking out, the clothes we played heartily all the restof the afternoon. In the afternoon we had the tableaux. In one tableau we had dressed Gordon up as a soldier. When we were play- ing in the garret that day we had found a pair of boots which were **bran-new,” as Gordon snid. He had them on when we were through playing. Gor begged grandma for the shoes. He said: **Please give them 1o me, grandma,they just fit me.” *No, Gordon, those boots made my fortune,” said grandma. “O, tell us; won’t you, grandma?” said Ellis. ©'0, no, grandma, don’t, you said you would tell us about how the tile in the fireplace was broken the next time we came, aid I Grandma smiled and said: “The boots and tiles belong to the sume story.

'When he reached his hos- tess’ house he had some trouble to get them off. After sup- por he started for home; the boots went on him very = well but when he reached home they wouid not come off, and he pulled and pulled in vain. ‘Cut them.’ said Aunt Louise, but he was too proud of them. After a while he said, ‘One more pull, and if they don’t come off I'll cut them.” He gave the pull and off came the hoot so suddenly that his arm flew back and hit the tile in the fireplace, and out it fell and a shining piece of gold with it. Ho drew up a chairand pulled out bag after bag of money.
