Almost every week a loud-mouthed “cheap Johnnie” stations himself on our street corners and sells all sorts of articles at prices seemingly lower than one could , afford lo steal them at. Every night he is surrounded by a crowd of citizens who buy his goods almost as fast as he can hand them out to thi in. A Democrt reporter watched the proceedings for a short time and noticed him sell bunch after bunch of lead pencils—two dozen tor a quarter —and then wondered if Decatur merchants could afford to sell them at the same prices. Next morning he went around to several different stores and priced the quality of lead pencils and found at least three diffi rent business houses that would duplicate the prices and throw in an extra lead pencil to boot. This same individual has been selling cheap fountain pens for fifteen cents that can be bought any place in town at ten cents each. He has been selling six pair of socks for a quarter and getting lots of buyers, when these same could go to any gents furnishing house in town and get them at the same price. The buyers of these goods lai or under the impression that they are getting the goods very cheap and that the home mer chants are charging ruinous prices for the same quality of merchandise, while in fact they are paying their money out to a Stranger who will take it out of town and not give them any better or cheaper goods than they could get at the city stores. The street fakir pays a license of $2 a day. for every day he sells on the street, and if the license was raised to about five times that much it would have tl«e effect of keeping such traveling salesmen out of the town and allow the money spent at their temporary places of business to go to the ho me merchants who belong here, pay faxes fuare and expect to stay here. The greatest Strike. Among the great si>i’»es that of Dr. Miles in discovering Ire New Heart Cprp has proven itself to be one of the most important.’ The den.avd for it has become astonishing. Already the treatment o t heart disease is being revolutionized, and many unexpected cures affected. It soon relieves short •kr« -^b ) fluttering, pains in side, arm or shoulder, wef;k and hungry .spells, oppression, swelling of »nk)ps, smothering and heart dropsy.

Thus far, however, they' have not earned the rewark of SI,OOO offered by the proprietors ot Swift’s Specific for the discovery, by analysis, of a particle of mercury, iodide of poia<h, or any pobonous substance, in their famous medicine. The reason the reward has not been picked up is because there are no mineral or poisonous substances in Swift’s Specific.

Working Women. We give below, the .prize contribution written by Miss Conyer, and published by the Chicago Herald, for which she received S2O in gold. Miss Conyer’s contribution is a follows: “I would rather work in a store, or even in a factory, than to do housework. Although I am a poor girl and must earn my living, always more or less a slave, I wish to live my own life as nearly as I can. A girl who does housework is a servant and lam a clerk. If you wish to undei stand in the plainest way the reason why I prefer to be a clerk rather than a servant take your dictionary and contrast the definition of those two words. I work for a salary which must appear small to men, but I manage to exist and to enjoy several luxuries, chief of which is my personal independence. “I would rather work for men than for women. Men have their taults, bad ones, indeed, but one can get along with them by exercising tact and courage. But the taults of the woman of the house are simply unbearable. She is a tyrant, petti but inflexible. If you are her servant, you are the sufferer from her everchanging moods and the creature of her whims. You work for her in dirt and eat interior food in an inferior room in an inferior way. She never speaks to you as though you were a human being, and her dogs she treats as though they were socially above you. I don’t mean this to be severe, but literal. It is the exact truth. And where she puts you, the world finds you. Its valuation of you is the one it receives from her. The servant girls are the unemancipated slaves of this country. Do you imagine that a few dollars a week would tempt me to join their ranks? I have no slurs to put upon them, but I dont propose to share that which their employers and society insist upon giving them, so long as I can earn bread and butter in a store or factory and be myself, and tree. It seems to me this question is absurd. There is no choice for an American girl who has the capacity to think for a moment between mercantile work and housework for a mistress. The one is hard, but a woman—a real woman—can go through it and come out with clean hands. The other is degrading physically, mentally and socially. If the housewives hired girls for companions they would get companions, but they advertise for servants. Your mistress doesn’t want an associate, but a slave. I don’t blame her for not desiring the cook at the dinner table with her, or the second girl in the parlor entertaining guests, but I do say that if she demanded cooks who were fit to associate with her and second girls who could entertain her guests, and if she desired her employes to do these things she might get bright American girls to bake her bread and make her beds. But that ig thp only chance. lam not pleading for social equality, I wouldn’t do housework if I could help it, even if the social restrictions were removed. I know that the system of hired help has been a natural growth on each side and that it can’t be changed. And I simply thank heaven that business has given the Amer iuar, opp >rtunity of sp'endidly bettering her condition.’' Chyrcn Etiquette. There is no reason why all people should not be as polite and respectful in and abound t|)p ho’j§e of God as they are at private residences, yet they are notThere are a great many persons who act as though Sunday services were held that they might exchange greetings with friends and'neighbors and have a general good ti|pp gnd an old fashioned visit. It is all right to be sociable apd if is not thp intention of the Democrat to presetibe a set of rules for churchgoers to follow, but there are some scenes enacted by a number of persons which greatly annoy the attentive listener and might with the exerfrfce qf g little thought* be avoided. It is not polite jjhown a seat by the usher to drop down in the earner and remain there immovable, compelling ladies and gentlemen to crowd past you. Either move along to the other end of the seat or step out into the aisle and let the newcom ers pass in. Such proceedings would be all right on a street car but is not church etiquette. The doxology and benediction are as much parts of the service as the voluntary or opening prayer, ami it is illfflannerly, if not irreverent to begin stamping on your rubbers or putting on your wraps before the “amen” of the benediction has been pronounced. It is also the height of ill-manners and contrary to for young gentlemen (?) to congregate in front of thp churches and stare with vulgar eyes into the faces of each lady, looking for young ladits they were ashamed to be seen with in church. Such breeding is always below par and the young man that practices the habit must carry the brand. It you wish to be a gentleman qcf fjs a gentleman, but it should be term inhered that the title pan 1 ever be gained bv standing with a lot of rowdies around the outside of a church.
