Kickapoo Indian Sagwa Does Good Work in Maine.

Earnest Endorrement of Kickapoo Rem- edies from the Extreme North Eastern Section of the United States. Merit Alone Could Have Made These Remedies so Widely known and Universally lLndorsed by the Peopie.

MONTICELLO, Aroostook Co., Me. Oct. 16, 1892.

I wish to te!) von what your great med. icine Kickapoo In- dian Sagwa, has done for me and my family.

BOTH SIDES OF THE COUNTER.

There has been considerable eaid and written regarding the amenities of the re- tail trade and much advice offered, chiefly to the inside of the counter, as to the pr p> er and especially the profitable treatment of possible customers which doubtless has resulted to the moral and financial advant- age of those dealers who “live to please” because they must “please to live.” Per- haps the outside of the counter may have

been ne giec ted too much in the distribu- ;

ton of trade pointers, and this may war- rant our acceptance of a mental call to sit judicially “on the counter” with words of wisdom (7) for the parties interested, but bearing in mind, as above stated, the pro- portion due to each. We have to accept the fact of an irresistable conflict between buyer and seller which does not exactly ac-

|eord with the teachings of the Golden

;

Rule.

This manifests itself in a sort of diplo- macy which is } e-able to deceive, bnt does not_always show itself in oral prevarica-

| tion, and is likely to hide svelfisi: motives behind words which at best are but half

| truths.

She decided to try it, and before she had

she had taken two bottles she was gaining fast, and before the third bottle was fin- ished she completely recovered her health, and has been a well woman ever since, and her cure is a wonder to all.

Some time after this I was taken sick and my trouble was pronounced Dys~ pepsia by a physi- cian who relieved me some, but did not cure me. My wife ad- vised me to try Sagwa. I did so and was cured, Soon after that ] was 7 attacked with the Crippe and could not } get rid of it. Every yfrs. Jonn 5. White. tinditodocesivas*.. - completely used up. At my wife’s sug: gestion I tried Kickapoo Indian Sag- wa sgain, and after using less than two bottles I considered myself entirely well and have remained well ever since. I think I can say that Sagwa its the best remedy that a family can have. In case of Colds there is nothing bet- ter that I know of than taking a good dose before going to bed, and my wife says she would not think of keeping house withou!

We may infer that Solomon the Wise was, by reason of his extensive feminine connection, quite familiar with outside-the- counter remarks, and his “It is nought, it is nought, saith the buyer, but when he is gone his way then he boasteth,” wa a

F.) immediately compare it unfavorably with “that one we saw at Rostem’s” which was one of the same price, but “better looking and a leetle bigger.” Of course the stove is bonght as was intended, and its merits extolled to visiting neighbors, with the self-approbative remark that “1 made him throw in a poker and a rattlehox for the baby.”

We think a little of “ put yourself in his place” would be good for both sides of the counter; the buyer realizing that the fact of carrying astock of goods for him to select from warrants a profit on their sale, and the dealer feeling that the same fact gives him a right to so-called patron- age, Asa rule, the inxide of the counter is the most humble servant of the outside,

and to be waited on implies a servile |

acquiescence in all the unwarranted de- mands often made upon the dealer’s time, patience and temper. Sometimes the airs that patrons put on are resented, as ina case that comes to memory. It was ina country store where a genera) stock of as-

when trade was extra good, a man asked

the boy clerk to give him change for a ¢5 |

bill, to which the clerk objected, saying

that the little in the cash drawer would be |

needed for customers. “What is the price of that?” said the man, pointing to an

| afticle. It was immediately laid on the

counter with the answer, “‘tifty cents.” “I will take it,” said the man, “and now,”

| (with an oath) “you will have to change

| | |

}

| the bill.” “Hold on,” said the proprietor,

who had seen and heard the transaction,

“we don’t have to do anything of the kind

under compulsion. The article is not for sale to you,and we won’t change your bill.” Of course that man’s present and prospective patronage waa lost but not re- gretted,

It has been said that there are no friend ships in trade, but it does not follow that there may not be mutual confidence, al- though as that isa plant of slow growth it will be a long time before it flourishes across the counter, replacing the prevail- ing distrust which makes small trades a skirmish and larger ones a campaign. Both parties may be free from a direct deception, yet each will allow the othir to make self-injuring mistakes, with the after-comment that “I look out for myself and others must for themselves.” A lady came to a dry goods store with a sampie of cloth she wished to match, which the clerk could do in color but not in quality, thus losing the sale. The boss said in

reprimanding the clerk, “Why did you |

show the best piece first?” “Because it was most like her sample.” “Next time begin with the coarser goods and after-

will then appear more #6 to a customer.” Will the reader please estimate the mora!

JOHN STEPHENSON. He Built the First Street-car GO Years Ago, and Died on Monday at New-Rocheltie, §. I.

Mr. Stephenson was bornon July +t. i809, of English and Scotch parentace, near Armagh, Ireland. With his par ents he came to New York in 18i1, and lived here until his death. He was edu- cated at the Wesleyan Seminary in this city, andit was the intention of his father that he should pursue a mercan- tile life. He spent three years in a counting-house, but his mechanical turn of mind finally induced his father to ap prentice him, at the age «of 17, to a coachmaker. The elder Stephenson set aside a room in his house, filled it with tools and encouraged his son to make re- pairs about the house. He made boys’ wagons, bird cages, sleighs and other things, displaying considerable ingenuity in their construction.

During the first two vears of youns Stephenson's apprenticeship to Andrew Wade of No, 347 Broome Street he spent his evenings drawing and designing. Abram Brower, a liverymanat No, 661 Broadway, the pioneer vf the Broadway omnibus lines, had for four years ran accommodation vehicles from the cor- ner of Broadway and Bleecker street to Wall street. Fare one shilling. His car- | riages were repaired at Andrew Wade's

by young Stephenson.

In 1831, after his apprenticeship was completed, Mr. Brewer invited Mr. Stephenson to open a shop at No. 667 Broadway. On May 1, 1831, Mr. Ste- phenson began business on his own ac- count. Then he designed the first vehi-

| cle in New York known as an omnibus, | which was quickly followed by the Min- erva, the Mentor, the Forget-me-Not and others, On the 29th of the following March his shop and all his stock were de-

at No. 264 Elizabeth street. Mr. Stephenson had a growing omni-

| 25, 1881, presented a new field for the | exercise his skill. This, the first of | street railroads, confined by its charter | to the corporate limits of the city, had | for its president John Mason of the

| Chemical Bank. The business and pas- | | senger office was on the east side of the |

| Bowery, two doors below Stanton Street. | The company arranged with Mr, Stephen- | son to construct a car of entirely original design. The Stephenson car John Mason, named after the president of the road,

| has become historical as the first street: | | car ever used, On November 26, 1832, |

| the road was opened from Prince Street | to 14th Street. On its firet trip the car | carried the Maror and Common Council | of the city. Mr. Stephenson received a | patent on the car, now in possession of | his family, signed by Andrew Jackson, President of the United States, and by |} members of the Cabinet. Other orders

| from the same company followed, and in |

| three years orders were received from

| from Cuba and Florida.

| ground for a factory on 120th Street and

4th Avenue, but before he could build |

| there financial troubles came and he had | to give up the property. In 1843 he pur- | chased the site of the present works in

rural district. His business increased so rapidly that he paid for the factory and land in seven years. As the first tramways on street railroads were not successful, no attempt to extend” them was made in this city until 1852, when ' charters for 2d, 3d, 8th and 9th-avenue lines were granted. Mr. Stephenson supplied the cars for these roads. Street railroads are essentially American, and Mr. Stephenson's part in equipping the | earlier ones carried his name into every civilized land.

Mr. Stephenson belonged to the Metho- dist Episcopal Church, as did his pa- rents. Asachilu ne attended the first Sunday school in this city, which was established in 1816 in Public School No, 1 at Chatham street and Tryon Row. His fondness for music was very marked.

New York Sacred Music Society, which, 50 years ago, metin the Chatham The- atre, then a chapel. He was also a@ member of tie Harmonic Society, and

years of this time he was a member of

from Sunday schools and classes, Mr. Stephenson would never consent to be- coms a candidate for political office, ex- cept that of School Trustee in the 2ist Ward. This post he filled for 20 years, —New York Sun,
