lowing ill-natured sharl:
"a man in our town is taking orders for
some grocery house in st. Louis. Better pat
roEize home dealers. The more trade they
have, the cheaper they can and will sell goods;
but we can't blame farmers for sending OF for
COAL"
As am the man referred to, wish to
arise and remark: I fail to see wherein
a person who orders bill Of goods from
Lacrosse, and then sits down and waits
for customers to come and buy them. is
any more home dealer than a man who
first sells his goods and then delivers them
fresh to his customers. l lam not running
down Dexter dealers, or their goods, nor
trying to make any one believe that the
prosperity of the town depends on his
buying of me box of baking powder or
a pound Of tea, neither do blame the
farmer or any one else for sending of
for coal or groceries either. if he can do
better than he can at home, but perhaps
the profits of the coal trade would be
greater If there were fewer town pau

an equal amount for coal furnished to
paupers and dead beats, and I think l
have right to any ones custom who
chooses to favor me with it. A man who
gets trusted for his coal, and then uses

possessed of very diminutive soul. l

Congressman Taulbee's Foot.

A good deal of the electioneering in
the Kentucky mountains is done by talk
ing at the crossroads and private con-
versations. Representative Taulbee, it
is said, never allowed an opportunity to
pass of making vote or of impressing
his constituents with the simplicity of
his nature and habit One day in one
of the little towns of the mountains a
revenue agent Just arrived. from the
north was standing near by a knot of
mountaineers, with whom Taulbee was
chatting. They were sitting on log in
front of a grocery, and the revenue
agent was leaning against tree some
distance away. Seeing him, Taulbee
called out, as he pointed to his patent
leather boots, which shone like polished
jet in the rays of the setting sun: Il
don't suppose. kurnel. those feet of
yours ever followed the plOw?' mo,
indeed" responded the revenue agent,
Sin the country where l come from we
hire men to do our plowing, and those
who have more brains make their
money in other ways"
"Well," said Taulbee, as he looked
about upon his knot of shirt-sleeved.
tobacco-chewing constituents, Il would
like to show one you fellows from the
north the foot of farmers boy who
has followed the plow and is not
ashamed of it," and with that Con-
gresham Taulbee. or, rather, Caudi-
date Taulbee-it was during his cam
paign for elections-pulled off his shoe,
tore off his stocking, and held up a
calloused and brier-scarrcd foot to the
disgusted gaze of the revenue agent
As he did so the mountaineers nudged
each other. and one of them whispered
to his neighbor: That's the kind of 4
feiler to send to congress; he's our man,
an we're bouu' TO vote for him." The
revenue agent merely said that such
actions would almost be an indictable
offense in the north, and left Taulbee in
! disgust-C0r. C{eUelaItd Leader.

For wears the English and French
controlled the manufacture of haIrplns,
and it is only within the last twenty
years that the goods have been pro-
duced in this country to any extent.
The machinery used is of a delicate and
intricate character, as the prices at
which pins are sold necessitatcs the
most rapid and cheapest process, which
can only be secured by automatic
machines. The wire is made expressly
for the purpose and put up in large coils
which are placed on reels, and the end
of the wire is placed in Il clamp which
carries it to a machine while straighten-
ing it; from there it runs in another
machine, which cuts, bends, and, by Il
delicate and instantaneous process,
sharpens the points. Running at full
speed, these machines will turn out 120
hairpins every minute. To economic
it is necessary to keep them working
night and day. The difficult part of the
work is the enameling, which is done
by dipping in preparation and bak-
ing in an oven. Here is where the most
constant and careful attention is re-
quired, as the pin must be perfectly
smooth and the enamel have Il perfect
polish. The slightest particles of dust
cause imperfectiOns and roughness,
which is Objectionable and
