A Compliment to Our Town

Whenever | visit a town" said stranger who
called the other day. Il invariably watch the columns
of the papers for evidence of the push enter
prise and prosperity of the merchants and other ct
of the place. Wherever you find the local paper
well supported you may that there is an inte
gent community, Wherever you find merchants alive
to the value of advertising you to find an
erprsing place / was pleased to see the other day
in the columns of the Northerner a remarkable.cloth
ing advertisements one that would do credit to any
merchant in New York Chicago 1t at once caught
my eye and held my attention until L had read it
through 1t certainly speaks well for your enterpris
ing clothing house here. There's halfway bust
ness for Them they sell the best and willing to- Jet
the people know it. That's what l like to see and
you might well make up your mind to fact, and
that is, whether you find merchant handling the h.
S, M. brand of clothing you may put him down for
the most enerprising clothing in the town This is
true wherever have been. Yes, E. Smith & Co. de-
serve the rush of trade they getting; they are
giving the reople values for their money.
We should judge man by his deeds more than
his words; yet when find man who talks under
standingly about his business pretty safe in
thinking that he knows his business thoroughly.
When business house tells in plain, simple, straight
forward way what it expects to do what it has to sell,
and how intends to sell it, feel confidence in the
ability of that house to make good its word. Take,
for instance, the advertisement of r. Smith Co. in
this paper under the heading Self respect it says
plainly and forcbly there IL be value giving in
coats from at our store; it don't tell you that
there will be great slaughter sale of fine clothing
that goods will be sold twenty per cent less than cost
but there will be value giving" Everyone who reads
that sentence knows there is reserve force back of
1.-THE deed will be than than the words; all the
strength is not wasted in blow and buster BE fair
with yourself, what your dollars will do here
says the ad-thas to the pontit says to the reader
as plainly $ can be: You have word that we'll
give you values; come and see whether we do it
not don't buy unless you want to, but come and
see" This is the kind of advertisement that pays
the merchant to print This is the kind of
chant that pays the people to patroni1e. Read the
'ad' and then be fair with yourself and visit

Millionaire Mackay tells story of a
contest he had with one of his foremen.
The foreman was something of nat
uralist and trained one of the enormous
grasshoppers of the west, as Mark Twain
trained his frog, until he could jump
about ten feet. Then he interested Mr..
Mackay III the insect Mr.. Mackay
went out and caught some hoppers and
backed them against the record breaker,
with the result that he was beaten ev-
cry time Then he became determined
to win and sent several Of the hands
out to hunt for the strongest jumpers
they could find. But all to 10 purpose
until one day he discovered wet spot
ON the table near where the fo-eman's
hopper had sat. Investigating the mat
ter. he found that the spot was very
strong ammonia, that the foreman had
a vial Of ammonia with a dropper in
his sleeve, and that a drop of the am.
monia made grassbopper jump hard
enough to beat the record every time.
So Mr.. Mackay provided himself with
a dropper and then went to another
battle The same morning he managed
to get hold of the foreman's dropper,
emptied it and filled it with chloroforn1,
instead of ammonia, and then kept the
foreman with him until the last minute.
The grasshoppers were brought forth,
and Mr.. Mackay's flew through space,
while the foreman's only heaved and
heaved, finally rolling over and going to
sleep. 1twas not until the third contest
that the foreman found out the trick.

BY REV. BEVERLY d. TUCKER.

Salutamus, o Leader long lost,
And passed from our vision and pen,
Tho thine arms on thy bosom be crossed
We call US thy men,
And we list for the word of command
That leaped from the lips that are mute,
Tho it come not-yet loyal we stand
And give thee salute
Thou hast gone, o our Leader, where ne'er
Is heard of the praise and the blame,
Yet resistless outings the loud cheer
At sound of thy name!
All the face and the form we knew well
Are lost in the chasm of years,
But our love has a power to dispel
The mist of our tears.
And thy glory shall tighten through time
The vistas of duty-and then
We shall know that our hero sublime
Still leadeth his men!
