one says: TOO many people patronlze Il
dishonest man just as soon as an honest
man if they can save only one cent This
makes it hard for honest business These
two brief answers, and particularly the lat
ter, epitomize the whole matter. The bait
of temporary cheapness, at the ultimate
cost of quality and the benefits of healthful
connection contributes more to dishon-
esty in business than any other cause. Ii
is the chief factor in promoting adultera-
ton and poorer service, and the principal
medium through which monopoies are es-
tablished People do not take enough in
diyidual interest in patroniZing business
men who prefer to supply them with good
products and good service, but are often
driven to giving them an inferior quality of
beth in the alternative of doing so or
being driven out of business by less scru-
pulous rivals. Business is as honest as its
patronage The people can have any kind
of business they want by taking the per-
sc nal interest to regulate it through the in
strumentality of their patronage, quick
and effective medium.

Orphan Asylum, 1872.
Grocery Shop, 1897.

We think our memory serves US cor
rectly when we say the Orphan Asylum
at Oxford was opened under the super
intendence Of Mr.. j. III. Mills just TWEEN
ty-five years ago.
Thanksgiving Day was approaching
the treasury was empty, the pantry was
bare and forty thinly-clad children had
arrived-other applications daily COM
ing in.
Mr.. Mills wrote letters to the leading
newspapers giving the condition of af-
fairs, and through them asked the good
people of the State to send contributions.
The following week they poured in:
Tin Horns, Wheelless Wagons, Stale
Candy, Rancid Nuts, Wormy Cakes and
Crackers, Headless and Legless Dolls,
Horses and Sheep, Hornless Cows and
Billie Goats, and such like Supplies. Mr..
Mills again used the newspapers in
thanking the Donors for their Contribu-
tons. They had been received in the
same spirit in which they had been
sent (unbounded charity. He, however,
hoped thereafter everyone would re-
member 'that even a Paper Collar
would keep an Orphan warmer than a
Tin Horn"
