The steel range men who have been
selling people all over the country
ranges for about twice the price home
dealers would have charged for the
same article and who have been work
ing all sorts Of dishonest tricks to
bring about their sales, have brought
such a volume of warning and advice
from the local press Of the country
that the wonder Is that there is any
one who i not on the lookout for
such fellows. Possibly the papers
overdo the matter. Here il > bit Of
characteristic advice clipped from an
esteemed exchange:
Deal only with those whom you
know to be honest and set the dog on
everyone Of the travelling vendors that
sets foot in your door yard.
such advice IS neither wise nor be-
coming. Not every solicitor is ras-
cal or a nuisance. Staple articles Of
commerce and trade should generally
be bought Of home dealers. When a
man comes around with wonderful
bargains in stoves, hardware, clothing
or groceries you may depend upon it
something is wrong. Either he came
by them dishonesty or the tempting
bait he holds out has hook for suck
ers in it.
On the other hand. there is large
number OF honorable people-ambi-
tious college students, school teachers
and others-who canvas for really
meritorious articles, who are entitled
not only to courteous treatment but
also to our admiration for their IN
dustry and pluck in trying to earn an
honest dollar during their vacations.
In many homes the best-it may be
the only evidence Of culture and re-
finement, was placed there through
the solicitation OF an agent The IL
Illustrated family Bible, the picture on
the wall. gems OF poetry and song are
an inspiration-the one bright spot
in the otherwise desolate and sordid
home.
Good manners and courtesy, always,
towards strangers and acquaintance
is the rule that should govern. To
''set the dog on is semi-barbarous
and unworthy any lady or gentlemen.
1t Is not necessary to buy everything
an agent wants To sell but you can
treat him with the respect you would
have your sou or brother receive
under similar circumstances. Let
sense rather than prejudice govern
your dealing with strangers and ac-
quaintances alike and do not snub an
honest, ambitious boy trying to make
a living in a legitimate way, because
Won were some time fool enough to let
sleek gentleman put lightning rods
all over you.

Much as we may regret it the fact
still remains that there are in the
world dishonest men and swindlers.
There always have been and probably
always will be. Likewise there are
people in every community easily
duped by oily-tongned schemers'
Without gullible patrons the efforts OF
the smoothest swindler would soon
come to naught. And did you ever
stop to think that often the so-called
victim OF the sharper Is also blamableP
1t Is frequently his eagerness to get
the big end Of a trade, 70 get some
thing for nothing or to get good value

such cases the dupe is not much to be
pitied. His motives in making the
deal are no better than the more cum

Lon WAYNE and Billie Galloway
went fishing down to Porter's last
Thursday. (You are to understand
right now that this is no fish
story.'D The stream was reasonably
clear until that dashing shower came
up. In a few minutes the water was
very muddy AS they stood by the
edge OF the stream they noticed the
great bio suckers and redhorse wal
lowing in the shallow muddy water
and sticking their noses out now and
then as though they were nearly
choked. They reached in and with
their hands picked out seven big fell
lows weighing from two to three
pounds apiece. They say if they had
had a garden rake or something OF
that sort they could have gotten any
number of them. A little farther up
stream Joe Tebo's hired men were
throwing them out with pitchforks.
There is no doubt about this story.
The gentlemen brought home the fish
to prove it. Ii any further proof IS
wanted. Grant river is there yet and
Tebo will show you the pitchforks
any time. It isn't necessary to dig
worms for bait any more. Al. you
need is garden rakes and pitchforks

To Our Horse, Bud Rendleman.

There is pride in your eye, Bud Rendlc
AS tho you felt your charm,
As tho you knew, of all the rest,
You are the pet of StillSide farm.
AS tho you felt your Patchen birth.
The noble blood of your sire,
And revcled in Plutorian worth
With your mothers dash and fire.
AS tho you knew your form is grand
And your coat is so silky fair;
With your beautiful eyes that almost
speak,
And Your name like a maiden's hair
Last night was dreaming my beauty,
That l roamed in pasture land fair
And the little birds answered my singing
And the sun shonc so bright everywhere.
And gathered wild roses and daisies
On whose petals still sparkled with dew;
l pulled the green grass for the creatures,
And they ate from my hand-all but you
l looked for my favorite fondly,
For you did not come with the rest,
And wondered where you could be hiding
When you knew that loved you best.
Soon heard the firm tread of your football,
From the distance come bounding to me
And born on his back-waS rider,
one whom l scarce dared hoped to see.
On shoulders were epaulcts flashing,
In his gauntled hand sword cleaned
A nluSket hung close to the saddle,
And about him silken sash streamed
His handsome brown curlS were blown
slightly
From beneath a dashing drab hat
The blue uniform of the soldier
And the tlag-and he carried not that!
No! In the mouth of the charger,
Who so gaily the young captain bore,
Was carried the flag of our nation
The stars and the stripes waving DER.
Prancing grandly and guarding proudly
As tho 'twere treasure most rare
Our Bud showed loyalty to country,
With his head high held in the air.
So enraptured was and so startled,
That uttered cry of delight
Which at once broke the spell of my vision
And lay there awake in the night.
And my dream was a dream with its
waking,
Yet to me it possessed wild charm,
To see for moment "Old Glory"
Unfurled by the pet of our farm.
Ethel Simpson.
