a Little More About the Way
Harris Emery Co. Handle
Mail Orders.
Last week we talked a
little BIT about the way /
Harris Emery Co. Of Des
MONIES take care Of SAM
pie orders, but mailing
sample orders is only a
small part Of the handling
Of mail orders for dress
goods, etc, with perfect
satisfaction to the pur-
chaser.
After samples have
been sent out and you
have had the opportunity
to judge what you want
and you have sent in an
order on the neat order
blanks prepared for the
purpose, the thoughtful
ness Of the Harris Emery
Co. is again manifest.
When your order is re-
ceived in the house a
young woman Of taste
and diseernment takes
your order and goes with
it to all the various coun-
tiers where It is necessary
to purchase the goods or
dered BY you; buys them
just as carefully as you
would buy them for your
self. She doesn't permit
over Jealous statesmen to
press Upon her goods con-
trary to your order, nor
goods that would Be Of
indifferent value to you,
but buys Just what you
want. Of course, it is
sometimes true that what
you ordered is not in stock
and not to BE had in the
store, but in such cases
she goes to every other
store in Des MONIES and
: to the competing stores to
supply what you have or.
; dered. Finally, if the
goods you ordered are
not to be had in the city,
she may send you the
: nearest thing we have to
ii, but always with the
privilege Of returning it.
at the expense Of the firm
# It IS not satisfactory in
every way.
Then there is another
| little thing about shopping
by mail satisfactorily and
we have thought Of that,
too. It is frequently true
that you do not know
what is likely to be the
: most fashionable in color
ing, weave or style Of
makeup. We employ
the most advanced Paris
ian dress1nakers. Three
from our force are now in
4! Paris, France, looking up
i all the very latest wink
" les in Style of cloth. color
ings and cut. If you will
advise Of your height,
style Of figure and com
! plexion, the services Of
the Partisan dressmakers
are at your command.
i They will be glad to ad-
wise you just how to com
bine the cloth and color
ings that will produce the
most charming effect.
It is also to be noted as
a part Of the Harris-Em-
cry system that when
your purchases amount to
SIS or over express charges
are prepaid, 50 the goods
cost you no more than
the prices charged to the
people in Des , Moines
when they buy in person.

order and we can con

"onr rice was mot COOKED done.r

The large place the rice question oc-
cupies in Chinese thought is shown by
the fact that the most common saluta-
tion is the questions: Have you eaten
your rice?" The form of expression is
modified as the day passes each man
inquiripg of his neighbor with the reg
ularity, if not with the tender solicitude
of the faithful physician to his patient,
whether or not he has eaten his break
fast, his dinner or his supper, as the
case may be.
But we are not making much prog
ress with our cooking. 1t goes without
saying that this dirty rice must be
we'll washed, and that more than once.
The milkylooking water that we pour
off must not be thrown out. 1t makes
feed for the goats and pigs. We can
not only sell it for good price, but the
buyer will come and carry it away.
The rang, is a r,odel for economy
of fuel. 1t is built of brick and mud.
1t burns wood, dry grass or brush.
Our kettle is round and shallow, fit
ting low, close to the fire. 1t ia cast
in a clay mold, and is made of raw
iron.
If we can afford to ea+ all we want,
we will steam the rice; but if we have
to practice rigid economy we will
boil it soft, with plenty of water.
The rice being done, the cook dips
it up into large Jag. There is little
ceremony in the ordinary villagers
meals. Each member cf the family.
takes his bowl and helps himself.
Another jar with salt or fresh vege-
tables, and perhaps little fish or
pork, is on the table. He puts few
pieces on his bowl of rice, or takes
another bowl for them. A pair of
chopsticks as long as penholder,
made of bamboo, completes his outfit.
The table only serves as place at
which to replenish mis- bowl. He eats
as it suits his convenience, in groups
or alone, in the sun or in the shade.
But always and everywhere he sucks
in the soft semi-liquid rice with that
unpleasant sound that our mothers
taught us we must avoid in the eat
ing of soup. Unfortunately, Confu.
cius failed to call attention to the
manifest impoliteness of this manner
of eating. and fear the habit is now
too thoroughly established ever to be
eradicated, except among the few who
are favored with western education
and culture.
OF course, the wealthy and educated
classes generally have their meals
served at a table around which only
the male members of the family and
guests gather; but three-fourths of
the people eat their ordinary meals in
the manner above described
The NUMBER of times the bowl is re-
plenished depends upon the size and

occupation of the eater, and the
amount of rice in the jar. Our school
boys average one and one-third
pounds day. But boatman's al.
lowance is three times that. A good
average is about two pounds day.
Counting that there are 100000, 900
of Chinese, of whom, say, one-fourth
eat itt-e or no rice, and one-fourth
have all they want to eat, and the
remaining two-fourths eat half of the
average of two pounds daily, or one
pound a day, we Would have daily
consumption of rice by the Chinese
nation of 400,0OO,OOO pounds, or six
and two-thirds million ,ushels. This
amounts to an annual consumption Of
,434,000,O00 bushels. If this is too
liberal count, throw off the millions,
and we have still 1000, 100000 bushels,
which is probably conservative fig
ure.
The worlds wheat crop of dozen
years ago, as estimated in the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica of 1889, was about
2,O0O, 100000 bushels.
China, before very long, will become
an integral part of this planet, and
then this enormous production and
consumption of rice will be a large
| figure in the statistics of the worlds
food supply.

lively and more cheaply. In Japan
much the same methods prevailed un-
til recent years. OF course, it will be
long time before these methods will
be obsolete in domestic use. The
farmer who raises his own rice will con-
tinue to clean it in his own house in
this way, perhaps for generations to
come. But the people in the large
towns and cities, who have to buy, will
in time learn that it is not econom-
ical nor necessary for them to buy
three or four pounds of clay with every

Now that we have our rice we must

A GEORGIA INCIDENT.
Story of Tempestuous and Intem-
pernte Colonel and His
Lesson.


An old man leaning on a cane and
nearly blind is to be seen daily walk
ing about his premises in North Dem
yer. LIS disability is so marked that
anyone would say he must be civil
war veteran. But recently he cele-
brated his 18th anniversary. He is a
typical "old man." made so by war,
says the Denver Post.
Some 10 years ago n petition for a
pension was sent in by John c.. Fit
nam. The grounds for asking it were
that he was disabled while in the SER
vice of the United States as n corporal
in the One Hundred and Sixth Illinois.
1t hung fire for seven years.
Then some technical flaws were
found and the aid was re-
fused. Mr.. Fitnam, even then an old
man, was disheartened. Twelve
years more rolled by and then lucky
turn came to him.
Aid from tho pension bureau was
out of the question. Some other means
must be found. Why not ask con-
gress? 81 am lawyer and surely
will be able to get aid from congress-
thought Mr.. Fitnam. He sought Con-
gressman Shafroth. The congress
man was interested. He would aid
Mr.. Fitnam if there was any way of
doing it. There was n way. and last
December a bill was introduced for
Mr.. Fitnam's relief. Senator Teller
gave his services and thus 1t was pos
sible to pass the bill through both
houses by last February. 1t was not
signed until few days ago.
The and which had been so long
sought was now lessened in its degree.
for Mr.. Fitnam, now almost blind
and helpless, is forced to employ a
man who pilots him about when
ever the aged lawyer moves from
place to place. Though old and
blind and feeble he is not helpless or
weak-minded. The brain which has
for fifty-three years argued before the
jury is still in good condition. When
asked if he were ever in the active
service Mr.. Fitnam answered.: "No, but
] was in far worse place. The de
fensive line with its hell of disease
and filth is worse than the shot and
shell of battle. | saw active disease
but no active fighting. That disease
has made me what / am.
" Let. me tell you a story" he con-
tinued Its good story and shows
the type of men we had as commands
ers when | was in the service. While
we were stationed at Dalton, Ca,
was placed in charge of a squad tc
which the duty of bringing the com
missary supplies from the surround'
ing country was assigned. At dress
parade one afternoon an order was
read. Col.-let us say Smith-ouI
commander, ordered that each and
every man should do the proper
amount of saluting at the proper
time. If an officer did not return thu
salute of his interiors then the in
ferior would not be compelled to ga
lutte in return on the next meeting.
"Now. our colonel was good man
but subject to fits of temper and alsc
of intemperance. Well, sir, one day
