THE HOME MERCHANT.
He Is the Man Who Is Entitled to All Of
Your Trads-Peddlers Solicit Your
Trade Only on a Cash Basis.

When times are hard in a country
and farmers are short Of money, ped
dlers never bother them, says the
Dickinson County News. When meF-
chants are straining their credit to
supply the trade on time till money
gets easier" crops are grown and stock
fattened for market, peddlers don't
roam over the country selling farmers
machines, steel ranges, cloth remnants,
groceries, pictures and the Gke for
cash or bankable notes. Not much.
To do so they would have to share the
burdens and hardships Of the people,
as the home merchants do.
But when things are fairly brisk and
people tolerably prosperous the ped
dlers come-come, get and take away
substance to return no more The
right way, therefore, to do is, shun the
peddlers all the time-in the fat years
especially, for very few Of them show
up in the lean years.
In this day and age of teIegraphs,
fast freights and markets for buying
and selling near to every mans door.
it is safe and sure to set down all ped
oilers as fakes and fraUdes. Men or
women who CAD about the country
from one county and state to another,
selling wares, merchandise or mechan-
les that can be had at any time from
known, reliable home dealer, have no
legitimate business at home, or have
DO home. People who patronize them
always get the worst Of it. Beware of
peddIers. Stand by your home mer-
chants first, last and all the time.

"a wedding is always an event Of
almost national Importance and is
really a most picturesque ceremony"
writes the author Of "Oom Paul's
People" Of "The Boer Girl Of South
Africa" in the Ladies' Home Journal.
"The friends and relatives may ar
rive a day or two ahead of time, accord
ing to the distance to be travelled, and
the Boer homestead becomes a most
animated scene.
SCORES Of OK teams are scattered
about the surrounding plain, negro
servants are h1stling round; guns are
fired promiscuously whenever more
guests arrive; dancing, feasting and
coffee drinking are carried on in the
cottage and everywhere around it; i'm
promptu shooting matches and horse
races are decided, and joy is uncOn-
fined.
AFTER the ceremony and after all
the guests have kissed the bride and
bridegroom, the wedding feast is given,
and then the guests spend the night in
dancing and playing games.
sit would be a breach of etiquette
for any Of the guests to depart before
the dawn, and, indeed, the hddler's
music and the sound made by the
dancing feet are often heard until
noon of the following day.
'sThe wedding tour consists of q
journey to the cottage and farm which
the husband has secured from his
father, and which sdjoins the old
homestead"

mat Solid South.

Luck and superior political strategy
have characterized the republican sd-
ministration during most Of McKin-
ley's term, but luck has at last turned
aud strategy has failed.
When Mckinley was elected 6 famine
in India and short crops abroad sent
up the price Of American wheat, and
Mckinley took the credit. That was
luck.
When the Spanish war broke out,
Mckinley gave Fitz Hugh Lee and
Gen. Joe Wheeler q chance to do some
thing, and that succeeded in pleasing
the people Of the south. That vas
strategy.
Recently, however, the panic in Wall
street sent the interest Of call loans up
to 1856 per cent, and the war in Africa
is making a drain on gold. Evidently
luck has turned.
And now Alleged Governor Taylor
Of Kentucky, has caused the assassina-
ton of Actual Governor GOebeI and
the south is IN arms against Mckinley
republicans. Strategy has failed.
Once more the south will be solid
for democracy. Mckinley showed his
hand in the Taylor Oebel fight. He
sided with the republican usurper and
lawbreaker. The south viii have no
more friendship for such a man.
There will be no more factions in
the democratic party Of the south.
Solid once more it will march against

CONCENTRATED WEALTH BEGETs
P0TERTT.

POVERTY.
Where concentration Of wealth
reaches the highest point, poverty
keeps apace in a like ratio. While
noted for it its many miIIionaires, one
Of every forty Of the population Of New
York must be supported by charity or
starve. The metropolis enjoys the
somewhat unique distinction Of being
the richest and yet the poorest of
American cities; can boast Of more
milliOnaires and at the same time be
made to blush, if such a thing be pos
sible Of Gotham, for a greater per cent
Of raupers within her walls than any
other community In the United States.
With % per cent Of the inhabitants
dependent upon charity, is this what
speaks for American prosperity? where
this last condition is said to reach its
greatest heightb. A state Of affairs
that enriches one class by making
paupers Of as many more Is false pros
perity. New York is the financial
center Of America and naturally the
real fountain Of all trusts; and if this
trust movement is allowed to 60 on
unchecked, viii not the same position
Of wealth to poverty be established
throughout the United States?

a soIemn Kind II Joke.

A well known BaltimOrean presents
the latest bon mot of Ambassador
Choate, the authenticity of which is
vouched for, he says, in a trustworthy
letter just received by him from Eng

a recent banquet in London was a GER
tain distinguished nObIeman, who dur
ing the course Of the conversation, had
occasion to inquire:
"And to what station in your country,
Mr.. Choate, does your Mr.. Chauncey
NJ. Depew beIong?"
"To the Grand Central station, my
lord, readily replied the diplomat,
without a culver.
The noble Englishman's face ClOUded
for a moment with uncertainty.
SIN afraid you don't know what I
mean, !" added Mr.. Choate, about to 60
to his rescue. But MILFORD quickly
smiled a glad smile Of intelligence.
"Ahl I see, I see, Mr.. Choate," he ex-
claimed. "AIr. Depew belongs to your
grand, great middle class" Philadel-

PAUL JONES' COHESION.
Valuable Historical Document, lIissins
for Many Years, Now Owned by q
New York Man.

A valuable historic document, miss
ing for many years, the commission Of
John Paul Jones, has recently come TO
light. 1t is owned by z s. Olmstead,
Of Glens Falls, n. 2, a photograph Of
which appeared recently in the New
York World.
For the past 80 years this document
has been in the family Of Zalmon s.
Olmstesd, Of New York. Mrs. Ohm
stead's uncle was something Of an an
tiquarian, with a small museum Of his
own. So when there came to his house,
in the winter Of 1865, a travelling
printer named Benjamin Worcester,
with a document which he claimed to
be the long missing captains commits
sion Of the world-famous John Paul
Jones, the wise gentleman with a taste
for antiquities secured it without
delay.
And that is all that the present rep
resentatives Of the Olmstead family
can tell you about it. The earlier his
tory Of the document died with the old
/ PRIMER WIZ oAGo OWL14 H.
The famous document has been
thoroughly authenticated. The com
mission was dated at Philadelphia
October 10, 17T6, and was signed by
John Hancock, president Of the pro.
visiOnsl government.
Paul Jones was born in Scotland and
coming to America when a boy settled
on the Rappahannock river in Vir.
Rinia. The famous sea fight Of the
Bon HOmme Richard with the Scraps
was on September ., 1779. Louis XVI
Of France made him a cheYalier, and
after the revolutionary war he was an
admiral in the Russian navy. He died
in Paris and q movement is now on
foot to erect a suitable monument over
/ his grave.
