Tho Mail Order Habit.

Buying from mail order houses h one
OF tho most deplorable habits which .
commsmity can contract. 1t not only
takes mOney away which should be
spsnt ut home. but the people WIN prsc-
tics It seldom fail To discover that they
could have done better by patronizinx
local merchants.
There are u great many things which
arc manufactured primarily IL sell.
Like the peach. when handled they
sptekly lose their bloom. That Is the
class OF goods which renders sales Ivy

Misleading pictures are the pin hooks
upon which the buyers ar1 caught.
They purchase under the spell of ths
engraver and forget that frog pond is
sometimes work Of art in an oil paint
ing, while IN reality 1t is village
nuisance.
II the people whose fingers have been
burned by the mail order business would
talk, t,seir experience would abolish tho
practice. But those who have suffered
by their own mistakes are not much in

There is one thing always certain:

WHAT HOME IS.

Home has a cool hand and = soft
voice-and sympathy.
Home is where you can speak your
mind and criticise yous employer.
Home is where you can pull OF
your shoes and put o. your slippers.
Home has a quiet rest for the tired
head, and home is where you can
cry out your heartweariness.
Home is where you can shove the
days burdens into the hall closet and
hold yourself straight and free once
more.
A home is . responsibility, but not
any moro so now than in the time of
our fathers. No man or woman
worthy OF the name viii shirk a re-
sponsibility that means the welfare
of our country. It is that RESPONSE
bility that makes sturdy citizens and
selects great men to rule us.
Home is earth's Eden to those who
wfsh it to be so and viii strive to
make it so. a little more thought
fulness, a little less selfishness; a lit
tie of self-abnegation and a good
deal of sentiment; much of imsgina-
ton and a great lot OF lovableness;
an ideal to grow TO and enough prac-
ticability to keep things moving
smoothly; such constitute the haven
that most of us look forward to and
that some of US reach.
