A GOOD town is one where the farmer and the laborer spends his money with the home-mer- chants for everything he can ob- tain there, where, the citizens help and encourage everything that tends to the upbuilding of the town. The home merchant is the man who helps pay for the streets whereon you walk, the school in which your children receive their education, the church i'll which you worship. His name usually leads all subscription papers. He is a man who cannot afford to swindle you, he stays with when diversity overtakes you, he sticks to you through thick and thin. These are only few of the req sons why you should patronize the home merchants. By doing this business becomes lively and the town prosperous and more pleasant to live in.

 to carry out their joke, one remaining concealed quite a dis tance from the house, for she certainly was afraid. The other . who at the same time was the older of the two, did not fear anything until the door opened in answer to her knock. It was at this point that the intruder wished she wasn't where she was. Any place would have been preferable at this critical moment to the place she at that tim e occupied. In the place of a frightened female she saw the

SOLICITORS HAVE PILIKIA

That there was not some one serious
~ injured at the Mariposa this morning
while she was entering the harbor was
due more to good fortune than good
management. James H. Love of the
Pacihc Transfer Company had John
Mahuka rowed out to the Mariposa for
the purpose of boarding the vessel to
solicit orders for the transfer company.
The representatives of the Union
transfer Company were there in one Of
Aoung Brothers launches. According
to the statement of Mr. Love the launch
people crowded his boat out of one
position and when he changed and took
hold of rope toward the aft part of
the ship they worked back and repeated
their attempt to make him let loose
Mahuka's boat was damned between
the steamship and the launch and the
seams strained so the row boat began
TO leak. 1t looked as If both the launch
and the row boat would be up set when
the steamer started to come inside but
the launch cut loose and escaped. The
row boat jumped clear over the launch.
