Ending Of His Story Was Simple But

ed his hearers.
Some years ago." he said, II was
sle:ghing in the country and my way
lay across frozen river. knew
the ice was thin. but was determined
to cross. The team scurried over
the river under whip, and we were
midway between the shores when the
ice suddenly gave way and the sleigh,
horses and myself sank within sec.
ond to the bottom. However, the
speed of the horses was so great that
we were carried by the momentum
safe upon the other shore-a little
wet. to be sure. but not much the
worse for that
The thin. silent man had listened
with great interest to the story.

same sort of an accident happened to
me. The issue, however. was more
tragic"

Iof late received inudmerable letters
regarding his claim that women are
unable to make Trustworthy identifica.
tions, and he has also been inter.
viewed by innumerable reporters on
this subject. To one reporter. the

"A salesman of trouser-stretchers
told me rather good thing about a
woman this morning. 1t is somewhat
foreign to the topic we're discussing,
but I'll repeat 1t to you. anyway.
The salesman said he was going
from house to house one evening sell

the bell of certain dwelling, and a
man came to the door.
Are you. sir, the master Of this
house?" the salesman asked.

Spending Money at home.

AT this season of tile year every
Colorado town is flooded with cat
alogues from mail-order houses in
Chicago and other cities. Goods
are attractively pictured and glow
ingly described, and the most al
Turing prices are quoted. The al
legged advantages Of big stocks to
select from are impressed upon
the reader, but after the deal is
made and the freight paid, he us
ually finds that his bargain is not
such a rare one after all, and dis.
covers then that lie didn't get his
moneys worth.
= The matter of home-trading is a
most important one. 1t is the
basis OF their prosperity, and the
lack Of it is generally the prime
cause of business depression, il
such exists. The home merchant
rs a rule, does not ask as high a
price for the same quality of goods
as can be obtained in the cities af-
ter the express is paid.
Money spent at home has dou,
bic value. 1t benefits those be.
