A leading business man in a town we
know recently came to the conclusion
that home printing was not good enough
for his firm, Sc he sent to one of the
large cities to have some envelopes
printed. The city man duplicated the
home printers work in type and design,
but used stock about is cents pei 1000
cheaper, and charged the same price.
The merchant paid shipping charges.
This same business man is a strong be-
lever in supporting home institutions,
and it grieves him much to see his Gus
toners sending to the city mail-order
houses for little articles lie carries in
stock.

According to a recent decision of the
United States Supreme Court no China
man can become an American citizen,
and any Chinaman who has become an
American citizen forfeits his citizenship
by even a temporary visit to China.
This proves the principle of equal rights
to be fctlon.-Exchange.
ALE samee, it isn't citizenship that
John Chinaman is after in this country
lit is the great American dollar he is
chasing over to China. Why. he won't
ever allow his bones to rot in Uncle
Sans unhaIlowed soil, but has himself
shipped back to China when dead, not
caring to become contaminated with
