After the farmer had gone the mer-

the talk was worth $3.50 at least %

had a book account of 1885 against

he doesn't know any better.

From Albuquerque Citizen.
This will be an editorial about real
and unreal things. We live in a real
world. The ground under our feet,
the things that grow in it, men, wom-
en-, everything we see is real. To be
sure there are real things that are
unseen, but the things that are cen
are by no means unreal. They are
evident. They are tangible.
There are some people who live,
move and have their being in unreal
ways of life are artificial. They hold
to unreal beliefs. They hope for I'M
real happiness. The genuine offends
them. They prefer unreal books.
They like unreal plays. Their woes
are largely unreal. And even their
joys are affected.
Now there is a great charm in the
real. The made can never vie with
the natural. Take a book, for exam
pie. The writer who can tell us truly
about commonplace things, humdrum
life, will write a book that is worth
while. Indeed, he who can cut and
frame for us a section of life-any
life-is a master. That is what Dick
ems did, and Hugo and Tolstoi and
Balzac.
OF all the people in this world, the
Americans ought to be a cal people.
We do things. We make things. We
o things. But many of our books
n plays and pictures and poems
are way out of touch with our real
lives. They bark back too much.

HOME TRADE Is ECONOMY.

The Person Who Sends Away For
His Supplies Should Pay His Ac-
count With the Home Merchant
From American Press.
If there is any person who a esti-
mate the value of a stranger on
short acquaintance, it is a travelling
salesman who meets men in business
daily and must Immediately become
familiar with all in order to be a sue
cess as a salesman. 1t is rare that
you can fool a drummer-he usually
measures you for what you are worth
and his quick measurements are very
nearly exact.
A short time ago the editor heard
a dialogue between a farmer and a
representative of a sash and door firm
while the latter was awaiting for the
next train to leave town. In the town
grocery store the farmer was COM
planning of trouble with his bill of
lading on the shipment of a stove
form a Chicago mail order house. He
couldn't get his stove because of a
mistake in the bill. Some sympa-
thized with the fellow, but the drum
mer asked why he didn't buy the
stove at home.
The farmer replied that he could
save six dollars by buying from Sears
Roebuck & Co, or some such firm.
In the course of his remarks he stated
that he had bought previous orders,
at one time thirty dollars worth Of
groceries from the same firm. So
pleased was he in his economy that
he was advising his neighbors to do
likewise.
When the drummer had finished
his remarks there was nothing more
to be said, the farmer felt a great deal
different toward his home merchant.
In part the travelling man said: Il
once visited a stove foundry n was
shown two stoves of the same pat
tern and from the same cast, one was
priced two dollars and he other six
dollars to the wholesale trade. 1 lift
ed them, n there was no difference
in the weight. l asked why one was
worth more IMAM InS JULIET dLu Ih0
foreman informed me that the higher
priced one was cast from pure pig
iron while the cheaper one was cast
form old stove iron which woul soon
crack. Now, 1 suppose o stove
is cast from old o. iron, u you
don't think so. Perhaps you have saw
ed six dollars and perhaps not.
Don't you think" continued the
travelling man, that your dealer is
entitled to profit on goods? He does
these things which your Chicago
firm does not: pays taxes in your
county and helps build up your town,
buys your produce n carries you
over tight places. Now 1 suppose you
are an exception to the rule, but some
of the people who buy by mail owe
their home merchant for goods he
bought them when times were hard;
and he never thinks of going to his
Chicago firm for credit. If l were a
of this town 1 would not
buy your eggs, butter, etc, but would
ask you to send such stuff to your
