HERE'S ANOTHER CHAPTER
ON THE TAIL ORDER HOUSE
EVIL.
The Question Discussedby The Butter
Democrat And The Kansas
City World.

The Butler Democrat Of late date had
the following timely comment .ou the
Email order" octopus:
Nearly all the large who lesale concerns
in Kansas City and other centers Of
trade in the West have begun a
determined war on the mail order con-
Germs in Chicago, which are doing much
to demoralze business in the smaller
towns. The writer of this has always
contendcd that the man who patrCuizes
a mail order house is the loser in the
end. He may save few cents on the
cost of an article by purchasing from a
mail order house, but if he would do his
trading with home merchants they
would be enabled to carry better stocks
aud give him lower prizes. The mail
order house never gives him days
credit on II single cent--evGry deal must
be for spot cash with the orCet while in
case OF sickness or crop failure the local
de Ter is " ing to carry the accounts of
his customers for reasonable time aud f,
extend them all the accommodations
hich his capital will allow him. It
pays in all ways to trade at home.
The mail order house does not help
you TO pay your taxes or build your
churches and school houses. The local
merchant does.
The mail order house does lot sym
pathize with you or extend helping
hand when sickness and death invade
your home. The local merchant does
The mail order house makes you pay
every cent OF express and postal charges
for the delivery Of goods, The local
merchant lays them down at your door
free OF charge within reasonable dis
lance.
The mail order house will not buy
your produce at any spIice. The home
merchant takes it at all times and pay 5
you the highest price, either in cash or
trade.
10 all ways it pays to trade at home,
II would take all the space in the
Democrat to euunerate the reasons why
you should pstronizc your local merchant
ard not one line would be required to
to give reasons for buying from mail or
der houses,

or two since prominent dry goods
jobbrr said:
"Tbe mail orler business simply
traosfcrs trade from the rural districts
TO the larger trade centers without
beneiitting anyone except the mail order
HOUSES.
1.-THE largest mail order houses sell
few goods locally, in fact, the large cat
alogue concerns OF Chicago make no
pretensions 20 selling goods at home.
"The most astounding fact in connec-
ton with the mail order business is that
the country people are willing to send
their money away from home. to the
greet detriment OF their own localities;
seeking to save pittance in which they
are usually disappointed.
"It should be the aim Of every farmer
to build up u trade center as near his
farm as possible, which would add
greatly TO the value Of his possessions.
The mail order business is a detli-
ment to the country aud an evil which
will fall of its own weight, for sooner or
later the people will learn that they can
buy their goods more satisfactorily from
their local dealers

The sunday stone.

The Sunday stone" Of the oxford
museum was taken from a colliery
drain and is "A perfect calendar of sun
days and holidays. 1t is composed of
carbonate Of lime. When miners were
at work, the water running through
the drain left a black deposit colored
by coal dust. AT other times the water
ran clear. leaving the stone deposit
white. In course of time these black
and white layers formed a stone of
considerable thickness, which consti-
tutes a very complete calendar. Each
day Of work has as Its record q black
streak, followed by u white streak,
which marks the hours OF rest at night.
Wider white streaks mark the Sundays
and whole holidays, and thus II has
taken its name as the Sunday stone"
