Buy Goods al Home.

If the cash that goes out of Han
cock county every week to the cata-
logue houses was figured up it would
surprise anyone. No less than Sl4, 600
was sent out of Webster county in
one month alone and Hancock is not
any behind. That money only left
in the county would have bought more
and better goods, but you can't make
the buyers believe this for the goods
wero advertised in way that make
them appear cheap when they are not
cheap. Deal with home merchants
or at least give them chance to
bid against the foreign seller before
sending your money out of the
county. If the merchant can't COM
pete in pri ce and quality no one should
be blamed for sending away for his
goods. Britt Tribune.

THE EVENING SHADE HIGH SCHOOL.

Attention is once more called
to the fact that the Evening
Shade High School begins Mon
day, Sept. IS. While it is a fact
that, undpr our close system of
grading and classifying, pupils
may entH at any time and find
just whs41asiiSy want and need, it
is also a. fact that it is always
much better to enter at the very
beginning, SO as to be taken into
consideration in the division. of
pupils into rooms and grades, in
the selection of courses of study,
and in the organization of classes.
1t is also very important to be
present at the beginning in order
to get a fair and equal start with
the others. I would su ggest that
prospective pupils be present the
first day, the first week, even
though they may have to drop
out for a while.

Mr.. PICARD AND THE BISHOP

A Curious (Oincidence In Connection
With . New story.
George Henry Picard, whose new
story. THE Bishops Niece" has me-
with much favor from the critics. Is a
native Of Berea, O., and ffty-four
years Of age. He graduated in 1869
from Baldwin university and in 1877
tool the degree of NJ. d. from the Gin
cinnati Medical college. He found that
a literary career was more to his taste
than the practice of medicine and has
devoted himself in later years to jour-
nalism and the writing Of fiction. Mr..
Picard married Miss Mary s. Kellogg
and has one child, a boy Of fifteen, to
whom his latest work Is dedicated.
The author has a pleasant country
home at Nyack- Hudson, N. Y.
Mr.. Picard published his first story,
"a Matter Of Taste" in 1857. Other
works of fiction from his pen are "A
Mission Flower" "Old Boniface" and
"Mme. Noel" the latter published as a
leading feature in Lippincott's Maya
zine in 1900.
Because the hero Of THE Bishops
Niece is Il Methodist minister and the
heroine a Roman Catholic the publish
