COUNTRY Us. TOWN.

There is a bias or prejudice 10
some country people against the
jewellers in town. 1t is more
common and more clearly seen
where the density of the popu
latiou is greater of course, but
it's here too, some of it. 1t is
not a new thing either for the
old burghers and tradesmen of
bygone ages had this same old
prejudice to meet-they paid
for it too in the days when
might made right, frequently.
with all they possessed.
Just why some of our country
brethren will persist in holding
on 10 the erroneous idea that
town-people. as a class, have
very easy and extremely elastic
consciences in matters OF deal
ing with country FOLKS, and
therefore clear easy money
wherewith to roll in luxury and
style, has perplexed The News
man no little. Illuminating
along this line, as til. late and
kindly Bill Arp would have
said, The News man has reached
the conclusion that oar country
breathren Judge the tree by its
fruits, and therefore take it
that because town people reside
in modern houses and otherwise
make a good outside display,
that they mast have lots OF
money. We were raised among
a people that tn ought this way
indeed to a large extent it was
our view Of the case until years
ago when locating in town we
saw behind the scenes.
The truth that "alPs not gold
that glitters" is never better il
lustrated than in town. Com
petition in all lines of business
is fierce in these days; margins
are necessarily small and 10 the
everlasting scramble for trade,
the weaker ones invaribly go
broke. Both Dunn and Brad
street, leading and undisputed
mercantile authorities, give
ninety-hve per cent failures
among business men and only
twenty per cent of successes in
professional pursuits. And all
along during the Titanic strug
gle this vast per centage OF fail
ures must keep up appearances;
they must suffer this and that
tax on their fast depicting cof-

ferS; urged on by pride, false to
be sure, but no less human, they
must bold up every log the
country expects them to tote, at
least as much of it as their
business rivals do, until at last,
and frequently without warning,
they fall down, physical as
well as a financial wreck, never
to rise again. Such is life in
the business world and when we
come to know it as it really is,
we learn that it is tar more of a
tight for mere living-a month
to pouth at that-than it is to
lay by a store of golden ducats.
1t may, indeed, truthfully be
said that the majority of town
people provide for today only,
while the country people, not
content with a day or month
for which they are usually am
ply provided, fix for their chill
dren aud children's children.
AS a general thing, tn. people
of both town and country are
mutually dependent upon each
other; neither can, in modern
sense, live without the other. no
more than, as the fable relates,
the stomach could do without
the mouth; W. are all parts of
Gods plan IN the natural evolu-
ton of things pertaining to hu-
man society; aud when we come
to understand each others ways
complete fellow ship is sure to
follow.
In a natural sense, next 10
those ties which hold Us to fam
lily and relatives, should come
those which hold Us to our ma
bors, our country and our coun
ty towns. After this comes
our own particular part of the
state, then the whole State itself,
then our own group OF States
and afterwards the whole Ma
ton and so on until every son
of Adam is reached. Upon this
plan man was created and he
has not departed therefrom
unto this good day.

FAMOUS PAINTINGS.

Discovered by Accident and bought
For a Mere song.
The strange vicissitudes through
which some Of the most highly priced
and valuable pictures now preserved
in public and private galleries have
passed provides romantic reading.
Take, for instance, the case of sea-
scape by Turner.
A Captain Treharne was spending
holiday In yarmouth. CHANGING one
day to be turning over the thousand
and one articles In an old curiosity
shop, he came across dirty, ragged
painting depicting sea scene. 1t was
painted on an oak panel, was NOT
framed and was In terribly disrepu-
table condition. Prompted to buy the
derelict, the captain secured posses
sion of It for Sc. The purchaser took II
home with him. the painting was clean
ed and the varnish removed. Scrutiny
then revealed the famous Initials OF
Turner-"J. NJ. W. T."-and its author
inv was substantiated when submitted
70 an expert, who estimated its value
at $500.
More remarkable still was the his
tory surrounding Raphaeps Three
Graces." While rummaging among a
collection Of old furniture In Italy a
French art lover named Henri Raboul
happened upon it. He acquired the
nalnting for a few francs. On his re-
turn to France NJ. Raboul offered 1t 70
the Louvre for q modest 5000, but the
great Partisan art gallery refused TO
buv f. The owner finally disposed OF
n 10 an Engllshman for $3.50. In a few
wears the painting passed through d
number Of hands. Finally II was pur'
chased by the Due d'Aumale Tor Slzo''

The revelations have stirred the whole

Astounding Profits.
The New Wilmington Globe, one of
the leading local papers Of Lawrence
county, discussing this remarkable
case, points out a notable fact which
he testimony brings to light-namely,
The enormous profits of the average
saloon bar. The Globe declares:
"Kahrers place is not the largest
nor the smallest but only an average
drink shop under the guise of a hotel.
Kahrer testified that during the past
ten years he had paid to John c. Wal
lace, brother of ex-Judge William D.

Of the profits Of the business, thinking
it necessary to do this In order to re-
tain his license.
