Farmer Scores Catalogue Houses.

A Minnesota farmer, according to
Farm Implement News, wrote the fol-
lowing pointed letter to Chicago
catalogue house from which he re-
ceived circulars:
Gentlemen: I have your favor
dated April 2o, 1905, relative to a
catalogue which you appear to think
was sent me by you some Tins ago,
and which you intimate that you should
be obliged to recall.
Now, relating to this matter.
would say that I have never received
catalogue from your house. Some
time ago I received a letter from you
requesting me to send IS cents or an
order for 81 worth of goods, i'll consid-
Grafton. You also agreed to send the
catalogue on approval, subject to a
ten days examination before same
should be accepted by me, or paid for
as above. This latter proposition Of
yours was evidently only bluff, be-
cause the catalogue has never been
sent me, and I am therefore some
what surprised at the contents OF
your more recent favor, soliciting an
order from me.
Personally, I have never had any
cause to regret the fact that l had not
received your catalogue, because I do
not believe in buying my goods in
Chicago, distant some three hundred
miles from home. l can get my goods
within one hours drive OF my farm
and enjoy the satisfaction of inspect
ing these goods, which privilege is
worth more than the slight difference
in cost. Furthermore, if I send to
you for goods you expect the cash to
accompany the order, or you refuse to
send the goods, and I am therefore
paying for goods that l have not had
an opportunity to see, which to any
sahe man is rather an unbusinesslike
proposition.
Here at home 1 am able to obtain
goods from my home dealer on several
months time, often without payment
of cent of interest, which no cata-
logue house I know of will do.
I am satisfied that if our home
dealers could do a strictly cash bust
ness as you do, they could sell goods
as cheap as any catalogue house on
earth. We who are obliged at times
to ask for more or less credit would
certainly be very unreasonable to give
that portion Of our trade only to our
merchants and send what cash we do
have to codcern like yours, who are Of
no benefit whatever to our community.
We should be willing, in fact, to pay
little more for what we have to buy
when we must realize that the differ
ence in the price is simply our just
portion towards building up our com
munity and maintaining the thriving
cities and towns that have made our
life worth living, and most decidedly
increased the value Of our farm lands.

is the saving from death, of the baby
girl of George A. Eyle', Cumberland

months, our little girl was in declining

two physicians gave her up. We were

Concerning the alleged resemblance
between Christianity and Mohammed-
anism Rev. Napier Malcolm, In Five
Years In a Persian Town." says:
There are really not many resem-
blances to note. An oficer of Indian
troops replied to Mussuiman's sug-
gestion that there were resemblancAs
between the two religions, There Ii
hardly single practical point where
Mussuimans and Christians are not en-
tirely at issue whereupon the Mus
sulman said: 'Sahib, you have read
your Bible and have also read the
Koran. always make that remark to
Christians. made it to padre the
other day, and they almost always say.
Very true. Accommodation has q
great deal in common with Chris

Fairy Rings.


Probably We have all seen, In the
fields or OH the edge of the woods, THAT
circle called the fairy ring. Before
fairy talk came to be doubted, it was
firmly believed these rings were the
dancing ground of the fairies. In the
moonlight the sprites danced, wearing
down the grass under their feet-at
least so our grandfathers said, but we
must take sciences simple explanation
Of 1t. A fungus plant will ysoon ex-
haust all the fungus food from the soil
beneath it, so that only the spores
which fall outside this barren spotIwill
take root and flourish. So the ring is
always widening outward, forming a
perfect circle, unless something inter.
feres with 1t. The rings are abundant
In wet weather
