Ten Commandments.

1. Thou shall not go away from
home to do thy trading, nor thy
son, nor thy daughter.
2. Thou shalt patronize thy
home merchants, thy home prin-
ter, for yea, verify doth thy home
printer spread over the tidings of
thy goodness and many will pat
ronize the.
3. Thou shalt employ thy home
mechanics that they shall not be
driven from their homes to find
bread for their little ones.
A. Thou shalt not ask for cred
it as goods cost much and mer-
chants brain is burdened with
bills. His children clamor daily
for bread and his wife abideth at
home for lack of raiment as
adorneth her sister. Blessed,
yea, thrice blessed, is the man
who pays cash.
5. Thou shalt not ask for re-
duced prices on thine influence,
for guile is in thine heart and the
merchant readeth it like an open
book. He laugheth thee to scorn
and shouteth to his clerks, ha! ha!
6. Thou shalt do whatever
lieth in thy power to encourage
and promote the welfare of thine
own town and thine own people.
7. Thou shalt not suffer voice
of pride to overcome thee and if
other towns entice the consent

ceived.
8. Thou shalt spend thy earn
ings at home and they may return
from whence they came and give
nourishment to such as may come
after thee.
9. Thou shalt not bear false
witness against the town wherein
thou dwellest, but speak well Of
it to all men.
10. Thou shalt keep these COM
mandments and teach them to
thy children, even unto the third
or fourth generations, that they
may be made to flourish and grow
in plenty when thou art laid to
rest with thy fathers. Elk.

WHEN THE BREEZE
WENT TO SLEEP

Here is bit of poetry by Spokane
boy-Cleveland Sherman, formerly of
this city, but now of Moscow, Idaho:
The rain was gently falling,
On the pane it could be heard,
And the breeze was softly signing,
But it never said word.
Still the rain kept up its patter
And the breeze its doleful sigh,
And the two did say together:
We're so lonesome we will die.
The rainclouds heard the whisper;
The windclouds heard the moan,
And they said: Lets run off quickly
And leave these babes alone"
So, over the hills they scampered.
Cross prairie and through the wood,
While the rain and breeze, like children,
Went as softly to sleep as they could.
And the stars in the heavens glittered
When they saw the children asleep,
And watched all through the nighttime
Like shepherds watching the sheep.
But they left the sleeping children
When the dawn began to break;
For the sun rose clear and smiling,
The stars place to take.
Its first ray kissed the dewdrop,
The opaled gem was gone;
But it never Weakened the other babe,
Just let it sleep on and on.

A Weiohtv Reason.

The other afternoon. while talking
to his gardener, a certain Yorkshire
gentleman expressed the opinion that
the ivy on the end of the porch was ''in
a bad way" Indeed, he was half in
clined to pull it down. He subsequent
ly mentioned the matter to his wife,
who, however, was strongly against
such course.
"Ah, John," remarked the gentle
man, on meeting his gardener the next
morning, "about that ivy. Mrs. X
prefers to let it remain as it is. She
advances many good reasons why it
should not be destroyed"
''Well, sir,"' replied John, "the lady's
entitled to her. opinion, of course, but
that ivy ought to come down, y'know."
perhaps it should"
"And I've got good reason or two
for saying so," went on the gardener
"In the first place, it's reg'lar heye-
sore; in the second. it harbors spar
rows, and sparrows is a noosance; in
the third, you had a sort of an Idea it
ought to come down yesterday; and
in the fourth-well, I cut it down last
night, sir"
Mr.. x appreciated the Fourth
reason" far better than did his wife.

Bess, the pretty one, just home from
college, lounged back in an arm chair,
her white hands clasped behind her
head and her amused eyes on her
elder sister. Rachel, the plain one;
sat in the midst of drifts of white,
busily sewing. And there was that
in the sewing. or in the cloth, or in
what it all meant, that had turned
Rachel's plainness into something
nearly akin to beauty.
RACHEL" called voice up the
stairway. "Oh. Rachel! Come down
a moment and help me with this side
board. l can't move it alone"
The girl emerged, smiling, from
among the snowy drifts, and ran down
stairs, light of foot and of heart. She
came back presently, washed her
hands and set to work again.
''Sister!" shouted boyish voice
from the gallery, lend me another
spool of that coarse thread. I've got
the kite out ever SO far, and my cords
out"
She arose again and went out; and
Bess heard her talking merrily as she
tied the thread to the cord Danny
held. When she returned and sat
down at the machine, there was not
a ripple of impatience on her content.

How can you stand it?" asked
Bess, still more amused. Il have kept

II don't get much time to sew"
Rachel answered, blushing little.
But, then, haven't many things to
make, and it won't take so long. And
they'll all miss me good deal. I
must do what l can for them, while I
am here"
"It's the most ridiculous thing" said
Bess, thoughtfully, that you should
be thinking of marrying! Somehow.

how you did it, Miss Rachel Brand"
Rachel blushed more and more.

at retail.
The artistic woman painted the
faces, and the companion did the more
practical part of forming the bodies
and making the costumes of the dolls.
The business grew. The price of the
dolls rose in proportion to the elabo-
rate makeup of the doll, till some CT

The young women no longer could
do all the work themselves. They be-

caps and socks to be made by the

not felt pain since. My little girl
complained of her back. She used
about one-half box of Dodd's Kidney

It is thousands of statements like
the above that show Dodd's Kidney

Kentuckian's War Mementos.

In September, 1862, w. B. Crabb
was in New Castle, member of a
snail band of Confederate soldiers.
There were also some Federal sol
diers in town, nearly all negroes, and
little scrap took place. A negro
deliberately fred at Mr.. Crabb as he
sat on his horse hundred yards
away.
The bullet struck large metal
buckle on pair of suspenders, or
braces, worn by Mr.. Crabb, and buried
tho buckle, along with itself, deep
in his breast above the heart. The
wounded man rode over to spot near
where S. J. Douthitt now lives, where
the surgeon took hold Of the suspend
er above and below the buckle and
jerked both buckle and bullet out.
Mr.. Crabb put the bullet into a
leather gir die, or pouch, which he
wore about his waist next the skin
to carry some gold coin in, and thus
kept the ball and the money until
the end of the war. There was $40 in
gold. He retains $50 of the money
and the battered missile of lead to
this day, as mementos of his war ex-
perience.-Henry County Local.
