We were standing 1t the counter of
a sumptuous barroom in San Antonio
where Barclay and the two English
men in the party had met by appoint
ment. Barclay had a ranch 10 sell

the bargain.
The bartender put out four glasses
and a bottle of liquor in anticipation
of our order and the two Englishmen
and myself poured a good three fing-

The Englishmen glanced at each

Barclay besitatingly poured out a
good sized drink and raised it to his
lips and turned toward the English
men who smiled their approval.
A strange thing then occurred. Bar
clay took off his hat and looked into
the crown of it for a minute and then
Set the untouched liquor on the bar
again. Gentlemen" he said, You'll
have to excuse me, but l cannot drink
liquor" Todd, one of the Englishmen,
banged his fist down on the bar and
exclaimed:-'If you can't drink with
us, you can't trade with us--thats
ALL"
Barclay turned to him, his face
very white, and said slowly:-"Then
the deal is off gentlemen"
Presently Barclay said, "Ill admit

courtroom upon hearing the verdict.
That's nice stuff for a man to read

TRIUMPH OF THE RURAL LIFE.
And the one thing which viii make
1t more easily possible, which win tend
the most to draw the city dweller 10
the country and relieve the lonesome
ness and isolation of the farm life, are
the good roads, for which a great move
ment is now gathering force. and the
electric railway systems which are
threading the rural districts in every
thickly settled farming section of our
country.
All these are forerunners of the final
triumph of the rural life and of a new
era in this country when "Men-mak-
ing and not Money making will be
our national slogan.
"A time like this demands strong men
Great hearts. true faith and ready hands;
Men whom the lust Of office does not kin.

he doubtless believes he is doing you a
favor, whereas he is really deriving
you of the most wholesome and deli
cious beverage that you a buy, some
thing better than anything else he can
sell you for the price. The sales of
Arbuckles' ARIOSA Coffee exceed the
sales of all other package coffees in the
United States combined, and the bust
ness of Arbuckle Bros. exceeds that of
the four next largest concerns in the
world, simply because the public ac-
tually receives better coffee for their
money in Arbuckles' ARIoSA than
they can buy in any other way.

If he will not sell Arbuckles'
ARIOSA write to us. We will supply
you direct. You will get greater value
for your money-a better pound of cof-
fee-ful1 weight-than he can sell you
under any other name. He cannot sell
Arbuckles' ARIOsA loose, by the
pound out of a bin or bag, because we
supply it only in sealed packages that
you can identify every time, which pro-
tect the coffee from the dust and i'm
purities that loose coffee absorbs-and
insure full weight. Coffee exposed to
the air loses its favor, strength and
purity. You cannot tell where it came
from-neither can the grocer-he may
think he knows-but he doesn't, and
all you can ever know is the price
ticket. 1t is worth remembering that
outward appearance is no Indication of

Arbuckles' ARIOSA Coffee is good
to drink-it quenches the thirst and
tastes good. Most people need it. 1t
aids digestion, increases the power and
ambition to work and it makes one feel
like doing things-no after depression.
