How Mail Order Houses Win.

A representative of one of the
largest mail order houses in
Chicago, recently gave his eXpe-
rience to meeting of newspaper
men. He said that the mail order
business depends entirely upon
advertising He made one remark
that merchants should heed. He
said they took the local papers
and directed their special efforts to
communities where the merchants
are not up to date advertisers. If
he found that any line of business
in any town or city was not well
advertised, as for instance furni-
ture, he said they flooded that
territory with their literature and
always with satisfactory results
He said he believed it true that
country merchants could greatly
cripple the mail order houses if
they would advertise freely and
in the right manner He said that
every advertisement should de-
scribe minutely the articles to be
sold and quote the prices. Here
is food for thought by merchants
who feel the effects of the mail
order houses.-Iowa City Repub-

COOPERATION.

growth of the North Fork country.
1t has given us the great irrigat-
ing canals that redeem the arid
land. 1t has given US telephone
system, a water supply system
and many other splendid improve
ments. These things could not
have been done by single indl
vidual or by any number OF indi-
viduals working separately. 1t
has been necessary to work to-
gether, to make compromises, to
lay aside differences and labor
unitedly toward common end.
In the field of material things we
have learned the mighty power
of cooperative activity. Do we
realize that this same principle
will yield still greater results if
really practiced in the field of ed
ucation. 1t is fine thing 20 get
the pupils to school on time and
to furnish the necessary books
and clothing and we teachers are
very grateful that SO many par
ents cooperate with the school in
this respect, but there is higher

that pertains to the school, which
is glad when the school does well
and sorry when it fails, and which
respects and honors the school as
the organized instrument OF so
ciety for the elevation OF the
community and the race. Now

for his child. II the teacher

ing the child. Likewise every
teacher worthy OF the name has
ideals for his pupils and for the
school as a whole and it will be
OF lncalculable benefit to the
school If the parent knows some
thing of these ideals and the
plans TO be used in realizing
them.
Some children are weak along
certain lines. What can be done
to strengthen themf Others are
strong and capable and should
make leaders in society. What
can be done to develop them and
to direct their powers along right
lines? The school is already
worth a great deal more than 1t
costs but closer cooperation
would increase its value many
times. There should be such
fellowship and hearty co opera
ton among the teachers, parents
and pupils that all destructive
criticism is dropped and each helps
the other. But we cannot have
this until we know each other
better. We must be acquainted
with each others needs, ideals
and temptations. We hope to
have some educational meetings in
the near future which will bring
about a better understanding In
the meantime let every teacher
acquaInt himself with the com
munity in general and his pupils
in particular and let every patron
determine to know the teacher OF
his child, and every pupil purpose
in his heart to make the most OF
himself so that he may be OF the
greatest service to the community
in which he lives.

Gus pipe-which must certainly have
had sympathetic leanings in the
direction of the hard-pressed Confed-
eracy. Judging by its quick betrayal
of the escaping Federal-accompan-
led John in his hasty descent, it may
be safely assumed that the advent of
the soldier and tinware upon the roof
of the colombo was marked by suf-
ficient racket to arouse the Seven
Sleepers, or go far toward awakening
the dead.
Thus our hero larded on the lower
roof in q position about as sprawling
as that of a frog-his one immediate
thought being to prevent himself from
continuing the fall as far as the
ground.
The clatter would, of course, arouse
every soul about the plantation.
This was a foregone conclusion.
He grimly admitted that his chances
to escape just then were slim indeed.
Loud outcries could be heard-men
shouted to one another-lights flash

house. and the excitement was com

1t was time for action, since
delay would bring his enemies on the
scene, and render all chances of es-
cape hopeless.
So over he went, not in mad
leap, but by hanging with his hands
and lowering his body managing to
shorten his fall.
Here again fortune played him a
bad turn.
It CHANGED that John had thrown
himself over just above a door leading
from the colonnade, and that at the
instant he released his hold above,
this flew open, giving egress to the
doughty planter, half-dressed and
wholly alarmed. for the dreadful con
fusion which had aroused him from
slumber could have but one meaning
the hostile army had arrived and
was engaged in bombardng the castle.

Colonel John was not In q condition

strength might guarantee, since his

in all probability he would in due
time have overcome the squire, but
this chance was not given.
Attracted by the bull-like roars of
the gentleman planter, his overseer
and some of the help fastened to the
spot.
Colonel John was quickly pounced
upon and tightly held.
The scene was very impressive as
the squire arose to his feet, feeling

not been broken by the tremendous

Another moment and he stood erect
one leg was thrown up over the cop
ing-a muscular tension of the ath-
letic frame, and the thing had been
accomplished.
He lay quietly upon the roof for
little time to recover his breath before
venturing upon a voyage of eXplora-
ton.
The battle was not yet won-no
one knew this better than Colonel
John.
The first act of the soldier was to
allow himself to slide down the slop-
ing roof until he rested his feet in the
gutter.
This gave him an opportunity to re
lieve the strain upon his arms.
Surely he must discover some
means of reaching the ground in
safety-be it waterpipe or light
ming rod he cared little, since the
opportunity was what he sought.
BY degrees the colonel made his
way from one end of the roof to the
other.
Not single tree offered a friendly
limb.
True, he did discover tin water
spout at the center but here would
be considerable risk in attempting
descent through such means.
Rather than climb the slope of the
roof and descend again on the other
side he resolved to trust his weight
to the waterpipe.
With his knees he clutched the
tin. and presently was hanging there
half way down to the shed,
Serious doubts as TO the stability
of the pipe now assumed leading
place in his mind but he had gone too
far to retreat.
Alas! his fears proved too well
grounded.
The wretched fabric gave way the
very instant his full weight rested
upon it.
Having no hold above, below, it
was natural that the doughty warrior
should make a much more eNpedi-
tious descent than he had calculated
on in his most sanguine moments.
AS a goodly portion of the treacher'
