Facts About the Mail Order
Question.

The following is from the La
mar, Mo-, Democrat:
A dry goods merchant was
starting down town when his wife
reminded him of his most i'm
portant duty during the day:
Now, my dear, be sure and don't
forget to send to the city for that
new Stanhope, so we can have it
by Sunday. You know our old
buggy is getting so it's not fit to
be- seem"
Just a few blocks away the
merchant who handled vehicles
and implements was sitting at
breakfast with his family. The
conversation drifted around to
the near approach of school.
"And that reminds me, John"
said the lady who sat at the head
of the table, II must be going to
the city not later than mex.
week. I must get goods for the
children's school clothes and then
l want to see about fall suit for
myself, and | think while I'm up
there, that perhaps I'd better see
something about a new rug for
the parlor and some lace curtains
for the front windows"
An hour or two later the towns
leading grocer stepped into the
bank to buy a draft, which he
was going to send to firm in
St. Louis for a swell bedroom
suite his wife had ordered about
a week before. "How's busi-
ness?" asked the banker. "Oh,
not so very good" replied the su-
gar and coffee merchant resign
edly. Things are a little dull
just now"
Before the banker finished
writing the draft dapper young
man with a grip stepped in and
asked how everybody was. The
banker seemed glad to see him.
He was the representative of
big printing establishments in an
-sether states He and the Banker
chated pleasantly for few min
utes, after which the young man
inquired casually of his friend
behind the window if he wanted
anything. We'll, yes," replied
the other good naturedly, II be-
lieve do. Print us $4,000
checks, 500 drafts and a couple
of thousand letter heads" The
young man thanked him cordial
ly for the order and hustled out.
That night the local business
men of the town had meeting
in the town hall to discuss the
growing mail order evil. All of
the gentlemen mentioned in this
narrative delivered short talks.
They all agreed that the farmers
were guilty of treason to their
home merchants when they per-
sisted in buying their goods of
mail order houses, and the meet
ing closed by adopting strong res
olutions against trading away
from home.

 The first find of two diamonds was made several months ago by John Wesley Huddleston on his farm He sent them to Charles H. Stint. jew eler and diamond merchant of Little Rock. They were pronounced genuine, first by him. afterwards by the dia- mond experts of St. Louis and New York and finally by Dr. George F..

Pressing Need
For StTiCteT
Amateur Code
Prominent Athletes Pledged
to Secure Passage of
Revised Rules.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-The general
criticism which mas been provoked by
the wholesale protests Of athletes BY
the New York Athletic Club and the
Irish-American Club, the evidence CT
evasion of rules that has been presented
to the registration committee on the
hearing of the various protests. and the
pressing need for the adoption OF stricter
rules that shall be enforced 10 prevent
the abuses that have crept into the ANA
teur sport. have aroused followers OF
the games generally.
The legislation committee OF the ANA
teur Athletic Union promises to present
strict rules for adoption to correct the
abuses, and all the most prominent men
in athletics are pIedging themselves to
secure the passage OF the most stringent
regulations.
The revelations of the registration
committee hearings have amazed those
who we're unfamiliar with the sort Of
campaign the leading clubs were en-
gagged in to secure talent from all parts
OF the country.
The barefaced audacity with which the
negotiations have been conducted aP-
paIed them. The most fragrant case,
when illustrated all the more conspicu-
GUS evils. is that of +. H. Porter. the
former Cornell high jumper. Yet in
their blind partisanship the members OF
the Irish-American Club profess to feel
that Porter was unjustly disqualified.
It appears that Porter was elected to
membership by Doth the Irish-American
and New York clubs, made application
TO Join both, was solicited to represent
each in the Metropolitan Championships,
though It was well understood that he
had no right whatever TO represent
either. Porter's own letters fully prove
this assertion, and his is a typical case,
representative Of numerous others now
under investigation.

William Gerst. mulu-millionaire
brewer OF Tennessee. He is wealthy in
his own right, and has raced a string
Of horses at New Orleans aud all along
the racing circuit to Empire City.
The rejection Of the Hole horses was
regarded as significant by owners who
have raced at Empire City in the face
or August Belmonts suggestion that he
thought the owners who raced at the
local tracks should stick by the Jockey
Club, and leave the Empire City track

Ever since the Empire meeting began
reports have been rife that the racing
association would retaliate against
those owners who deserted the fold and
went over to Mr.. Buffers track by re-
fusing stall room TO their horses when
racing was resumed on Long Island.
The action of the COney Island club
against Holes horses was regarded by
Empire City turfmen as the elimination
OF the threatened refusal.
A member OF the Coney Island Jockey
Club denied any intention on the part
OF the club to boycott Empire City
horses. IF stall room at the Sleeps
