TWO BIG QUESTIONS
THE MORAL OBLIGATION" AND
aDoEs 1T PAY?"
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED
An Honest Answer to These Will
Keep the Trade with the
Home Merchant Every
Time.

Copyrighted, 1906, by Alfred C. Clark.)
When the thrifty person or his wife
sits down for the first time-or any
time-with the mail order catalogue
and its temptations, there are two,
and only two, points to be taken into
consideration.
One of these is moral obligation,
and the chances are that that will be
dismissed as sentimental nonsense.
The other is-Will it pay? and to
that the thrifty person will be in
clined to interpret an answer from the
prices quoted in black-faced figures in
the catalogue.
Neither of these questions should
be lightly dismissed. Moral obliga-
ton is not sentimental nonsense, and
black-faced figures sometimes lie.
The duty a mar owes to his own
community and his obligation to trade
at home are so often reiterated in the
country press that, possibly like some
of the preaching, it has a tendency
to HARDEN the hearts of the sinners.
Nevertheless, the principle is true as
gospel.
What has your neighboring town
given you, Mr.. Farmer? A market Tor
your produce. What has made rs to
so per cent. of the present value Of

Minister Meant Well, but He Made
Bad Impression on Lunatic.

A certain minister made a visit to
an insane asylum. He got in CONVEX
sation with one Of the patients, and
not to rufle him, agreed with all he
said. The following conversation re-
suited:
Don't you think 1t dreadful" said
the patient, that Senator Cameron
should have been SO murderously
sandbagged by that insane division
worker just as he was about to vote
on election day."
Yes" replied the clergyman; 1T
was indeed regrettable."
"And ex-President Cleveland, have
they found the crazy anarchist who
stabbed him at the chamber of com
merce banquet the other night?"
Il believe they have replied the
now somewhat startled minister.
"And Steel King Schwab, has he re-
covered from the injuries he sustained
from being thrown from the top Of
Mont Blanc by that demented guide?"
AT last accounts I believe he was
progressing ~favorably toward recov-
ery,' answered the divine meekly.
The lunatio stopped and eyed the min,
lister. You're 4 minister, aren't your
