COSTLY LESSONS IN ECONOMY.
1t Is Not Always a Matter Of Saving to
Buy Cheap Goods.

Almost every rural community has
within it's confines people who have
paid we'll for experience and have
learned costly lessons as to buying
Of goods.
Not long ago in western town a
citizen desired to buy kitchen range.
A visit to the local hardware store
was made and the prices asked by
the dealer were not satisfactory to
the prospective purchaser, who by.
the way had his attention attracted
by the advertising in his farm paper
of "a bargain" in a kitchen range,
The range was advertised as equal to
those costing twice the money at the
local store" The citizen sent
money order to the concern advertis-
ing the range, and in the course of a
few weeks he was notified by the rail-
road agent that the range had ar
rived. In removing it from the sta
tion to the farm house, in some mex
pla1nable way part of it was broken.
The broken pieces were taken to the
local hardware store but could not be
duplicated. A letter was written to
the range company and in the course
Of a few weeks a duplicate of the
broken part was received, but it was
discovered that it would not fit the
stove. 1t had to be returned and a
few weeks later another piece was
sent; then the stove was placed in
use. Within six months the top had
become so warped that it interfered
seriously with the drafts At the end
of the year the stove was burned out
and ready for the junk heap. The
purchaser of the stove then deter
mined that he would secure another
range from the home dealer. He paid
the home dealer the price he was
asked which was about one-third more
than the poor range cost, and after
few years the range was found to be
as good almost as when first bought.
This is one illustration of how econ.
omy wrongfully practiced is ex-
pensive. 1t is not always wise to
seek the bargain counters when good
articles are wanted. Neither is it a
wise idea to buy goods before you
have an opportunity to carefully ex-
anime them and determine their
value.

Useful Coffee Coaf

The mission of the coffee coat 10 to
give one garment for dressy wear
In the house. And the woman who is
clever will provide herself with half
a dozen to wear in case of emergency.
In the summer time such coat is
positively priceless, for it can be worn
with ones old waists and odd skirts,
and it has the merit Of always looking
dressed up. In case of a sudden call
one can dash into ones coffee coat
and come into the drawing-room look
ing cool and well dressed. So much
for the famous little coat, which is
holding the whole of fashionable Lon
don in its spell.

Big Black Bow Is "Parisian,"

A recent cry from Paris proclaims
the newness and smartness of large
black taffeta bows on millinery, these
bows monopolizing the place of flow
ers and feathers. A white chip hat,
the brim turning slightly up from
the face in front and dropping in the
approved form at the back, had the
brim bound with black ribbon velvet,
and carried enormous massed bows of
rich black taffeta ribbon as its sole
exterior decoration, tenderly-tinted
pink rose giving q gracious touch of
color beneath the brim at the. left
side. *, i. ~ III q .z5 Z' -

TRAPPING RABBITS.
Why the Proposition of store-keeper
Didn't Pan Out.

There are lots of rabbits in the
woods back of the rye field, and I've
got six box-traps in the barn. If you'll
see to 'em every morning We'll set the
traps now" This proposition made
to a 14-year-old boy, says Mr.. Fred
Mather, the author of Men l Have
Fished WITH" seemed a fine PROPOSE
tion, and the boy instantly agreed. He
was to put the captured rabbits in a
bag, and the man who owned the traps
was to take care of them. The boy
tells the story: l.
''The next night was clear and crisp,
and oh! how cold that morning was!
The first trap was unsprung. The Sec
ond actually held rabbit. There was
let the trap down, and for few mo-
ments enjoyed my triumph. 1 was
mighty trapper! -
II carefully adjusted the bag over
the trap, and then opened it, There
was thud in the bottom of the bag,
and then a glimpse Of something gray
and sound of Zip! zip!' and if that
really was a rabbit it was gone. )
''The third trap held a rabbit, and
with the last failure in mind, great
care was taken in arranging the bag,
but somehow the same thing happened
again. The next two traps we're empty
and the sixth was sprung s
Remembering what Garry had said
about a rabbit not biting, l put in a
hand and brought the animal out some
way, memory fails to record how, but
it does bring back the pitiful cries
that rang through the woods. But l
hardened my heart and dropped the
game in the bag, and started for home
with my prize, in triumph not unmixed
with other feelings.
After pondering for a while on the
escape of the other two rabbits, the
recollection of those pitiful cries came
up in full force. Then I seemed to
realize that they came from a poor,
terrified and harmless thing that was
taking to be killed without the excite
ment of the hunt.
Il peeped into the bag. Two large
eyes and a trembling form were in
the corner. Somehow the grip on the
mouth of the bag was loosened, the
bottom was turned up, and a white
lump of cotton in field Of gray went
bobbing off into the brush :.
when I entered Tom, Simmonds'
store, I said to Garry: Here's your
bag. l haven't got any rabbits, and
don't want any,"

Mr. WEAVER's MANIFESTO

Hon. Claude Weaver Of Pauls Val
ley who aspires to be the first cong
ressman from the fifth district, is
out in flaming Philippe against Hon
Reford Bond who is possessed Of the
same laudable ambition.
Mr.. Weaver seeks to hold Mr Boni
responsible for the action Of the con-
gnessional committee at Hobart in
its decision to nominate by convention
instead Of BY primary, and he avows
his purpose to fight to the last ditch.
But to put it in familiar phrase,
Mr.. Weaver is barking up the wrong
limb. Mr.. Bond is now and always
has been in favor Of the primary sys-
tem. Neither Mr. Weaver OF any 9TH
er man can get into any argument
with him on this question for he is as
strong an advocate Of the primary as
any man. Mr.. Weaver is in danger Of
making himself ludicrous in trying to
place the onus Of carrying the CON
vention on Mr.. Bond.
The fact is that Mr.. Weaver was
chiefly instrumental in having the
meeting called at Hobart and the Com
mittee that met there, after full dele
beration decided that convention
was best under the circumstances.
Mr. Bond, like every other good demo-
crat, had nothing to do but to yield
to the wisdom Of party counsel. He
was willing to submit his claim to the
democracy Of the district in any man
er that the constitution authorities Of
the party might decree. z
Mr.. Weaver throws down the gaun-
let and challenges Mr.. Bond to jbint
debate and Mr. Bond promptly accepts
the chalenge--to debate the issues
contained in the respective platforms
Of the two candidates, not the issues
0f primary versus convention on
which he and his opponent are agreed.
It is conceded that Mr.. Bond is one
Of the strongest men in the race His
abilities and his high character have
won him hosts Of adherents through.
out the district. He has tha unan-
imous support Of his home people who
admire him and trust him. He will
continue to make his fight on his own
merits ard the polices for which he
stands. On these he is impregnable
and he does well to avoid being drawn
oH into any side issues by those who
fear his strength.
