the less money there is left in your
community the sooner we can put
your local merchants out of business
and charge you any price we please.
Eighth-You shall look often upon
the beautiful pictures in our cata-

need of the goods, otherwise you
might have some money left to buy
necessary goods of your local mer-
chants.
Ninth--You shall have the mechan-

the money for his labor to us for new

our influence.
Tenth-You shall, in case of acct

local dealers for aid and credit, as
we do not know you.
The secret of how it has been that
some of the eastern mall order houses
which have done business in Montana
and elsewhere were able to underseil
local merchants en- some lines of gro
ceries has been revealed. The revela-
ton has come about through the oper-
alton of the national pure food law.
One of the big mail order concerns,
which has done a great business in
Montana, makes the announcement
that it has closed its grocery depart
ment, giving in circular it's reason
for doing SO because its maintenance
has been made impracticable by the
pure food laws just passed by con-
gress."
If that is not an acknowledgment
that the consumers have been fur
nished with adulterated food stuffs
when they ordered groceries, then the
English language is not understand
able By selling the stun that has
been put under the ban because of its
impurity, the mail order concerns
have been able to undersell the local
merchan&s living hundreds Of miles
away from the great e.nters Of sup
ply.
In carrying on this trade in impure
goods, the mail order houses have
done the greatest injury to the con-
sumer. While the local merchant has
lost some trade, he has had at least

q part Of the business Of the ranc1t
man and miner in baj vicinity, but
the consumer, VINO has been caught
by the Cheap" prices offered, has
not got what he has been paying for
by long way, and there is no way
for him tU get even.
AS it has proved with the groceries
sent out by the eastern mail order
houses, so it is with the other lines
they work off in Montana. The sad.
dies and harness offered at phenom-
enally low prices, the buggies and
wagons, at prices which seem almost
like giving the vehicles away, the
kitchen utensils which are priced in
the voluminous catalogues at figures
that indicate the local merchants are
highway robbers, the dry goods that
are offered at such infinitesimal cost
as to compel the ordinary woman to
believe the mail order man is public
benefactor, all of these eastern mail
order house offerings are on par
with the proved quality Of the gro
ceries they have been selling-fraudu.
lent and put out to sell and not for
service. The confession on the gro
ceries should make the eastern mail
order house patrons think before they
send off another order for cheap
goods. Helena Record.

The Money End.

Maurice Grau told me-" said com.
poser, that he owed his success to
the fact that he produced opera solely
from the business, never from the
musical or artistic standpoint.
Frank, wasn't it? Most men in his
line use his method, but hypocritical-
ly pretend to be artists.
Poor Grau in our discussion said
that he went at music as certain
perfumer went at perfumes-not with
the primary idea of producing some
thing excellent, but with the primary
idea of producing something novel,
bizarre, prof table.
This perIumer, he explained, said
one day gayly to friend:
'Hurrah! I'm doing pushing busi-
ness. I'll lie rich in a year. I've in
vented rev perfume that smells
just like gasoline
But said his friend, but

it tickles their vanity. They go about

Tree Planting by Squirrels.

Those who have argued that in.
stinct that will lead a squirred to bury
nut for winter use will lead him to
find it when the winter comes may
find some facts in the Statehouse
yard that will cause his faith in this
statement to shake little.
Let him examine the lawn on each
side of the walk leading from the gate
at the northwest corner Of the
grounds, where most of the visitors
feed the squirrels, and he will see that
the grass is thickly studded with the
shoots of many kinds of nut trees and
bushes, each one springing from q
buried nut that the squirrel which bur.
led it did not dig up. One who sees
this must credit the squirrel with hav.
ing much to do with the planting OF
our forests.

THE STORY.

THE news of the defeat of the army
of Israel in the preliminary skir-
mish with the Philistines had reached
Shiloh where the Tabernacle or Tenn
pie Of the Lord, as it was called,
stood, long before the messengers who
had been sent after the ark arrived, so
that when they came with breathless
haste to the city they were imme-
diately surrounded by an excited
throng who were eager to hear the
latest report. But without making
reply to the flood of questions, save
to say that Israel was preparing to
renew the conflict, they pressed on
toward the temple.
1--WE would see Hophni and Phine-
has," they demanded, impatiently of
the Levites in attendance, and in
their eagerness pressed on within the
entrance to the court which was be-
fore the temple.
Impressed by the evident urgency of
the case, the Levites turned and quick
ly disappeared within the doors of the
temple, while the throng without the
temple courtway, by that quick intui-
tioE so marked in crowd at times.
surnised the errand of the messengers
and began to cry:
The ark of the Lord. The ark of
the Lord! Let it go forth to give vic
tory to Israel"
The shouting grew louder and loud
er, and reached at last the place
where Samuel was engaged in his
morning duties. Startled and puzzled
TO know the meaning of the tumult
he came running forth and entered
the court of the temple just as Phine-
has and Hophni accompanied by the
messengers appeared, and just behind
them were two of the Levites bear
Ing the ark.
The words which the crowd were
shouting and the sight which his
quick glance took in, revealed to Sam
uel the situation.
Commit no such folly!" he shouted.
"Only disaster can come from such
sacrilege."
"Art thou the high priest or the son
of the high priest that thou should
dictate to u.s." angrily demanded
Hophni.
But consider what thou doest, for
the Lord cannot be with thee in this
thing" implored Samuel, standing his
ground.
Hophni and Phinehas hesitated for
an instant and then encouraged by
the continued shouting of the people,

The ten commandments as revised
to fit the mail order catalogue house

First-You shall sell your farm
products for cash whenever you can,
but not to us; we do not buy from
you.
Second-You shall believe our
statements and buy all you need
from us because we want to be good
to you, although we are not person
ally acquainted with you.
Third-You shall send the money
in advance to give US the chance to
get the goods from the factory with
your money; meanwhile you will
have to wait patiently a few weeks
because that is our business method.
Fourth-You shall apply to your
nearest city to aid you in building
good roads so you may conveniently
get the goods from the depot which
you buy from us, for we do not build
country roads.
F'ifth-You shall buy church bells
and interior fixtures from us and for
ward the money in advance, for that
is our business method, and you shall
collect from the business men in
your vicinity as much money as you
can for the benefit of your churches.
Although we get more money from
you than they do, still it is against
our rules to donate money for build
ing country churches.
Sixth-You shall buy your tools
from us and be your own mechanic,
in order to drive the mechanics from
your vicinity, for we wish it so.
Seventh-You shall induce your

Search for Old Cannon.

A tradition still survives in Luzerne
county, Pa, that when Gen. John
Sullivan marched through that region
in 1779 on his expedition against the
Indian confederacy Of central New
York, he buried some superfuous
brass cannon along the Wilkes-Barre
mountain. To search for these revoIu.
tionary relics a number of the best
known citizens of Ashley have formed
themselves into an historical society.
One recent Sunday the members
secured the mountain in the vicinity
of Laurel Run, but could find no relics
except a few Indian arrow points.

SERMONETTE,

Y
( A corrupt priesthood, a low
state of spiritual life in the ma
} ton, which encouraged super
( stieious regard for the outward
: signs and symbols of religion,
led the children of Israel into
) the sacriEe9e of bringing the ark
} forth from the holy of holes and
: using 1t as a fetish to give
them victory over their enemies.
They had seen the heather ma
I tions about carrying their gods
into battle. Why should they
not find in their religion similar
encouragement and help? And
: so the army of Israel, defeated
z in the preliminary skirmish with
) the Philistines, takes up the cry,
! saying: "Let US fetch the ark of
the covenant of the Lord out of
: Shiloh unto US, it may save US
out of the hand of our enemies"
3 This they did, the corrupt and
! base sons of Eli giving ready
D consent and going with the ark
( into battle. And what follows
I is but the inevitable fruitage of
) this long series of sinful acts.
! Defeat and destruction for the
. army of Israel, loss of the sacred
1 emblem of Gods presence in
their midst, and bitter servitude
, to their victorious foe.
: What lessons may be drawn
z from this dark period, from
( these tragic events. First OF all,
! we must recognize the immi-
} nence of God in all the affairs
Z of life. Though he was forgot
z ten and dishonored he was
moving in human events to the
! vindicatioN of his name and the
. punishment of sin. We here find
( but the fuIfiIiment of what God
said would come to pass. Gods
D warning had come to the house
I of Eli, but regardless of the mes
sage, the sons of Eli and the ma
< tion of Israel plunge to their
ruin. We may forget God, we
D may be living in sin and yet
strive to maintain an outward
z form of religious observance, un-
< til at last the mere ceremonial
1 becomes the fetish, the charm,
D the taIisman which we think
3 will give US help and deIiverance
Z In the dark hour. In that fatal
hour of battle Israel discovered
! that their help did not lie in
that mere creation of wood and
I gold; that its presence with
them, and the careful observance
: of their forms of worship did not
I insure them victory. And SO is
D il ever true. Religion is a thing
{ apart from things and outward
Z forms and ceremonies. ReIi-
\ gion Is thing of the heart, and
the heart cannot become the
J holy of holes in which God will
take up his dwelling place ex-
( cept as sin is repented of and
\ cast out. This is the second
I thought, then, which we would
y emphasize. That even though
God is imminent always in the
! welfare of man, he is far, very
y far, from the Individual heart
I that is given up to it's own Iusts
and desires. And let us not for
get that while sin is in the
heart and the life, the presence
and favor of God cannot be won
( by zeal in religious forms and
} ceremonies. 1t is the heart which
repents and turns from sin that
can hope for the Divine pres
ence.
