Why should we trade at home?
Why should we consider home in any
way more than any other place unless
1t pays US financially? First, because
1t is our home. The pride we should
take in the prosperity of our home
town and our neighbors should be suf-

preference. Second, because beyond
all doubt or question, it pays from a
money point.
The greatest menace to the country
merchant to-day is the mail order
business, and with the decline of the
country merchant comes inevitable
loss to the citizens of both town and
country. What at first was considered

OF commendable enterprise has grown
to be one of the crying commercial
evils. The success of the mail order

every man and woman is to blame

The remedy has been outlined in a

steps. Let merchants buy at home

trade with them when they do not
patronize their brothers in trade. The
editors should patronize home, and
even at considerable personal sacrifice

his tongue quick enough.
Give me that box, it doesn't belong
to you
He would have snatched it away,
but one of the boys interfered while
his companion suddenly pried open
the lid. There was sudden scream
and the box fell to the ground. Out
of it jumped long, copper-colored
reptile. Eut before it reached the
ground and disappeared in the brush
it had struck it's fangs deep into the
hand of the int;uisitive boy.
Realizing the 2nornity of the acct
dent that had SO suddenly come upon
him, the boy screamed with pain, real
or imaginary, and shouted loudly:
'I'm killed, Bob! Taat RATHER bit

Then the pain of the snake-bfte

up his arm to show where the swelling
was already transforming the limb.
Run for the doctor, Bob, or shall

He turned to Font in his agony, and
the stolid little face suddenly relaxed,
as he said:

''Then get it quick! Hurry, or it will

Font suddenly disappeared In the
swamp, and the two frightened boys
gazed mutely at his retreating figure.
They were miles away from the Flor,

missing the winter. and no doctor
could be found nearer. There seemed

sr'ek tie played on the City Chaps
:. Who Were Too Inquisitive.

Font was barefooted, and his
clothes were torn from head. to foot,
is he stepped out of the swamp, but
there was a picturesque appearance
about his figure that redeemed it from
the commonplace. Honesty, intelli-
sence and laughing face were men,
tai and physical characteristics that
struck the observer at once.
When he reached dry land, he held
up rough wooden box and peered be-
tween the Stats on one side. Something
W1ggled, and the boy laughed.
Say, what have you got in there?"
shouted a voice from the bridge above
the stream.
Font looked up and stared at the
TWO boys. He had not seen them be-
tore, and the voice, coming out of the
stiffness OF the swamp, startled him.
II say, what have you got there -
demanded the voice more 1mpera-
lively.
Font was not accustomed to such
peremptory speech, and instead of re-
plying, he walked off in the opposite
direction
He's mighty stuck up about it,
muttered the first speaker. Lets
take it away, and see what he's got"
"A1 right! Well teach him a les
son."
The two boys hurried down the
slope, and in a few minutes reached
Fonts side. They were both taller
than he, but Font had the advantage
of breadth and muscle. Without
further preliminary the two boys
grabbed him by the shoulders, and
one said:
''Why didn't you answer me-?
Haven't you any tongue in your
head?"
Font remained silent, and this frri-
tated the boys more than II ne had
answered sharply.

Then he shouted in Fonts ear:

Font stepped back quickly. and
Rugged his box more closely.
"Oh, we'll, if you won't let us see.
We'll take it from you.''

the point Of despair when he pushed
through tho swamp thicket again, car
rying some leaves and roots in his
hands.
''This will cure snake-bite," he said.
1T is an old Indian cure. ]. Rub the
leaves on the sore and chew the
roots" ~
Font handed the frightened boy
several pieces OF root, which he be-
gan to chew eagerly. Meanwhile Font
rubbed the wound vigorously with the
leaves. A green slime seemed to
exude from the leaves, as he rubbed,
and when this was smeared over the
whole hand he smiled with satisfac-
ton. e.
The roots that the sufferer was
forced to chew were bitter, and he
made many wry face as he swa1"
lowed the juice. Finally he asked:
How long must I chew them?"
''TiI the swelling goes down. re-
piled Font, with serious air.
For half an hour the trio stood
watching results. The two frightened
city boys hardly dared look at any
thing except the swollen arm, which
was now actually growing smaller.
"See, the swelling is going down."
said Bob.
"Yes," gasped Harry, ~but can't
stand this much longer Its making
me sick"
A deathly pallor spread over his
face and Font looked up with con-
Germ. Then he said quietly:
Maybe that will do now. The
swelling has gone down some"
With an expression of intense re-
lief Harry took the roots out of his
mouth and tried to look happy. But
he was far from filling exultant even
though he knew that his life had been
saved.
"Do you think there is: any danger
now" he asked apprehensively.
"Not If you go right home and stay
in bed two days." said Font "You
mustn't get up and go around. Two
days in bed, the Indians say, and then
the poison will go away
With this advice carefully cherished
in their minds, Harry and Bob parted
from the little, fellow: but not until
after they had inquired where he
lived When the two boys were out
of sight, Font threw himself on the
grass and rolled around in paroxysms
Of laughter.
Three days later three horsemen
drew rein before the log house of
