Every year millions upon millions of
dollars find their way from the towns,
villages and rural districts of the coun-
try to the Golfers Of the mail order
houses in the cities, and go to the up
building of enormous institutions in
the centers of population. Naturally,
the sources from which the contribu-
lions are made suffer accordingly.
Figures ever tell a better story than
words. Here are figures which tell
a story SO stupendous that it's full sig
n~ificance cannot be grasped in a mo-
ment, but the mere sight of which are
awe inspiring:
In the year 1905 two mail order
houses, located in Chicago, did a bust
ness amounting in round numbers to
$S0,000,000 In the year 1904 these
same concerns did a business of about
$62, 000, 900, a gain of SIS, 600, 900 or
nearly 80 per cent. in a single year be-
ing thus exhibited.
These figures represent the sale last
year of one dollars worth of merchan-
disc for every man, woman and child
in the country by two catalogue houses
alone, and those operating from the
same central point. Dozens o of

the more densely populated portions Of
the large cities. The idea proved to
be a happy one in every respect. The
delights of a merry-go-round expert
ence were enjoyed for a penny by hun
dreds of children who had eve seen
such a device before and who never
had five cents to spend on such a dis
sipation, even if they had the oppor-
tunity.
A similar innovation has been re-

through which the little patrons pass

its passengers the wheel is revolved

Historic Tow,

In Independence hall at Philadel-
phia there is preserved among not
able revolutionary relics a QUAR-. lit
tie doll dressed in the fashion of
Louis XVI. Long before there was
a United States this pretty Parisienne
found her way yer sea, carrying with
her into William PENIS woodland a
little of the folly and fashion Of the
old world, for she was not only a
plaything, but the fashion platet of
her time.
Can you picture to yourself the
countless multitude of dolls that has
followed in her way? In the last six
months, for instance, Paris sent yer
to New York toys worth $21S,S19-
and over half of that sum was repre-
scented by dolls. In recent years
France has lost a little of her SUI
premacy in the toy market. She can
no longer compete with Germany in
homely toys-the trifles that are sold
for a song; but in p%laythings of a
finer sort she still holds her own.
Not without effort, however. The
local authorities of Paris offer tempt
ing rewards for the invention of new
toys.-Vance Thompson, in Every
body's.

No LONGER Novel.

When James P. Magenis was chief
deputy in the internal revenue service
he was stricken with a yer attack
of typhoid fever. and it was some
weeks before he was able to resume
his duties.
Before his illness his hair was lux
uriant, but after it a bald spot began
to show, which was noticed by a dep
uty, who spoke to him about it.
Pardon me, JIM" he said, but
you are getting bald, and you know a
head of hair slike yours is quite a
novelty these days"

continued all night, and the next
morning he could not remember hav-
ing slept any.
1t was the same story for the sew
eral nights succeeding, and Rawls was
getting wan and pale on account OF
lack of sleep.
Finally in his desperation he added
a % Flobert rifle to his arsenal, and
that night, when the first green-eyed
marauder appeared in the airshaft,
he shot him dead. He also took sew
eral other shots at long range and re-
duced the noise that night to a consid-
cradle extent.
He continued his warfare for ev-
eral nights and was beginning to con-
graduate himself on being a benefac-
tor of mankind, when early one morn
ing, as he was dressing, there came
fronted by a low-browed individual
who stated that several of the neigh
bors had complained that he (Rawls)
was shooting their pet cats and that
he must warn him to desist, else in
his capacity as agent for the S. P. G.
A. he would feel called upon to prose-
cute him for cruelty to animals!
Cruelty to animals!" shrieked
Rawls, why, man alive"--then he
realized that it would be useless to
argue with this low-browed person.
He contented himself with saying he
hadn't thought of it and closed the
door, ~whereupon, it is said by his
friends, that he Immediately collapsed.

more has recovered his accustomed
geniality of temper, but there is no

to coast and from border to border.
A fact not generally known is that
hundreds of nee throughout the
country which now are doing business
through the regular trade channels are
awaiting only a parcels post law to
unloose literature, already prepared
in many instances, which would pro-
ject them into the mail order field. and
this does not take into account the
hundreds and perhaps thousands OF
entirely new mail order concerns
which inevitably would spring into ex-
istence under such friendly auspices.
The two Chicago institutions re-
ferred to, already occupying immense
buildings, found themselves cramped
for room. One of them expended not
less than 81, 000, 900, and probably more,
for a new home. The other lately has
secured a new location and also will
expend at least $4,000 900 for an i'm
mense new building.
Anyone who will reflect even casual
~ on the subject must become i'm
pressed that the influence OF the mail
order business is toward the central
ization of wealth, and how enormous
a part it is playing in this direction
will be understood from a secoad
glance at the figures which have been
given above.
It is due to himself that every patron
of the mail order house should inquire
honestly of himself what the final out
come is to be if the mail order bust
ness shall continue to make the great
strides which have marked its prog
ress during the last half decade.
It is useless to repeat the well worn
argument of the mail order concerns
that they are selling goods enough
more cheaply than the merchants in
the regular channels of trade to leave
their customers more money thar
ever to devote to home enterprises
and institutions. The fallacy of this
statement has been proved over n
oyer again by actual and minute COM
p~arisons of goods, as to their quality
and prices. TIE refute it finally and
indisputably by a simpler and more
direct method it is necessary only to
ask the reliable business men of any
of the smaller communities to show
the. evidence from their books and &C
counts Of the harm the mail order
habit is doing their communities.
It is a truth as old as the hills and
as certain as the rising and setting OF
the sun that no country or section OF
a country can prosper unless the peo-
pie as a whole shall be prosperous.
Such general prosperity as may exist
cannot be retained If the institutions
of the already larger and weather.
communities are to continue to be
built up by contributions that should
be spent at home from the thousands
of smaller communities.
The need of the country, a desper-
ate need upon which the welfare OF
the individual depends, is for the
upbuilding and continued progress OF
the smaller communities, SO that the
wealth OF the country may be distrib-
uted over the entire country, and not
congested and controlled In large
The Tupelo journal., 1907-01-25

amounts in a comparative few centers
OF population.
The efore, the man who sends away
from his own community money which
he might have spent at home and per-
mitted a fair profit to the home mer-
chant to be retained there for the
benefit of the community, Is injuring
his community, and thereby the pros
poets for his own future prosperity.
In a large number Of instances he rs
doing more than this. Unwittingly, or
unthinkingly, perhaps, he is violating
his own principles of right and justice.
for, at the expense of his own com
munity, he is needlessly contributing
profits to the c~apitalistic combinations
which he continuously cries out are
menacing the country.
The mail order giants direct their
energies particularly toward the peo-
pie of the smaller towns and the agri-
cultural districts. In hundreds of
thousands of the homes of these the
catalogue Of the mail order house is as
regularly received as the home paper.
The mar on the farm last year sent a
very large portion of eighty millions
of dollars to two of these institutions,
in n community, alone.
In all sincerity we ask: Admitting,
purely for the sake of the argument,
that the farmer or the resident Of the
small community a save a few dol.
lars on some of his purchases, or even
that he could do so on all Of them, can
he afford to continue to impoverish
his own community, upon which his
own prosperity, the very value of his
land depends?
If he will ask himself this question
and consider it soberly and fairly in
all of its phases, including the many
which cannot be touched upon within
the limits of a single article, we think
his answer must be that he cannot.
The wonderful productivity of this
country has been sufficient to over
come the various adverse economic in
~fluences which have existed during the
period of years in which the mail or
der business has accomplished its

feathers are immensely liked. More
conservative tastes prefer the bright
hued cushions with little or no decor
alton.
Stenciled effects in leather cushions
are very good, these usually showing
up in a lighter or darker shade than
the cushion itself or in a pleasantly
contrasting shade.
For example, a very rich design was
in a warm shade of ten suede with
black leur-de-lis outlined in raising
circles of gold (ye,low paint touched
with gold. The same idea was also
shown in a scarlet saphion with black
f~leur-de-lis. Stenciled monograms, too,
are amang the exclusive novelties
which the amateur artist may copy.
Altogether different are the cut-oUt
patterns of leather, sometimes being
an all-over design, again a wide border
running diagonally through the center
and under which a contrasting color is
used.
Cushions of these rough and ready
materials look their best in a we'll
stuffed circular design, the newest hav-
ing ear-tied corners. Many are stem
ciled in queer Japanese characters
and heraldic designs. When only a
little work is desired, then tinted pat
terms require only a heavy cotton or
silk for outlining purposes.

FIRM IN HIS PATRIOTISM.
With Usual Boast American Greeted

When a patriotic young American
made his first trip abroad from Boston
he took in Paris. Of course, and his

the sights, took him to the Louvre,

This became nonotonous at last,
and his friends resolved to stop 1t, ii
possible. They therefore gave him a
dinner, and put a mild soporific in his
wine, and after 1t had produced the
desired effect they got him into a
fiacre and took him to one of the I'M
derground Paris crypts, where the
skeletons and bones have accumulated
for centuries, and are arranged in
inches in the walls; collins are lying
about, some of them empty. He was
laid in one of them; a single candle
was left burning, and his friends con-
cealed themselves to await results.

CATS AND THE MAN
WHY RAWLs OBJECTS TO TAX
ING SECOND PLACE.
Willing to Leave to All the World u
He Was Justified In Taking the
Drastic Action Protested
Against.

Up on the West Side there Is q
man named Rawls, who wants to or
ganize a Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Human Beings. Rawls says
such a society is urgently needed.
He says there are plenty Of con-
demned fools in the world who are
wandering about the world, shedding
crocodile tears over the o of spav-
ined cab horses, stump-tailed dogs
and loud-mouthed cats; but when a
plain, ordinary human being raises
his voice in distress and cries aloud
for relief the Good Samaritans pass
to the other side Of the street.
1t was cats that we're the cause of
all Rawl's troubles. He had just
moved into quarters and had an
elegant bedroom, into which came an
abundance of air and light from the
air shaft on which it was situated.
He felt immensely pleased with his
new place, and retired to rest the
first night with a feeling of comfort
and quiet.
But it was not for long. Hardly
had his thoughts begun to shape
themselves into fantastic dreams
when a longdrawn-out caterwaul rose
from the bottom of the air shaft. This
was answered from the back yard,
which was connected with the air
shaft by an alleyway.
With a muttered curse, Rawls
bounded from his bed and threw up
a window, letting in a blast OF raw
air that made his toes curl. Scat,
you devils!" he shouted.
But a half dozen pair of green eyes
merely glanced up at him in a casual
fashion, and then their owners faced
each other again and resumed their
cursing. Closing the window in impo-
tent rage, Rawls was creeping back
to bed, when q second alteration
broke out below. Hastily grabbing
up an old shoe, he slammed the win
dow up again and hurled the shoe
down into the mass of moving fur.
1t fell with a clatter and the enemy
fed.
C%huckling gleefully to himself,
Rawls once more sought his bed.
There was a dense silence for a time,
but within an hour the walls below
were as bad as ever, only this time
they were around in the alley, where
he could not reach them with a mis-
sile. 1t seemed to him the meowlings

The "matron" was discovered as a

while the 'd%ebutante" turned out to
be the small miss in a perambulator,
with an orange in one hand and a
stick of candy tightly grasped in the
other.
AS the color scheme was red, the
photographs were neatly framed in
red ribbon, a bow at the corners;
through of these loops there was
a white rose. The effect was charm
ing and a flow of conversation was
started which continued through the
meal.

OLDEST TREE IN THE WORLD.
About 1900 Years oId-Was a Branch
From the Tree Of Buddha.

What is supposed to be the Oldest
tree in the world is still standing in
Ceylon. It's age is given as about
1900 years and a writer in the Nation
al Geographic Magazine says that the
statement is undoubtedly quite cor
rect.
About 800 B. c. there was brought
to Ceylon a branch of the tree under
which the Buddha Gautama sat when
he attained buddhahood. The tree,
which now has the distinction Of be-
ing the Oldest tree in the world. is
the growth of that branch.
Greatly reyered by she pilgrims, it
has a temple erected in its honor.
Through centuries it has been re-
spected and spared by all. During It's
lifetime most of the worlds history
has been made. 1t was already old
when Christ brought His message to
the world.
