TEN GOOD REASONS.
Read Them and Patronize the Mer
chants Of This Town.

Here are ten good reasons for trad
ing with your home business people,
as given by an exchange.
Because: You examine your pur-
chase and are assured of satisfaction
before investing your money.
Because: Your home merchant is
always ready and willing to make
right any error or any defective arti-
Gle purchased of him.
Because: When you are sick or for
any reason II is necessary for you to
ask for credit, you can go to the local
merchant. Could you ask it of a mail
order house?
Because: II merchant is willing
to extend you credit you should give
him the benefit of your cash trade.
Because.r Your home merchant pays
local taxes and exerts every effort to
build and better your market, thus in
creasing both the value of city and
country property.
Because: The mail order merchant
does not tighten your taxes or in any
way hold the value Of your property.
Because The mail order merchant
does nothing for the benefit of mar.
kets or real estate values.
Because: If your town is good
enough to live in it is good enough to
spend money in.-Gov. Folk of Mis-,
souri,.
Because: The best citizens In your
community patronize home industry
Why not be one of the best citizens?
Because: II you give your home
merchant an opportunity to compete
by bringing your order to him in the
quantities you buy out of town, he will
demonstrate that, quality considered
he will save you money.

THE STORY.

CAMUEL watched with more than
- usual interest the preparations
which were going forward for the SOL
emn celebration of the Passover feast,
for not only was he to have a part
in the celebration but he knew his
mother would come. It had been long
year to the young boy. His brave little
heart had found comfort in the
thought that he belonged to the Lord
and that he was in the temple to serve
him, but at times there was the hun
gcriag In his heart for the love and
comfort which only mother knows
how to bestow. But she had faith.
fully prepared him for the separation,
'or from his earliest recollection she
had filled his heart and thought with
the place he was to take in the tenn
pie service, and when at last the
time had come that he was to go up
with her to Shiloh, childish sense of
the dignity and Importance made him
brave and willing to remain behind
while his mother returned home. AS
she had embraced him and pressed a

parting she had said

See how much of good thou canst
have to tell me concerning thy serv
ice in the Lords house."
He had often thought of the words
and they had comforted him in thu
lonely hours and encouraged him
when his heart had grown faint and
weary with the monotonous routine OF
the simple daily tasks. He had beer

Search for Old Cannon.

A tradition still survives In Luzerne
county, Pa, that when Gen. John
Sullivan marched through that region
in 1879 on his expedition against the
Indian confederaey Of central New
York, he buried some superfiuous
brass cannon along the WilkesBarre
mountain. To search for these revolu-
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 few Indian arrow points.

1.-THE word Of the Lord was
precious In those days" Not
to the people of Israel, but to
God. Spiritual life was at such q
low ebb in the nation that the
precious things Of God were
withheld because God could not
give what the people were not
ready to receive. God never
wastes his revelation. He never
casts his pearls before swine.
Sad, is II not, to think that
there Is only too often a condi-
ton of life and heart which
shuts tight the windows of
heaven and prevents the Divine
blessing from descending? The
word of the Lord Is precious
} how precious we shall not fully
realize until we come into his
presence and the full knowi-
edge OF eternity. What poverty
{ Of soul is that which feels no
desire for the Divine message!
What fatal deafness to know not
or care not for Gods word!
Speak; for thy servant hear
eth."-What II with every whis-
pering of the Divine voice in our
souls there would be the quick,
glad, eager response of Samuel7
Many, many times day come
the gentle promptings to think
of God and to obey his will, but
as often they go unheeded, or
with the promise to listen when
more convenient season has
come. But mans convenience 10
not the time Of Gods revelation.
God does not deal In futures.
II Is present relationship which
he would bear to the human life.
And when he stoops to speak,
the soul must stop to listen. If
1t does not IL is at it's peril. God
may not speak again. Certain
it Is, that the message and the
blessing lost can never be
reeained. other blessing and
other message may come
from God as In mercy and
!, love God deals patiently with the
) Indifferent soul, but there Is a
distinct and positive loss to that
soul for all time which fails to
take when God holds out to give.
Whether during the busy rush Of
the day, or during the still watch
es of the night, let us be eager
to say when Gods voice is heard
speaking in the soul: "Speak;
: for thy servant heareth."
D "And Samuel told him every
7 Whlt."---it Is hard to tell the
Z truth to our friends, sometimes.
\ 1t is easy to say the flattering
word, but It Is quite another
thing to be frank and honest
and say the word which shall
point the error, and sound the
warning. But Is this not really
the test of true friendship? It
may seemingly strain our reIa-
tlons with those whom we love
and hold in special esteem, but
In the end II will work to their
s good and to the strengthening
of the ties Of friendship. Deal
faithfully. Give Gods revela-
, ton to the heart Of another, even

! demnatlon and warning.

1t is the ambition of the American
aeronauts who will enter the contest
at st. Louis next October in the effort
to retain the international cup, which
Lieut. Lahm won last year in his re-
markable fight from Paris to the
north of England, to make new long
distance record. In fact long before
the contest for the international cup,
which Is not to occur until October,
ascensions will be made to beat Count
de La VaulX's record, st. Louis will be
the point from which these ascensions
probably will be made, and before the
great race it is not at all improbable
that new goal will have been set for
foreign aeronauts to attain.
One has but to glance at the maps
of Europe and of the United States to
see at glance how much greater is
the opportunity for long flight from
st. Louis than from Paris. Whereas a
long flight from Paris is not possible
unless the wind is blowing approx
mately from the west, st. Louis is so
situated at the heart of the United
States that balloon may fly hundreds
of miles before reaching the sea, re-
CARELESS of the direction of the wind.
In fact, the chance of equalling or
exceeding the worlds long distance
record, which Is now held by Count
Henry de La Vaulx, is just twice as
great from st. Louis as from Paris.
From the capital of France a balloon
must travel within segment Of u
circle of only 10 degrees, having a
radius equal in length to de La Vaulx's
record flight to avoid being carried
out to sea, but from st. Louis the seq
ment of such circle within which
Count de La Vaulx's record may be
beaten includes 900 degrees.
Lieut.. Frank p. Lahm's winning of
the international cup last year, with a
record of only 402 miles, is an illus
tration of the difficulty of attaining a
considerable distance from Paris, ex-
cept under favorable conditions. On
the day set for the race the wind was
blowing almost directly from the
south and the balloons were carried
to the channel and thence to England.
For Lieut. Lahm to have attempted
further fight would have been to
court almost certain death by being
carried past the coast of Norway and
into the Arctic ocean.
That Count de La Vaulx's flight OF
1850 miles, from Paris to the province
of Kieff in Little Russia, made in
1900, still stands as the worlds long
distance record, in spite of hundreds
of ascents made each season since
then and determined and repeated eff
forts of aeronauts to wrest from him
the title of worlds champion, is con
vincing proof of the difficulties in the
way of beating that record in Europe
In America, on the contrary, tbN
door to opportunity is wide open. I'm
til Count de La Vaulx's exploit the
long distance record had been held II
this country for Al years by the fligh
of John Wise and three companions
from st. Louis to northern New Yorl
in 1859, distance of more than so,
miles. Had Wises balloon not beer
caught in a terrific storm and wrecked
1t Is quite possible that at that time
record would have been made at leas
equal to that of de La Vaulx.
American aeronauts have an addet
stimulus for establishing new recor,

through the contest for the Lahm cup,
which is to take place some time dur
ing the summer. Various conditions
are attached to the contest for this
trophy, but the main thing is to ex-
coed Lieut.. Lahm's record of 400
miles, made last year, when he won
the international cup for America.
If the wind is blowing directly from
the north or west at the time of the
ascension from st. Louis and the up
per currents correspond with those
close to the earth it will not be pos
sible to exceed Count de La Vaulx's
record The balloons will be carried
out to sea on the Gulf of Mexico or
the Atlantic ocean in such circum-
stances. But with wind from any
other direction the chance of estab-
fishing a new record is exceedingly
good.
1t is not regarded as probable that
a balloon would be carried across the
Rockies from st. Louis because OF the
almost entire absence of east winds in
that section of the country, but with
south wind or even a wind from the
southwest balloon could be carried
not further than into northern Maine
and still establish a new record.
With Canada stretching for hun.
dreds Of miles to the north, the oppor-
tunities in that direction are virtually
without limit, and in spite of the
chances of being lost in the wilds of
| the northland it is there that the eyes
of aeronauts are turned most hope
| fully.
Men who are spending much money
and time in making elaborate plans to
add the worlds record as well as the
international cup to Americas trophies
are cheered by the knowledge that the
science of aeronautics has so far ad-
vanced that there will be little diff
Guilty in keeping balloon afloat at
least as long as Count de La Vaulx's
was In the air when he made his rec
ord fight.
Wise and his companions had been
in the air only 10 hours when he had
covered a distance of more than 500
miles in a straight line from st. Louis,
and the aeronaut's own record of the
voyage described a course Covering
more than LOO miles, while Count de
La Vaulx was in flight for SO hours
and As minutes to cover distance of
1880 miles.
If some daring American aeronaut
can maintain Wise's speed, and at the
same time maintain his balloon in the
air as long as did Count de La Vaulx.
there can be no doubt of beating the
record, provided the balloon is car.

Foreign aeronauts who have en-.
tered for the international cup race
are eagerly discussing this chance OF
establishing new record. One OF
the leading writer's on aeronautics in
Paris recently went so far as to say
that the question OF making a new rec
ord from st. Louis is the feature OF
the contest of greatest interest Ia
