GIVE DEALERS A CHANCE.
At DEMONSTRATING by Mail'-
Reason VS. Prejudice.

When people patron;ze mail
rder houses and boast of the
bargains" they get by SO doing,
it causes one to smile, especially
when the self-same article is on
sale in their own town at the
same figure, if not, indeed at a
cheaper rate. Just how some
parties figure out their great gain
is such dealing is not quite clear,
because more often than not the
difference in prices locally and
abroad are very slight. Not only
his, but the man who sends
East for his goods is not only
inviting the i'll will of home
firms who have right to expect
his patronage, but he is literally
knocking the props from under
his own town, numbering local
industries and his own locality,
aiding in strangling legitimate
business and doing "dlrt' to his
fellow townsmen who are irving
to make an honest living along
honest lines of trade.
The man who establishes
business is adding to the lite of
that town, which in turn means
added prosperity for all who dwell
therein. He comes TO make his
home there and to take his
chance With the public. He in
vests his money and lays in a
stock of goods at reasonable
prices, treats everyone alike, and
as citizen aud as business
man is entitled to respect and
patronage.
The Eastern mail order houses
print flashy catalogues aud send
them broadcast, to catch the eye
of the town knocker, who would
rather pay the same price in the
East, or even more, than patron
ize some local merchant against
whom he has, perchance, a petty
prejudice. If the mail order house
sends an inferior class OF goods
what are the customers to do
about it? The house has the
money, the consumer has the
goods; freight rates are high; it
is a long, weary way to ship
goods back, and the r-an at the
far end of the line has by lar the
best end of the bargain. He can
assure you that you ordered the
wrong number in the catalogue
or that some other mistake is
made, and you can like it or

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. Ehe
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it sun bath to sweesen it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
q churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
chnrning of butter. is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn IS foul il
makes foul all which is put into it?.
The evil OF a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption oi
the pure current of blood and the dissem.
nation of disease throughout the body.

The Wall of a Reporter.
[ watch for local items.

I watch for local items,
AS along the street they bob,
I Lail them in my notebook thick,
('Tis thus hold my job.)
But now has come the summer time,
And brinv weeplets drop.
For on the snltry streets defunct,
No local squibs outcrop.
While everyone hath hied him hence
Unto the briny sea,
To pask beside the bounding main,
Arrayed in negligee;
To paddle barefoot in the wave,
In spite of crabs that bite 'em,
roam the soporifc streets
To catch the fitting item.
The mercury scoots up the tube,
The streets wax hot as Tophet,
But still must stick by my post
And curse the weather prophet.
Yet though such troubles vex me sore,
I could be gay despite 'en,
IF only now and then might
Cop the elusive item.
I burn to see the mason drop
Kerplunk from off the wall;
yearn to have large brick bat
On some pedestrian fall;
Let some one drown, or steal, or dare
Somebody out and fight em;
I care not what it be, just SO
1t furnishes an item.
o, that the winter time were here;
The summer days were o'er:
For then nv notebook would grow
plump
With local squibs galore
The future stretches black ahead,
I cannot find nor write 'em-

Fugacious local item.-Ex.

NOT TWO CODES.

Are tnere Two cOuSS Ol etlllcs
which man may follow-one
for the guidance of his private
life and another and differing
one for the direction of his civic
life?
It is plain that not few men
think, or at least would have
their fellows think, there are two
such codes. There are men who
are just, honorable and upright
in private life; they are kind
affectionate husbands, wisely in
dulgent fathers, courteous, oblig-
ing neighbors and, so far as
their most intimate friends know.
they are earnestly striving to
order their lives according to the
requirements of the decalogue.
This is their private life. 1t is
without stain, above reproach
and altogether most exemplary.
Follow them out into their
wider life where, through busi-
ness or offic al relations they
must assume and perform the
duties they owe to the commun-
ity, to the state, and they appear
to be governed by a wholly diff
erent code of ethics. Deception,
selfshness, avarlce and double
dealing are practiced by them
and speciously excused or denied
under the plea that they are
simply and rightfully looking
after their own interests and
must practice those little busi-
ness tricks, innocent, harmless
devices practiced by all, if they
would be successful.
In official relations we may see
men whose private life is blame
less themselves guilty of, or
having guilty knowledge of ex-
travagencc, bribery, graft"
"rake-off"" and embezzlemenl
by others. Discovery ultimately
comes. Friends and families arei
Inundated and disgraced, and we
charitably say: Another. good
man gone wrong"
What offers an adequate ex-
PLANTATION of this? Not that the
man is weakling who would
not resist temptations presented
by opportunities for wrong-doing;
not that he is a hypocrite, a.
fraud, sham. His whole
private life, running through
many years it may be, precludes
such an explanation. 1t is found
in the view that he has persuad-
ed himself to believe there are
two codes of ethics, one of which
is designed for his private life,
the other for his civic life. Wei
can find no other charitable and
sufficient explanation. Weak
lings and hypocrites abound, but
these are quickly recognized by
their fellow men and denied op-
portunity for great wrong doing.
1t is the strong man who wins the
confidence of his fellows snd
strong men often labor under
strong delusions, and there is
NO more plausible and seductiveI
delusion than this.
1t is false. There is but one
code of ethics; there can be
but one, and it is intended tol
guide men in all the relations of
life. Truth, fidelity, integrity, |
justice, right and righteousness
must dominate the civic as we'll
as the domestic and private life
of men. Their obligations to God
and men require this. No man
should delude himself. Humi-
liation, disgrace, destruction
await him who thus 'deceives
himself. Public sentiment, long
dormant, is awakening; public
long and greatly debauch-
ed, are rapidly forming on right |
lines. Again we may hear the
voice of Eternal Truth: ct
must need be that offenses come,
but woe unto him by whom they

Trouble Starts From Use of
Cemetery" for
Seminary"

The policy adopted by the Public
Printer OF fning the proofreaders for
their costly oversights may result in
several complications.
1t is known that the fines have not
been received with good grace in some
quarters. and some of the proofreaders,
it is said, have sought lesAl advice on
the subject. contending that the head
OF the Government Printing Office can
not deduct sums from their pay en-
velopes arbitrarily" as they express II.
A high official of the Treasury De-
paTtment. when asked yesterday If any
appeal could be made by the disafected
prOofreaders. said that in his opinion
the employees have the right TO appeal
Treasury for redress. The Comptroller s
decision. it is said. would settle the mat
ter definitely.
Comptroller Tracewell, when asked II
the case had been brought TO his atten-
ton. said that he knew nothing Of the
fines imposed by the Public Printer, ex-
cept what he had seen in the news
papers. He declined to discuss his
views on the subject
It has long been the custom In the big
printery 70 impose fines for shoddy
work. and this custom has been taken
as a matter Of course until the Public
Printer imposed a fine OF S3425 each on
two men for allowing the word GENE
terry 70 appear in an education report
in place OF seminary"
The Public Printer insists that the
mems work must be kept up to a high
standard and that the fairest and best
way to do so is 70 impose fines on those
who fail TO exercise the proper amount
Of diligence and caution.
Judging from the attitude of the men
at the printery. a test case in the near
future is highly probable.
