A SARCASTIC STORY
THAT'S FULL OF TRUTH
Astonishing How Some Business Men
Will Patronizc Mail Order Hous-
es and At the Same Time
Dcnouncc Farmers for
Doing So.

A dry goods merchant In a town
not many miles away, was starting
down town when his wife reminded
him of his most important duty dur
ing the day.
Now, my dear, be sure and don't
forget to send to the city for that
new Stanhope, so we can have 1t by
Sunday. You know our old buggy
is getting so it's not fit to be seen. "
Just few blocks away the hard
ware merchant who handled vehicles
and implements was sitting at break
fast with his family. The conver-
sation drifted around to the near
approach of winter.
And that reminds, Joe," said the
lady who sat at the head of the table.
Il must be going to the city not later
than next week. | must get goods
for the children's dresses and under
wear for the boys, shoes and hose for
all of us and many other things, and
then | want to see about a winter
suit for myself, and | think while
I'm up there, that perahps I'd better
see something about a new rug for
the parlor and some lace curtains
for the front windows.
"That reminds me also," respond
ed the husband, that | am needing
some printing for the store. | VIII
Just order these from the city at the
same time and have them come by
freight with your shipment. Let's
see, | can use in a year about 5,OOo
letterheads, 10000 shipping tags.
and 10000 envelopes
An hour or two later the town 8
leading grocer stepped into the bank
to buy a draft. which he was going
TO send to a firm in St. Louis for
a swell bedroom suite his wife had
ordered about a week before.
"How's business?" asked the
banker. "Oh. not so very good, re-
piled the sugar and coffee merchant
resignedly. Things are little duh
just now
Before the banker finished writing
the draft dapper young man with
grin stepped in and asked how
everybody was. The banker was glad
10 see him. He was a representative
of a big printing establishment In
another state. He and the banker
chatted pleasantly for a few minutes.
after which the young man inquired
casually of his friend behind the win
dow If he wanted anything.
"Well, yes" replied the other good
naturally. II believe | do Print us
70 900 checks, 500 drafts and a
IcounIe thousand letter heads. The
younp man thanked him cordially
for the order and hustled out.
That night the local business men
of the town had a meeting in the
town hall to discuss the growing mai
order evil that the gentlemen men,
Toned in this narrative delivered
short talks.
They said all the farmers were
ouilty of treason to their home mer
chants when they persisted in buy
mo their goods of mail order houses

was in Denver, having married Miss
Hall of Colorado Springs two years
before coming here. From 1896 un-

In Cleveland. the two spent the wears
in travelling about the country. His
wife says that until three months
ago Mr.. Hoskins refused to see a
doctor concerning his affliction, but
that he then consulted an eve spec

sight.
Mrs. Hoskins came to Colorado
Springs four weeks ago to visit
friends and every letter from rela-
tlYes in Cleveland told of the prob
able ultimate failure of the doctor
to help her husband. Last Monday
word came that his eyesight had
been completely given him. Said
Mrs. Hoskins last night:
Il don't suppose anyone in the
world knows or has the least idea
of what this news means to us. My
husband has never seen and now to

the years We have been married with
