John Glenarm, Esq.
Glenarm House,
Annandale, Wabana CO., Indiana:
Dear Sir-1 have Just learned from
| what I believe to be trustworthy
| source that you have already violated
the terms of the agreement under which
you entered into residence on the prop
erty near Annandale, known as Glenarm
/ House. The provisions of the will of
John Marshall Glenarm are plain and
| unequivocal. you undoubtedly under
stood when you accepted them, and your
absence. not only from the estate itself.
but from Wabana county, violates be-
yond question your right to inherit.
I, as executor, therefore demand that
you at once vacate said property, leav-
ing 1t in as good condition as when re-
ceived by you. Very truly yours.
Arthur Pickering,
| Executor of the Estate OF John Marshall
Glenarm.
VERY truly the devil's," growled
Larry, swapping his cigarette case
viciously.
How did he find out?" asked lame
ly, but my heart sank like lead. Had
Marian Devereux told him! How else
could he know?
Probably from the stars.-the whole
universe undoubtedly saw you skip
ping of to meet your lady love. Bah,
these women!"

You know what l mean well enough.
Mr.. Glenarm never intended that !
should sit down in his house and be
killed or robbed. He was the gentlest
being that ever lived, and I'm going to
fight for his memory and to protect his
property from the scoundrels who have
plotted against me- l hope you follow
me-"
"Yes, Mr. Glenarm." He was re-
garding me attentively. His lips quav-
cred, perhaps from weakness, and he
seemed distressed and i'll.
Now l offer you your choice
either to stand Loyalty by me and my
grandfather's house or to join these
scoundrels Arthur Pickering has hired
to drive me out. I'm not going to bribe
you'll don't offer you cent for your
help, but l won't have a traitor In the
house, and If you don't like me or my
terms want you to go and go now"
He Strengthened quickly,-his eyes
lighted and the color crept into his
face l had never before seen him ap-
pear SO like human being.
"Mr. Glenarm, you have been hard
on me; there have been times when
YOU have been most unjust"
Unjust, unfair-my God. what do
YOU expect me to take from you!
Haven't I known that you were in
league with Pickering? I'm not as
dull as look, and after your interview
with Pickering in the chapel porch you
can't convice me that you were faith
full to my interests at that time"
He started and gazed at me wonder.
ingly. had had no intention Of using
the chapel porch interview at this

Il suppose, sir" he began brokenly,
that can hardly persuade you that

you certainly can not,-and it's
safer for you not to try. But I'm will
ing to let all that go as reward for
your work last night. Make your
choice now; stay here and stop your

No Good - Town.

The man who spends his time loafing
about the town stores and complain
ing Of the conditions Of his environ
ments is no good to himself, his family
or his town. There are class OF men
who spend their time in bemoaning
the fact that they are not getting the
right kind OF living which the word
owes them, and who never once think
how much better this living could be
II they would only hustle. The man
who Is constantly grumbling about

which he can make 1t livelier.

EQUITY IN BUSINESS,
Practice Of Live-and-let-Live prlnel.
pies Most Desirable.

Too frequently 1t is noticed that in
the struggle to attain wealth the
rights OF the individual are ignored
Fair dealing ia a desirable thing as
well as most simple and it requires
only common honesty to practice It,
Not alone is there honesty involved
in the matter Of selling but also in
the matter of buying 1t is quite as
dishonorable for the purchaser to ex-
an article sold as 1t is for the seller
to demand an exorbitant price for his
goods
There is much sound philosophy in
the liveand-let-live gospel This is
nothing more than an observance Of
the Golden Rule that has found ex-
preston in all ages Of enlightenment
from the time Of Gautama down to
the present. In every day dealings it
is apparent that there is too much Of
exaggerated selfshness in evidence.
too great a struggle for the vantage.
There should be spirit Of Christian
cooperation that would be just to all
alike. Whole communities suffer
sometimes from the lack OF this sense
OF equity on the part of merchants
and their customers.
How often is the complaint heard in
rural districts that the storekeepers
Of town charge too high prices for
what they have to sell? How often is
1t noticed that where this feeling dom
mates the people that the home
town suffers as a consequence? 1t is
short sightedness on parts OF mer-
chants to require of their customers
more than what may be considered a
legitimate and Just profit. In fact. it
is poor business policy to follow out
a plan Of this kind. There are many
towns whose growth has been pre-
vented through grasping tendency
of the merchants to make all they pos
sibly can in few short years, and to
give the people as small an amount OF
goods as they will take for their
money. The natural result of pol
icy Of this kind is that the people
seek other towns in which to do their
trading and quite often buy from the
distant mail-order house.
Habits once formed are hard to
break 1t is quite as difficult for the
merchant to recover from the habit
Of making exorbitant profits as it is
for the patron OF the mail-order house
to turn his trade to the home stores.
Should both the merchants and their
customers calmly consider principles
that enter into commerce, and both
determine to practice equity in their
dealings, the merchant to sell honest
goods at honest profits and the Gus,
toner to give patronage to merchants
who would practice this principle, it
would be wholesome not alone for
the home towns, but for all the com
munities.

HILL INFLUENCE IS ELIMINATED
-RETURNS TO POLICY OF
ITS FOUNDER.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press, the old
est, and for many years the most in
fluential newspaper in the Northwest,
recently passed under the control OF a
syndicate headed by Tams Bixby and
Webster Wheelock, the latter a son OF
the late Joseph A. Wheelock, the
founder of the paper. The Duluth
News-Tribune comments ~editorially
upon the change as follows:
BACK TO THE PEOPLE.
The Pioneer Press OF Wednesday
made a brief but significant
ment. It has been known for some
weeks that all the stock of the corpor-
alton held by proxy for Mr.. James j.
Hill had been purchased by other in
terests, and that Mr.. Hill was volun
tarily down and GU so far as the Plo-
neer Press was concerned.
Mr.. Hill has not found newspaper
ownership profitable as a side 4 TO
railroading and has wisely
it. The announcement of the Pioneer
Press is the official notice by it's pres
! ent owners of the changed relations of
that paper to the public. OF the oil
rectors, John H. Barker and Jared How,
familiar names to many, were not re-
elected, and it is stated that all the
! stock held by Mr.. Barker and others,
| for Mr.. Hill, has been taken by a
| syndicate composed Of Tams Bixby,
Webster Wheelock and sixteen other
residents Of st. Paul, two residents OF
Minneapolis and two of Red Wing.
Fred G. ~Ingersoll of St. Paul now be-
comes president Of the company, and
Tams Bixby vice president and gen
| eral manager, the other directors be.
ing E. N. Saunders. Homer P. Clark
and Webster Wheelock, of st. Paul;
| l.. S. Gillett of Minneapolis, and John
| H. Rich of Red Wing, whose personal
ity and business connections are we'll
known throughout the state.
This change in the ownership of the
Pioneer Press is a matter OF more
| than passing interest and Importance
to the people of Minnesota. 1t is its
oldest daily newspaper in the state,
| and nothing has ever been able to
| break it's hold upon the older residents
and the more conservative business
element. 1t has always had their con-
| fdence and support and has deserved
it.
But the fact OF Mr.. Hills large inter,
est in the property which was known
to many and suspected by more, ere.
ated a prejudice against 1t In the
minds Of the masses.
To hold the confidence Of the people
a newspaper in the West must be indie
pendent not only in it's opinions but in
all connections and be wholly OF the
| people and for the people. The Pioneer
| Press will be greatly strengthened by
| this change and will regain the power
which was won for it by it's able and
fearless founder, Joseph WheelOck.
