SOME REMARKABLE HORSES.
Wonderful Stories About the Steeds
of Famous Men.

In his letters to Lord Granville, pub
lished by the Royal Philosophical So
ciety, who was also greatly interested
in natural history, Smithson, the
founder of the Smithsonian institution
in America, relates how the horse of
Alexander the Great, Bucephalus,
would at night, on hearing a blast Of
the trumpet from the soldiers on guard
showing the approach of the enemy,
run at great speed to his masters tent
and with his teeth grab the sleeping
monarch and shake him until he sprang
into the saddle and galloped toward
the enemy.
Also that the great Caliph H~aroun-el.

MERCHANT
HE SOMETIMES DRIVES TRADE
AWAY FROM THE TOWN.
HINDRANCE TO LIVE MERCHANT
Are as Much to Be Feared as the
Competition of the Catalogue
Houses-Should Be Awak-
ened or. Buried.

Why should the home merchant be
p~atronized instead of the mail order
house? The subject has been ex-
hausted almost and from all points Of
view and all sides there is no valid
reason why the merchant at home
should not-excepting two, price and
articles wanted.
1t is not the intention of the writer
to jot down a pleasant flow of Ian
guage or to produce an interesting bit
of reading matter, but merely to state
in a few simple sentences what I have
seen and learned of the competition be-
tween the catalogue houses and the
home merchants. In the first place no
n community suffers greatly in this
competition. That makes the problem
all the more difficult in solution. |
lea by this that the majority of buy
ers in no one community purchase by
mail. The business of the mail order
house is scattered ovSr a large terri
tory, the number of orders coming
from any one community compared
with the whole is comparatively small
to the number of orders in the town.
There is an exception to this in a COM
munity where the home merchants are
dead ones and ask exhorbitant prices.
To Illustrate. There is a little city in
the central part of Wisconsin, a beau
tiful little place, with it's shady streets
and pleasant homes. 1t has several
general stores owned by live, wide
awake merchants, who are hustling for
business, yet are always pleasant and
ready to visit with a customer. They
are not put out at any time to show
goods, taking down bolt after bolt of
cloth and maybe then not making even
a five-cent sale. They take that as

sERMoNETTE.

"Whom not having seen, ye
Iove."-These words Of Peter to
Christians refer to the Christ,
and are strikingIy pertinent in
connection with this story of
the romance of Ruth and Boaz.
This noble and high-minded
man, Boaz, had heard of the
s~eIf-sacrifice and devotion OF
Ruth, the Moabitish woman, and
his appreciation of true goodness
and worth had aroused in his
heart an admiration, yea, a love,
which could have had no other
sequel than that which this beau
tifuI love story unfoIds.
1t is a splendid thing to have
a heart which is sensitive to the
qualities of real goodness. Our
perceptions of worthy qualities
in others are so modified and
tempered by the external and SUI
perficiaI conditions of wealth
and social position, that many a
human flower of the rarest pur-
ity and grace and beauty is born
to blush unseen and unknown in
the busy, occupied world about.
1t is easy to see the virtues of
those to whom we may look for
~favors, but we have little thought
or time to spend upon the one
who in his humble, narrow
sphere is living nobIy, heroicaI-
ly, subIimeIy.
To most of the people In
Bethlehem Noami and Ruth were
but poor, needy unfortunates. To
the former the surprised word

ed, and then she was forgotten.
For the latter there was the
curious, wondering gaze of the
neighbors and friends and towns
people of Naomi, and the I'M
spoken query is to why she had
come and what she had hope of
gaining.
But to n person at least in
Bethlehem there came an appre-
citation Of the purity and
strength of character of Ruth.
He heard Of Naomi's return, and
being a kinsman of her dead
husband he might have felt an
noyed at the thought that here
was a poverty-stricken relative
who would make drafts on his
bounty. He heard of the coming
of the daughter-in-Iaw, and he
might have listened to the un-
kindly criticism which must
have been dropped as the
strange woman from a strange
land came into their midst. What
scheme had she in coming?
What selfish purpose had she
to serve? Suspicion of her mo-
tives and contempt for her ma
tionality and her poverty might
have so prejudiced his mind as
to blind him to the rare woman
Iy virtues which she possessed.
But his love for real goodness
was so keen and genuine, and
his high-minded judgments SO
free from bias and impure mo-
tives that he was able to under.
stand fully "aIl that Ruth had
done," and though he had not
seer her, he loved her. His was
not a sentimental, supe rficial
love. 1t was such a love as only
a good, pure, strong heart a
feel as it finds those qualities in
another, for purity loves purity;
goodness loves goodness.

Vanity is not like pride, IN inordinate
idea of our excellence; it is an inordinate
desire for honor and praise, even when
we know that we do not deserve either.
1t is a kind of vice which is so great
that in order to produce the objects of
our desire we lie to our own conscience.
Have you any symptoms?

EXPRESS COMPANY FRANKS.
They Cannot Be Given to Railway
officials.

The interstate commerce commission has
held that express companies cannot give
franks to railroad officials. .1n an opinion
given to a western railroad president yes
terday Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Lane said:
The law does not permit an express
company to give transportation franks to
the officers or employees of railroad COM
panies. A railroad president, or other off,
Ger of railroad, is as much bound by the
law limiting free transportation as any one
not connected with a railroad. The letter
of section l of the law, stating what passes
may legally be granted, does not extend to
any carrier the right to give free transpor
tation to the property of railroad officers,
agents or employees. 1t deals entirely with
the transportation of persons. Express
companies are under the Jurisdiction of this
commission, and are subject to the provis
ions of the law, and there is no provision
therein under which they have authority to
discriminate in favor of railroad officials
Every time such express frank Is used it
is violation of the law, and subjects both
user and carrier to the penalties fixed in
