Here's the System

The Retailers Journal OF Chicago
after Criticising tie attempt OF retailers
to fight mail order houses by burning
their catalogues or stealing them
through bogus applications, gives the
merchants this wholesome advice,
This plan looks we'll on paper. 1t
sounds we'll, and az a matter OF fact
mas some force. But the true way to
put the mail order houses out OF BUSH
ness is for the local merchants who
suffer from their iurOad3 to organize
and beat them IN their own game.
Let them advertise among their trade
as the mail order houses do. Let
them meet mail order house prices
and let them do business on modern
business principles. some OF these
grocers who complain about mail
order houses have no time TO read and
80 keep abreast OF the times. They
never know what is going on or what
is likely to happen Until they have
been hit. Then they take time to
boiler. They would better take time
to trim their windows, to fix up their
stores generally AND keep their goods
in salable condition. Ultimately we
will have a parcel post law. 1t will
not seriously iniure the live country
merchant who is willing to learn how
to take care of his business. But it
will put a lot Of grocers out OF BUSH
ness who never should have engaged
in their present calling, Let the
country merchant once make up his
mind to drive out the mail order COM
petition and let him and his fellows
organize for that purpose, and ways
and means may be found to accom-.
plish the desired end, 1t cannot be
done by mere resolution "-Dawsou

A Scathinq Rebuke.

Wellington Taylor, of Fenton, who
was arrested for neglecting to provide
for his wife. who is dying of consump-
ton at the home of her sister was
rebuked In scathing terms by the court
when arraigned before Justice Halsey.
In adjourning the case for four weeks
the court rounded out his denunciation
of the accused by admonishing him to
hasten to the bedside of his wife and
make her as comfortable as possible in
her last hours.
IF you go over there and say one
unkind word to your poor wife," the
court added by way of parting warn
ing, you will be sorry for it when
you come before this court again"
Taylor, who is able-bodied and capa-
Bile OF earning good wages, was pro-
fuse in his promises TO do what he
could to make amends for his neglect
Of his wife in her helpless and pitia-
BILE condition, and the local authori-
ties wis see to 1t that he fulfills them
to the letter.

CUT THROAT OF HIS SIX YEARS
OLD SON BECAUSE HE
WAS A CRIPPLE.
TRIED. TO KILL HIMSELF
The Man Who Committed the HorrI-
BILE Crime Seems To Be Sane and
May Recover.
Eiandish Work.

Lying at the point OF death, with
chances favoring the latter, John T..
Jones, a well-to-do farmer, is In his
home at Bear Lake, Pleasanton town
ship, with Jagged cash in his throat.
His little 6-year-old crippled son, VIC
tim of a crazed father, lays dead in an
adjoining room.
Fiendish care was exercised In COM
hitting the fearful deed. Taking his
son to a room in the second story or
the farm house, Jones locked the door
and there made the sacrifice. The
childs throat was cut so that death
must have been almost instantaneous.
Jones was not so successful In his
next attempt He gashed his throat
and then his hand failed him. He
was found few minutes later by a
member of the family lying on the
floor in a weller of blood. Jones's
daughter, running TO the road TO get
a neighbor, saw DR.. Norconk, and hur-
ried him to the death chamber.
He may yet live" was the doctors
opinion after hasty examination. APP
parently Jones heard and understood
for at that instant he made another
savage slash at his throat with the
razor, which he had kept concealed
to that time. The second cut made
his condition much worse.
Jones's appearance lately has not
indicated i'll health, though his nerv-
Gus condition has been such that he
could do no work on the farm this
season. Members of his family say
that he acted a little strangely for
a few days preceding the tragedy but
they had no occasion TO feel alarmed
He undoubtedly brooded over the con-
dition of the child which was crippled
and was also mentally deficient
Jones is about As years of age. He
had many friends and was known as a
genial, good natured man with more
than the usual fondness for his chill
dren.
