in Pennsylvania from which the
missing man came rose in fierce
wrath over his loss. Forty men
were sworn in as special con-
stables. armed themselves, and
came down on horseback, to Our
village, a posse comitatus, re-
solved to find Wolfenden, alive
or dead. He had been known
to two or three of OUR citizens.
The Pennsylvanians assumed
them to be the murderers; their
houses were searched by the
foreign police force; every closet
was ransacked, every barrel of
vinegar or whisky broken open.
Pistols were drawn.
The whole affair would have
degenerated into a riot, but for

a figure never seen there before.

led child by the hand. She
spoke to no one, but wandered
up and down, peering in at
every door, or stood by the
river, silent, staring at the swift
flowing flood. The people were
kindly and generous folk. They
took her and her child into
their homes, and made much of
them, and presently found a
way of support for her. She
never left the village. But when

- looking back long life. it seems
II to me that some of the real events
which have known, which never have
been told in print, quite as dra-
matte as any in modern novels. will
tell some of them.
Mysterious disappearance were common then.
For instance, chancellor of New York whose face
and figure were as we'll known to the public as Mr..
Roosevelt's to-day, stepped winter after
from the Jersey City ferryboat to the wharf
and passed smiling and bowling through the crowd
His carriage was waiting for him in the next street.
He never reached it. He disappeared as if breath
from Death itself had blotted him out of the world
All the wealth and influence of his family
used to find him, but to no purpose He was last
seen by some acquaintance in broad daylight in
the midst of crowd. That was the end. He was
never seen again.

the first time he had been in slave territory he
would stroll through the town to it. He saun-

The boat was to sail at nine o'clock, and the pas

did not appear. Search made, on the boat
and in the village, but to purpose. That search
for weeks. The way in which it was conducted
would seem odd enough now. The little town har-

and he pays what he pleases forthe
farmers produce. r~
The farmer can continue to send
the city for ais supplies, but he can
not sen his produce to the same
place. Ia disposing of that he is alb
solutely dependent upon his local mer
chant, and by his patronage of the
catalogue houses he has killed comp
e%tition, and must now take whatever
is offered for what ne has to sell.
Mr.. Farmer, are you helping to kill
the goose that is laying your golden
egg?
Are you sending you dollars to the
catalogue houses and by so doing kill
ing the local Industries of YOU town?
Are you putting our merchants out
of business, and creating a monopoly
that will pay o what it pleases for
the products of your farm?
II you are doing these things it is
time for you to stop and consider the
future. You will have to look but a
little way ahead to see the result,
and it will not be an attractive pic
ture hat greets you. The prosperous
community of which you are now a
part will fade like the summer flow
Eers before the winter winds, and al
most as quickly.
1t is the fact that there is a market
within close proximity to your farm
that makes your acres valuable. The
me1 who maintain this local market
for you are the men who cause the
railroad trains to stop at your town.
Take them away and soon the town
will be wiped off the map. The church
es will close for lack of support. The
schools viii cease to be a pride, and
your sons and daughters will lack
the opportunity that is theirs by
right of birth, and your acres, that
are now valuable because they lie
il close proximity to a market will
show a depreciation that will aston
ish you.
Your interests are identical with
those of the merchants of your town.
By sending your dollars to the city
you may cause the merchants to close
their establishments, but wnen they
are forced to this they can pack their
stock of goods and go elsewhere, but
you cannot pack up your farm and
move it; your acres must lie in the
bed you have buiIded for them wheth-
er it be fair or foul, and it is "up to
you" Mr.. Farmer. and in this way
you can solve the greatest problem
that now confronts this country.
Will you do it?

Why Farmer Should Give His Sup

port to the Local Merchant.
Alfred c. Clark in American Press.
The most serious problem that con-
fronts the rural towns and villages
of this country is the competition Of
fered local enterprises by the cata-
logue houses of h large cities. 1t
is a problem for which solution must
be found if the prosperity n sta
bility of the nation is to stand.
And the solution of this great prob
lem lies in the hands of the people of
the towns and villages and the farms,
especially the farms.
The people of the rural communal
ties have everything to lose n moth
ing to gain by sending their money
to the catalogue houses, by passing
by their local merchants and sending
their dollars to the who have
absolutely no interest in their com
munities.
These catalogue houses do not pay
taxes il your town; the local mer-
chant does They do not build side
walks in your town; the local mer-
chant does. They do not contribute
to the building of roads over which
the crops of the farms are hauled to
market; the local merchant does.
They do not help to build school
houses for your children; the local
merchant does. They do MOI assist in
the support of your churches; the To-
cal merchant does.
But there are some things the cata-
logue houses do for you, and the first
terially in bankrupting you commu1-
ity. The dollars they take away new
er come back to you. They will never
help to make a city of u village.
They will never increase the value
of your real estate holdings by max
ing local improvements.
Let us look at the subject from the
standpoint of the farmer, for it is the
farmer who is the greatest patron of

en- or more merchants of the town,
each anxious to obtain his full share
of the business of the community,
maintain a competition that affords
to the farmer at all times top prices
for the products of mis- farm. 1t is
these half dozen merchants that make
farm profits possible; the profits are

What is the result?
One after another the doors of the

of patronage by offering fair prices
for that which the farmer had to
