And Fan was an heiress. 1t was SO
easy to love Fan. And she would

unforeseen calamity should set him
free. Perhaps she would even marry
the hated Rembert, the too-eloquent
Rembert, who had had hand in his
undoing!
For some weary days thereafter
pickey was led about and shown off
by his fancee, manfully trying to look
as little miserable a. possible, even in
dim way to make love. That he did
it badly he knew, and it did not help
him in the least to see her pause and
look at him with interest at such
times. 1t was a telegram that broke
the spell and proved the signal for the
break;ngIp of the house party. Miss
Garner read it at the breakfast table,
and twisted the yellow slip thought

you know. How tiresome! Dickey,
will you drive me down to catch the
twelve-thirty train?"
There were explanations Of sorrow
on all sides, and one cried out, "Oh,
well, if you are going, think I shall
leave in the morning"
In few moments Mrs. Arnaud knew
that her house party would be fitting
before another day had closed, but she
smiled. 1t had been a great success.
Dickey's nerves thrilled little as
he gathered up the reins. They were
all crowded around her and could not
let her go. How popular she was,
after all-and how stunning! At least
it was something that this splendid
creature was going to be his wife, and

BOY USED THE MATCHES.
Result was Friction Developed In Two
Places.

Il have just had demonstration Of
how man may run into danger by
seeking to avoid it," said a resident
of Washington recently. n. short
time ago determined to do away with
the common parlor match in my home,
as it is more likely than others to set
the house on fire by being stepped on
or by being used by children. I gath.
cred up all the old matches and sup
piled holders for the safeties and put
them about where the match safes had
been. felt that | had reduced the
danger of fire at least SO per cent from
that particular source
Unfortunately this procedure was
observed by a three-year-old. The
safety matches may have appeared to
him as new form of toy, as they
were put in just about the time Santa
Claus made his visit down the Chin
ney. At any rate, on the day after
Christmas he scampered down from
the third floor in a great state of ex.
element. No clear idea of the cause
of his alarm could be had until later
it was discovered that the curtain and
window shade of the bath room on the
third floor had been completely burn
ed and the woodwork scorched, but
fortunately after that damage was
done the fire went out of it's own ac-
cord
''The practical lesson I drew from
the incident was that the spartng Of
the rod spoils the child, and the three
year-old was given another demonstra-
ton of the danger of burning matches
by having the seat of his little trous-
ers burned with the sole of his moth
er's slipper in an old-fashioned way"

try dealer, who through cont etition
was forced to pay the value Of the
butter, eggs, ETC., will be a thing of
the past, and in his place will appear
the fat, gloating face of the capitalist,
in whose benumbed conscience there
is no thought of pity, whose breast
contains instead of a heart a great
lump of cold stony gold, whose one
ambition is to build up a greater for
tune than the world has ever seen,
and who cares naught for the tears or
trials, woes or weeping of his victims
so long as he can squeeze little more
of the coveted glittering treasure from
f1lm.
Again, the dollar spent with the
local dealer stays in the community
where it blesses the spender over and
over again. The merchant pays 1t to
the butcher for meat, the butcher gets
his bread of the baker and therefore
drops the dollar into the bakers till,
the baker pays it to the miller for
flour. and the latter buys his grain
from the farmer, so the dollar once
more iingles merrily in the farmers
trousers pocket. But spend 1t with
the mail order house and it is gone
never to return. 1t goes to build up
the great commercial interests OF New
York or Chicago. Does it pay the
farmer to send his money to help
beautify and build up these great
cities? Has he not more interest in
identifying and building up his own
section of the country? If not, he
should. If place is good enough for
a man to live in and to make his
money in, it is good enough for him to
spend his money in. Who helps build
the churches, school houses, Streets
bridges, ETC.? Does the mail order
house help? Will they give a dollar
to educate the farmers children, or
donate anything to support the farm
er's widow or orphans? Do they help
to pay the taxes, or add anything to
bring comfort or necessary improve
ments in the country places? Then
why should the farmer patronize
them? By actual test it has been
found that the same goods can be pro-
cured as cheaply, if not at more rea-
sonable prices, at home. Trade with
your neighbor, whose interests are
your interests, whose hand is always
ready to assist you in time of trouble.
Patronize those who patronize you.
Use the f1ashy catalogue of the mail
order house to help kindle the kitchen
fire, and keep your money at home
where it will benefit you and your
