way by the ancients. Herodotus refers

No Duplicate Chandelier.

ibid you ever notice." said the OBJ
serving man, that every public build
ing has chandeliers unlike those of any
other public building? There are no
duplicates. You go into one church
and you see a handsome chandelier
that it would seem worth while to du-
plicate for another church, but you
never find it in another church. You
go into big hall, and you'll observe
some stunning globes and chandelier
fixtures and look for 'em in some other
big hall, but they're not there. don't
know what principle the makers of
chandeliers go on, whether it Is mat
ter Of pride with them not to fit out
two buildings alike or whether con-
tractors for such buildings insist on
exclusive designs, but the chandelier
people must employ some remarkably
versatile artists to think up 80 many
different designs. 1t seems like waste
OF money to make only one of kind,
but it is a pleasure to know that hall
or home may be exclusive in it's chan
deliers."

A Gentleman of the Old School,

Lady Dorothy Nevill in her reminis-

gentleman of the old school, 'in nan
keen shorts, with white stockings and
a brass buttoned blue coat, with big
collar, over beautifully embroidered
waistcoat." But he swore, after the
manner of the age. HE was travelling
at night on the continent alone In a
post chaise when the postboy, while
passing through forest, began to
drive like a man anything but certain
Of his way. My fathers wrath soon
rose, and the explosion of strong Ian
guage which issued from the carriage
so alarmed the driver that, murmuring,

and, having expeditiously unfastened
the traces, made off with his horses at
gallop. My father, believe, passed
the whole night alone in the woods"

Colonial Fear of Lawyers,

In the columns of the New York
Gazetteer Of Sept. 8, 1886. there was
a paragraph lamenting the increase of
lawyers as threatening to the future
prosperity Of the community and de-
grading to freemen. AN honest trade
In former days." said the writer, twas
all that people of common ability and
education were ambitious Of, but now
no profession is genteel but the law
yer and the merchant. The lawyers
are now creeping into every post of
Importance and thrusting themselves
wherever there Is vacancy. Our con-
gress, our assembly, are crowded with
them, and even in our great CONNER
cial convention there are five lawyers
to one merchant"

Barty billiard, who many years ago
lived in small town in northern Yer

bond habits, ready wit and remarkable
facility for extempore rhyming. While
he was sitting one day in the village
store Of what is now part of Mont
pelier among group Of idlers the gen.
ial merchant asked him why he wore
such shockingly bad hat. Barty re-
piled that he could not afford a better
one.
"Come now" said the merchant,
make me a rhyme on a bad hat, and
will give you the best have in my
store" Instantly Barty threw the old
one on the floor and began:
Here lies my old hat,
And pray what of that7
It's as good as the rest Of my rairnent!
If buy me a better
You'll make me your debtor
And send me to Jail for the payment.
The new hat was voted to be fairly

saying, "It's a poor head that can't

Undersell Them.

The Northwestern Lumbermen' S

Several interesting topics came up
for discussion. The one which
brought out the most discussion was
in regard to the mail order houses.
The association bemoaned the fact
that the mail order houses we're max

lumbermen had been making. in sashes

suggested to rectify this state OF

Dogs are more scarce here in Chica-

In some of the swell families, they eat

and are taken out every mornin' for a
walk or automobile ride. If they get
sick there are cat and dog hospitals
where they can get all the medical or
surgical treatment which science has
to offer or money purchase. One lady
as know of had her dog operated on
fer 'pendicitis and another had her
cat down to the hospital to have a
a sore tooth extracted. You don't
need to think but them cat and dog
doctors know how to charge too
Dogs cost their people money alright.
In the first place, no common yellow
scrab cur will do. They have got to
have blue blooded aristocratic purps,
and they cost all the way from $25 to
800 apiece afore they get their eyes
open. Then the food and clothing
and tax to the city is considerable
and the servants that take care of 'em
have got to have something fer bath

it's out in the kentry some places, the
poorer the family the more dogs
they've got. No these fancy dogs
cost some but, don't you know they

Defends Mail Order System.
Spicer, Minn,, Jan. lS, 1907.

EDITOR WILLMAR TRIBUNE;
In a recent issue of your paper 1 see
that &c. S. H." a commercial traveller
is raking down the mail order houses.
Well, 1 am no patronizer of the mail
order houses, butt think they are a
good thing. If it were not for them
we would have been skinned to a
hnlsh, because the retail merchants
are trebling the prices. I shall give
just statement of what l know. A
nine pound copper boiler Is inches
nigh can be obtained from a certain
mail order house for 1922. I priced
one OF them in a store in Paynesville
and found it would cost $3.50. Next
thing is a steel range. 1 bought one
from retail dealer in a neighboring
village for $45; My neighbor bought
one OF the same kind from mail order
house for $18, and his is twice as good
as mine, for mine is burnt out and his
isn't. The commercial traveller tries
to show that the money is sent out of
the country when the farmer sends for
the goods and gets them at reasonable
prices, and he furthermore claims that
it ruins the country when we send out
the money for the goods when we can
get them at less than half price.
would like to ask G. S. 81. if the re-
tailers steal their goods from down
below or if they pay for them. If they
pay for the goods then I can't see
where the difference comes in whether
[ send the money away or somebody
else does it. All there is to it is that
get the goods for less than half price
and knock the commercial traveller
out of business and the retailer has to
go out and do chores or chop wood.
1t would make more laborers and less
dudes. J. G. j.

CREAMERY PATRONS CORNER
RvF T.IOF Lake,

lived on a few acres of land and who
kept the same hog for a number of
years When asked why they did not
butcher it and feed up another every
year they said they were so used to
him AND he was such a good hog that
they didn't care-they had to have a
hog anyway to eat the Stops. We
smile at these folks stupidity, and
yet most of our dairymen keep COWS
year after year without knowing if all
of them0pay for their board.
*x*
Which is the better, to keep ten COWS
that make you profit. over and above
the cost of keeping, of five dollars each,
or to keep one COW that will actually
make profit of fifty dollars over and
above the cost of keeping?
*
How many of you farmers are doing
much better? Look up the old milk
checks, take the whole amount received
from the creamery for the year and
divide it by the number of COWS and
heifers kept on the farm last year, and
see how much you can credit each one.
~
1t is not necessary to buy a whole
lot of high-priced COWS in order for a
farmer to make a success in the dairy
business. The common COW, with
common sense eatment, will do her
part.
*4*
What would some Of our dairyman
do if the good COWS did not pay for the
losses incurred by keeping scrubs?
Xxx
There is forgiveness for the man
who tries his very best but still fails,
but no forgiveness for the man who
never tries.

What does a good, we'll managed
creamery mean to a town? 1t means
prosperity for the farmers and that
in turn means prosperity for the bust
ness men of the town; it means the
prompt payment of spot cash; it means
that the butter produced in the neigh
borhood is sold as fancy creamery
extras instead of as packing stock; it
means that every farm in the vicinity
and every enterprise in the town is
worth more money. It means more
than we can tell.
The standard for cleanliness is diff
ferent in different individuals: What
one person thinks is clean another
might not be satisfied with. The cream
cry patron who takes good care of his
milk and cream because he believes in
it will generally be found to be a
pretty we'll civilized citizen. Visit a
community of dairymen who are de-
llvering only clean, wholesome milk
or cream to the creamery. and you will
inv ariably find set of men who would
almost choose to quit the business
rather than resort to those methods
which do not produce a good, clean
product. In other words, the clearly
creamery patron is the best citizen.
*x*
Do you, Mr.. Farmer, know the profit
of each of your COWS? You undoubt-
eddy know in a general way the profit
that your whole herd is making for
you, but are you sure that every one
of your COWS is giving you a profit?
Better find out about this. Go to YOUR
buttermaker and he will tell you
how to do it.
