Burn the mail order catalogues
and be reciprocal in your business
affairs. The home merchant should
have the first chance at your trade
at least. He is a man who is
never overlooked when there is a
collection to be taken up.-Bryan
Eagle.
The above is in line with advice
given by this paper a hundred or
more times during the past few
years and while the practice has
not entirely ceased by any manner
or means, there has been consider
able let-up in sending away pro-
miscuously for those articles that
can be purchased at home. Pa
tronizing mail order houses is but
species OF knocking
your home town. OF course this
has no reference to those lew arti-
lies not generally found in towns

That's Where the Driver Had the Best
Of the Preacher.

A New York clergyman. who often
spends his vacation in fishing the
streams OF the Adlrondacks, was on
one trip adopted by a handsome set
ter dog, which insisted on following
him from camp to camp, as he moved
along the stream.
One day he met a party of men
working upstream with native guide.
The guide Immediately recognized the
dog as his own property.
Trying to steal my setter, are
you?" he shouted at the clergyman.
I'll have you to Jail for this! There's
law in the woods just as big as you
have in the city"
The clergyman endeavored to ex-
plain that he was an unwilling com.
panion Of the dog, which had refused
to be driven away, but to little effect
until he added a two.dollar bill to his
arguments.
ITS queer what strange things hap
pen to man up here" he said to the
stage-driver who later carried him
away from the woods. ''That is the
first time l was ever accused of steal
ing dog"

ment's pause. For myself, sir, have
