THE COUNTRY STORE.

tlon learned by minds too youthful in
the schools is comprehended only by
contact and discussion with more
and broader minds. The colleges are
mainly given to other subjects.
Schools anG colleges aid but do not
ripen.
Half a century ago the country store
was in its community the best lyceum.
1t is yet in rural districts far removed
from great cities, and we trust its pow
or may return to all of the counties of
Pennsylvania. The great power was
first assailed by Local Option legisla-
ton passed in 1870. Many of the rural
districts voted for Local Option; none
of the cities. What was the result?
Men who saw in this drastic legislation
an infringement of their personal
liberty, transferred their custom from
country and hamlet to the cities.
There they could buy all the whisky
needed, and cover it in baskets filled
with groceries and dry goods.
This was blow to every country
store. 1t led to lessened receipts, t.
corresponding loss of stock and sup.
plies Prior to 1870 everything was
kept in the country store, from pins to
silks, from pills to paregoric. The de
mand for dry goods ceased, as it did
for many things The Local Option of
1870, the same as that proposed last
year was repealed by an indignant
people alter three years, and the coun-
try store did its part in the repeal.
There were few taverns or breweries to
aid.
Now invention comes TO the aid of
the country store and the old-fasbioned
country inr, an institution, which was
really public benefit. The automo-
bile is is more than fad; it has come
to stay. 1t seeks the country road
side and patronizes the country store
and country inn. If traverses great
distances.
Pennsylvania's best days were when
the country store flourished, as Eng
lands best men were econtemporaneous
with the wayside inn.
A blow against the country store was
attempted in the Pennsylvania Legisla.
ture in 1903. The Bureau of Pharmacy,
which had taxed for its own use all
druggists, tried to subject the country
store to exalnination and fee. Cooper,
of Delaware County attacked the Bill
in ten minute speech filed with ex-
posures, and after a winters lobbying
it was defeated by vote of 1872 to 10.
This proved the death of Bureau fees.
Cooper represented the Country store.
Other men will rise to repeal mercan-
tile taxes and foster an institution
which never die. II.

In former years it was better known
than now, and better appreciated. 1t
was much of the life ofevery rural ham
let and district. 1t was and to a cer-
tain extent is yet the best school for
every countryman who has reached the
age of maturity. Our common schools
and academies and colleges teach moth
ing as to government, and if they do, it
but reaches minds too young to com
prehend. 1t is the conflict OF mind
which teaches government, and upon
the counter and around the stove of the
country store it is best taught. There
is always someone there who is in con-
tact with public men and public docu-
ments, who is posted. He gives out
his knowledge; it is questioned by
bright but generous minds, and the
truth is reached at last. This leads
others to initiate the best informed
man. and the result is the education of
all the surroundings of the country
store in the art of government. The
boys are there ready to walk or ride
home with their fathers or uncles after
a we'll spent evening. They thus ac-
quire an ambition not dreamed of in
any school, and as they grow older
they apply it and become certainly
useful citizens, and frequently men of
distinction.
Daniel Webster extoledthe country
store as the best school known to New
England. There ne learned to think,
and these thoughts led to the finest
language known to our history. and to
the most patriotic. Clay gathered his
greatness. not in forums but at the
country store. So did Henry Wilson,
the cohbler of Massachusetts,. AleXan-
der Stevens, Of Georgia, loved the
country store, visited all in his State,
there learned the many idioms pecul-
lar to the South, and this knowledge
was the foundation Of his great good
sense and his masterfui popularity.
Lincoln found his first inspiration in
the country store, and when he rode
his lawyers circuits these were his
favorite stopping places, and here he
would swap his quaint stories with
those from the counter. All of our
early rural great men We're indebted
to the country store, first for informa-
ton, next for political support.
It is a pity that the power of the
country store was ever impaired. 1t
was the best educator, and is yet. You

practical application in the Churches,

touches upon, puts his foot in it be-

The Cattle King.


"A king, a cattle king" was what
they called him, this man who came
loaded with diamonds and free with
money, to spend the winter in mild
southern city. A king, and yet no
royal blood in his veins! A self-made
monarch-and his subjects2 Only the
lowing herds in the far-off west. His
kingdom the frozen plains where his
cattle are dying. For it is cheaper to
lose half his subjects than to feed and
protect the wholel He has left his ice
bound home, has closed his ears to the
suffering beasts; he wraps his great coat
close about him and seeks pleasure!
Can he shut out the cries that are
piercing the winter nights beyond that
mountain chain out towards the setting
sun? Do not dreams of the cattle
his subjects suffering, starving, freez-
ing and dead, haunt the pillow of this
king? Murder! Surely this king did
no murder. There is no blood on his
hands. He only let his dumb beasts
starve or freeze to death-that is all
But there is another Kingl-a King
whose kingdom is the Universe And
the cattle upon thousand hills are Hisl"
How will the cattle king stand on
the day when deeds stand witness for
and against us, and balanced against
his gold will be the cattle-God's cattle
which he left on the plains without
food or shelter, to die of slow starvation,
that he might have more gold. New

PEWS FOR OLD MAIDS.
Quaint Distinctions In the Old Hat
field Meeting House.

Around three sides, about on a level
with the pulpit, in the old meeting
house at Hatfield, Mass, extended the
galleries, reached by staircases on the
northeast and southeast corners, where,
In the front seats, sat the singers, ire
bles on the north and basses on the
south and counters and tenors on the
east. The next two rows of seats were
occupied by children, girls in the north
and boys in the south, and frolicsome
youngsters they WERE if we may judge
by the frequency with which the town
was obliged to renew the brass tips to
the slaves of the tithing men, three of
whom were always on duty to keep the
youth from disorder.
Behind the children and still higher
in square pews against the wall sat the
young men and maidens, the latter on
the north and the former on the south
One gallery pew was reserved for col
Ored men and one for cOlored women,
and, queerest of all, high square pew
over the north stairway was assigned
to old maids and a similar pew over
the south stairs to old bachelors. Just
how many years these two classes had
to number before they were promoted
from the lower seats in the synagogue
the records do not state, but that they
sat in those exalted seats Samuel
Dwight Partridge. to whom we are in
debted for the description of the old
meeting house, assures us is beyond
question. The square pews on the floor
were assigned to householders, accord
