tired, hungry and with lump In my
throat as big-well, seemed to me
about the size of an ordinary hens egg.
l had taken no money with me that
morning and had never thought Of
asking for credit. / had neither soda
nor salt at home, and, as J am a
Southerner aud consider soda biscuit
the staff Of life, | could not go home
without the Necessary ingredients for
their manufacture. 50. instead Of
going home / went to Cortez. The
first store went to they could not buy
anything, but the next place the
merchant said he guessed he could
take the butter, but could not buy the
honey, however, he would take it and
put it in the cellar and II he could sell
it then he would pay me. OF course
gladly accepted the offer and with
81. 90 worth of kitchen necessitiss
wended my way homeward. But the
troubles had before / got home would
I'LL book and would not give any
reason for my patrpnizing mail-order
houses. After got rested from my
efforts wrote to Telluride, Ophir and
Rico and found that had very good
market for most everything we had to
sell, and when l started to market
again my load was Grated ready to
ship; and when got my check I sent
it to mail-order house.
Now, my dear Star, you are no MORE
In favor of encouraging home manu-
facturers than I am, and am proud
Of our flour that is manufactured here
in the valley, but If the miller should
go to the merchant and say, ~ have
-four here that is good and it is manu-
factured here in this county; it will
cost you little more than the Denver
-four, but l think it your duty to buy
Of me SO as to encourage me to go on
with the milling BUSINESS as 1t will be
good thing for the country" think
the merchant would say 'if you can't
compete with the Denver -four you
had better quit the mill" Any way,
have faint remembrance of having
seen Denver, Windsor and several
other brands of -four in the store here,
while the farmer has bushels Of wheat
that he cannot SELL
My mother always taught me to ''do
unto Others as l wanted them to do
unto me;" but had an uncle that
taught me "to do unto others as they
have done unto you," and uncle's
teachings were always the easier for
me to follow.
There are only few small branches
of the "root of all evil" that comes nv
way, but when they do am not usually
indebted to the home merchant for
them, and feel justified in sending
them wherever / can the most advan-
tageously.
1t is very kind of the merchants to
credit the farmer, but 1 think the
farmer would be better off il he could
sell as he bought and.not buy anything
he could not pay for; but am not
supposed to know everything and am
willing to reform-if can be taught
that am in the wrong.

Endeaxor Entertainment.

dhe noise of the audience was made to hush.
When the program was handed by Miss Mary
= Rush
10 Mr.. Swarner, who announced No, l.
And then 1t was that the performance begun.
The song that was sung by the girls was replete
With sentiments noble and thoughts that were
sweet;
Their voices rang out rich, clear aud strong,
A treat to the crowd was their beautiful song.
Miss Rush then proceeded the house to delight.
A story oI transition from a fife the poor live
To one which only great riches can give.
Next NaIt came reading BY Judge Q. D. Pyle,
Gave us the tale of Christmas tree loaded
With bear, and how the whole thing exploded.
Prof. Bartlett then made a good hit,
By reading paper full of rare wit,
He told us of things that have happened round
town,
The doings Of small men and men of renown.
He told us Dolores has a gold roaster,
A Jolly good man. as well as a boaster;
He told OF young man, sly asa mouse.
Who said he was awfully ANXIOUS fora House.
He told q thingp too numerous to mention
4he- nesting, fof instunce, Of the Boosters con-
How they intend to make the world understand
That old Moutesuma's the best in the land.
He told to of THINGS more truthful than witty
That in addition to mountain peaks green
Foxes and Bear could often be seen.
At the dialogue led by Mrs Burswin,
The way the crowd laughed was ALMOST sin,
Then the seven little girls, too, acted SO we'll,
To say which did best no one can tell.
Wasn't that nice was the one exclamation,
Heard after Miss Gordons recitation.
The little boys, too. did we'll, all the same,
These little speeches are the first steps to fame.
Little Alice Lynton, was the queen of the hour,
Her voice was as sweet as the fragrance of a
flower,
Her eyes sparkled bright, her cheeks were rosy
As to the big crowd her little speech she said,
Then came that duet, by Judge Pyle and his
wife,
It seemed to me then twas the treat of my. life |;
A tender cord it touched In memory's refrain;
How it carried us back to the past again.
Such entertainments are blessing to town,
It places moral sentiment on higher ground.
The z. =. Society does much good for the
For things that are noble, it dares take a staVi.

Communicated.
Dear Old STAR

As you have taken me to task,
through your columns for patronizing
mail-order houses, want to tell little
of my side of the question, as we all
know there are two sides to most
questions.
In the first place, never was in the
habit of sending to mail-order houses
for goods until came to Montezuma
county three years ago. I had little
ready cash at that time. found prices
here little higher than had been
used to but 1 said II will pay the price
and trade with the home merchants
and get acquainted, and then when
have anything to sell 1 will know
where to go to sell it." !.
So things rocked along peaceably for
a year when one morning In August ]
found ready cash was getting low, but
that did not worry me any for we had
good crop aud plenty Of farm products
to sell. So l put old Molly to the bug
gy and took 100 pounds of honey, 100
pounds of cabbage and few pounds
of butter and started for Dolores, feel
ing glad that I had found such ga ood
place to live. 1 took my produce first
to the store where had spent $500 in
cash-thought, of course, as they knew
me for good customer they would be
the best purchasers-but they did not
need anything I had to sell, and told
me to take my cabbage back home and
make krout of them and to stay with
the bees as there was good money in
the bee business here, aud the weather
was SO warm that they could not
handle butter. tired every place in
Dolores that thought there would be
any likelihood of selling any of my
load. but did not sell single pound Of
anything. About Noon / started home
