"Bo" Blake a Suicide.

A special dispatch from New York says that Col. John Y. Fil- more Blake, formerly of Arkan- sas, whose name became fam ous during the Boer War, committed suicide by inhaling gas in his rooms in that city Thursday of last week. His friends say that reduced circumstances caused him to take his life.
 Col. Blake, who was popularly known as ''Bo" Blake, was raised at Bentonville, Benton county, this state. His parents moved from Texas to Bentonville while he was quite young, and he spent his youth and early manhood at Bentonville. He attended the Arkansas Industrial University which was established about the same time that Blake was grow ing into manhood, and after studying at that institution, re- celved an appointment from Ark ansas as cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point. He was graduated from the military academy in 1870, and was first assigned to the Sixth Calvary, winch was then doing. service m Texas. He remained in the army about ten or twelve years, and went to South Africa. Mr. Blake became one of the con- fidental men of Cecil Rhodes, whose various interests extended over practically all of South Af- rica. For some reason he quar- reled with Rhodes, and when the Boer war broke out III 1899 Blake cast his fortune with the Boers against the British. He was

The mail order business iS the quack doctor of commerce. It promises much and guarantees nothing. Like patent medicine the directions are always on the inside and you have to buy d non-returnable package before you can find out what they are.
 No mail order house helped to build the little white school house in your district or turnpike the road just past your door. No mail order house ever took you by the hand when you were ln distress and told you to let that little account go until after har- vest next year. No mail order house ever sold you q vehicle and spent every cent of its profits right III the community where you and your neighbor could get it all back again. No mail order house ever showed it's patentleath- er shoes under your table and re- ioiced with you when you were glad, nor spoke encouraging words Tn affiiction. nor stood With uncovered head beside the graves when your children died.
 No. the mail order house k af- ter money. Every dollar 1t gets it's hands on will be lerked out of vour neighborhood forever. The mail order house n1ay bear on its face the semblanee of friendship, but no human heart beats under its cloak of hypocricy. Senti- ment is to 1t unknown. The whole institution k as cold and bloodless as corpse.
 All the mail order houses Ill Christendom would not increase the value of your farm a cent. They are parasites to whom life is only possible as long as they can suck blood out of the commu- mites, to the upbuilding of which they contri ibute nothing. They create no local market for the products you have for sale. They have no property III your county which can be assessed to help bear your burden of taxa tion.
 Your local dealer needs neither advocate nor defense. His meth ods rest upon principles that have built up in this country a system of internal commerce which Is the marvel and admira- tion of the world. His business

 Houses Will Not Do

K legitimate because it's success contributes to the general pros perity of the community that built it ID.
 Your local dealer stands ready to duplicate every offer so >educ- tively set fort in the catalogues of mail order houses and more, he will trump the best trick the mail order house ever played If you will put down spot cash and accept from him class of goods devoid of respectable ancestry, and upon which no reputable
 manufacturer will place his name He can sell cheap goods, too. if you will buy them from him with your eyes shut. He can meet the best price ever made by mail order house If you will plank down the money and accept what he gives you without question and without recourse: but you must not expect him to be in his place of business every day in the year ready and willing toI make good any defect, ready and willing to stand back of every article he sells with his own rep utation and the warranty of a re- sponsible company.
 Honestly, now, don't you really pat yourself on the back when you spend your money i'll such way that in supplying your own wants you help build up the neighborhood in which you live? Of course you do, and you act on that idea yourself, but the trouble k you don't talk It enough to your friends.
 Stand by your local dealer as he stands by you with his time, his skill and his money. He helps to build up the community and he makes 1t d better place for you both to live. His own success depends upon your pros perity. He has no use for may ericks unbranded junk. He swears by the goods branded with the trademark of the most skilled manufacturers on earth the like of which no other gener- ation ever saw, and he has an abiding faith in the theory that the best vehicles in the world to- day are none too good for that major general of all the indus tries the American citizen.-Ex- change.
