A story is going the rounds
about a young man who sent to
a mail order house for a suit of
clothes. In the pocket of the
pants he found the following note:
"Should this fall into the hands
of a good looking young man
who desires to correspond with a
young lady of sweet disposition
address, - etc. The foresaid
mail order man promptly sent a
letter to the address and in a few
days received the following reply:
"Sir-My wife received a letter
from you addressed in her maiden
name. Twenty years ago when
she worked in a factory she may
have written the note. She is
now the mother of seventeen
children, and my lawful wife.
If you do not cut out writing to
her | will take a trip to your town
and make you look like two cents
worth of dog meat. Richards

An exchange says: Times
have changed in many ways.
In former time when a man had
a pain in his stomach his wife
laid hot stove lid on him and
the next morning he was ready
to slop the hogs, feed the calf,
and kick the cat. Now if he
gets an uncomfortable feeling at
his waist band the doctor calls it
appendicitis, lays him on a table,
cuts a hole in his anatomy, and
he-dies, maybe. Again in the
old days you could take your
razor or jack knife and trim
your corns, and put on your
boots and pillow all day. Now if
you even scrape your horney toe,
blood poison set in and off comes
your leg. This is a strenuous
age and don't you forget it.

A few days ago a school
marin" in an out of town dis
trict found it necessary to adj
minister punishment to one of
her pupils, and accordingly she
procured a single and took him
across her knee in the old-fashion-
ed way. The next day the
mother of the child swooped
down upon the teacher like a
thunderbolt from a clear sky and
demanded to know what end she
had in view in furnishing her
child in that manner. The
teacher Indignantly replied that
she had the same end in view
that anybody had when they
spanked a little boy. -Ex.

and wonder, as she does, what in
the world he would do without
her.

Everyone on Camas Prairie is
happy over the news that Jay P.
Graves has purchased the Lewis
ton & Southeastern electric line
and will push it to completion.
Cottonwood people are especially
happy and feel confident that
when Mr.. Graves gets ready to
build the road he will not miss
this place. This is too important
a point to be left to one side by
the road and when the proper
time comes inducements will be
made that Mr.. Graves cannot
afford to overlook. With two
railroads and it's other natural
advantages Cottonwood will be
a pretty good place to tie to.

The menace of the parcels post
extension becomes greater and
greater as one delves deeper-into
the subject and the following
article from Maxevell's Talisman
shows plainly what can be ex-
pected if President Roosevelt and
other advocates of the measure
succeed in getting the bill
through congress:
The Capitalization of trade in
the great cities of the country
resulting from the growth of the
mail order business is a national
menace of far reaching proper
lions.
Population follows trade. If
the business is done in the coun-
try town and village, of supply
ing the needs of the country
side for merchandise and manu-
featured articles of all kinds, the
people who carry on the trade,
the merchant and his helpers, will
live in the town or village.
If, on the other hand, the trade
is done by mail, cutting out the
country merchant, the latter is
finally driven out of business, his
store ceases to exist, his village
home is abandoned, and if he
should continue in the trade, he
and his assistants must move to
the city and become employees
for some great centralized mail
trade institution. where men
are mere machines, fitting like
cogs into one great wheel with
which they must day after day
revolve.
The country merchant, with
his self-reliance, his sturdy in
dividuality, his broad acquaint-
ance, his knowledge of local
affairs and needs, his support for
local institutions, his civic useful
ness, his neighborly offices, his
public services, and his co-opera-
ton in movements for local i'm
provement, has been uprooted
and driven away. There is no
one to take his place. The trade
that gave him his vocation has
gone. And with it has gone the
prosperity of the town or village
which was his home.
The mail trade has destroyed
them.

Champions of the parcels post
bill continually refer to the way
a similar law operates in England
but they do not stop to think
that in this country fully thirty
times as much territory would
have to be covered as is contained
in all the Baitish Isles in order to
serve only twice the population
of that country. A monster
deficit would be certain to occur
and the people at large would
have to foot the bill. The parcels

The finance committee made a

Dill was presented some time ago,
but the question arose whether or

city. According to the report of the
committee, the walks were not so
laid, and it was advised that the bill
be rejected. The report of the COM
mlttee was thereupon adopted.

the extension was made.
This cleared up all the business
