Editor Realizes Situation.

1t has come to time when the
business man must take note of the
mail order concerns. They are con,
tinually growing larger and taking
more trade out of the smaller towns.
OF course we all know that it is not
right for Williamsburg people to send
their money to Chicago or New York
or other places for their groceries,
dry goods, etc, when we have people,
neighbors and friends selling the
same goods right at home. The local
merchant has no one to blame but
himself for the condition which now
exists. This may be little hard, but
it is true. Many of the local mer-
chants do not let their old customers,
and prospective new ones, know of
the articles they keep by advertising
them. The mail order houses are the
largest and most successful advertis-
ers in the world, and without adver-
Using they could do no business. Now.
If they can afford to spend hundreds
of thousands of dollars year to keep
their old customers informed and to get
new ones, the local merchant could put
a big "Eink' in the mailorder business
by adopting the same method on a
smaller scale.-Wilkinsburg (Pa)

COMMON MAN is HAPPlEsT.

II Not Conspicuous, He Has His
COmPensatiOns in Life.
We have always been compelled to
believe that the plain plug of a man
Is the happiest man in the world after
ALL His pants may bag at the knees
and he may not be acquainted with the
latest style OF chin whlskers; he may
not hold down a throne or the presi-
dency of railroad; he may not know
the JOY of having brand of socks
named In his honor, but as he potters
along through life he gets about as
much satisfaction out of 1t as his more
distinguished friend.
He knows there is no crank hanging
around. the corner to shoot a hole
through his anatomy or bury a cheese
knife up to the hllt In his person. He
knows when he sits down to his frugal
neal that he can eat his pie with hi(
Iplfe with perfect impunlty, for there
Is no danger of Its having been spiked
with rough on rats.
No doubt it is lots Of fun to be hailed
whenever you step out on your porch
and to have yourself continually mis-
quoted In the newspapers and to know
that as you hang up your crown for the
night and crawl into your luxurious
couch the police force is standing out
In your back yard to keep the admiring
public from throwing bricks through
your window.

Women's work has long been fruit

None of this army Of reformers, how

woman's abandonment of the field of
labor; they are merely in favor of re

somebody manages to find her some
thing to do. In fact, the European
woman Is so busy that she has scarce
