Surely a No.Aeeount poa.

A man in Missouri recently sued a
railway company for damages for
the death Of a hound killed on the
track, says the Youths Companion.
The company defended itself upon
the following points:
Said dog was chasing a rabbit up
defendants tracks in violation of the
game laws
Said rabbit lived on defendants
right of way, and was therefore the
property of the defendant.
Plaintiffs dog was a trespasser,
and was hunting defendants property
without permission.
Said deceased was not much of a
dog, anyhow, or It could easily have
kept out Of the way Of defendants
trains.
And having fully answered, defend

GOOD eve, cuchufifIni

Who can set bounds to the soaring
imagination Of the Celt? An enthusi-
astic New Yorker recently watching a
game of hurling-which resembles la
crosse-between stalwart teams, was
moved to ask President Conway of the
Irish Athletic association how far a
good man could drive the ball.
"Well. I'll tell you" responded Mr..
Conway, with twinkle in his eye that
contradicted his serious speech. "In
the good old days when Cuchuillin was
champion Of Ireland, the king and all
the nobility were assembled at the
great games Of Tailtin. Cuchuillin
struck up hurley ball into the sky,
and then walked off to his pavilion and
took drink Of potheen, and strolled
back to the spot in good time to catch
he ball on his hurley."--Harper's

labor should reap its reward Cost
is an all Important thing In every
product. There is the rawsmaterial,
the expense Of putting the manufac-

matters not what the product is, 1t
is the expense of, preparing 1t for tho
consumer, the price oft raw mate
rial. cost Of manufacture and distribu.
ton that counts. Allowance must be
made for an equitable compensation to
all having part in the production Of
any article Of commerce. We hear
of cut prices. of cheapness in this or
that staple, but when It is given con-
sfderation, where is the cheapness?
Every article has or should have q
standard value. There Is no good
reason why the worker. in the shop
should not have fair and equitable
compensation for his labor. The man.
ufacturer who has thousands of cap

Pay for his time; the man who places
the product in the hands of the re.
taller is entitled to pay according to
his ability as salesman, and the
retailer should have equitable inter-
est on the capital he has invested and
compensation for his time and labor.
Here you have all in nutshell. The
elimination Of the middleman de-
stroys one Of the established customs
and industries. When any article OF
commerce is placed on the market at
lower price than cost Of manufac.
ture and the expense Of placing it be.

loser. Here is food for reflection, and

the business men from working in har-

to be had. and 1t either goes to the
home stores, the mail order houses,
the department stores or some near
by city, or perhaps is let go to a
more progressive neighboring town,
It should be the aim OF every town
to make It's trade territory as large

I business men that counts. One good,

treat each and every one fairly and
honestly.
Let the average farmer think that
The has been given the worst end Ut
q bargain, and he will ponder over the
matter for years. 1t Is not good
idea for a merchant to have a scale
of prices for different customers.

Jones will find It out and feel that he

10 right about 1t, too. There is one
town, q county seat, in a western
state, place of nearly 1900 popula-
ton. It's trade territory extends for
a dozen miles In each direction. The
country has large foreign popula-
tion. They are the best classes of
customers, liberal buyers and not
quibblers over prices. Still, they de-
sire just treatment. "A few years ago

man purchased from him several hun

The farmer wanted harrow, A
price was made-$33. A few days
later the farmer was at a town where
there were but two stores and an ele
vator. He saw the same kind of har

few days later, called on the man
from whom he purchased his nipple
ments and again asked the price OF
the harrow, and was told the same
as before. He then stated that the
same make and kind Of harrow had
been offered him for $3.50 less. After
some talk he was told that he could
have the piece of machinery for the
same price. He did not take it, but
secured the one offered him by the
man In the smaller town. He did not
like the style OF the dealer in the
larger town. In fact, he concluded
that the other storekeepers of the
place were of the same caliber. He
quit trading, and not alone was his
trade lost to the county seat town, bit
the trade of score OF his neighbors
and even they changed their post Of
