Catalogue Siren Lured Farmer.

A farmer living near a Kansas town
ordered a stove from a Chicago house.
The picture looked pretty good, and the
price seemed reasonable. Cash was
sent with the order, and the stove ar
rived from the factory in Ohio a few
weeks later. tt was carried home after
a few dollars freight bill was paid.
Taking it off the wagon, a hole was
broken through the bottom of it. A
letter was sent to the concern asking
that repairs be sent. A reply was re-
celved to the effect that the agent of
the railroad company reported that the
stove was delivered in good condition,
and in fact, the farmer had signed a
statement TO that effect. But if the
farmer would send the broken part,
charges prepaid, and pay the express,
age on the repairs sent, they would be
glad to do the mending, SAYS Retail
Merchant.
In the meantime the farmer needed
a stove badly. He went to the local
man, there was shown a stove
which looked very much better than
the one he had at home, and the price
was a dollar less, not counting the
freight charges. In fact, the stove
was a better one. The farmer boncbt
the stove, told the merchant what q fool
ne was for sending away for one, and
planned his wife and daughter for do
ing SO. He said that he had done with
the catalogue houses and since then
mas been a staunch advocate of home
trading. he wrote to the catalogue
mouse onerlng to return the stove If
they would allow him half the amount
that he paid them for it. Thew renl;ed
that they were sorry, but would ex.
mango other goods for the stove, pro-
v1dlng the far mer would pay freight
charges. This provoked the farmer to
such an extent that he stored the stove
put In the barn and charged up the
amount he paid for it to experience.

When skies are cold with wintry stars,
and hills
Are white with yester-even's snow, and
lie
In ghostly state beneath the ghostly
sky;
When many a gusty blast the darkness
fills
With ever lonely, homeless sound, and
chills
The window panes with frost when
cracking fly
The sparks about the hearth, and glow
and die,
While In the pause his note the cricket
trills;
Oh. then how dear is home! and what a
sense
OF rudy warmth and peace beguiles
the mind
And what a charm in listening while
the wind
Blows fierce outside, through winters
starry tents,
And dies away around the window
pane,
And ever rises loud, and dies again!

Christmas morning. And then came
school, college, and then married life.
When the ~scribbling 1T was on him
Pearl used to draw her low wicker chair
close to his writing table, knitting, on
daintily lingering white material, soft
and downy and fluffy for the prospective
wearer, and the few remarks she made
seemed to chime In and identity them
selves with what he was writing; but,
OF course. all this happened Eve years
ago.
One odd little trick Pearl had, and
Noel remembered it this evening-and
missed It.
busily she used to lay the tips Of her
myers upon his right hand-just where
hand meets wrist. She did not incom-
mode him in the least. He declared her
touch inspired him; they were such pink
tipped fingers, and so small, and he had
oren written with the tiny touch on his
wrist almost unconsciously-only peep
ing up from time to time at a sweet
a face, into deep violet eyes love lit.
But, of course. this was five years
ago.
so ne wrote on, feeling a little bit
."AAJ tudl OHum naQ not stayed, for at
ter all he only had another half hours
work before him, and then they could sit
\ chat. and perhaps drown the sound
OF the bells that he knew would ring out
In a few hours.
He was just in the frame OF mind to
summon his landlady's children, but ex-
cept for himself. the house was empty.
Ihere was a Christmas Eve party going
on, and Mrs. Marsh and her progeny
were attending it.
He had been writing for half an hour
since Chum had left him, and felt the
old familiar touch on his wrist. It was
imagination of course, he did not ever
turn his head, and then he was looking
into blue eyes, In the round golden-curled
framed face of a boy of four, who laugh
ed up at him and presented a rosebud to
be kissed.
Goodness, child-where on earth do
you come from? and who-who brought
you? What Is your nameY'
"Eric," and the child began to make
preparations for climbing a lofty knee.

"Who brought you here. Baby Eric
How did you Gomez"
Noel felt like an Irish member of Par
Lament, for mo answer was given" but
a wee form, full Of hugs and kisses, got
fast hold upon him, and said gravely
and yet with a sweet air of command:
Just come'd-and now If you're moi
too busy, mister Father"
"Yes, my son."
"P'raps-I'd better go to bed"
"But, my child-my little son-who
brought you here? where is your moth
er?' and the tall man, suddenly releasing
his frst-born, paced up and down. OF
course, Chum had left the door open,
and someone had told the child to walk
straight inland the child had-straight
in.
The author-his tiny son was on the
floor now, saying things to the cat, and ii
deserved every word, being a cat that
ticks stamps off letters, and loves bacon
and boiled eggs-thrust his hands deep
into his pockets and looked down, sad
eyed, at little Sunny-face.
Eyes, perhaps you had better come to
bed"
If Chum would only come, If some
thing would only happen to break the
silence, a silence only cleft by the sigh
of a child.
The church was only at the end of the
street.
He could hear the bell-ringers shut
fling along the frosty pavement, in a few
minutes-and he bent to his work.
Half asleep, half awake, he was con-
scious Of the old, almost forgotten touch
upon his wrist-a dream doubtless--but
he could not shake it of, and then he
looked down.
kneeling as of yore beside him, blue
eyes tear-dimmed, was Pearl.
II have returned, Noel" It was a
quavering little voice, but it thrilled him.
How like she was to their child.
And then the bells FLASHED forth their
message. peace on Earth, Good Win
Towards Men," and to two hearts they
carried a sweeter, deeper message still.
No word was spoken. A small figure,
In a smoking jacket that reached to his
heels, stood at the dividing door, an
eager face turned to either.
And husband and wife kissed silently.

Increase the salaries of all fedora

Change the system of promotion il

service.
Pass an employers liability law

the employer alike.
Enact laws which will effectually
guard against the deforestation of the
nation.
These are some of the prominent fea.
lures in the message of President
Theodore Roosevelt to the congress
which opened it's session yesterday. The
president is more reserved in his mes.
sage than customary and is less radical
He has condemned the Sherman law
and takes the position that all com
binations and mergers of trusts should
not be prohibited under the penal
statute, pointing out that some of these
combinations work directly for the gen.
eral good of the public.
The message devotes considerable
time to the subject of the courts and
the attacks which have been made on
them in the recent campaign and he
sets out that while there may be in
competents in office it is through the
members of the court that reforms
must come, as the Judiciary is appointed
for life. The president takes the posi-
ton that the conditions modify the
laws of the nation and what may have
been good law so years ago is modi-
fed by the trend of public opinion and
the circumstances.
The president s position in relation
to army promotions will undoubtedly
cause a furore in army circles, as he
makes the direct charge that some of
the officers who are elevated to the
higher offices have no ability to COM
mand.
Following the swearing in of Senator
Cummins of Iowa, and the reading of
the message, the senate adjourned.
The president has decided to re-
appoint w. d. Crum (colored) collector
OF the port at Charleston, South Caro-
lima. 1t was the original appointment
of Crum that caused such a furore in
the senate three years ago.
President-elect Taft is at the national
capital.

hsi wife to return and live with him,
Charles Klinkert, manager of the state
fish hatchery at Twisp, Wash, shot and

MESSAGE
DELIVERED
PRESIDENT TELLS CON
GRESS HIS IDEAS.
CURRENCY, CORPORATION SUPER
VISION, LABOR AND COURTS
DULY CONSIDERED.

Washington, Dec. 9.-President
Roosevelt s message to congress was
read in the house and senate Tuesday,
1t was long, but devoted principally to
currency, corporation supervision, labor
and the courts. Obviously it was in
tended as a final resume of the policies
by which Roosevelt has become one of
the most noted of the presidents in up
holding and as such is a vigorous and
statesmanlike document. There is little
left before congress that the president
had not already urged to enactment,
and these advices are largely repeated.
President Roosevelt s last mes
sage to congress is introduced by a
financial statement showing that in
seven years and three months of his
administration there has been a net
surplus of nearly 500, OOO, 900 of re-
celpts over expenditures, a reduction of
the interest bearing debt by 500, OOO,-
600 in spite of the extraordinary ex-
pense of the Panama canal and a saw
ing of nearly $4,000, 900 in the annual
interest charge. There have been no
new taxes and no increase of taxes; on
the contrary, some taxes have been
taken off; and there has been a reduc-
ton of taxation so far as governed by
federal regulations.
The president points out the imper-
fections of the present currency sys-
tenn and hopes that the currency COM
mission will be able to propose a sys-
TEN that will do away with existing
defects.
The reading Of the message began in
the senate at 1915, and in the house
a few minutes later. The galleries of
both houses were well filed.
