large number of manufacturers and
all have expressed Willingness to

Invalid Girl Marries
Thinking Death Near

Yakima, that these mail order hous-
es have been driven out of the east
by the competition of the home mer-
chants who have convinced their pat
rons that just as good prices may
be obtained at home where the &C
tual article purchased is on display
and where insists and other defects
may be remedied without trouble.
AS evidence of the truth of that
statement it is learned that the stock
of these concerns has fallen in value
nearly half owing to decreased bust
ness, hence their western campaign.
All things being equal there is no
doubt but that Yakima people would
much prefer to trade with their To-
cal merchant. He is willing to eX-
tend credit, change articles not salts
factory and render thousand other
accommodations that cannot be OBJ
tanned through mail order house.
He is on the ground. contributes to
the welfare Of the community and
makes that community desirable
place to live.
After some investigation the Her.
aid has ascertained that upon arti-
cles which must be shipped by freight
local merchant. That is fact not
generally believed, but it is true.
Upon small articles which are ship
ped by mail and on certain standard
articles of known repute which the
mail order house uses as decoys or
as leaders, the advantage of price
might be slightly in favor of the Chi
cago firms.
Now as means Of coming to an
understanding upon this very import
ant matter, as means of sitting the
problem to the bottom and showing
exactly where the advantage of trade
lies, it appears that it would be we'll
to adopt plan which the Herald
has presented to a number of the
leading merchants in this city, who
gave it their unqualified approval.
The situation is simply this: people
want TO buy where they can buy to
the best advantage, price and quail
ty considered; merchants want the
trade and the community as whole
wants the money kept at home.
Therefore the Herald suggests that
each merchant invite every possessor
of mail order catalogue to come to
his store and compare prices on any
article that he desires to purchase
and let the clerks or proprietor in
clude the postage or freight as the
case may be and then in case the
home price is disproportionately
greater than the foreign price, as
sure the customer that he is perfect
ly free to buy away from home.
This policy has been put to the
test all over this country and wher-
ever it has been put to the test it has |
resulted in the discontinue of the |
mail order business and in favor of |
the local merchant. People want the
facts and when they have been made |
to understand in black and white |
that the situation is as just stated,
there will be no more difficulty with |
mail order houses in this community. |

ENGAGED BEFORE Her INJURY
Bride Now Thinks She Wronged Her
Loyal Lovcr-Says He
Deserved Better.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 21.--It is sad
honeymoon that Mrs. VERNE Mirtzwa
is spending at 1891 Grattan street.
She was married only a few days ago
while she was too sick to stand up.
Her spine was injured five years ago
by fall and she has been an invalid
ever since. She may never be able to
stand alone and she fears she may
live only short time.
She was sitting in a rocking chair
when interviewed, and her face bore
the look of patient resignation that
is seen often in the hospital wards
for incurables. She told how August
Mirtzwa came from Hannibal last
week and of how they We're married
in haste.

Did She Do Right?

Mrs. Mirtzwa's fingers plucked at
the fringe on the shawl that covered
her shoulders and big tear dropped
from her eye.

it. \ man SO good as Gus deserves
a wife who is better than an invalid.
But did think ! was going to die.

two weeks without him. And so |

arose early, got shaved and gave the
barber $40 gold piece, threw showers
of half dollars to the street urchins
to scramble for, bought a fine stock
farm for $4,000 and presented it to
an old friend who had always wanted
it, bought scent cigar and smoked
it Dlissfully, picked up boy and will
take him through Europe on an auto

cial orders been quartered with their
men in readiness to respond to an
emergency call.

FENDER DROPS CLOSE no THE GROUND.

utterly useless when put to the test.
This can be accounted for by reason
Of the common custom Of supporting
the fender too high above the ground
50 that it will be sure to clear all OBJ
structions. In emergencies, when the
fender Is needed to prevent injury to
a person accidentally caught on the
track, it proves valueless, rolling over
the unfortunate instead of picking him
up. The fender shown here Is normal
ly supported about a foot above the
ground. When the mOtorman sees a
person on the track and Is unable to
stop the car in time to avoid an acct
dent he releases convenient handle
on the dashboard and the fender drops
to within an inch or two Of the ground.
1t is thus in position to pick up the
victim instead of passing over him.
Electricity is employed to operate the
movement of the fender.
