TRADE THAT WAS CALLED OFF.
Ministers Really Good Reason for Not
Purchasing Horse.

II saw an instance recently" re-
marked Senator Carter of Montana,
"of one way to get along with Indians
when It comes to a horse deal. One
Of the missionaries who makes occa-
sional excursions into the Crow coun-
try by way OF getting on friendly
terms with the tribe, commissioned
two Of the men to get him swift,
strong and presentable riding horse,
and he stipulated that he would pay a
hundred dollars for the kind Of horse
described. The braves soon appeared
with a horse, swift, strong and q
splendid looking animal, but, alas! 80
vicious that he had to be dubbed al
most to insensibility before he would
be saddled. Then the Indians blind
folded him to get on the bride.

but edited by the conduct OF the
braves and fierce temper of the horse.
Still. the Indians insisted that they
had brought the horse described and
they demanded the hundred. The mis-
sionary explained that though the
horse could go like the wind. the rider
ran the risk of having his neck broken
before he dismounted. More than that,
the missionary was not strong enough
to beat the horse as the Indians had.
Besides, he finished tearfully, How
can I blindfold the horse whenever
want to mount?' The Indians replied
that all he had to do was to take OIL
his shirt and tie it over the horses
head. But conceive said the man OF
God, how I would look being com
PEELED to take of my shirt every time
got on the horse. Why, you Indians
know that go among whites as well
as Indians, and women as well as
men. It would cover me with shame
to pull of my shirt that way. can
not buy this horse The Crows
thought it over and finally gave up on
the ground that it would not be seem
ly for the preacher to have to take on
his garments promiscuously, so the
deal was off amicably."

LINING UP AGAINST BRYAN.

Some months ago it looked as if
Colonel Bryan's denomination could not
be prevented. Today the indications
are that he is going to have the fight of
his life to win the much-coveted honor
of leading his party in third presiden-
tial contest.
The biggest state in the Union when
it comes to number of delegates, after
vigorous fight for and feminist instruc-
tons, selected an unpledged delegation.
As goes New York so will go a number
of Eastern states.
Delaware instructed its delegates to
Denver for Judge Gray, even after he
had sent written protest against any
such action on the part Of the Democra-
cy of his home state.
johnson will have the solid and en-
thusiastic support of Minnesota, in the
Democratic National convention.
Hoke Smith is being put forward not
only as the favorite son of Georgia,
whose governor he is, but as the favor
ed of other Southern States.
Naturally with so much opposition
developing to his candidacy Colonel
Bryan is being put in a position where
he is going to have to fight hard for the
nomination, with the tide running
strongly against him. He could easily
win more than half the delegates, but
when it comes to prevailingon full two
thirds of them to enlist under his ban
ner, the proposition is anything but an
easy one.
With practically every Southern and
Eastern newspaper of any consequence
insisting that third Bryan nomination
means certain defeat for the party, no
wonder that the practical politicians are
lining up against Bryan instructions, to
the end that when the delegates get
together they may be free to pick
leader who is not loaded down with so
many heavy handicaps as The Peerless
would be constrained to labor under.
NANS ""iiI ooiilSollS W ISdu IHtIu WHO
is not grown stale with defeat after de-
feat
If the party can pull itself together
at Denver-that is to say if the dele
gates are not irrevocably bound to Bryan
by lrOn-clad inStructions-the selection
of some other than Bryan to lead the
Democratic hosts in the 1908 campaign
is a consummation easily within the
range of probability.

THE MAIL ORDER HOUSE
A HARDSHIP ON THE COUNTRY.

AnEeXchange publishes the following
against mail order houses and in favor
of the home merchant.
The mail order business is the auack
doctor of commerce. 1t promises much
and guarantees nothing. Like some
patent medicines the directions are on
the inside, and you have to buy nom
returnable package before you can find
out what they are.
No mail order, house hepled to build
the little white school house in your
district, or turnpike the road past your
door. No mail order house eyer took
you by the hand when you were in dis
tress and told you to let that little
account go until the harvest.
No mail order house ever sold you an
article and then spent every cent of its
profit in the community where your
neighbors could get it all back again.
No mail order house ever rejoiced when
yous weresglad nor spoke encouraging
words.sto you in affliction, nor stood
with uncovered heads beside the grave
when your loved ones died
Mo- -. The mail order house is after
your money. Every dollar it gets its
hands on will be jerked out of your
neighborhood forever.
All mail order houses in Christendom
would not increase the value of our
farms one cent. They create no local
market for the products you have to
sell. They have no property which can
be assessed to help bear your burden Of
taxation.
Your local dealers business is legiti-
mate because its success contributes to
the general prosperity of the COM
munlty that builds it up.
He helps build up your community,
and makes it better place for you
both to live in.
His success depends on your pros
perity.
He swearslby the goods branded with
the trademarks of the most skillful
manufacturers earth-which are none
too good for that major general of in
dustry, the American Farmer.
