by the world, and then passed
quietly and peacefully upon that
sleep that knows no waking more
to the troubles and pains of this
fateful life. Crowned with their
country's honor and aureoled in
glory they swept up the streets Of
the "city beyond" to the music OF
the mighty chorus of the heavenly
choir, and sat down to the kingly
plaudit of "Well done, thou faith.

Home Trade Homilies.

When your next doc" ncighbOr sells
the same kind of goods that the mail
order catalogue auvcrtScS and at cor
responding prices, you need Il doctors
attention if you purchase by the mail
route.
Every tub must stand on its own
bottom. SO also must every town. If
YOU knock the bottom out of prOSperi-
ty in your town by doing a large part
houses, the place is calculated to fail
down pretty soon.
If the farmer who does a good deal
of buying from mail order concerns OK
poets to continue selling his vegetables
and other products in his home town,
he should remember that it is a poor
rule that won't work both ways.
Folks looking for bargains need not
contine their researches to the large
and Turing catalogues from the city
houses. Sometimes local newspapers
advertise bargains to be had right at
home, and it might pay to look for
such things in the home papers. Then
if you don't find what you want ask
the merchant why he doesn't advertise.
The city mail order store is the real
octopus. Its thousands of tentacles
are sucking in money from every direc-
ton. Money is the blood of commu-
nifty, and when it is drunk by the oc-
topus to such an extent the town is
sure to become anaemic.
