ECONOMY CARRIED TOO FAR.
Old Mans Thrift That Led Him Into
Ridiculous Action.

President J. G. Schurman of Cornell
was discussing elective college
courses, os which in the freshman and
sophomore years, he disapproves.
"a freshman of is or IT," said Pres
ident Schurman, lis too young to
choose for himself the courses best
for him. His mind is not mature
enough. It will make mistakes.
''In its immaturity, its proneness to
error, it is like the mind of an old
man in my native Freetown. He,
though old, was mentally undeveloped,
and saw nothing wrong or ridiculous
in a piece Of economy that he put in
practice in the cemetery.
THE old man had lost four wives,
and desired to erect for each a head
stone, with an inscription commemora-
tive of her wifely virtues.
"But inscriptions, he found, were
very expensive. He economical in
this way:
HE had the Christian name of each
wife cut on small stone above her
grave-"Enma,' Mary" Hester"
Edith" Under each name a hand
pointed to a large stone in the CEN
ter Of the lot, and under each hand
were the words:
For epitaph see large stone.'"

STORES a NECESSITY.
Small Retailers Fixed Permanently az
Factors in Social Life,

There are pessinists who view with
alarm the revolutionary forces at work
in the business world. These people
OF narrow views solemnly announce
that within a few years there will be
no place for the small retailers, that
the so-called country merchant will be
driven out of business, and will be sup
planted by large concerns that will
have the trade which is now divided
among dozen or more small stores.
Some of them go so far in their dole
full predictions as to predict that the
business of the country will be trans
acted in the larger cities, and that
the country town shall become a
thing of the past.
These woeful prophets fail to take
into consideration the force of natural
law in the social and the business
world. They are illogical enough not
to weigh the relationship of economy
to trade conditions. Trade, like light
ming or like water, follows the lines
of least resistance. Citizens and towns
exist upon economic foundations. On
the virgin western plains a small col
ony of settlers seek homes. The
wants and necessities of these set
tiers must be supplied. The result iG
the esta olishment of store at CEN
trail point in the new colony. This
store becomes the nucleus Of a town,
a city in embryo. AS other settlers
come in, the town grows more impor-
tant, new industries are established,
local government is organized, roads
radiate from the place, banks and
other financial institutions are estab-
hshed, and here we have a thriving
town created.
This town exists because there is
necessity for it's existence, and this
necessity is the working out Of
economic laws. Wherever communi-
ties exist, tradesmen will exist. They
are necessary part of the social and
business life. They are necessary
agents in the distribution of COM
modities. They are the outgrowth
of thousands of years of CONNER
cialism, and they cannot be sup.
planted by any other system. Large
stores of the department kind
may grow up. They are also neces-
sity and are revolutionary in char
acter, but there will ever remain
place for the small store, it matters
not how large the city or how small
the town.

KEEP 70 THE FRONT.
Energy and Progressivcness Demand
ed by Present Strenuous Times.

Do you hear the rumble? The noise
of the wheels of the car of progress?
If you are deaf to it just make up
your mind to join the ranks of the
nonprogressiye and the failures. This
is strenuous age, and time when to
succeed in business requires work, in
tel1igent work, and a lot Of it. System
is the watchword, and work, work
steady and directed by brain, is what
brings success. There are so many
who are engaged in trade that are
little equipped for it. These days,
to succeed, it is necessary that every
phase OF the business you are in be
understood What rules to-day may
undergo change tomorrow. The
man in business must be up-to-date or
very likely he viii soon be the loser.
Keep posted on the markets, the con-
ditions Of trade in general, on the
latest methods OF doing business. II
you do not-well, just put your name
on the back-number list and drop out
The sooner the better for your own
pocketbook and the welfare of your
family.
Don't keep In the rear of the pro-
cession There is plenty of room up
front. Once In the rear, you may be
Inclined still to further lag behind and
let the procession get clear out of
sight. Lots Of room in the front,
and IL you can carry the banner, all
the better. Good old step-Lively is al
ways there, and he can hear every
command, and right from the front,
too. He can watch the maneuyers of
the enemy and has by far the best
chance of doing his duty well. The
boy In the rear can only see the
movements Of those before him, and
is pretty likely to get stray shot
from point outside his view. If you
want to succeed in life, don't get in
the rear.

UnWise CcmnetItion-

There cannot be a doubt but that
competition stimulates trade; but
trade is the natural outgrowth of civ
ilization and found it's origin when in
telligent man discovered that he had a
few wants, and that they could be sup.
piled by commodities others possessed
and which he did not have himself,
and that he had surplus of things
that he could trade for articles others
had and which he needed. Thus it can
be seen that want, demand, supply, all
go to make up that which is the life
OF trade. Competition is merely an
indication of a mans ambition to ex-
eel his neighbor, to gain more in bar.
ter and trade than what would in
ordinary channels come to him. It is
merely to seek, to reach out after
things desired. From the fact that 90
per cent. of those who engage in the
mercantile business fail, it seems
more appropriate to say that competi-
ton, unhealthy and not directed by
sound judgment, instead of being thu
life of trade, is one of it's fatal dis
eases.
