Good Thing to Remember

The little red school house may rot
and fall, the little white church drop
away board by board, the home town
grow up in weeds, the death angel
carry your wife and all the babies,
the sheriff sell your farm under the
hammer and turn you adrift in the
world, and Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
Montgomery Ward & Co., care not a
rapp for your misfortuues, nor will
they shed one tear or sell one shirt to
hide the nakedness of your back, un-
less you send the cash in advance.
The home merchant takes your butter
and eggs and when the faies seem fair
ly to crush you, he is ready TO lend a
he lping hand. Kindly remember this
