THEY WOULDN'T LIKE IT

How wonld any merchant like a
competitor in whom the govern
ment was so much interested that
it would allow him to do all his
soliciting by mail WITHOUT paying
postage, permitting him to use the
regular government official envel-
opes to send out his circulars and
catalogues in. and then permit him
to ship his goods to the customer
free of charge? We fancy they
wouldn't like it much. Well that is
just the position of the local printer
to-day. The government printing
office is running full time with
large army of printers at govern
ment expense printing envelopes in
opposition to the printers who pay
taxes, sending them out over the
country free of charge and thus
takeing away that which justly be-
longs to them. Only the larger
firms can take advantage of this
government liberality, for the
smaller firms cannot afford to in
vest as much in envelopes as it
takes to buy 100 stamped enveI-
opes; and thus it is that the small
concern is Disseminated against
by the government to the advantage
of the larger ones. Liberal (Mo.)

OF the road. to the open. where the hunts
man cast the hounds Almost imme-
dlately the pack had the scent and were
away across the Kengla place. then over
Mr.. Walter Browns farm, and through
Mr.. Lghtfoot's and Mr. Killians and
then back TO Kengla place. From there
they crossed the Tunlaw farm. So far
there had not been many fences, and
those not bad, except one, where Mr..
Knut came to grief, though he imme-
diately mounted and came on strong.
Suddenly. after crossing meadow land,
fences seemed 10 grow out OF the ground,
and get higher and higher as the riders
came closer. Then the huntsman took
the first. at the edge Of the Weaver
place There they jumped two more IN
rapid succession, and made a check,
while the hounds. who seemed to be at
fault worked over a field or two. In
few minutes the pack gotNthe line again,
and, slipping through a fence. went down
across long field, with the riders close
on them, well together. and taking their
fences beautifully
The run was through q most attractive
part Of the country near the city. gen
orally rolling, with Just the right pro-
portion Of meadow and field upland and
wood And from the viewpoint Of the
audience, the hunt was most spectacular.
The excitement was intense among the
occupants Of automobiles and carriages,
as they waited for the first sound of the
chase, which came family ar first. then
louder and louder, as the many tongues
Of the closely packed hounds told that
the scent lay breast high. Quickly they
came into sight in their long, winding
course up valley, mounting gradually
the hill on which stood the spectators.
The next fixture Of the drag hounds will
be on Wednesday at Bethesda, Nd. at
