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 un-
der the hammer and turn you adrift
in the world, and Sears, Roebuck &,
Co., Montgomery Ward & Co., care
not a rapp for your misfortunes, nor
will they shed one tear or sell one
shirt to hide the nakedness of your
back, unless you send the cash in
advance. The home merchant takes
your butter and eggs and when the
fates seem fairly to crush you, he is
ready to lend helping hand. Kind
ly remember this.-Dell Rapids Tri-
