Few Women Stop to Consider Trifles.
If every woman stopped when she
makes up her mind to buy thing and
asked herself: rs it practical, will it
wash, and will it wear, is it worth the
price," many concerns now prosper
Gus and fiourishing would have to go
out of business. But the average
woman does not do her shopping in
that way. She sees something that
she likes, something pretty, something
that takes her fancy, and she buys it.
And many of the shops where fancy
trifles are to be had count upon this
as one Of their surest sources of big
receipts. Like the man who drinks
it is not what he eats that costs the
money, it is what he drinks. And
with womankind in their dress, it is
not the staples of life which cost the
most, it is the luxuries.

pEss'MIsT TOLD THE TRUTH
Charity in This World There Is, ard
Much of It, But Truly There
Might Be More.

A dirty-faced little lad with tat
tered garments wandered into dairy
lunchroom and walked up and down
between the long rows of chairs He
was probably five years old His lit
tie bare feet were of the color of
black loan and his face aad hands
were not much better. Under one arm
he carried a bundle of papers. In
the free hand he held dilapidated
cap, his little bare head significant of
the teaching of a mother
He was too bashful to call out his
wares, as the seasoned urchins of the
street do. For all that his own voice
amounted to, the pink extras under
his arm might have been as dull and
uninteresting as the history of the
paleozoic age, but he had a mission
to perform, and timidly his dirty little
feet took him along the rows of chairs
where business men were hurriedly
devouring their ham and eggs and
gulping down their coffee.
Wistfully the little newsboy gazed
on the lunch plates. His eyes were
bright and his countenance was good.
big, fat man looked scornfully at
him and the cap went up to his mouth
as though he would make it do duty
for the ham and eggs for which he
longed. A stern-looking woman who
was eating ice cream leveled her eye
glasses at the intruder and his steps
Quickened.
The journey among the one-armed
lunch chairs was hardly half COM
pleted when white-aproned sentinel
of the beans and sandwiches stole
noiselessly from his place behind the
counter.

BEAT it, l say; beat it."
The five-year-old vanished into the
night crowd on the streets.
Maybe there's charity in the
world" said the pessimistic dyspeptic
who was making merry" over "a
bowl of bread and milk, ''but it takes

Two Of Brayton's Happy Young Peo-
pie Conclude To Travel Lies
Road Together.

Mr.. Elmer Greenland Miss Esther
Larson, both OF Brayton Iowa were
married at Audubon Friday Dec. "a,
Charles White, Justice of the Peace
performing the ceremony that made
the twain man and wife. After the
ceremony they took the first train
going south and went to Brayton
where Mr., Green had prepared a home
for his loved one. Not having an
acquaintance with Mr.. Green we are
unable to speak of him but may say
he must be alright or Miss Esther
would not have selected him tor a
husband. We have had acquaintance
with Miss Larson for many years and
found her amiable and generous to
fault, to be of that nature and
deposition that harmonizes differen-
ces which makes home a happy one.
The Journal wishes the young couple
many happy years to live, and pros
perity unbounded.

The question has been asked US DUR
ing the past week at the rate of 500
times day why the r.. D. Carriers
do not fully make their routes to
which we have explained until we
are convinced explaining does no
good.
OF some of these patrons who are
having snch time about their mail,
will look up some of the rules gov
erning the r. d. Carriers they will
find that 80 times out of 100 the pa
tron himself is to blame. The Depart
ment does not require nor ask Car
rier to cross any dangerous bridge,
founder his team in suow bank nor
drive over rough, frozen, ploughed
ground nor to even leave his buggy
to place mail in your box, much less
open gates in order to serve you.
Perhaps if you are not satisfied
with your service, it would be good
idea to take that skink'' ont with q
scoop shovel down where the lane
has blown full of snow, keep the
roads open at all times and in condi-
ton SO that team can get over them
and you will not be compelled to con-
tinually complain to US.
The roads on r. D. are at present
in such condition that should an in
spector go over them, he undoubted-
ly would condem them and no service
whatever would be given.
We are always ready to listen to
reasonable complaint and will do all
possible to give you good service but
if the fault is yours, do not think we
are going to take pity on you and
cuss the Carriers.
Respectfully,
George Arnold,

Colombia. South America, controls
the worlds market for emeralds as
completely as the South African syn
dictate does for diamonds. 1t is from
the mines high up in the Colombian
Andes that most of the emeralds
come. The Colombian government
has leased its most valuable mines
to an English syndicate, with the un-
derstanding that it is to sell at least
$1,250,000 in emeralds year for 90
years, giving the government a per-
centage. The largest and most valu-
able emerald in the world belongs to
the duke of Devonshire. 1t is a per-
