result Is Oregon-made saddles are In

South Africa.
When his fire took place Mr., Nc
Monies felt that he was hit pretty
hard but now looks upon it almost
as blessing. His bad luck sent him
shower of congratulatory letters
from his customers that fairly took

The harness and saddlery business

has the practical men with the ex-
perience to handle the trade. That
is why Portland stands second to
Kansas City only in harness and sad

farmer is doing more to keep money
at home and build up home industry
when he insists on buying harness

MASS MEETING AT SHOWER
SPRINGS. ARK.

The citizens OF Shower Springs
Ark, held meeting in the Baptist
church house, and after electing q.
B. Jones, chairman, and J. J. Rob-
erts, secretary, the following reso1u-
tons were read and unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, Hon. Thos. e. Watson,
one Of the most distinguished citi-
zens OF our country, and fTee-born
American, a staunch defender OF
American liberties, has been arrested
at his home in Thomson, Ga,
charged with sending obscene matter
through the u. S. mail, violating the
postal laws of the u. 8. Government;
but we believe the arrest was for his
cutspoken aud fearless uncovering OF
the hidden hand Of the Roman HER
archy IN the affairs OF the U. s. Gov
efnHhsgit; and,
Whereas, we feel that it is time
for the Protestant world and all lib
erty loving citizens to be mace to see
the great danger overSAadowi this
home land Of ours; be Il therefore
Resolved, by the citizens assem-
blAd of Shower Springs, Ark, That
we extend to the Hon. Thos. e. Wat
son our sincere sympathy and moral
support in his persecution.
Be it further resolved, That it is
the sense of this meeting that we
fear the Roman hierarchy is using
the courts of the U. S. to suppress
freedom OF the press and free
speech, and we further believe that
Mr.. Watson has been proc1aiming the
truth ON the subject of Romanism
and that we think the Hierarchy,
the dead1iest menace to our liberties
and civilization
Be it further resolved, That a
copy of said resolutions be sent to
The Jeffersonian, The Liberator, The
Arkansas Baptist, and The Menace

Recently number OF FILLER"
writer's have been contributing ar
ticles on the ever discussed and
never settled woman question"
from the viewpoint OF the outsider
who is criticising, advising and
judging the other woman.
For many years, the opportunities
for women in the business world
were limited-not SO mach by her
capacity, AS by the fear business men
felt at placing women, largely an
trained, in positions Of response
bility and Importance.
The past few years has witnessed
a great change-WOmen are not only
in positions of great trust and re-
sponsibiEity, but they are making
themselves successes as heads of
business concerns in many lines OF
industry.
The question recently came up for
discussion among several people in
tereSted in q business concern, en-
pioying men and women; compari-
sons were asked for as to the rela-
tive honesty of the two sexes, and
one who was in position to know
said, the sexes averaged about even.
While women have been so far
behind men in recognition as bust
ness assets, they have, many of
them, grasped all the opportunities
for graft, and in many cases. DOWN
right theft, which man seems prone
to fall for in SO large degree
The business under discussion
was one in which mail orders, bring
ing large sums of money in cash and
stamps, besides the usual channels
of postofice and express Office
money orders, gave great oppor-
tunity for theft-and with scarcely
an exception, there was not a mem
her Of the Office force who did not
avail themselves Of the opportunity
Several Of tie young women in
the office did much shopping by
mail, and paid for their purchases in
stamps
Gifts OF stamps were sent to rela-
tives; stamps of high denomination
were carried about in the wallets
and stamp books of the men in the
office-and the office itself was buy
ing stamps for the business, at the
rate of fifty. and seventy-fve dollars
per month.
The elimination came when a let
ter was returned to the office, CON
tanning an order for some dry goods,
and with stamps enclosed as pay
ment.
No one in the office claimed the
stamps, which had been held when
the letter was opened and the writer
had forgotten to sign their name.
The president Of the company was
hurt, and justly so; he had taken
most of his office force from among
the young people OF the town, and
he was not prepared for disloyalty
nor dishonesty from them.
He had both to bear. A new rule
was made; all stamps and money
were handled directly by member
of the presidents family, and the
result will be realized when it rs
known that, although the business
has doubled i'll capacity, doubled in
mailable outgO, there has not been
single dollars worth of stamps
bought by the concern in six months,
and over seyenty-fYe dollars worth
Of stamps is on hand
This is used to illustrate the dis
torted idea woman may get of
honesty
