Hometown i
Personal Responsibility

The one quality in any business that
will always insure it's success is per-
sonal responsibility 1t is because this
is true that the local retailer has
great advantage over the mail order
house if he will but use it. Let it be
remembered that the big mail order
house is an institution out of which
practically every human-we we're
about to say humane-element il
eliminated. When you buy of a mail
order house in d distant city you deal
with machine. This machine has at
one I'd hopper into which your mon
ey falls, and at another end the thing
you order or think you order is ground
out.
80 ia" as you personally are concern
ed in your relations with the mail
order house yOn are a no tity-you
are nobody. You might as we be design
ated by namber-in fact, you are so
designated in the mail order house re-
cords, and when you send an injury
to that institution the reply that comes
TO you is made up Of numbered para
graphs that have been used in various
combinations to answer other nouen-
tiles.
Now when the human element. the
human in erest, the personal respon-
sibility are elimin ated from business
dealings those dealings assume pretty
cold blooded basis. And when everv
transaction is done as it were in cold
blood, and when the persons to that
transaction are hundreds of miles apart
here isn't much of an inducement to
fair dealing left
If you think for minute that mer
'hants in Chicago are any more honest
and honorable, you-vell, you'd better
take another think. Why should they
Ne? At any rate why should you think
they are? Do you know them person
ally? Do you know their bringing up?
DO you, in fact, know anything about
hem? Of course you don't The truth
probably is that if the same persons
rim store in this town and offered
lou the same goods at the same prices,
you wouldn't buy them. IF you think
YOU would, how do you explain the fact
that Chicago people do not buy from
Chicago mail order houses? They don't
ouy of them, notwith It tnding the fact
hat III one of them, at least, they can
go and buy direct much the same as
hey can bny of any other retailer
Eerily, doth "di-tance lend enchant-
ment to the view" The Chicagoan
does not buy from the Chicago mali
order house be :ause he can go to the
mall retailer, get better goods at lower
prices and get quicker servive and,
oest of ali, get intelligent, personal at
tention.

SENATOR VANCE'S READY WIT
Records Show That Very Rarely Did
Carolina Statesman Fall 70 Rise to
the Occasion.

The late Senator Vance used to say
that his liveliest campaign for the gov.
ernorship of North Carolina was that
in which Judge Settle ran against him.
They stumped the state in joint de
bate. All the white Democrats turned
out to hear Vance, and all the colored
Republicans to hear Settle. On one
occasion, Vance was informed that
some young ladies desired to testify
their devotion to the Democratic party
by kissing the Democratic candidate
for governor. Nothing 10th, Vance de-
scended from the platform and kissed
a dozen or so Of the young beauties,
and then paused long enough to turn
around toward his competitor and
shout: Settle, I'm kissing my girls;
now kiss yours!" When he married
the second time, he said to his wife on
their wedding-day: my dear, I'm
stubborn fellow, and you may antici-
pate trouble. Now, in the beginning,
while I am submissive, l want to
give you one piece of advice. If you
follow it, We'll get on mighty we'll. 1t
Is this: Make me do just as I darned
please" A newspaper man, who was
about starting for a rather out-of-the-
way portion of Vance's own state, was
asking him one day what kind of ac-
commodation he was likely to find.
They'll give you some of their fried
hog and eggs,' the senator replied.
That's better than nothing" said the
newspaper man. 'I don't know
don't know" the senator answered, in
a dubious tone; 1--WE tried BOTH"

Utilizing School Buildings

Approaching the desirabili y of utiliz

Mo-, to greater extent than merely
employing them six or seven hour a
day for purposes of instruction, the
authorities recent ly inaugurated plan
to use them in the evenings for com

In his plan the parants and elders are
given chief consideration. Programs of
varied character are given iour even

Meteer's Rings.

In the entrance to the American
Museum of Natural History in New
York stands large meteor brought tc
that city and presented to the museum
by the Peary Expedition company. Te
handle the immense mass of metal
and stone large iron hooks and rings
were made fast at several places.
"The other day." said museum
guard, "a young New Yorker about
seven years old stood with his moth
er admiring the exhibit. The mother
read the description, saying that this
came from another planet and was
hurled through space, finally landing
in the arctic regions"
Mamma" asked the little Knicker
booker, "was that stone hung to the
other planet by those rings?"

PoIiceman,s Novel Excuse.

Policemen on trial at headquarters

with having lost his whistle. When
asked to explain he said. you see, /

he's got the whoopiRg cough, and now
every time ne coughs the whistle
blows and the cop on the post comes

Promoters of Spirituality.

The old adage in regard to the way
to mans heart is regarded by sons
persons as libel on masculine hu.
manity, but Deacon Sampson Of Gran.
ston evidently did not regard it In
that light.
He went much farther than the
adage, and was willing to express his
opinion at any time when it seemed
best. When the members Of the
Central church were discussing the
best way to interest the young people
of the town and bring them into
touch with church affairs, Deacon
Sampson spoke his word.
II believe in meetings." he said
firmly; nobody believes in 'em more.
and nobody attends 'em more thaD
do, but along with the meetings
don't know of anything that promotes
spiritual growth more'n strawberry
socials and oyster suppers, each ac'
cording to it's season. YOUTHS Com

PRINTING ONCE IN DISFAV0R
Known to Expiate Their "Crimes"
on the GalloWs.

On the 18th Of July, 1860, Martin
Lhomme, one of two who were hanged
in the Place Maubert by the decree
of the parliament, suffered because he
had published writing entitled
"Epistre envoyee au tigre de la
France" CA letter directed against the
Tiger Of France), satire directed
against the cardinal of Lorraine, then
all powerful, which had probably been
imprinted at Basic in Switzerland, or
Strasburg, Germany. The culprit, ac-
ceFding to the historian De Thou, was
poor little bookseller, a native of
Rouen. While he was waiting at the
gibbet, says Charles Winslow Hall in
tn National Magazine, one of his fel-
low countrymen, coming into Paris on
business, saw him on bis way and
recognized him. "Then, 'ays Regnier
de la Planche, mot knowing why he
was condemned to death, he alighted
from his horse at neighboring hos
telry, and, seeing the people very
angry against the unfortunate man,
cried to them, "Eh, what, my friends,
10 1t not enough that he dies? Leave
him to the executioner. Would you
like to torment him more than his SEN
tence demands? They considered the
Normans pity misplaced. He was
forthwith arrested, judged and hanged
four days later without any form of
process in the same fatal Place Mau

LOOK over
LAND GRANTS

B. L. Winchell, president oi
the Frisico sytem, arrived here
Saturday morning on his way
to St. Johns and surrsending
country, where he will inspect
the land grants owned by the
Frisco system. Accompanying
Mr.. Winchell was A. S. Gregg
vice president of the road, and
B. F. Yoakum, a prominent
official of the system.
When seen in Albuquerque re-

readiness to talk for publications

With the party went in two
big automobiles, in which thev
will explore the Frisc grants.
Not withsuanding the state
merits made by Mr IVinchell, it
is felt that there is something
due to happen because of the
trip, through railroad officials
suggest that the visit may very
likely mean nothing more than
the development of the lands,
which WORK the Frisco has been
carrying on for some time past.
