The preservation Of the home trade

Great cities give much In aims. but
little In justice. Only a. We know

friends and neighbors and ki,h and
kin as 1t Is In the smaller towns.
So the mail order house crushing our
towns is drying up the milk Of human
kindness In our hearts.
And that brings Us back TO first
principles; II we who live In these
small towns in America cannot see
that our duty to our country lies
first OF all in our duty to our neigh

all patriotism is only neighboriy kind

A DREAM AND A CRIME.
The Story of Slumber Vision That
Comes From Cicero.

The Story of Slumber Vision Tha
Comes From Cicero.
Cicero furnishes us with a tale o
two Arcadians. who, travelling togeth
er. arrived at Niagara, city Of Greece
between Athens and Corinth, where
one Of them lodged in a friends house
and the other at an inn.
After supper the person who lodged
at the private house went to bed and
falling asleep. dreamed that his friend
at the inn appeared to him and beg
ged his aSSisra because the Inn
keeper was going to kill him.
The man Immediately got out of bed
much frightened at the dream; but. re-
covering himself and falling ASLEEP
again. his friend appeared to him Il
second time and desired that, as be
would not assist him In time. he would
at least care not to let his death 60 un-
punished-that the tnnkeeper. having
murdered him. had thrown his body in
cart and covered it with rubbish
He therefore begged that he would be
at the city gate in the morning before
the cart was out.
Struck with this new dream. he went
early to the gate, saw the cart and
asked the driver what was in It The
driver Immediately fed. The dead
body was taken out of the cart and
the innkeeper apprehended and exc,
cuted.

THRIFTY NAPOLEON.
He Made Sure Of Being Served With
Honesty and Economy.


Emperor Napoleon t.. dressed in

prices Of food and find out whether,
his household officers served him with
honesty and economy. In Foreign
"reminiscences Richard Lord Hol-
land says that this was only one illus
tratiOn of the emperor's thrift and
shrewdness.
When the Tuillelies was being repair
ed Napoleon suspected that the iip-
hOlsterer's charges were higher than
they should be- SO he asked one OF
his ministers, who was with him, how

poleon. Thereupon he cut off the ivory
handle, called for q valet. bade him
dress himself in plain clothes. inquire
the price of such articles at several
shops in Paris and order a dozen az II

The valet bought them for two-thirds
Of the price that the emperor had lad
to pay. Napoleon. inferring that the
same overcharge had been made In
the other articles, deducted third

the tradesman that 1t was done at his
own express command because on in

whv Rain Clouds Are Black

The color of cloud depends on the
manner in which the sunlight falls
upon it and the position of the observ,

are always white or light in color. and
this is because the light by which they
are seen Is reflected from the under
surface by the numberless drops of
