A MAIL ORDER TRANSFER.

Down in Oklahoma the other day
a man. went into a store to buy a
saw. He saw the. kind he wanted
and asked the price. 1t was $1.65,
The dealer said.
Good gracious" said the man. 81
Can get the same thing from Sears,
Roebqck & Company for $1.35."
That's less than it cost me- said
the dealer, 'but I'll Sell it on the
same terms as the mail order house
just the same
,'All right said the customer,
You can send it along and charge
to my account
Not on your life, !" the dealer re-
piled. mo charge accounts. You
can't do business with the mail or.
Ger house that way. Fork over the
CASH
The customer complied.
Now two cents for postage and
five cents for a money order"
"What---"
Certainly, you have to send a
letter and a money order to a mail
order house, you know
The customer, inwardly raving,
kept to his agreement and paid the
nickle
Now 25 cents expressage"
Well, I'll be" he said, but
Paid it, saying, Nov hand me that
saw and I'll take it home myself
and be rid of this foolery.'
Hand it to you? Where do you
think you are? You're in Oaklahoma
and I'm in Chicago, and you'll have
to wait two weeks for that saw"
WhereupOn the dealer hung the
saw on a peg and put the money in
his cash drawer.
THAT makes $751; he said. 1T
has cost you two cents more and
taken you two weeks longer to get
it than if you had paid my price i'm
the first place. Square Dealer.

THE TEN COMM ANDMEN
OF ABDUL BAHIA, NEW
PERSIAN PROPHET,

81. The unity of the human race.
God is the Creator of all, the Pro-
wider for all, and kind to all. If He
is not kind we cannot have creation.
Therefore we must all associate with
a spirit of fellowship and love. All
religions and nations must love each
other from the hearts and souls.
''2 The declaration of universal
peace among all religions, races, ma
tions and fatherlands With regard
to the lofty principles he wrote many
epistles to the reigning kings and
queens of the world, including one
to Queen Victoria (to which her late
Majesty did not reply)
''3. Religions must be the cause
of amity and love. If religion is to
be the means of hatred and rancor it
is better to be an irreligious man
an atheist
a. Religion must ever conform
with science and reason. If religion
does not do so it is heap of super
stitions, because when We study the
bases of Christianity, the Mosaic law
Confucianism, Mohometanism, and
Brahmanism, we find that they all
conform in their origins, to science
and reason.
5. Religious prejudice, racial bias
national prejudice, patriotic prejudice
political prejudice are the destroyers
of the foundation of the human race.
AS long as these prejudices exist hui
manlty will not attain to universal
peace The human kind are of one
family.
sc. Men and women are equal. We
women, and cause them to enter the
university of learning, so that they
may acquire science and art and
craft equal to the level of men, Equa'.
ity obtained by force is not to be
commended. In nature the fact that
there is no difference between the
sexes is manifest.
81. Universal spread of education
All children everywhere are to be ed
ucated; none is to remain ignorant
Ii the parents are unable to supply
education the government must give
it compulsory.
''S The establishment of a re-
adjustment in the economic conditions
of society; Justice and fairness for
all but the classes not to be disturbed.
SO. The organization of an inter
national court of arbitration. The
laws of this court to be binding on all
humanity.
10. The Inauguration of an auxi-
liary universal language that must
become part of the curriculum of all
primary schools of the world. This
will dispel long misunderstanding
No one will be obliged to study a
large number of languages. Two will
be enough

EiQhtieth AnniVerSity.

One day last week, our esteemed friend
and popular citizen, S. M. Eaton, passed
his eightieth milestone in his earthly
pilgrimage, hale and hearty, with the
promise Il many years to be added to his
sojOurn in the flesh, which al: Of his
friends sincerely hope will be realized
in his experience. Seventy years ago,
Mr.. Eaton came to Wisconsin with his
parents from the East and located at
Hebron in this county. known for years
as the Bark Woods, where they suffered
the many hardships and privatiOns incl
dent to a new country. Opportunities
for an education and social enioyments
were meagre, yet. Notwithstanding the
lack of such ivantages, the young men
and women of those days educated them
selves to great extent and gave to the
state, men and women of ability and
sterling worth in all the walks OF life.
Many years ago, Mr. Eaton came to this
city and because of his energy, ability
and worth, became one OF our leading
citizens and he'd many positions of hon
OF and trust, discharging every duty
with fidelity and faithfnlhess to every
confidence reposed in him-and all can
unhesitatingly refer to him as the "Grand
Old Man" Of WatertOWn. Soon after COM
ing to Watertown, so long ago that it
seems like an age, he engaged in the
manufacture of soda water and pop and
built up large business as all had con
fdence in his integrity and knew that
the output Of his factory was pure and
wholesome, and conducted the business
for many years associating his SOD,
Frank, with him in the business later on
which was conducted until about four
years ago when it was disposed of, and
Mr.. Eaton retired to take well earned
rest. Like all others he has had his
share of the pleasures and sOrrOws Of
life. but is 80 constituted mentally that
he looks upon the bright side, knowing
that there is always sunshine behind the
cloud.
In the evening, number OF his Ma
sonic friends surprised him at his resi-
hcnce. 4l2 Washington street, to con-
gratuiate him on the occasion and help
him to commemorate the event. A very
pleasant evening was spent by Mr.. E.
and his friends, who, as testimonial of
their esteem and br0therly regard. pre-
sented him with handsome silver loving
cup appropriately inscribed, expressing
their respect for him as citizen, friend
and brother.

who. In taking the chair, made the state
ment, that the club could not accomplish
as much for the city as it should, until
at least one member of each business
concern and corporation was a member
of the club, which is true, and ought to
influence a larger membership. Remarks
| appropO of the occasion and of interests
of the club were made by Carl Il. Emmer-
ling and during his talk referred to the
fact that employment was given largely
| to outsiders in our stores, schools and
| factories instead of to the young men
and women born and raised here, who
had to go elsewhere for employment
G. ID. Wiggenhorn in replying to the
toast, "Watertown." spoke epigrammati-
caily Of our beautiful city and its splen-
did advantages and possibilities, if only
conserved by united effort upon the part
of all its business men and business in
terests.
l.. ". Parks told number Of humor-
Gus stories germaine to the occasion al d
which were at the ex,ense OF some of
the members and were enjoyed. O. C.
Hahn spoke briefly and to the point rela-
tive to local affairs giving good advice.
&. H. Lehrkud gave an entertaining
! talk aid Attorney Gustav Buchhelt re-
viewed the work of the Club and what
il had accomplished for the good of the
city and it's business interests since it
was organized, being social. intelIectu-
al and business center, the scope Of
which should be extended by an enlarg-
ed membership. Dr.. A. Ii. Hartwig spoke
enthusiastically of what was being ne
oompished IN the vicinity of Watertown
in breeding of high grade cattle which
was giving jhe city almoss worldwide
reputation, and Ex xMayor Wertheimer
got after the knockers with club figur-
| atively speaking. 1t is boosters, not
Knockers. is what the city needs and IL
all boosted as well and nnsalfishly as the
Elk Mayor, we would have city in II
few years of 25,0O0 inhabitants.
ALI must recognize the fact, that the
city must grow fro IL wilhinour territor
for trade being limited, which means
that we must have more factories to
furnish employment for labor and thus
increase our population and add TO the
volume Of trade. Our railway facilities
are good real estate for sites much
cheaper than elsewhere and most lines
Of goods can be manufactured he
cheaper than at most any other point.
What we need is united action upon the
part OF all and Willingness to aid in
every effert to bring success to city and
people.
