A certain host and his dinner guest
was the more i'll hammered. On on,
occasion the latter looked the mas

shouted across the table:
"Please remember that when you

"And when you are my guest "
suayely retorted the other, knife in

Is it sense of manners that re

from pointing out to their fellow

the latter have favors to bestow? Or

One small-town customer seems to
have worked out the matter to his
own satisfaction without consulting
the shopkeepers in the matter. This
man, a doctor, outlined his position
quite definitely in reply to one Of
those politely inquiring letters that
the large mail order houses are con-
stantly sending out to all good citi-
zens who have money to spend. The
burden of this letter had to do with
the failure of the addressee to send
in orders for goods. The good doc

mas urtu rendered to our poor. Nl
other words, you are not down rs
a contributor to our Helping Hand
Society In fact, in all the move
meuts for the betterment of our
conditions, where our community has
needed the united efforts of her pub
ic-spiri,ed citizens, have failed to
lind your name among the list Of our
contributing merchants Your name
is not on our city tax books, no"
do / f,ud where you have paid a
city license to do a mercantile bus
mess IN competition with our home
merchants.
These are few answers to your
que stions and | trust you will SEE
the justice of them"
1t is generally safe to assert that
the prosperity of a town can be
guaged accurately by the business of
its shops. The storekeepinE element
of any community is always a sub
stantlal force in pubic affairs, in
employing labor, contributing to pub
lie funds and works and in other
ways TOO numerous to mention. If
the doctors and lawyers and editors
and laborers and farmers of every
town would only reflect that for
every dollar they spend IN the SHOPS
of their own community there is
an excellent chance OF a tangible
traction Of that dollar returning to
their own pochets-it that realization
should become as general as 1t is
torceiui we wonder how long the
giant mail order houses would con-
jlnuc I'M business.
For it is not the big city that
supports these institutions No, if
is the small town of the class that is
is steadily losing its population, it,
resources, its very personality. We
wonder Just how much of tn" ole.
ment of chance there is in the
happening that, as the catalog grows
the small town shrinks.
Somebody must pay, Of course
First, it is the small merchant, who
loses trade on goods that are on
sale in his shop at probably lower
cost to the consumer, quality con-
sidered, than those enumerated loy
the same goods in the alluring cat
alogs that have flooded the country
in the past few years. Why is this.
Is it that the townstolk would rather
trade abroad than at home? Ger.
tainly not. Is it that the merchant
is not diligent in telling of the real
ly comprehensive stock Of hone st
goods that he always has at fair
prices Perhaps.
At any rate, the resources of the
small merchant begin to contract.
How long is it, then, before the la
borer finds more idle days in the
run of the week?-before the law.
yer finds that his clients are less
urgent for advice than hitherto?-
before the doctor learns OF various
half-sick people in town who prefer
to be almost i'll rather than almost
hungry?
For the money that has gone 10
the mail order house has really gone.
There is no possible chance of its
coming back through the various
trade channels-from storekeeper to
laborer, lahorer to doctor, doctor TO
lawyer, and so on through the whole
process that used to keep the lie
in the American town. The endless
chain is wearing out it would seem.
Is it worth while? Is there not
more prosperity for all of US in the
general welfare Of the town, tnln
can be measured by the dubious say

MRS. BUFFUM AND
FRAHM INDICTED
Charged With Poisoning
Husband and Four
Children

Little Valley, N. Y, December 11.--Mrs.
Cynthia Buffum and Ernest Frahm.
young farm hand, were indicted and ar
raigned here this afternoon on charges
of murder in the first degree. District
Attorney George w. Cole said Mrs. Buff
fun had made a confession in which she
admitted administering poison to her hus-
band, Willis Buffum and her four chill
dren so that she might be free to marry
Frahm.
Buffum died August ~ One of the chill
dren, Laura, 10 years old, still is criti-
cally ILL., The others are slowly recov-
ering.
Frahm and Mrs. Buffum pleaded not
guilty and were remanded to the county
jail.
The alleged confession of Mrs. Buffum
Mr.. Cole says. is to the effect that the
poison was placed in the food prepared
for the family covering a period of over
a month. 1t was in a horse medicine con-
tanning poison.
Mrs. Buffum was brought here from
Buffalo this afternoon. Following her ar
raignment she was taken TO the grand
jury room, where 1t Is understood she
gave evidence against Frahm which re-
suited in his indictment an hour later
Frahm had appeared before the grand
jury last week, and upon his refusal to
answer questions regarding letters al
legged to have passed between him and
Mrs. Buffum, he was committed to the
county Jail for contempt of court
The attention of the county authorities
was called to the case early In September,
shortly after the death OF Buffum. AT that
time three of the Buffum children fell i'll,
the symptoms of their attack resembling
those which had resulted in the death OF
the father.
DR.. M. L. Hillsman, the family physI-
clan, called a consultation of docors and,
as result of their diagnosis that the
children were suffering from poisoning,
District Attorney Cole began an investi-
cation. No trace of poison could be found
at the Buffum farm and inquiry at drug
stores for 100 miles around failed to dis
close the sale of poison to any one likely
to come in contact with the Buffum FAM
lily. Buffum's body was disinterred and an
examination of the vital organs disclosed
according to the chemists report, poisin
in VEGETABLE quantities

STRIKE SITUATION IN
ENGLAND BECOMING
ACUTE, SAYLEADERS
Government Employees Will
Defer Action Until
After Christmas
Holidays

London, December 11.-There is to be no
general strike of the 1880 government
employees in the post, telegraph and tee-
phone service during the Christmas holi-
day season, but the grievances of the
workers have not been satisfied and union
leaders today declared "the situation is
becoming more acute"
The secretary of the national commit
tee on Postal Workers unions announced
this evening that action on the strike
proposals had been deferred
He gave this information to the news
papers after a prolonged interview be-
tween a delegation of the workers and
Herbert Samuel, the postmaster general,
who reiterated his refusal to consider
their demand for increased pay.
{. II. Stuart the mems secretary, de-
clared the postmaster generals reply alb
solutely unacceptable, but said the whole
question would have to be referred to
the national joint committee of the
unions.
Concessions already made by the post
master general to the demands of the
postoffice staff. it is officially stated, will
cost the country over $6,000,000. When
Mr.. Samuel refused today to consider
further demands he told the union lead
ers that if a strike occurred at Christ
mas time, the country would demand
measures to render the recurrence of
such a thing impossible. This was taken
to mean that the strikers would be re-
fused further employment.
