Few Are Left.

A dispatch says that of the
thousands of soldiers who served
in Mexico under Taylor and Scott,
only 6 were at ChilIicothe, Ohio,
to attend the National Reunion
of Survivors of the War with
Mexico. Captain John A. Fisher,
of Chillicothe, president of the
veterans association welcomed
the visitors, but as he is past
ninety years of age and blind,
was unable to deliver a formal
address. Could anything be more
pathetic than to see these poor

What the country will be after
a while will depend upon what

now.

Without the dreamers of yes

it is the Fourth of July.

he is an American when he hears

Without cartles in the air there

Let us not forget the Puritan
mothers. They not only en-
dured all that the Pilgrim IA
theirs endured, but also endured
the Pilgrim fathers.
What we would put into the
life of the nation we must first
put into the mind of the child.
Every boy should be taught
that he must sign his own decla-
ration of independence, and fight
his own revolutionary war.

Buying 10 Distant Cities.

People sometimes tell the home
merchant that he does not sell
rs cheaply as metropolitan stores
or mail order houses in more or
less distance cities. Any person
wishing to compare two scales
of prices should inquire whether
the distant store was selling the
same goods. Second grade pro-
ducts can be made to look very
handsome in a catalogue cut.
But the home merchant cannot
float that kind of goods. They
cone back to his store too easily.
1t is amusing to see the bother
people will take for trifiing sums
they think they are saving. They
will travel many miles, spend
street car fare, pay for luncheons
hotel bills, and tips. They get
tired and footsore tramping a.
round Oyergrown stores, sepa-
rated by long distances. They
wait for change, carry bundles
and express. They pay a high
price in money and energy for
supposed economics. When you
buy goods away from home you
rarely take them back. The
bother and expense looks prohib-
tive. When you buy at home
you would return If dissatified.
This takes the time of clerks;
frequently the goods have been
injured while in your hands.
Where it is so easy to return
goods the customer must be given
both the worth of his money, and
something suited to his needs.
A higher grade of salespeople is
thus required in the home store.
To make sale that will stick so
near home, the customer must be
given intelligent advice. Thus
the public demands from the
home store more competent SER
vice than it exacts from the dis
tant merchant. This means ad.
ditional expense, which is coun.
terhalanced by lower rents and
like economies. When you con-
slider how generously the home
store responds to all kinds of de-
mandS, reasonable and unreason-
able, the range of its prices is
remarkably low.
