The Country Store
Hv "UnCIe Toby

| don't understand why it is 'ha'
nobody has a word of praise fer the
country store You never see any
thing said about it in the news
papers; not a word for or against
it The newspapers are full Oh
everythings elSe-even OF thlngs
whose and obnoxious-but not
word about the country store.
The coutry store has been a part
of many a mans life. Abraham
Lincoln read some of his first law
books while clerking in a country
store. 1t was while clerking in a
country store that your Uncle Tob5y
first read "LoSsing's History OF the
United States"
| think one reason the newspapers
don't say anything about the coun-
try store is because it doesn't adver-
tise. There is a good reason Tor
this; if some couatry stores would
advertise there wouldn't be enough
money left to buy a stock of goods.
Another reason is that it has no
opposition except the town stores,
and not much there. The country
store has a special mission OF Its
own. Its business is to keep IN
stock the things you forget to buy
when you 60 to town l nave
known farmer and his wife to fls-
IRE for a week on a bill OF goods,
and then, when they went to town
to buy them, neglected to get
pepper, tea, matches and some ten
penny nails, and never thought OF
them until they were halfway home,
and stopped at the country store
and bought them. The man who
keeps the country store knows what
YOU will forget and keeps a good
stock of it on hand.
There isn't any use trying to ger
rid of the country storekeeper; trusts
have hammered him over the head,
department stores have tried to
crush him, and competition has trl-
ed to dig him up by the roots, but
he is there yet, and will remain
there so long as he continues to
keep the little things you forget, or
need right now, and haven't the
time to 60 70 town after.
BIT the country store has other
uses Lesides that of supplying the
little things you forget to buy in
town; il hauls your eggs to market
when you haven't time TO do it
yourself. 1t generally does this free
of charge, for 1t pays you the same
price for them that the town
merchant would give you.
The country store is also a fine
school for laziness. 1t has graduat-
ed many men in that profession
and has given encouragement to lots
of boys. 1t is an excellent place to
loaf, and many a man and boy have
received their most valuable lessons
ia spinning yarns" at the county
store. Your Uncle Tobey Gradual
ed in laziness from the country
store at the early age OF seventeen,
but received his diploma as yarn
spinner" later on.
1t was just after had finished
my first term of school that a kind
friend, who had also an eye to bnSi'
ness, proposed to start me in the
mercantile business as a country
storekeeper He was to furnish the
capital while ! was to do the laying
around waiting for customers, This
friend had a store in town, The
capital consisted of old and reliable
goods carefully selected for their
age from dust-covered shelves
There were two wheelbarrow loads
of them and some in a hall-busheI
basket, 1t was quite a JOB to spread

saying they afterward paid all they
owed. 1t was a long time, however,
after the wreck had been cleared up,
and the man who owned the capital
stock in the store, or, rather, vino
had owned 1t before it was sold,
had moved the empty candy jars
and cracker boxes back and added
them to his original stock of goods.
1t was very kind in the boys to pay
me, as had assumed their ac-
counts, but | should not have con-
sidered it much of loss had they
never paid it. We had lots of fun
that summer, and they had as much
of it as | did Saturday afternoon

1t was shortly after going into
this store, after | had reached the
ase of nineteen, that | bought a
small printing press and started a
paper under the striking name, The
Happy Valley Star" | was prob
ably at that time the youngest edit

here to great success. The dem
onstration was brilliant one In all
Its phases, beginning with a bomb

with public dance on King street.
Motion picture exhibitions pleased
about 1900 children, commencing

ces by acting as ushers. at the pict-

5000 people In the northern section
and about 10000 along the bluff.
The Columbus band entertained cell
ebra1ts In North Amboy until near

were 10S automobiles in line at the
scene of the display.
Through q lack OF room, the big
display Of pyrotechnics at the bluff
was not carried out with as much
success as had been expected. There
were repeated delays, because the
pieces had to be carried from places
