A sooMERANo ADVERTISEMENT.

An argument IN favor Of patronix.
Ing home industry is to be found IN
me of the farm journalism edver-
tisement Of one Of the largest mail
order houses In Chicago. The ad-
vertisement is embellished with q
picture of the plant Of the big mail
order concern, and the caption Is,
The House That You Built" Here
In five words Is the best possible
demonstration Of the evil Of buying
from mailorder houses, from the
standpoint Of the farmer or anyone
else who Is interested in building up
his own community.
The home merchant can back up
his own arguments on this score by
pointing out that the resident Of his
own and county who sends money
away from home Is consciously enab-
ling big buildings and expensive
plants to be maintained hundreds OF
miles away. There is no getting away
from It; the mail-order house saye
50 itself.
This step by the mail order house
seems to be far in advance Of any
hing ever done In an advertising
way by such concerns. The adver-
tihement II well equipped with back
fire." It goes to farmers and all COM
munity citizens and as they
gaze upon 1t and realize that the
dollars earned by the sweat Of their
brows" have gone to help build up
thu monster structure when they
should have stayed at home to help
lower their taxes, they viii not be
30 easily influenced to send great
many more dollars to the Chicago
mail order house.-Walace Press

How Napoleon's Engineer Found ~
Width Without Instruments.
An engineer found himself summon
Cd one day into the presence Of his
commander. Napoleon stood on the
bank of a wide river gazing across to
where the enemy had planted batteries.
which he desired to attack with artil-
lery.
How v de is that riverl" was the
question put to the engineer.
LET me get my Instruments" was
the reply as he turned to go for them.
II must know at once" the emperor
insisted.
The engineer went down to the level
bank of the river and, standing erect
gradually bent his head forward till
the edge Of his hat brim just touched
the line from his eyes to the water line
at the opposite bank of the river
Then. keeping his head bent as it was.
he wheeled a quarter turn till his eyes
looked along the hat brim and met the
land at point on the same side Of the
river on which he stood. Here he
noted rock or tree near the point at
which his eyes met the ground and.
calling soldier, directed that stake
be driven near that point as he should
direct. Then. by motioning just where
to drive the stake. he fixed the point
at which the line from hat brim and
eye reached the. bank. Turning to the
emperor. he said, your majesty, the
distance from where ! stand to the
stake is the width Of the river"
And SO it was. as you can readily
see. If the emperor did not promote
that officer-why then the story does
not end as 1t should.-St. Nicholas.
