 A least six operations enter into mail order purchase. By way of illustration we cite herewith q conversation which actually took place between a country merchant and a farmer who had been buying his hardware from g mail order house.
 He wanted a saw. The merchant showed him a standard article made by a reliable firm.

o'clock, when Michael Gaydish suffer-

Gaydish was grinding q casting and
"A order to facilitate his work re-

OF the wheel struck Gaydish over the

DR.. Strong attended the unfortu-

One day about two weeks ago the
writer dropped into the electric sta
tion and there found Mr.. S. Marshall,
representing the Judge Company Of
New York. We had not met Mr.. Mar
shall for several years. Knowing his
wide and varied experiences as a
travelling man and in the newspaper
business, and his gift for relating his
experiences, we prevailed upon him
to tell us story for publication. He
did so in the following, to which he
gave the title of "A Sailors Bible"
in the Shape of a Pack of Cards."
A ship headed for the United States
was wrecked. A sailor was seen cling
/ ing to a spar which was washed
ashore at Bath, l.. I. While lying on
the beach drying himself, he thought
of his Bible which he had in his pock-
ct, in the shape of a pack of cards,
which he Immediately took out of his
pocket, and, looking at same, said,
According to my reckoning this is
the Sabbath day. I will 60 seek a
| NnuLOA anu IAldllh NlOu lOI pdNIii6 lhy
life from the wreck"
He passed through Bath, L. l., and
came to town called New Uteric,
where he found an old Episcopal
church. AS he entered the church he
did as a sailor always does, take a
front pew. This is something strange
speaking Of a front pew, as you will
notice that sailor will in all cases
take a front pew, while a soldier will
take back pew.
AS the rector was reading the SER
vice, he noticed the sailor with the
pack of cards in his hands. He inn
mediately stopped reading and, call
ing up the vestry, said: Brother
Jones, go and tell that sailor to put
/ away that pack of cards. 1t is the
work Of the devil which is sacrilesio'ls.
this being the house of Cod"
Jones approached the sailor and
asked him If he knew what he had in
his hand. He said, Eyes, sir, / have
my Bible and my prayer book. There
was no one here polite enough to Of
fer me a prayer book and, had they
done so, / could not have read it; but
/ can read from my own prayer book
which is this pack Of cards"
i He was told to put them away
which he would not do and was there
fore put out of the church. In doing
SO row occurred and the sailor was
arrested and later taken before q
country magistrate. The magistrate
gave him hearing even tho it was
the Sabbath day. The magistrate ask
ed him why he had pack of cards in
the house Of God. The sailor respond
ed: "Your honor. that pack of cards
serves as my prayer book, dictionary
and almanac, which ! can prove tt
you if you will only allow me to do SO
And If you will pay strict attention
think you will clear me Of this having
the work Of the devil in the house Of
God" His honor told him to explain
matters. So the sailor commenced:

Do You Remember
'Myrenus Loomis?

We are in receipt Of a communica-
ton from Mr.. Myrenus Loomis Of
Garden Plain, Kansas. who, away back
in 1857, resided one-fourth Of mile
east Of Remsen Corners. He states
that his fathers name was Marcus
L.oofnis ana that he, Myrenus, was the
Oldest son. Mr.. Loomis is curious to
know if there is any persons living in
this section now who remember him,
and if so, to drop him a line. To
quote from Mr.. Loomis' letter:
with Liman Sanders / left Medi-
na county in March, 1857, for Illinois.
At the outbreak of the war, when
Sumpter was fired on, returned for
4 short visit" Mr.. Loomis writes Of
having helped to make the shingles
for the engine house when the first
railroad was put through in the early
SOS. Mr.. Loomis states that he will
be 79 years old the 18th Of next July.
He also sends us clipping from a
Garden Plain paper, bearing like
ness of himself as well as a sketch of
his life since leaving this country. In
part it says:
Myrenus Loomis, of Garden Plain,
is one of the pioneer settlers Of this
section of the. country. Mr.. Loomis
and his family, consisting of his wife,
three daughters and one son, drove
through in a covered wagon from
Knox county, H., and settled near
Garden Plain. 1t took them forty
days to make the trip. This was in
1884 and at that time Garden Plain
consisted of but one general store
owned by Hemer and Mcclure. Mr..
Loomis is 10 years old and in spite Of
being wounded twice during the Civil
War he is pretty spry yet. Mrs.
Loomis is 78 years old. The two have
been married for 53 years.

coin and the veteran is ready to start
talking at any time.

greatest blessings that he was elected
to govern the United States just when
he was. | remember hearing the fam
GUS Douglass-Lincoln debate. But few
persons thought the rail-splitter would
stand any show in debate with the bril-
liant Douglas but Lincoln had a won

talked long before everyone was with
him."
Mr.. Loomis served in the 102nd
Illinois, Company 4, First Brigade,
Third Division of the Twentieth Army
Corps under General Hooker.

Jerry's thoroughbred houn' dog, got
an early start. They headed for Ed.
Nettleton's about four or FIVE miles
east of town. After fussin' round un-
till about 10 o'clock, one of the party
beheld two CLASSY eyes radiating
from the top Of a big beech. And il
may be stated right here that despite
the seven Cracked" shots on the
scene, Mr.. Coon remained monarch

Aside from the above incident there
was nothing to mar the occasion ex.

cally all the districts the campaign is
just starting owing to the quarantine

yet no one has a lead that cannot be
easily overcome. A few days Of
earnest effort on the part Of any con-
