of such caliber that either he should

escaping the modification to which 1

What I decided upon was this: l
wrote note to Mr.. Beartlsley, con-
Tossing that his manuscript had been
burned and asking him II he had an
other copy and begging him for the
present to say nothing about the mat
ter. Ny note brought him to see me
at my home. and It was plain that he
was much chagrined at the loss Of his
manuscript. told him I could raise
$50, which I knew was more than any
author unknown to the public could
get for story of the same length as
the one he had submitted. He looked
up at me with curious expression
when l said this, but made no reply.
He left me, saying that he would think
over what was best to do. but in the
meanwhile need give myself no un-
easiness concerning it. This was very
good of him. and felt very grateful.
A few days later received a note
from him saying that he had decided
to rewrite the lost story. Work he did

the HOME MERCHANT

The home merchant. Who is
he?
He is the chap who gives you
credit when you are financially
broke, and carries your account
until you are able to pay.
He is the chap who gives you
back your money or makes eN-
changes when you are not salts
fled with what you have bought.
He is the chap who stands be-
hind his guaranty, and makes re-
storation of all losses that you
may sustain On the goods you buy.
He is the chap who meets you
at the door with a handshake, and
lets you out with message to
the kids, and a real come-again
goodbye.
He is the chap who meets and
greets you on the street every day
in the year, and takes a neighbour
ly interest in your family and
your affairs.
He is the chap whose clerks and
bookkeepers and other employees
live in Wahpeton and spend their
money with you and with other
Wahpeton people.
He is the chap who pays heavy
taxes to help support Wahpeton
schools, and build Wahpeton
streets, and maintain Wahpeton
fire departments and police de-
partments, and parks, and light
ing and water service.
He is the chap who helps sup
port Wahpeton churches, charity
organizations, and Wahpeton LODI
ges and commercial. clubs, and
talks for Wahpeton and boosts
for Wahpeton every day in the
year.
He is the chap who visits you
when you are sick, sends flowers
to your family when you die, and
follows your body out among the
trees and tOmbs, as far as human
feet may travel with the. dead.
| He is the home merchant -
your neighbor your friend
your helper in times of need.
Don't you think that you ought
to trade with him, and be his
friend and his helper in the time
of his need?
Don't you know that every dol
lar that you send out of Wahpe--
ton for merchandise is sent to
strangers-to men who never
spend dollar in Wahpeton, to
men who would not trust you for.
a box of matches, to men who
would turn you over to the police
if you should enter their offices?
You don't save much, frequent
lily nothing, when you send your
money out of Wahpeton and you
take all the risk yourself of short
weight or measure and of getting
damaged or inferior goods. And
don't you know that the growth
and prosperity of Wahpeton de-
ponds very largely upon the sue
cess and prosperity Of the home
merchants? Out-of-town people
judge our city by the appearance
|of our stores and the degree Of
enterprise shown by our mer-
chants. And our home merchants
can not succeed unless home folks
give them loyal support.
