 The failure to agree to any terms of German peace are regarded as a good sign by those who still hope that Russia will keep up it's end ot the war. The various dispatches from London and Paris reflect this anxiety upon the part of those gov ernments as to the Russian situa- tion.

Last Decisive Issue.

think that in order to realize
just what this moment Of counsel is,
it is very desirable that we should
remind ourselves Just how this war
came about and just what it is for.
You can explain most wars very sim

SO simple. It's roots run deep into
all the obscure soils of history, and

Happening to remark about it in the

gested that we make up list OF

So we prepared our list as suggest
ed, but instead Of sending it to cata-

The merchant took it, made some
hasty computations on a piece of
wrapping paper, handed 1T back, nam
ing a gross price, remarking at the
time that he had made rather close
figures because he knew that we did
our own delivering and paid cash,
saving him the cost of delivery and
the cost of booking and the worry
over collections, speaking of the cred
it business in general
Mr.. Barnes got the order because
his price compared favorably with the
catalogue price and because, in that
one order, he had sold a larger quan-
tity of goods for cash than any one
family in his town was likely to or
der piecemeal in a month. He rem
enabered that orders aggregating such
an amount would involve thirty or
forty deliveries, or maybe hundred,
for a town customer.
Let it be observed in this connec.
ton, that the free deliveries in towns
of the size of Watertown cost the
merchants, in the aggregate, in the
ighborhood of fifty thousand dol
lars a year. We know of no catalogue
house in America that makes free de
liveries. But we digress once more!
We lived in Colorado for several
years and during that entire expert
,4ence no catalogue house ever got a
dollar of our money eynot because of
prejudice against catalogue houses in
general, or some certain catalogue
house in particular, but largely be-
cause we were able to buy goods in
such quantities as the average man
would ordinarily buy, ifs he were buy
