Not long ago 1 tnet a young
lady in poverty whom I had pre-
viously known in wealth, and this
was, in sul)3tance, the story sho
told me:
Father died suddenly in
Washington and the proffessipn
al skill through which he coined
money for Ais died with him. I
am heart-broken because none
of us saw that he was dying.
Was it not pitiful that he should
think it best not to tell us that
he was sick? And I, his petted
daughter, though I knew he was
taking opium to soothe his great
pain, was so absorbed by my
pleasure that I just hoped it
would all come out right. If I
could only remember that even
once 1 Had pitted ms suitenng or
felt anxious about his life, I
might bear his loss betterl My
dear, dear father! Oh, how ter-
rible it is to love when it is to
late,"
The story is common enough.
Many a father, year after year,
goes in and out of home carrying
the burden and doing the labor
of life, while those he tenderly
loves hold with but careless hands
all of honor and gold he wins by
toil and pain. Then some day his
head and hands can work no
more, and the hearts that have
not learned the great lesson of
unselfish love while love was
their teacher, must now begin
their sad duty when love has left
them alone forever. It is now
their place o carry the daily
heavy cross he bore, and, uuder
its burden to say,' with bitter
tears: ' 'Would that the dear one
was here once more! Never
again would we grieve and cross
him! Never again be blind to
his manifest weariness and suf-
fering! Oh, for the sound of his
voice in our sorrowful home!"

The Baskin-McGregor liquor
law contained several wise para-
graphs but when you read this
"It shall be unlawful to sell . in-
toxicating drinks at any place
where people have assembled to
worship" it gave us an eye
opener. We had always believed
that people who assembled to
worship would abstain from buy-
ing liquor at least until they got
around the corner. We never
heard of a saloon man setting up
a bar in the amen corner of a
meetin' house and didn't know
that an emergency existed de-
manding a prohibatory law to
keep thewhiskey man from sel-
lin' to the preacher and congre-
gation during their songs of
praise and prayer. The feller
that wrote that clause must be
exceedingly batty or has been
sorely tempted to revive his re-
ligious spirit by establishing a
bar room in the church vestibule.
Not being strong enough to re-
sist the tempting idea he col-
lared thelsaloon man down town
and choked him off the worship
ers until the doxology was sung,
then let go hi3 grip and ordered
them set up to the crowd. Coa-

A Missiouri editor calls his
people to taw about as follows:
"Yes, you sent away down to
North Carolina for an evangelist
to come to our town and carry on
a big meeting and revive the
drooping spirits of all Christians.
Your own preacher has been
faithfully laboring with all of
you for a whole year to get you
to do what you ought to do and
to get sinners to repent. And
we have labored in our columns
with mighty force to tell all the
tough old sinners about the er-
ror of -their ways, with but little
success. You paid the N. C.
evangelist six hundred and fifty
dollars of your hard earned cash
to come and tell you how to get
religiously excited; and your soul
then went out in great anxiety
about all the local sinners who
seemed to you to be eternally
lost at that particular time. You
pay your local preacher who
preaches and prays for you every
day in the year, a very scant liv-
ing salary for what he does for
you, and you won't even pay us
your back subscriptions. Selah."

We have heard of the weather
being so hot that it popped pop-

that it is a fact, for Miss Leta

it was popped while on the stalk

A worm and a weevil met in
the cotton patch one afternoon
this week. Neither was in good
humor and at sight of the other
each raised hi bristles. "You
are an awful bore," said the wee-
vil and everybody says you're an
old hard-head, with just sense
enough to make a hole." "If it
wasn't for your bill," replied the
worm, "nobody would ever know
you'd been about; you can't eat
an ounce of cotton in a week, but
you stick that cussed bill of yours
everywhere and spoil everything
insight." The weevil began to
flutter and the worm 'began to
squirm, and there were splendid
prospectsjfor a scrap. But just

Mail order houses print col-
umns about the fine points of
their cash system, and really,
says the National Hardware Bul-
letin, it is a dandy when one
comes to think it over. Only it
isn't a cash system at all it is a
reverse of the usual custom.
The farmer extends all the credit
and takes all the chances of in-
ferior quality, damage in ship-
ping, delay, misfits and imperfec-
tions. The farmer trusts the
catalogue house for from two
weeks to three months and then
is coddled into believing he is
buying for cash. The farmer
orders something the catalogue
house has never seen nor owned
and has an awful time to get an
error corrected, a repair, or his
money back if not satisfied.
Every sensible man knows that
buying for cash means a com-
pleted transaction to pass over
the money and receive the equiv-
alent. That the farmer is liable
to lose by extending credit to ir
responsible mail order houses is
shown by the records. Four big
catalogue houses have failed.
By these failures alone the farm
ers have lost about $1,000,000 in
cool cash that they had sent m
for goods or for stock. Through
fake mail order schemes they
have lost within five years at
least two million more. When
one reliable farm paper like the
Rural New Yorker is denouncing
and , warning farmers against
mail order frauds, twenty-five
other cheap farm papers running
page ads and in an editorial guar-
anteeing their responsibility.
Will the farmers ever get wise
and condemn the hypocrites who
in their letters continually ad-
dress him as "kind friend" and
other equally disgusting toady-
isms? We believp he is getting
his eyes opened now. TradeJ
