Don't Use a
To Drive Away the
Mail-order Wolf .
YOU can drive him out quickly if you
use the mail order houses' own weapon-
advertising. Mail order concerns are
spending thousands of dollars every week
in order to get trade from the home mer-
chants. Do you think for a minute they
would keep it up if they didn't get the
business? Don't take it for granted that
everyone within a radius of 25 miles
knows what you have to sell and what
your prices are. Nine times out of ten
your prices are lower but the customer is
influenced by the up-to-date advertising
of the mail order house. Every article you
advertise should be described and priced.
You must tell your story in an interest-
ing way and when you want to reach
buyers of this community use this paper.

Fmd and Emotion.
The following really happened on
board a pleasure steamer in the Kylea
of Bute. A young honeymoon couple
were sitting side by side gazing on
-the lovely scenery around them.
"Isn't It heavenly George?" she mur-
mured. "I feel thrills all over me."
Then -without a pause as If still car-
ried away by the inspiration of the
moment "Dearest If there are any left
I think I would like a chocolate."
No good reason exists why spiritual
emotions should not make one hungry.
The bride who demanded sweets was
wiser than a girl who once remained
starving nnd Inconsolable in her room
after the departure of her lover for
India. At last nn amateur Hebe ven-
tured upstairs with a cup of coffee
and a plate of toast. Yielding to per-
suasion the nflllcted maiden was in-
duced to eat and drink nnd began to
look somewhat less dejected.
"I believe I was dying for something
all the time" she finally confessed
"but I was afraid to ask l.est people
would believe me to be less unhappy
than I really am." London Black and
White.
A Tribute to Sauerkraut.
Those Americans who have visited
Munich know well the noble statue at
the head of the Knrtoffelsaladstrasse
raised by grateful Bavaria to the mem-
ory . of St Hermann of PUsen In-
ventor and protagonist of sauerkraut
The genial old saint a smile upon his
face. Is seen stirring a largo kettle of
kraut with an oar of gilt bronze and
so lifelike is the carving that the trav-
eler standing by can well nigh scent
the perfumed steam and hear the flut-
ter of angelic wings. In these unro-
mantlc United States we have no pub-
lic monuments to Hermann and his
very name Indeed Is unknown to all
save a few rognoscentt. But neverthe-
less nnd notwithstanding this neglect
the delicious victual he gave to the
world Is firmly enshrined In the hearts
of the American people. Stewed gen-
tly In Rhine wine 'it tickles the esoph-
agi of the opulent: boiled In plain
hydrant water It nourishes the son of
toil. It is at once a viand a passion
and a public institution. Baltimore
Sun.
Scared Out of the Duel.
One day M. Edmund About called
upon Grlsler the most celebrated fenc-
ing master of his day. "I aui In a
quandary." said About. "I allowed
myself yesterday the pleasure of rt
Joke In bad taste and u duel Is to be
the result. I know nothing whatever
about fencing and. as you can see I
am fat Will you give me a lesson so
that I may not make myself too ridicu-
lous?" The lesson was given but
About proved a very poor pupil. On
his way out he saw a photograph of.
Grlsler. "I suppose" he said "I must
not ask you for one of these?" "With
the greatest pleasure" said the fencing
master. And with a chuckle Grlsler
wrote across the photograph "To M.
Edmond About the best pupil I have
over had." A few hours afterward tho
seconds of About's adversary called
on the writer saw the photograph on
the mantelpiece and. fearing for their
friend at the hands of so redoubtable
a swordsman arranged tho affair with-
out any duel.
How Henry Irving Wanted to Die.
"What have I got out of It?" Bald
Henry stroking his chin and smiling
slightly. "Let me see. Well a good
cigar a good glass of wine good
friends" nere he kissed my hand
with courtesy. Always he was so
courteous always ' his actions like
this little one of kissing my hand were
so beautifully timed. They came Just
before the spoken words and gave
them peculiar value.
"That's not a .bad summing up of it
all" I said. "And the end how would
you like that to come?"
"How would I like that to come?"
He repeated my question lightly yet
meditatively too. Then lie was Bllcnt
for some thirty seconds before he snap-
ped his fingers the action again be-
fore the words.
"Like that!" Ellen Terry In Mc-
Clure's Magazine.
Microbe.
"Speaking of the ark" he said MI
saw a little boy at play with hla
Noah's ark the other day. I watched
him put aboard all the people all the
painted animals and then I saw him
place carefully In a sheltered spot two
tiny splinters of wood.
" "What are they my son?'. I asked.
" Them's microbes' said he.
"It had never occurred to me before
but there must of course have been a
pair of microbes in tho ark." Har-
per's "Weekly.
The Honest Way.
"Money? Pooh!" exclaimed a suc-
cessful financier contemptuously.
"There are a hundred ways of making
money."
"Ah but only one honest wayl" pro-
tested his companion.
"What's that?"
"Cm! I thought you .wouldn't know."
London Telegraph.
Indulgent
"I have such an Indulgent husband"
said little Mrs. Doll.
"Yes so George snys" responded
Mrs. Spiteful. "Sometimes Indulges a
little too much doesn't he?" London

.Sureeping.
"That Is a sweeping argument" re-
narked a husband whose wife used a
broom to convince him that. he ought
to have been home sercral hours pre-
viously. The weeping at n wedding Is never
as real ns that which sometimes
comes afteryard. Atchison Globe.

A little dubious as to the exact
shade of significance but certainly al
luring to the ear. Is "pangwangle." It
expresses well what does It express?
a cheerlness under minor discom-
forts a humorous optimism under
small misfortunes though Indeed these
seem dignified definitions for. so In-
formal a word. "I Just p'angwangled
home In the rain" says a friend of
mine nnd I know he got there drench-
ed but good tempered. "We went
pangwaugllng off to the theater last
night" says my nearest neighbor and
I feel pretty certain they had been blue
over something and felt the need of
some small gayety. It would do us all
good If wo" p'angwangled a bit more I
think.
A very meaning word Is tho south-
erner's "honing." "My honey I've Just
been honing to see you!" It is not so
stilted as "I've been longing" and it
is much more emphatic than "I've been
wanting" It's a warm affectionate
lntimntc word honing: Let me put It
into the addendum well toward the
front for I love tho sound of It
These words are not slang. They are
not exactlyas one high brow friend
informed me-r-"low colloquialisms."
They have a place In language and
they add considerably to Its color.

An Outside Vegetarian.
"If you are not an outside vegeta-
rian you are not really a vegetarian at
all." The speaker was a member of
Philadelphia's little vegetarian church
uptown. An odd figure in his gray
health shirt gray ventilated suit gray
knit gloves gray aerated hat gray
cloth boots he continued: "An Inside
vegetarian is one who puts in his Inte-
rior nothing that has been procured by
the slaughter of animals. An outsido
vegetarian puts on bis exterior noth-
ing that has been procured by the
slaughter of animals.
"See my gloves vegetable gloves of
cotton not made of the skins of mur-
dered kids. See my boots woven
owing nothing to some poor murdered
calf. See my buttons wooden not
made of grisly bones. Inside and out-
side" so the quolnt faddist concluded
"I am a vegetarian and. Inside and
outside I get along without the murder
of any creature fish flesh or fowl.
There are many like me." New York
Press.
"Slipper Allum Tea."
Tho sidewalk stand ii soap box was
Uttered with mils of brown bark to-
bacco twists and withered switches
tied with twine. The proprietor a
brown and shriveled old colored wo-
man sat on another box. A passing
woman lingered to ask the old aunty
the meaning of her wares.
"Desc t'bacea twlss'es is for molls
an' de red oak bark Is good for cuts
an' de slipper nllum chips Is a euro
for ole maids."
"You ought to make a fortune out of
that aim$y. How does it work?"
"Huhhuh chile das as easy as a
possum cllm'In' a tree. You see ole
maid ladies Is most in glnral lean an'
lonesome iookiu an' slipper allum tea
makes 'em fat When dey gets fat
dey gets chlpperish an' some genmun
gwlne come aloag an' take a 'miration
to 'em unless dey takes to drinkln' de
tea too late bnh huh!" New York
Post
Who Said Gunpowder?
"I don't want you to get scared at
this story" began the baldheaded man
"but I hope you've all got good
nerves."-
The listeners eagerly drew together.
"Well" began the narrator "people
lose their lives sometimes in the stran-
gest ways. I know an Irishman poor
fellow-who n- few months ago sat
down on what he supposed was a keg
of black sand to have n smoke. After
finishing the first pipe he knocked the
live ashes into the keg. There hap-
pened to be a crowd of workmen
standiug by at the time and"
"Many killed.?" exclaimed a breath-
less listener.
"Many what?"
"Kliled-blown up?"
"Why? Nothing explosive about
black sand. Is there?" London Scraps.
His Conceit.
The Abbe Pradt a rushlight of Na-
poleou'8 time was a most conceited
man. The Duko'of Wellington met blm
In Paris at a dinner given In honor of
himself. Tho abbe made a long ora-
tion chiefly on the state of political
affairs and concluded with the words
"We owe the salvation of Europe to
one man alone." "Before he gavo me
time to blush" said the duke "he put
his band on his heart and continued.

An Oath of Silence.
In certain districts of Western Aus-
tralia there are women who take an
oath to remain silent nfter the death of
their liusbands. In some cases they
will remain unite for two years after
the funeral and very often the oath
Is kept also by the. mother and moth-
in-law. of the" deceased. Paris Kerne
Medicale.
The Poets.
"PoQts are horn and not made."
"But they ain't born tngged" opined
a rural philosopher. "Their fathers
consequently hafter go ahead and ed-
dlcate 'em Jest as If they was going
to be good fer something." Louisville
Courier-Journal.

Ta what is a knocker?"
"A knocker my boy. Is a man who
usually finds fault with another man
who is doing something better than
ho could do It himself." Detroit Free
Press.
