Save the Countr y Storekeeper..
How many of you would stop to
think what it would mean to you in
,dollars and eents if your country
storekeeper went out of business?
I am not a storekeeper. I 4ant a
music -teacher, and for the last ten or
twelve summers have had a class of
pupils in a little country village.
While there I make my boadquarters
in the home of the country store-
keeper. I stay in the village two days
a week, so I have become almost one
of the family.
One evening Mr. Smith came home
about nine -thirty, having closed up
the store after a long hard day. Be
is a man of about fifty •years or more,
and the grind of his -work is beginning
to show, although there is never a
word of complaint.,

"Willa' he said, "Pm ready for
some good old sleep, all eight."

Mrs. Brown, I'll try to stop him when
he goes by,"
She turned to me and said: "I wish
you'd watch down the road for Mr.
Jones. Mrs. Brown says he is on his
way up here to the station and she
wants me to be sure to send down a
sack of flour. They have a lot of
extra help and she has to get some
pies made for dinner."
In a few minutes I saw Mr. Jones'
corning in his car, at the rate of about
forty miles an hour. I said: "You
never can catch him."
But she grabbed the sack from the
-counter and rushed out; after calling
several times, she succeeded in stop-
ping him about four or five houses up
the street Up there she ran with
the twenty-five pounds of flour on her
shoulder and—Mrs. Brown had her
pies for dinner.
"That was a good job," t said.
"Yes," she replied, "but the worst
of it is, that is about all Mrs. Brown
buys here since they got their ear.
