A TALE WITH A STRONG MORAL Henry J. Aufgang was a prosperous farmer. He saved money and got to be well off. He bought his stuff at the store in town and so did his neighbors. Almost every day Henry drove to the store with a load of something which he sold and then "visited a- round" with his neighbors and his bro- ther farmers who, like, himself, drove in often. The women folks came sometimes and it was nice and soci- able and everybody grew to nowevery body else. Henry J. Aufgang had tele- phone in his house and crural free de- livery carrier brought him a daily pa- per"from the Big Cities every day. He could call up the doctor in town if his folks took sick or he could.. ask the storekeeper the price of eggsover the 'phone and take sonic in to sell if the price was right. One day he got a catalogue from a "mail order house" and read what it said about saving money by buying of the big concern (which was many stories high accord- ing to the picture on the cover of the catalogue and employed ' thousands and thousands of people.) Henry thought as he read the catalogue. "Business is business," he said and sent in an order for a stove—not. to his friend, the storekeeper in the town who in the past trusted him and cred- ited him when he was hard up, but to the man he had never seen—the man who ran the mail order in the Big City. "Businest is business." Henry got the stove. One of the legs was loose—would't fit. His friend, the blacksmith in town fixed it. lie or- dered his clothes and his hats and his shoes and his wagons and his furniture and his carpets and his crockery and his boots and shoes and rubber boots from the mail order house, "Business is buisiness." Many of his neighbors followed his exam ple—"business is business." Henry had been so busy getting in the crop and sending orders to the mail order house that be forgot all about going to town for some months. One day he thought he would take in some dressed poultry and fresh eggs and visit 'round. He called up the storekeeper to find the price of the stuff. Central said "line disconnected" and Henry wondered. Finally he went out and hitched up. Went to town; didn't seem to be much doing there. Drove to the store—it was closed! Went over to the furni- ture store—closed, too. So was the drug store; also the hardware store and the hotel and the resturant didn't look prosperous. "Nobody makes the town now," said the hotel man to Henry. "Business too poor—town go- ing back—stores all closed," Henry sought his friend, the blacksmith—yes he was doing busines at old stand. "What's the matter with the town?" inquired Aufgang. "Nothin.," said the blacksmith, except a lot of - crazy people around here have taken the notion that they don't need any town and are sending all their money away to millionaires/who run the catalogue house. Course they've got to come to me and I'm here yet just because the catalogue fellowahaven t devised. ways and means for shoeing horses by mail. But when they do I'll have, to flit to." Henry was astounded. "Who, I'd no idea—" he commenced. "Course you hadn't" rejoined the blacksmith. "Course you hadn't you had'nt an idea You don't think. Well you bad bet- ter to do sl now. Where are you go- mg on in duty we shall find the tru- est, noblest comfort for ourselves. Sitting down to brood over our sor- rows, the darkness deepened, creeps into our heart and our strength changes to weakness.

A place of rest and refuge, of peace and pleasure, of love and joy. A home is all this where' the family is united, having the same, purpose and working for the same purpose and working for the same end. There is not only strength iii unity, but blessings . unnumbereds Family unity is the basis of family prosperity, as national unity is the basis of family prosperity, as na- tional unity is the basis of a nation's prosperity. It is unity that makes the happis. ness of a home. One discontented, disloyal member can spoil the peace. of a household and make a place of torment where paradise should be. There are many sins we can and must foegive, but disloyalty to father or mother, sister or brother, is the act of a traitor and should be des- pised at such. If those who belong to us have faults, let us hide them in. out hearts that fhe world will not find them out. If misfortune comes to the one member of the family, let all share it and help the unfortunate one to keep a proud face to the world.' Let us be true to our own. Loyalty in friendship has been the theme of. poets, but loyolty to the home and household is the fairest of virtues and covers -a multirude of faults and follies. Sorrow came to you yesterday and emptied your home. Your first ins: pulse now is to give up and sit down in despair amid the wrecks of your hopes. But you dare not do it. You are in the line of battle and the cris- is is at hand. To falter a moment would be to imperil some holy inter- est. Other lives would be harmed by..your pausing. Holy interest would suffer should your hands be folded. You must not linger, eyen to indulge in your grief. Sorrows are but incidents in life and must not interrupt us. We must • leave them behind while we press on to the things that are before. Then God has so ordered, that the press • BUSINESS FOR GIRLS According to the recent census, it appears that there are nearly a third more females in this country than males; so of course there are not husbands enough to supply the de- mand. Under this state of affairs there is nothing left for the girls to do but to change their tactics; in- stead of spending their time and en- ergies in fascinating the beaux, set themselves to work and earn their own livlihood. The can do it, too. Let them calmly and decidedly make up their minds that there is a . work in life for them to do, and that they do not propose to throw themselves as martyrs into the matrimonial mar- ket to be disposed of to the beighest bidder. If girls have a good, comfortable home, it is far better to abide there if they can find anything to employ there time and energies, than it is to go among strangers and fight their way. As long as they have a moth- er to love them; it is well to keep her for in no place can purer happiness ie found; after she is:gone•there will be time enough to buffet the storms of life in the wide world. A girl can be independant if she chooses, and earn a comfortable liv- ing many ways, and it is not the worst misfortune in life to be born a girl; not half as bad as it is to be Married to a man that you can nei- ther love nor respect, who makes you a perfect slave to pander at his com- fort and humor his caprices. Think well before you make your choice of business. • Signed. GRANDMOTHER. Our Want Column Carriage and work horses for sale. Apply to Kellerman & Son.
