Helping the Home Merchant So far Christmas trade has not been as heavy locally as in previ ous years, and the next few days will probably see most of the holiday buyinp done. An inspec tion of the stocks of the local stores shows that at no time have they leen more complete or larg er. Selections have been made for the most discriminating buy ers, while variety is not lacking. This effort on the part of Hood River merchants to please should not be overlooked or forgotten by local buyers. The success of every town is told in the success of its business institutions and in the tendency to keep the money brought in from abroad at home. There is no season of the year when this should be more closely adhered to than now, when ex penditures of thousands of dol lars will be made and when stocks have been largely in creased in this expectation. A little diligence will probably re sult in shoppers getting what they desire in the way of pur chases, and they ought to make it a point to exercise this dili gence. It should be remembered that it is the local merchant who gives credit when the pocketbook is lean, and also that it is this self same merchant who reaches into his pocket whenever an appeal is made for funds for either public or private purposes. The time is at hand to show your apprecia tion of the man who stands by to help at all times for the suc cess of the Hood River country You can do it most effectually by doing your trading at home. Editorial Writing What sort of an editorial should an editor write after his candidates and party have gone down to defeat? asks the Amer ican Press. There have been two famous editorials two we recall that gained more than passing notice. Marshall Murdock, father of, the strenuous Congressman Vic-1 tor Murdock. was editor of the Wichita Eagle during the first Cleveland campaign. Murdock had been fighting Cleveland tooth and nail. Along about mid- i night, when the reports showed Cleveland was winning. Murdock j was asked by his night editor if he was not going to write an edi-1 torial telling hw it hapiened. Murdock waited until two min utes before press time; then, poising his pencil for an second, he wrote: "Have we lit?" And that was all the Eagle carried in commenting on the election the next day. The Chicago Tribune has the, record for even a shorter expres sion. The Tribune had been booming the Republican ticket. There was nothing but a Repub lican victory in sight, according to the Tribune, and daily before eU-ction it had to 1 its readers of the great victory to come. When the votes were counted and the Democrats were returned as winners, the Tribune's only comment on its editorial page was this on word: "Hell:" Every reader of the Tribune knew just how the editor fHt, and the word was expressive. t Editorial Comment. The first solid congressional delegation which New York will send to the House of Representa tives in many years on March 4th next, is burnishing its armor for the most belligerent campaign upon which the democratic host of Gotham has ever embarked in the national capitol. Led by Henry George. Jr.. regarded by the democracy of Mew York as one of the country's greatest political economists, the delega tion is to champion the American bread basket. It is going after the scalp of United States Sena tor Nelson W. Aldrich. of Rhode Island, chief sjKinsor of the Payne-Aldrich tariff and all that he stood for and represented as chairman of the senate finance committee. In the furtherance of that policy it is to single out for assault the principal meas ures fostered by the Rhode Island solon in the alleged inter ests of the rubber trust and the other monopolies subserved by the tariff he drafted. With the price of the necessaries of every day life from ten to thirty per cent higher there than anywhere else. New York has felt the pinch of the increased cost of living more than any other American city. For this it holds Aldrich largely responsible. Hence the disposition to concentrate fire on him and all his works. ADVISES GROWERS TO STOP CONSIGNMENT HABIT '(irnwt rs nf Wfiiatt-li'V ji ml Cnii mere have dimply U"t tn ini.

QUAD Con right. l!li). y Associated l it eiary Pre I'euciii Silas ti.Mxlliiie was a a-ood uiuu. ou may suy that ull ileum us uie garni men, and such is the cne up to a certain point. Tin? tiU deacuu lived two miles from the village aud his church, but every Sunday he was there. Some dcaccus wuuldu't have set out for that drive in a blizzard or a thunderstorm, but iK'iicuu Oocnlhuo uever mised a Sunday. Ou this particular occasion, however, much to hi Morrow, the deacon found himself interested lu the circus hills posted up on the highway barus. He reseuted his iuterest. He tried to chase It away. He wrestled with it as be hoed corn. He could have got the bet ter of it but for oue tbius. The com ing cirvu had ou exhibition au Afri can elephant weighing two tous. lie bad lost an eye and oue tusk, he bad killed five keepers, aud it was expect ed be would kill the sixth within a month. There was souiethiug lu this statement to appeal aud iuterest. "What 1 want." be said, "is to see that elephant. 1 want to look him over for about half an hour, aud then I shall he willing to drive back home." 'Brother (Joodhue," replied the min ister, "as I uuderstaud it, there are two tents. One Is for the menagerie find the other for the circus." "Ye, that's so." "One ticket admits to both." "It does." "And the menagerie Is the first tent you enter." "I guess so." "Well, the case seems to be right here, fan you enter the first tent and gnze on the elephant and not loug to enter the second, where the circus ia? It Is surely no fin to gaze on an ele phant, hut when it comes to a circus performance, deacon, that Is different, you know. You must tight this out aloue. You are a strong man, but the two ringed cirrus Is an awful tempta tion." He had n week to think it over. Sometimes he was strong in his self confidence, and again his knees wab bled. Why pay 30 cents to see the elephant alone when It would admit to all? Was It worth that sum to gaze on even au elephant that had killed five men? It was decision and indeci sion for a week, aud then the minister inquired if his mind was made up. "Not skassly," was the reply. "You doubt your strength?" "That's It. I do want to Bee the ele phant, and I don't want to see them gals in spangles, and I'm sweating over It." "Then wuuldu't It be wiser to give up the Idea?" The deacon weut home aud wrestled another day and then decided not to go near the behemoth. The circus came, and bis neighbors went, and a peddler came along the road and told him that it wai the grandest aggrega tion ou the face of the known world, and the words brought a lonely feel ing. The good man's reward was nt hand, however. Just at sundown he beard a great yelling down the road, and he looked to see a great cloud of dust. A haystack ou wheels was coming bis way, pursued by men and dogs. The deacon was at the barnyard gate with a milk pail ou his arm. As the hay stack came nearer he murmured to himself: "li'gosh, it's au elephaut. and he's broke away from the circus: He's the very oue I wanted to see, aud now there won't be uo temptation about it." ; Yes, the two tonuer had broken j loose and was looking for lumnir board. He was hiking straight ahead when be caught sight of the deacon . and the open gate aud the cows In the barnyard. He swerved aside and but-, ted lu. Brother Ooodbue did not un-, derstand the situation until two sec-i ends too late. He was seized and I thrown twenty feet high to come down, on the wagon shed with a broken leg. Then the four cows were picked up and toyed with. They were tossed over Into the road or slammed agalust the barn, and the deacon on the roof for-' got bis paiu as he gazed. Ills wagon ! was smashed to bits and his hayrack Hilled apart, and the behemoth played1 ball with a plow or two. I Of course the circus men were after him all the time, but the two tonner was out for fun, aud he didn't sub mit to Ixiudage until he had had It ; His last act was to burst through the J fence and walk up to the kitchen i of the farmhouse and pick up the well curti and the old oaken bucket and , send them sky high among the limbs of a cherry tree. Then he gave in and was led away looking as Innocent aa a lamb. The circus proprietors agreed to pay all damages, but as a matter of , fact not a cent was ever bad from 1 them. Iiurlng his three months in be Iescon Goodhue had many caller. Among them, as a matter of course, was his minister. As he sat down by , the bedside be asked: "Iieacon. w hat do you figure up the damage to be?" ! "'Bout five hundred, I ipiess." "I'm I wish I ronld pay It." "Oh, no one experts such a thing." "No. I ce.n t psv It, but I'll tell yon what I can do. I can advise you tbat when the next circus romes atonic you go to It. Ton not only go In and see the elephant, but the kangaroot, the camels, the giraffes and the hyenas, and then you get a front seat at the circus performance and stay nntll the last act Is over."
