Thia is largely duej to the great mail-order bualmosa at Chicago. One of the mail-order houses there recently declared an extra dllvidlend which, at the current, price of l'ts stock, Is worth eighteen m SI Ion dol lars to lts shareholders. At the cur rent price, Insiders in this house have croabodfor themselves a total profit of seventy millions In five years' In five years the volume of sales' near ly doubled, and last year the net profits amounted to almost' twelve per cent, of the giroaei Gales. We write, this for the consideration of country merchants who are oppos ed to the parcels-post. . The size, profits and rajptd growth of the mall order business seem to show that, to meet the competition of that business with success, the country merchant must look beyond any such feeble protection as high express rates may now afford. The figures we have quoted suggest, how feeble that protection! Is. Buying In quantities for cash and ft- i!nig for cash constitutes! two large e' entente in 'the success of the mail Ov'W business. Why may not, the "country merchants, by co-operating do both?

He ran, to , the house, got, a rllfle and shot the beast. We had a bid out, tor Christmas dinner today, and I Just arrived from Enterprise to the I bouse of our host, lni time for the dinner, my folks nieetlnig me there. We reached dome tonight Just at dark, and as we drove up to the yard gate, our log, which was with us, ibegani bark- Tnere stood a coyote anoint xu i'eot away andi between us and the house. My boy lighted! a match and threw It at the coyote, which snarled and bit at It. Finally the dog worried the coyote to one side of ho yard and the boy mode a dash :nto the' house, got the, rifle and shot the beast. So I would advise all people to. take warning for your chlldreni and yourselves. I never had much faith In the coyote scare, hub when one of -hem gets, in my yard toeween, me .nd my houae, and at a distance of 10 feet of me keeps pacing back :uid forth showing no fear, it looks bod. Every word of this is true. Yours truly, J. S. KENVILLE. 5 "Mad Stone" Cure Only Superstition Got; Reputation, By Being Applied To People Who, Were; i ; Immune, By W. H. Lytle, State Veterinarian The old superstition, that a stone known asta, "mad stone" would cure or prevent rableo in people 1b with out foundation and .was only made possible of belief by the 'fact that only a certain' percent of people bitten, will develop the disease. Hence when this stone was applied to cer tain, people's wounds that would not have developed the disease) had) they not been treated' at all, lit received a false reputation. As am Immedi ate .precaution all wounds Inflicted should be allowed to bleed freely, they then should be cauterised with a strong acid or a .hot, Iron. By the tying of a ligature on a pendant portion of the body and causing It to remain, on some tea or more hours until the limb has swollen. has been known prevent, the m feet Ion; this should be attempted only in, animals such as horses. Peo ple should always be given thej Pas teur treatment which is known to prevent, the disease. The heads of all supposed rabid animals should be cut oiff and ex pressed, packed Id a box together wKh a letter gtvlnig the clrcumsitanc ea surrounding the cose, to Dr. Calvin S. white, room 602 Dekum building, Portland, Oregon. This should always be done where an animal has bluten people or other animals as by an expert, examination of the brain of theupptwed rabid animal it can, be definitely deter- mined whether the, animal was ac tually rabid. This will give ample time for such person as may have been bitten to take the treatment to prevent the development! of rabies.
