JUNE 12, 1914 PROMISES, NOT GUARANTEES A Mail Order House Baron Never Shovel His Patent Leather Shoes Un der a Poor Man's Table H is Victims Extend From Ocean to Ocean From 8unrise to the Last Chance. Copyrighted, 1914, by Thomas J. Sullivan. Said a clever quack to a painstaking business man, "How many of the pass ing multitude, do you suppose, appre ciate your honesty or understand the Impositions ot quackery?" "Not more than one In ten." was the answer. "Well," suid the quack, "you may have the one. I'll take the nine." That is the system upon which the mall order houses operate, and nothing more strikingly portrays the credulity of mankind than their success. Quack ery Is a thing universal and univer sally successful. In most cases It Is literally true that no imposition is too great for the credulity of man. The Quack Doctor of Commerce, The retail mall order house Is the quack doctor of commerce. It prom ises much and guarantees nothing. Like patent medicines, the directions are always on the inside, and you must buy a nonrcturnaule package before you can find out what they are. The mail order house never helped to build the little white school In your district or turnpike the road past your door. No mall order bouse ever took you by the hand when you were in distress and told you to let the little account run until after harvest next year. No mall order house ever sold you a vehicle and spent every cent of its profits in the community where you and your neighbors could get It nil back again. No mail order house ever shoved Its patent leather shoes under your table and rejoiced with you when you were glad, nor spoke en couraging words when affliction visited you, nor stood witli uncovered head beside the graves of your children. Sentiment Is Unknown. That the mall order houses are after your money Is an undisputed fact , Every dollar sent to them leaves your neighborhood forever. The mall order house may bear upon its face the semblance of friendship, but no human heart beats under its cloak of hypoc risy. Sentiment to it Is unknown. The whole institution is as cold and bloodless as a corpse. There never was a farm in all Christendom whoso value wus Increas ed by the mall order houses. They are parasites to which life is worthy of nutlco only while they enn draw the riimnclal blood out of the communities, to the upbuilding of which they con tribute nothing. They create no local market for the product of the farms. They have no property in tho country which can be assessed to help bear the burden of taxation. Can Duplicate Every Offer, In every town in tho country tho lo cal retail merchant stands ready to duplicate every offer seductively set fui til in tho catalogues 'df mall order houses, and more. Ho will trump the licit trick the mall order house ever played if you will put down spot cash and accept from him a class of goods devoid of respectable ancestry and iin which no reputable manufactur er's name enn be found, but in which the disease germs of prison made goods are secreted. He can sell cheap goods if you will buy them from him with your eyes shut Ho can meet the best price evor made by a mall order house if you will plank down your money and accept what he glvPB you without question and without recourse. But you must not expect him to tie in bis place ot business overy day in tho year, ready and willing to make good any defect, ready and willing to stand back of every article he sells with his own reputation and the warranty of a responsible compauy. Local Merchant Needs No Advocate. The local merchant needs neither ad vocate nor defense. Ills methods rest upon principles that have built up in this country a system of Internal com merce which is both the marvel and the admiration of tho world. His busi ness is legitimate because its success contributes to the general prosperity ot the community in which it stands as a thriving example of honesty and Industry. It does not require that a man shall be endowed with unusual mental at tainment for him to know that a pri vate monopoly In restraint of trade, de signed to wring extortionate profits from consumers, is detrimental to tho best interests of tho patrons of that industry. Any combination organized for tho purpose of smothering competi tion, whether it be of capitalists, cap tains of industry, laborers, farmers, warehousemen, transportation linos or any nthor branch of the business world, is essentially unethical, unwise and de structive of business In the end. The honest consumer must pat him self enthusiastically on the back when be spends his money in such a way that in supplying his own wants be Is helping to build up the community la which be lives. CRANKS AT SEA. Some of the Things With Which Cap tains Have to Contend. "Panic, more or less suppressed, seizes many passengers on an ocean liner when anything out of the ordi nary happens," said the ship's officer. "Often they are cranks who seem to be obsessed with the belief that their opinions will help navigate the ship, and who pursue the engineer or the captain with incessant advice. "On our Inst trip, which wus very rough, one old gentleman tiled to reach the bridge where the captain was and had to be halted by force. " 'But I want to ask the captain about the crew,' he fumed. 'Is the crew trustworthy? What shall we do if we sink? What shall I tell my wife?' "Two sailors were detailed to take him below with instructions to remain and answer his questions. "When we reached port his first act was to call on the president of the steamship company fur the purpose of giving notice that he would never trav el on another ship of their line. Said be: " 'It was only by a miracle that any of your passengers reached port at all. In the midst of all that storm, with the seu threatening to swallow us all, your captain slunk away where not u soul could reach him. '"I call that negligence!'" New York Times. LOST HIS OWN CASE. An Unfortunate Ccntradiotion That Queered Him In Court. A Cleveland lawyer tells a story about a woman from the country who wanted a divorce. When the case got into court the judge, disregarding for the moment the technical grounds, tried to find out the reul reason for the lady's desire to be separated from the man she hud lived with for so many years. The man himself was In court with a lawyer, and it looked as if he was going to fight the case. "Mrs. Dash." said the judge, "tell me what fault you have to find with your husband." "He Is u liar, a brute, a thief and a brainless fool!" answered the lady promptly. "Tut. tutl" exclaimed his honor. "You could hardly prove all that." "Prove it? Why, everybody knows ltl" "If you knew It, why did you marry him?" "I didn't know it before I married him." Then the husband spoke for tbe drat time. "She did, too!" be shoutcd.-Cleve-land Plain Dealer. Answered the Call. Floors castle, home of the Duke of Roxburghe, was tho scene of n curious psychical mystery over a century ago. Sir Walter Scott relates the Incident John, third Duke of lloxburgbe. who died In 1S04, the celebrated book col lector, when arranging Ills library em ployed neither a secretary nor a libra rian, but a footman called Archie, who knew every book ns a shepherd does each sheep of bis Hock. There was a bell hung in the duke's room at Floors which was used on no occasion except to call Archie to his study. The duke died in St. James' square at a time when Archie wns himself sinking un dcr a mortal complaint On tbe day of the funeral the library bell sudden ly rung violently. Tbe dying Archie sat up In bed mid faltered. "Yes, my lord duko, yes, 1 will wait on your grace Instantly." And with these words on his lips he fell back In bed and died. St. James' Uazotte.

The play "L'Uomme do Dcstln" was taken from the stage when Its triumph was at the zenith. One evening Napo leon, accompanied by bis friend Duroc, went in disguise to the Porte St. Mar tin theater, where the piece wus being performed. Eugene Chevalier appear ing as the man of destiny. Tbey bought a box. but had hardly entered it when the emperor broko forth in vtolont execrations against the "fool managers." It seemed that tbe decora' tors bad left in the box pots of oil and paint, and Into these tbe emperor bad stepped. Wild with rage, be rushed from the bouse and to. make matters worso was recognized in the lobby. No paper mentioned tbe Incident, but by order of the emperor the play was never produced again, unci Chevalier never appeared again as the man ot dcstlny-iind all on account of a little paint badly applied.
