A great big secret I will tell;
We're nt the close of the old year

The new year is a leap year too.
Last leap year I was entertained
by my landlord who put my rent

TyrONli2Y is a ooniiuoilil.v that will buy overytliinjf, savo
J-VX hoallh and happitioVs; anil it is a univoi'sal trans
port to evorvwhoi'o, savo hoavon."
ISo runs a popular qiu(atiou. But money won't buy
any of the things worth having. It won't buy lovo ami it
won't buy friendship; it won't purchase virtue or niaico a
man honest, industrious, tcmiperato or just. It won't buy
the individual, genius, talent or ability. It comes near Do
ing a universal transport to demoralization.
JKichos spell powPr, bill do not confer the ability to
properly use this power. Many an acquisitive miser in his
Dnlaco is noorev in all that is worth while than his spend
thrift neighbor in a hovel and really of less moment in
the life oil tho world, for "the crown of the wise is their
riches, but the foolishness of fools is folly."
For a man to become very wealthy he must of necessity
seize what belongs to others, hence great wealth is fre
quently a synonym for selfishness, avarice and greed, so
"Let not the rich man glory in his riches."
Par fewer people can stand prosperity than adversity,
for adversity strengthens, and prosperity demoralizes.
Riches all too often 'corrupt, weaken and effeminate. As
Solomon said, "He that hasteth to be rich hath tin evil
teye."
Sir Francis'Baeon, who believed m wealth as long as it
was got justly, used soberly, distributed cheerfully, and
left behind contentedly, says in his essay on "Riches":
"T cannot call Riches better, than the Baggage of Ver
tue, The Roman Word is better. Impedimenta, h'or as
Baggage is to the Army, so is Riches to Vertue. It can
not be spared, nor left behinde, but it hindredth the march;
yea, and the care of it, sometimes, loseth or disturbeth the
victoiy.
"Of great Riches, there is no roall use, except it be in
the distribution; the rest is but conceit. So saith Soleman:
Where much is, there are inairy to consume it ; and what
hath the owner, but the sight of it, with his eyes?
"The personal fruition in any man cjfnnot reache to
feel Great Riches: There is a custody of them, or si power
of dole and donative of them, or avfame of them; but no
solid use to the owner.
"As Solomon saith: Riches are as a strong hold, in
the imagination, and not alwaies in fact. For certainly
Great Riches have sold more men, then thfcv have bought
out." .
And they sold Bacon himself, for in the acquisition of
wealth he prostituted his own brilliant talents, became a
sycophant, time server and traitor to such a degree that
Pope pronounced him "the wisest, brightest, meanest of
mankind."
And so avc have the world's wisest and richest admit
ting that "the rich man is wise in his own conceit, but the
poor that hath understanding searcheth him out, and echo
ing for futurity Agur's prayer:
"Remove me from vanity and lies; give me neither
poverty .nor riches; feed me wHh.fobd'c5nveniontfor me.

T.FIE-:AIL TRIBUNE is in receipt of a copy of "Lend

he state prisoners at Salem. It is full oft matter interest

Va,t outlines his prison policv, while the editors pay their.

"Not on your life," Iho denier replied. "No i

The customer complied.
"Now U cents for postage and5 conls for a money

"Certainly, you have (o send a letter and, a money
order to a mail order house, you know,"
The customer, inwardly rjivjng, kept to his agreement
and paid tho ntckel.
"Now Uo cenls expressage."
"Well; I'll In ," he said, but paid Heaving. "Now
hand me that saw and I'll take it home myself anil be rid
of this foolery."
"Hand it to you' Where do you think you are? Von 're
in Oklahoma and I'm in Chicago, and you'll have to wait
two weeks for that saw."
Whereupon the dealer hung the saw on a peg and put
the money in his cash drawer.
"That makes $1.07," he said. "It has cost you 2 cents
more and taken you two weeks longer to get it 'than if you
had paid my price in tho first place."

TO BUILD UP THE CITY.
A'
rrBNTIOtf is called to the article published else-
ivhere in this issue describing the .Joliot, Jllmois,
public market, which has furnished a satisfactory solution
of the problem of hrintrimr the producer and consumer to
gether with mutual profit, and brought about a material
reduction in the cost of living.
In this connection the communication-written by W. V.
Toner is interesting. Mr. Toner, who is an auctioneer,
suggests that an miction bo held each Saturday in con
nection with a Saturday bargain day, wherein farmers and
stockmen can, dispose of livestock. Such a feature can be
added to the public market with profit.
With a public market, a Saturday bargain day and
livestock auction pulled off weekly, in addition to public!
lectures and entertainments, an effective way will have
been found to attract the farmers to Mcdford with mutual
profit to producer, consumer and merchant.
This is the way to build up Medford. To accomplish
it, cooperation effort is needed all along the line.
A MAIL ORDER DEAL.
EkX ftl3$The L7mp That
TLTE following from "Square Dealer" forcibly illus
trates the usual bargain secured by purchasing from
a mail order heuse:
Down in Oklahoma the other day n man went into a
store to buy a saw. lie saw tho kind he wanted and asked
the price. It was $1.05, the dealer said.
"Good gracious," said tho man. "I can get" tho same
thing from Sears, Koebuck & Co. for $1.35."
"That's less than it cost mo," said the dottier, "but I'll
sell it on the same terms as tho mail order house just the
same."
"All right," said the customer. "You can send it along
