An Iowa fanner contributes to ; the Des Moines Capitol the follow ing very pertinent suggestion as to i why the mail order houses sueeeed in getting the business of the rural i communities away from local mer chants: ! "If the mail order houses get: $1,1)00 out of this county each ; month that belongs to the home merchants the fault is with the mer chants themselves. The mail or der houses advertise and give us prices on everything they ofler for sale. They tell us what they have ' and what they want For it. Of course we get soaked once in a : while and if we do we can try , some other house. Most of the home merchants who advertise at j all don't quote prices. They neg lect to tell us what we want to know the price. Of course we can go to the store and ask the price of this article, and that, but you know how it isone doesn't know so well exactly what he wants to buy when he gets in a store as when he is at home. And there is where the mail order houses make their hit. They send their advertising matter into homes and we read it when we haven't anything else to do and every member of the family who reads their stuff usually finds something that he or some other member of the family wants and many orders are made up and sent out just at such times. "Kight here is where the home merchant falls down. IF he talked up his business to us in our homes the same as the mail order houses do the people would be in to see him thei next time they came to town and in many cases extra trips would be made to get the things at once that we didn't know we j wanted until they were brought to ! our attention.

It is frequently stated that the j chief reason why French marriages are, as a rule, happier than ours, lies in the fact that the wife's dower secures her from those monetary disagreements which are at the root of much matrimonial misery.

WHUN A MAN MARRIES. When a man marries, Trouble begins; Buttoning waists, And putting in pins. Looking at bonnets To see if they're straight; Keady to star), Then having to w ait, Hunting for robbers, 1 1 mler the bed; Housed in the night, Por a blanket to spread, When the rain comes, Though you're wrapped in repose, Roused with a shout, All the windows to close, Summoned at morn, i To start up the fire; Get in the milk, In your scanty attire, ; Run to the store, For the food you would eat; Gel in the ice, Ere it melts in the street, Hurry to work, Hurry back with your pay When man marries So passes a day. Detroit Free Press CHASING RAINBOWS. Orrison Sweet Murden in "Suc cess Magazine." How many people go through life deluded with the conviction that if they could only get a little more money, get into a little more comfortable position, own a little better home, or if they could only get over the particular trouble that is annoying litem at the time they would be so happy ! I know a man who bad a very hard boyhood, suffered great pov erty, who is now 50 years old, and he has always honestly believed that if he could only get the par ticular thing he was after, or get over the particular difficulty that wasannoying him at the moment, he would be perfectly happy; but he is the same anxious, resiles:-, ex pectant spirit today as when a youth. I le has been quite suc cessful and has done some remark able things, hut lie is invariably in hot water. There is always some thing that nettles him, or destroys his happiness, and, although he is ,i well meaning man, lie lias m.ule his I'amilv, his employers and ev- rybody about him very unhap py, necause lie is always tretnng and worrying, always borrowing trouble. AN KASY ONE. A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Try ing to make the matter clearer, he said, "Now, boys, if I stood on my head the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I should turn red in the face." "Yes, sir," said the boys. "Then why is it that while I am And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zaccheus, make haste and come down; for to-day 1 must abide at thy house." Luke xix. 5. Our Saviour for the first time in vited Himself to a man's house We may feel ourselves quite as unlikely to entertain our Lord as Zaccheus seemed in be; and yet, perhaps at this hour, He presses Himself upon us. Will we re ceive Hun ? Zaccheus was a man in a de spised calling, a publican, a lax gatherer for the Romans, over their prostrate people, the Jews. He was in bad odor with all re spectable folk. He was rich, with the grave suspicion of getting his wealth by dishonest means. He was determined and eccentric, otherwise he would hardly have climbed a tree to carry out his pur pose. Hut if there was no other way to carry out his desire, he would even do that; for see Jesus he would. He was not the choice of any class of society, in any re spect. ! Yet to such a man Jesus came, ! and He will come to us, if we as j earnestly desire to see Him. I There was a necessity which pressed upon the Saviour, and which led Him to abide in the j house of Zaccheus. Looking at j his heart, the Lord saw a sinner I who needed Him, and who would ! gladly accept his mercy, a person j who would illustrate the sover eignty of His choice, a character I whose renewal would magnify Rheumatism I liavH (omul u tried itinl tst-I 'iir" fur Kinij.

YOU AT SUPPER WITH THI- LEGIS LATORS. A drummer stopped at a hotel in Montpelier, V't., when the legis lature was in session. It was the headquarters of many legislators. At the supper table they began to call upon each other to pass the food in this wise: "Will the man from Bradford please pass the rolls?" "Will the gentleman from Essex pass the pie?" "Would the man from Portland please pass the butter?" The drummer had been unable to get anything, and during a brief interval of quiet he turned to the colored waiter and remarked, Will the gentleman from Ethiopia please pass the bread?" CHICKENS OP LEISURE. At a breakfast party in England which Joseph H. Choate attended while he w as American ambassa dor a young lady at his right acci dentally spilled the contents of her plate. "Oh, Mr. Choate," she exclaim ed, "1 don't know what to do, for I've dropped an egg on the floor!" "If I were you I'd cackle." A REMARKABLE BABY. Mrs. (ioldvein. of Cripple Creek. having come into a fortune through a lucky strike, set up a country home near Denver, where she lived in style. One day w iuie she was showing some of her old time friends about the place they came to the poultry yard. "What beautiful chickens!" the visitors exclaimed. "All prize fowls," haughtily ex plained the hostess. "Do they lay every day?" was the next question. "Oh, they could, of course, but in our position it is not necessary for them to do so." Lippincott's. A teacher disturbed by giggling called upon one of the culprits to tell him the cause. "Please, sir," responded the lad, "Turner says a baby who was ! fed elephant's milk gained ten pounds a day." "Turner," said the teacher sternly, "you should not tell lies." "But it's true, sir." rejoined Turner. "Whose baby was it?'' "The elephant's, sir." MET HIS MATCH Him with hearty hospitality.
