You want to see the storekeepers prosper, and the banks bulge with deposits, and the towns- people wearing glad clothes, and the farmers falling over each other to conic in and buy new hay rakes and patent plows. Of course you do. Be cause, likewise of course, when things are that way you get your share of the general prosperity. But what are you doing to contribute to the general prosperity? Are you patronizing home industries in preference to outside industries? Do you buy your clothes and groceries and gar den tools and so forth here at home? Well, you admit, you do send away for a good many things you happen to see advertised. Aha! And are they advertised in this paper? Ko, indeed—in the mail order journals and catalogues. Quite true. And you would just as soon buy them here if they ^vere advertised by the local merchants, wouldn’t you ? Why, yes. Well, now, there’s a neat hint to some of our local store keepers and dealers who perhaps haven’t discovered why they are losing a lot of home trade which they ought to keep. It’s a wise business man that knows his own opportunities. In “The Land of the Sky.’* Hmr the SappWjre Country. principal. K. 0* Subjective Cigars. When a man smokes a cheap cigar instead of an expensive or moderate priced one it is not always because he may have his pocketbook to consider,” said a New York physician as he re cited the following Instance in proof: “An old friend of mine, a former col lege professor, who resides in the city, smokes the vilest cigars made. He is the best tempered old fellow you ever saw, and splendid company—if it weren’t for his cigars. He swears the bran^l he smokes are as good as Ha vanas. Once he said to me, ‘My friend, believe me, the cigar is what we call subjective, and not objective. That is to say, it is what we think it is, and not what it seems to other people to be. So, you see, my cigars, that cost me only $1 a hundred, are as good as you would call the best and pay maybe ?20 a hundred for.’ “It is a great advantage, no doubt, to a man w’hen he loolcs on all things like a philosopher. I told my professor friend that his cigars might be sub jective, for all I knew, but that they were fearful, and I should like it if he would smoke a cigar that w^as more objective. But he only smiled. The old fellow is so chock full of philoso phy that he simply cannot see any thing as other people see it.”—New York Times. “He Loved the Children.” Thackeray’s words were satirical, and he himself was called a cynic, but the author of “Love Affairs of Some Fa mous Men” shows what sort of a heart beat In the satirist’s breast by quoting front the letter of one to whom the fol lowing incident happened: “In the week following his death there appeared some genial memorial lines in the pages of Punch. Walking down the then unsavory thoroughfare known as Bedfordbury, my «ye caught the open page of the popular periodical, and I stayed to read the graceful trib ute to the dead moralist. Turning away at length, a poorly dressed man in working garb said to me: “ ‘I* knew that man, sir.’ “ ‘You knew Thackeray?’ I asked. “ ‘Yes, sir. I keep that little baker’s shop yonder,’ pointing to the opposite side of the street, ‘and many's the time Thackeray would come and buy a pound or two of cake of me. I cut it into slices for him, and then, distribut ing it among the crowd of hungry chil dren, he would walk away and hide in that court over there, that he might have the pleasure of seeing their eni03'- nient. He didn’t
