(Copyright by Alfred C Clark.)
As on the western prairies In
pioneer days, the trapper's camp fire,
kindled to prepare his frugal meal or
to warm him from the biting wind,
fanned into renewed vigor, spread,
first on the tiny blade of grass to
neighboring blades, and thence to the
tangled masses all around until the
broad plains were one vast sea of
; seathing flame destroying all before
It, eo the mail order business, started
In the eastern cities cn a s*niall scale,
| fanned by the breeze of Judicious ad
vertising, has spread until it now cov
j ers the length and breadth of our land
I and threatens disaster to the smaller
dealers everywhere. The note of
warning has been sounded, the light
is visible in the sky, and yet, appar
ently oblivious to it all, the ones
whose safety is being endangered,
| heed not the alarm nor the signal of
! disaster. The country merchant and
the farmer, whose combined efforts
can stem the tide of destruction that
threatens to engulf them, are alone
; unconscious of the approaching devas
| tation, that, like a great sea of con
suming Hume, is threatening to engulf
i them.
The country merchant and the farm
-1 er —the simple, honest dwellers in the
1 rural districts, are the victims this
| gigantic peril is reaching out for to
j fill its rapacious maw. Each year its
i grasp becomes firmer, its power
| greater. Only a few short years ago
! the catalogue house was a thing un
j heard of, to-day it stands as one of
| America's greatest institutions. And
j with great fortune comes great pow
j er. so now the mail order business
J may well he classed among the powers
i of the nation. Its efforts are already
I being felt at the national capital,
The Endless Chain—lt Keeps the Dollar at Home Where It Belongs.
■where our laws are made, and unless
a check is administered the passage
of the parcels post bill will mark one
of its greatest triumphs.
But let us look at a few of the
simple reasons why the farmer should
patronize the home dealer. In the
first place their interests are cen
tered in each other. Every season of
plenty on the farm means a prosper
ous year to the country merchant. So
in the prosperity of the farmer does
the country merchant expect to gain.
The farmer finds, therefore, in the
country dealer, a staunch and loyal
friend and a defender of his rights.
They pay taxes together, live side by
side, their children play and goto
school together. When the crops are
poor or misfortune comes, to whom
does the farmer look? Not to the
mail order magnate, but to his neigh
bor, the country merchant. How
often does the mail order concern
take any interest in the political ques
tions or legal measures beneficial to
the farmer? Yet with their bright
hued catalogue of pictured "bargains"
they reach out an open hand for the
farmer's hard earned dollar. And
do»s he get value received? Not
often. The first order he may, but
that is only a bait. The business is
not founded on principles, it is not
builded on honorable methods, its
mighty walls are erected on graft.
The goods are shop-worn or shoddy,
or perhaps many kinds of goods have
defects so cunningly concealed that
the naked eye can scarcely see a dif
ference between these articles and
those of a much higher grade. You
are expected to send cash with the
order or have it ready when the
goods arrive with the big C. O. D.
mark on the package. Your crop fail
ure, or shortage of money doesn't in
terest the mail order house, your
credit with them is good only so long
as your pocket book is filled. Your
order is made out and you pay for
goods you never saw, put up and se
lected by men you do not know. If
these goods do not prove to be worth
the money, if the shoes do not wear
well, or the stilt is shoddy goods, will
the mail order firm make them good?
Not often. Yet the local dealer will
do this. He knows his honesty is his
best drawing card. So much for the
advantage of dealing with honest men
and not with grafters.
Still other issues present tliem
pess stations or branch houses
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1907.
selves In this connection. With the
rapid growth of the mail order busl
are being established. These large
firms are daily reaching ou"/or new
sections of trade. What will be the
result along this line? With the
growth of the catalogue house comes
the death of the rural mercantile
trade. Let them once destroy the
country merchant and the markets
of tho world will be In the hands of a
few wealthy capitalists. Their branch
houses will appear In all the country
towns and the farmer will no longer
be independent. His friend, the coun
try dealer, who through competition
wa3 forced to pay the value of the
butter, eggs, etc., will be a thing of
the past, and in his place will appear
the fat, gloating face of the capitalist,
in whose benumbed conscience there
is no thought of pity, whose breast
contains instead of a heart a great
lump of cold stony gold, whose one
ambition is to build up a greater for
tune than the world has ever seen,
and who cares naught for the tears or
trials, woes or weeping of his victims
so long as he can squeeze a little more
of the coveted glittering treasure from
him.
Again, the dollar spent with the
local dealer stays in the community
where it blesses the spender over and
over again. The merchant pays it to
the butcher for meat, tho butcher gets
his bread of the baker and therefore
drops the dollar into the baker's till,
the baker pays It to the miller for
flour, and the latter buys his grain
from the farmer, so the dollar once
more jingles merrily in the farmer's
trousers pocket. But spend it with
(he maH order house and it is gone
never to return. It goes to build up
the great commercial in'erests of New
York or Chicago. Does it pay the
farmer to send his money to help
beautify and build up these great
cities? Has he not more interest in
beautifying and building up his own
section of the country? If not., he
should. If a place is good enough for
a man to live in and to make his
money in, it is good enough for him to
spend his money in. Who helps build
the churches, school houses, streets,
bridges, etc.? Does the mail order
house help? Will they give a dollar
to educate the farmer's children, or
donate anything to support the farm
er's widow or orphans? Do they help
to pay the taxes, or add anything to
bring comfort or necessary improve
ments in the country places? Then
why should the farmer patronize
them? By actual test it has been
found that the same goods can be pro
cured as cheaply, if not at more rea
sonable prices, at home. Trade with
your neighbor, whose interests are
your interests, whose hand Is always
ready to assist you in time of trouble.
Patronize those who patronize you.
Use the flashy catalogue of the mail
order house to help kindle the kitchen
fire, and keep your money at home
where it wiil benefit you and your
neighbors over and over again. The
farmer's dollar, earned by honest toil,
should not be added to the blood
money of these great mail order cor
porations. The farmer must join the
local merchant and the country editor
ia battling this great peril that is
creeping, creeping onward with great
rapidity, and unless these forces are
combined and their efforts prove in
creasing, the day is not far distant
when the chance will be gone forever
—the power will be too great to con
quer.

Snakes Reared for Their Skins.
The idea that snakes are useless
creatures and shouM be exterminated
wherever found, will have to pass
away, says the Shoe Trade Journal,
as in Australia they are now being
systematically reared for the sake of
their skins, which have a considera
ble commercial value in London,
Paris and New York. Snakeskln is
the fashionable material for slippers,
belts, bags, purses, jewel boxes, card
cases, dressing-table accessories, etc.
Rabbit trappers supplement their
means considerably by catching young
snakes and extracting their poinson
ous fangs. The blacks are also ex
pert snake catchers. To them the
snake is an agreeable article of diet.
The Fortune Tempted.
A well known British nobleman was
actually engaged to Miss Coutts, but
on her challenging him one day wheth
er it was her personality or her great
fortune which appealed to him he
frankly acknowledged that although
he was much attached to her, her vast
property had been his special induce
ment in betrothing himself.
Her reply was characteristic: "Let
us then remain the best of friends in
stead of being the poorest of lovers."
PERMANENTLY CURED
Of Kidney Disease by Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy.
Mr. C. M. Bartholomew, of Kalkaska,
Mich., was a sufferer in 1886 with
i what all, including physicians, called
j Bright's Disease of the Kidneys. Doc
j tors said there was no help for him.
| As a last resort he used Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. The
j symptoms disappeared and he was
| permanently cured by this great rem
[ edy. His case was a remarkable one
' and attracted great attention. Now,
in 1906 (20 years after) Mr. Bartholo
| mew writes that he confirms all that
he said in favor of Favorite Remedy
in 1886, and again endorses its use.

Fire Record for Last Year.
The fact that when a servant be
comes master a cruel foe is suddenly
developed Is attested by the dreadful
I havoc and loss of life occasioned by
fire in the United States within the
12 months covered by a summing up
i of these losses for 1906. This record
shows that nearly 7,000 lives were
lost and more than $500,000,000 worth
of property was destroyed by fire dur
ing that period. In no other country
in the world is the fire loss, in bulk
or pro rata, anywhere near our own.
Last year, owing to the devastating
fire that followed the earthquake in
, San Francisco, this loss was in great
excess of the average, but the average
for some years past has been $200,-
! 000,000 a year.

ONE WAY OUT OF DIFFICULTY.
Match Twins with Twins, Was the
Fond Mother's Idea.
A little woman entered a drug store
and asked the proprietor if he had "an
other picture."
"What kind of a picture do you
mean?" the druggist asked.
"One like this," said the woman,
holding up an attractive advertising
print.
"I may have one or two of them
left," the proprietor said, "but I
haven't many of them."
The woman said she only wanted
| one. and her tone indicated that she
was anxious for that one. She ex
i plained that the one she had with her
had been given to one of her children.
I Another child, she stated, was sick,
and was crying for a picture such as
his brother had.
"That's a bad way to bring up your
i children," ventured a woman customer
\ in the store. "Do you try to give a
child everything he cries for just be
-1 cause liis brother is more fortunate?"
"But," said the mother of the chil
! dren, "you don't know. The children
are twins and what one has the other
wants."
"Suppose," objected the moralist,
"when your children get older, they
fall in love with the same girl, what
will they do?"
But the mother was ready. She
promptly replied:
"Find twins and fall In love w!U»
them."
DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couple's Experience.
How many persons dread to eat their
meals, although actually hungry near
ly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
or eat too much, and there you are—
indigestion and its accompanying
miseries.
A Phila. lady said, the other day:
"My husband and I have been sick
and nervous for 15 or 20 years from
drinking coffee—feverish, indigestion,
totally unfit, a good part of the time,
for work or pleasure. We actually
dreaded to eat our meals.
"We tried doctors and patent medi
cines that counted up into hundreds of
dollars, with little if any benefit.
"Accidentlly, a small package of
Postum came into my hands. I made
some according to directions, with sur.
prising results. We both liked it and
have not used any coffee since.
"The dull feeling after meals has
left us and we feel better every way
We are so well satisfied with Postum
that we recommend it to our friends
who have been made sick and nervous
and miserable by coffee." Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Natural Washing Preparation.

shores and bottoms are covered with
a crust containing borax and soda in
such quantities and proportions that
when cut it serves as a washing com

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a Spedflo
For Anaemia and a Safe Family
Medicine.
When the body becomes run down,
either as a result of overwork, worry
or a severe illness, an examination of
the blood would show it to be weak
and watery. Thi3 condition is called
anaemic, which is the medical term
for ' bloodless." The common symp
toms are paleness of the lips, gums
and cheeks, shortness of breath and
palpitation of the heart after the
slightest exertion, dull eyes and loss
of appetite.
Mr. Louis L. Clark, a painter, of 19
Lincoln Place, Plainfield, N. J., says:
"Last May I was obliged to undergo
an operation for appendicitis and
while the operation in itself was suc
cessful, I did not recover my strength,
and health. I was conHned to my bed
for over a month and was under the
doctor's care. When I was able to
get up my legs were so weak and un
steady that I could only walk with a
cane with difficulty.
"I was getting no better and could
not think of going back to work. I
was discouraged, when a neighbor
told me that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
had cured her and advised me to try
them. I began taking them about th»
middle of June and soon felt so much
better that I kept on and was cured.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cur
ed rheumatism, chlorosis, after effects
of the grip and fevers, and, as th«
health of the nerves depends upon th«
purity of the blood, they are invala
