Did you ever hear the chronic croaker
who takes ploaaure In predicting thnt
the town is going to tho dogH? Ho will
toll you how the seeming prosperity Is
all a hollow sham; thnt tho town Is
worse now than It ever was before; thnt
all who Invest their money In It are
blind to facts as appalling ax they are
plain. Years ago Philadelphia wns a
village about tho size of Roynoldsvlllo.
To It there came a young man, Benja
min Franklin, who after a residence of
a Tow years Invested his hard earned
cash In a small business enterprise In
the town. A day or two after doing so
he by chance mot one of theso onlnmity
prophets who scared Franklin badly by
pointing out to him his foolishness In
Investing money in a town doomed to
failure. Philadelphia, ho snid, wns tho
worst place on earth to cxneet success.
Franklin says thnt for tho time ho was
so thoroughly discouraged thnt had ho
boen able to got his money hnek ho
would never have settled In Philndel
phia. "nut," he contlnutcs, "I lived
to see the day when this croaker hnd to
pay twice as much for a lot ho bought
as he would have had to if he hnd
bought it when he was talking failure."
Every town has them. Tho prosper
ity of a town is much a matter of confi
dence between the citizens. ben
money Is freely invested prosperity will
come regardless of past conditions.
Thirty years ago Reynoldsvllle showed
few signs of ever becoming a large town
A lot on the corner of Main and Fifth
streets wbb traded off by David Itcyn
olds for a violin. A year ago tho same
lot, with an old wooden building upon
it, was sold for 10,0(10. Yet some said
the price was enormous and based on a
false estimate of the town's future. It
is to be noted that regardless of cala
mity howling the town does grow and
will grow and the man who invests his
money gets the profit while tho cronkor
has the satisfaction of enjoying the in
crease in prosperity which ho done
nothing to secure.
In the long ago there lived a monarch
known to the world as Sal ad in. By
power of genius and sword he spread
his dominion far and wide insomuch
that he became probably tho greatest
ruler of his time. With riches and
honor, and all he could wish, ho came
at last to death. And then tho vanity
of it all came to him. Ho commanded
that after his death they should take
his shirt, mount it high on a pule, and
carry It through the camp exposed to
the view of the soldlors who had gained
him his glory, proclaiming as they went
that of all the riches and the glory he
had got, this shirt was all that Saladin
the Mighty could take with him to the
grave.
So have men, humble and mighty, in
all ages and climes spent their lives
working day and night. In a recent
magazine artiole a prominent author
endeavors to prove that undor the new
vast systems or trusts, it is possible to
reduce the average working day to four
hours, and yot have the same compara
tive results as now In money earning
capaolty. This seems like a dream.
Maybe It is; but more likely it Is not.
We get into the habit of believing that
that wbloh is must be. The Reynolds
ville storekeepers formerly thought it
necessary for the convenience of the
publio to keep open their stores until
9:30 or 10:00 o'clock each night. Now
8:00 p. m. is considered a good hour,
Some suggested that the stores close at
6:00 p. m., thus bringing tho working
hours of clerks down to the average of
other labor. But the wise ones shook
their beads and said it could not be.
For the convenience of the publio they
must open alter supper. Yet the 6.00
o'clock closing does work in several
towns In this section. The publio can
accommodate Itself to muny things with
just as much ease as they followed the
old way. Why then will people persist
in laylng.upon themselves burdens both
unnecessary and of no profit? It is the
same In other professions. The work
ing hours can and will some day be
brought down to a spaoe considered in
credible now, It Is not life to sleep,
work and eat the year out. There is
and should be plenty of time for leisure
and tho pursuit of private employments,
would the people but insist upon the
' 'change. For with all the work and
' racing after riches there will oome at
" last to all the fate of Saladin a home
In the clay and a paltry shirt of all bis
life's labors.
Poetic Justice.
A Jorsoyman who went out for a
pleasure drive with his sweetheart not
long ago received a needed though rath
er severe lesson on the necessity of being
hutnano to animals In this doy and gen
eration. It was a very hot day, and
when tho drive wns about half over the
horse became bnlky. The driver there
upon lost his temper and gave the ani
mal an unmerciful beating. Then the
trouble begun. A constable saw him
nnd promptly arrested him for cruelty
to animals. Ho wns unable to pay tho
money, nnd his companion settled the
business for him. Then she wont homo
nnd wrote him a note and this Is what
It said:
"When a mnn will so brutnlly beat
a horso and so easily lose his temper, a
woman marrying him would take the
chance of tho same treatment." And
In the rest of the note released him
from tho engagement.
Most people will bo of the opinion
that tho young lady In question did ex
actly what wns right, and thnt she wns
fortunnto in discovering the disposition
of her fiance before, instead of after,
mnrrince. Insensibility to tho pain of
nnothor is not a trait which Is partlcu
larlv desirable in either a husband or a
wife. While, of course, it Is not to bo
Inferred that every mnn who will bent
his horso will nlso beat his wifo, cruelty
to nnimnls so vitiates the moral nnturo
thnt thoso perceptions upon which a
sense of Justlco depends nro blunted.
Tho Intimacy of mnrringo Is so closo
that hnpincss enn only exist where
there Is mutual forbearance together
with a certain sensitiveness to tho feel
Ings of others. Tho man who does not
possess this sensitiveness may not bo
actually cruel toolther wife or children
so far as physical mnl-trentment Is con
corned, but he will sny and do things
which are quite as brutnl b a blow with
a whip would be. There are a dozen
considerations which are likely to re
strain, him from wlfo-benting the opin
ion of his neighbors, custom, fear thnt
his wife mny Invoke the law, fear of re
taliatlon by her relatives, or merely
the fact that it is not usual for Amerl
can husbands toexpross their sentiments
in that way. But if his nature is essen
tially cruel he will find ways to torture
those dependent upon which are worse
than any physical pain. Tho true test
of a man's ehnracter is not to be found
in his actions when ho Is restrained by
public sentiment or fear of consequen
ces. He Is his real self when he is free
to act, to indulge mennness, or passion,
or cruelty, toward some creature which
cannot retaliate and has no means of de
fence. Tho Jersoyman who is the un
envlablo hero of the Incident above re
corded was subjected to tho test, and
apparently he failed. He may have
had an Idea that by his lack of consider
ation for his horse bo was showing a
manly and stern strength of character
which would Impress the girl in the
seat beside him. Some men have an
idea that women rather admire those
who are capable of cruelty. These men
are trying to fit sixteenth century ideas
into twentieth century civilization. It
cannot be done. It Is truo that women
admire a bravo man, and often the man
In question is a soldier or a hunter, but
there is a vory fine distinction between
the brave man and the man who is ever
ready to inflict pain. What tho modorn
girl sees to admire In the soldier is not
his willingness to shoot other men, but
his roudlnoss to be shot himself; not his
murderous Impulses, but his sacrifice of
personal safety. Tho kind of woman
who would like a man hotter after see
Ing him act cruelly toward a helpless
animal is not fit for a civilized country,

Patronize Home Industry.
"Patronize homo industry" is a good
rule for every merchant to follow as re
ligiously as circumstances will permit.
Buy nothing outsido that you can pur
chase just as well in your town. If all
followed this course would it not make
a marked improvement In local busi
ness? Encourago the practice of buy
ing at home by following it yourself.
Don't order your groceries from New
York to save a few dollars and then
grumble because Groceryman Jones,
whom you have Ignored, buys his dry
goods from a Chicago mall-order house
Instead of patronizing you. And don't
go to your local newspaper editor to
urge him to "roast" your neighbor for
buying goods out of town and then send
an order for statements and envelopes
to some Cheap John mail-order printer.

Dear Sir: You give full weight of
good coal.
So do wo 231 Inches to a gallon of
paint that lasts twice as long as old
fashion painter's paint, lead and oil;
and allow our agont to sell it on this
guarantee: '
"If you ha vo any trouble with this
paint, either now in putting it on, or
hereafter in tho wear, tell your dealer
about it.
"We authorize him to do what is
right at our expense."
We know a dealer in coal, who deliv
ered his coal with a publio weigher's
ticket (full weigh') invited complaints,
and actually exchanged tho coal when
complaint was made. He had half the
business; a dozen firms had the other
half.
We are 140 years old, but not too old
to soil paint as that dealer sold coal.
Wo like to pay damages when there
are any.
Yours truly,

Soft Coal Market.
Coal Trade .loiirnnl.1
Tho bituminous trade Is working up
into n more satisfactory condition as the
year advance. Thnro Is little difficulty
In finding purchasers for the licttci'
grades and at good prices. Thero Is not.
much of a market, for the shippers of
these nro not receiving nny too much
encouragement or facilities to run the
st uff In tho market.
There Is one condition In tho trad
that may be alluded to. That is the
increasing demand for the choice grades
The dealer hns found thnt In the long
run It pays him to buy the best grndes of
coal, for he hnslenrned thnt theconsum-
er has acquired an uncomfortable fash
Ion of keeping tab on the result obtained
from this fuel nnd is no longer to b
fooled Into paying for one grade and
accepting another. This is true of
the little householder as well ns tho car
load buyer, nnd the dealer nnd shipper
finds It now to his ndvantuge to got tils
customer the quality he wants nnd no
longer try to pass olt on him eonl that
is not tho grade hut "just as good."
From being a passive ngontln tho hand
of his dealer the customer has evolved
into al discriminating connoisseur who
can distinguish between coals and will
