A DESERTED VILLAGE
Tom Plowman hved on a se<
hon farm not far from a pros
per*. :s village: He worked late
rnd early and calloused his
palm, but thrived by indue
iric tillage. lie saved up
some money and stood very
veil, bis luck w\ aid have lasted
for atl we can tell, if he never
heard of Chicago.
One day a big catalogue come
through the mail, that told of
s wonderful he :er: The fig
ures were tempi-.ng. T re. -wal
lowed the tale, says he “Oh
Merchant's a cheater. 1 -
profit must be near a hundred
pet cent.. I'll just call his bluff
and unless he’ll relent. I ll o
oer a stove from Chicago.”
So he drove to the village an ’
red the store, with an atr
that was loftly and knowing.
- re. "Mr. Merchant, please
tell me once more, the price of
that stove you were showing."
•Thirty-five, cash or credit.
?he best one in town.” Torn
turned on his heel and went out
with a frown, and sent off a
check to Chicago.
He bragged to his neighbors
and they in a trice, sent away
for whatever they needed; They
often were stuck, but they go!
a ’ w price, which, of course,
wa- the one thing they heeded,
their merchant soon failed and
sold out his store, and this wi
the notice he left on his door:
’Gone to look for a job in
Chicago”
Tom’s mail order stove didn't
work very long, but no on? in
tow n could repair it; At last he
wa- forced to admit he was
wrong, his neighbors weren't
slow to declare it. With no
store; there was no one to buy
or t the drummers stoppe ’
com: g. they closed the hole1,
'iw - surprising how quickly
the town went to—well, a very
long way from Chicago.
The lawyer, the doctor, the
editor, too; they all got cold
feet very quickly; the parson
: soon noticed the way the wind
blew, he left, for his children
were sickly. At last Tom de
cided to sell his old farm, but
no one. he found with the
greatest alarm, would buy one
so far from Chicago.
When blank desolation star
ed Tom in the face, his courage
grew weaker and weaker, till
he made up his mind to get
put of the place, and go on a
| jaunt as home seeker. So ho
i put on his overcoat.packed lip
: ins grip, says he. ‘i'll be giv
' ing my neighbors the slip, for
1 must be off to Chicago.”
When he got to ttie station to
! Tom's great surprise, he found
i deserted and dusty, inhabited
only by spidess and flies, ant
the siding was crooked and
r ~ y. the trains flew by whiz -
ng. Tom wasted in vain.— says
he. ‘‘Neither merchant nor
doctor nor train will slop any
.place but Chicago."

pared with 5.373 vessels in 19
12 and 4.909 vessels in 1911.

with 132.912.000 francs in 19
12. and in 1911, when the gross

tons le-s. the receipts were
131,02 4,000 francs, almost 9.

Confution.
Three ladies as they shot In an obser
vation ear California ward through the
auperbest scenery in the world fell to
talking about dogs.
■ I don't know a thing about dogs."
said the first lady. "They’re nil just
dogs to nn*. If 1 have a preference,
though, it's for the eel)”
"Cobs are nice—so affectionate,"
agreed the second lady. "But I’m no
dog sharp either. Still. 1 must sny my
choice of a dag would be a mustang.
They're such good watch dogs, aren't
they?”
•'I don't know one dog from auother."
said the third lady. “1 just divide
them into big dogs and little dogs. I’m
very fond of a hackney, though—1
mean, of course, for a lap dog.”—Chi
cago Record-Herald.
Her Superior Engliih.
James Ross anil his daughter Janet
from Canada visited relatives in Chi
cago recently. Day after day Janet
and her father went sightseeing, al
ways together.
Janet's aunt, noticing this, one day
suggested that she Jet her father go
downtown alone some time, jokingly
adding. "Men do not like to have wo
men always tagging along.'1
"Aye. ahnty. but he wnhnts me." ex
plained Janet earnestly. "He canna
thole to stir oot o' the hoose his lane.
Ye wadna beleeve boo fasht he is ony
where wi'oot me. Ye see, falther
tan ks sic braid Scoatch that stranger
folk dinna ken what it's a' aboot, an1 1
bae tae gang wi1 him tae dae the con
verrsin.”—Everybody's.
Not So Dutiful.
“Where will Mrs. Dobs go now that
both her daughters are married—to her
son-in-law's house in Birmingham or
to that of her son-in-law In Leeds?"
“One wants her in Birmingham, and
the other wishes she would go to
Leeds."
“What dutiful sons-in-law!"
“I beg your pardon. The one in Bir
mingham wants her in Leeds; the one
In Leeds wants her in Birmingham.”—
Loudon Tit-Bits.
The Basis of Society.
The wealth and strength of a conn
try are its population, and the very
best part of that population are the
cultivators of the soil, independent
farmers are everywhere the basis of
society as well as the true fr.ends of
llbertj —Andrew Jackson.
