TORTURED WITH ECZEMA.
Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body
—Scratched Until Bled—Wonderful
Cure by Cuticura.
"Last year I suffered with a treman
flous Itching on my hack, which grew
worse and worse, until it spread over
the whole body, and only my face and
hands were free. For four months or
*o I suffered torments, and I had to
•cratch, scratch, scratch, until I bled.
At night when I went to bed things
got worse, and I had at times to get
up and scratch my body all over, until
I was as sore as could be, and until I
Buffered excrutiating pains. They told
me that I was suffering from eczema.
Then I made up my mind that I would
use the Cuticuria Remedies. I used
them according to instructions, and
very soon indeed I was greatly re
lieved. I continued until well, and
new I am ready to recommend the Cu
ticura Remedies to any one. Mrs.
Mary Mctager, Sweetwater, Okla.,

Bucks to Stop Pursuit.
Pursued by an indignant farmer
whose tame ducks they had shot for
wild fowls, two young and ignorant
hunters saved themselves from cap
ture by the farmer and his angry
friends by throwing a duck away
whenever the pursuers gained on
them.
They must have read somewhere of
the ruse of travelers in Siberia
when hard pressed by wolves. The
farmer thus got back all of the elev
en ducks which had been shot, but
he did not get the young men, for
whom he is still looking. He was in
the city to-day looking for them and
telling his story to every one he
met.
Cost of a World-Wide Patent.
To protect an invention all over
the world it is necessary to take out
sixty-four patents in as many differ
ent countries, the estimated cost o!
which is $2,500.

developed sense of humor so much

BUY AT
PROMINENT MERCHANTS
Discuss Interesting Topics Relative to
Catalogue Houses.
Patrick Casey of the Potter-Casey
Mercantile company of Aitkin, Minn.,
In a recent interview in the Aitkin
Republican, says:
"The local merchants can sell goods,
quality considered, as cheaply as mail
order houses, and invite patrons of
such houses to submit their lists ot
goods wanted to the local merchants
before sending away.
"The interests of the
merchant are identical.
gaged in building up—the merchant
is building up his business and the
farmer is developing his farm and
making as much profit out of it as pos
sible. Each is dependent (and will be
more and more in the future) on one
another for their prosperity. The mail
order patron sends away for his goods
because he believes he can buy them
at a lower price. The merchant
claims he can sell as cheap as ilie
mail order house. The mail order
patron is as loyal to his home town
and county as anybody else, and if he
believes he can buy at home as cheap
ly as he does abroad, he will buy at
home."
It would seem that the essential
thing necessary for the well being and
prosperity of any town and the sec
tion of the country contiguous to it is
a better understanding between mer
chant and farmer—a studying of each
other's viewpoint
Merchants Must Advertise.
In his address, at the Rochester,
Minn..Merchants' association last week
Mr. J. .1. Reiter, among other matter,
discussed the mail order house ques
tion. He said:
"The merchants curse the catalogue
houses. In many cases the farmer
and others who patronize the mail or­

The Mail Order Question.
The Razoo publishes a cartoon' in
which the artist graphically depicts
the result to the average small town
if the consumer continues in increas
ing numbers to send his money to the
big centers.
The small storekeeper will have to
go out of business.
The small towns will "run down."
The farmer will not have the pleas
ure of hauling his grnin t" town over
good roads, selling his grain, doing his
shopping with his good friends and
neighbors.
There won't be any town. Nor will
there be any good roads.
"Live and let live" is a good motto
and it suggests the query, "Do«
pay to injure your town and
storekeeper who has honest goods to
sell, which he is willing to show you
before you buy?"
If, as is conceivable, the consumer
is reduced to the necessity of doing
all his buying of houses hundreds of
miles away, will he not be at the mer
cy of those houses?
There is much common sense in
this agitation against the mail order
houses.
And it will pay you, Mr. Consumer,
to ascertain before, you send away
again to the house in the big center
to see if your own storekeeper can't
supply your needs just as well and
cheaply.
Think whether it won't pay you to
help your own town. And reflect that
if everything isn't exactly right, you
won't have to go far to get it rectified,
if you buy of your own neighbor!

WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE MAIL ORDER HOUSE GETS THE
CONSUMER COMPLETELY IN ITS POWER.
der house could do just as well or bet
ter at home, and ought to patronize
the home dealer. But in many in
stances the Rochester merchant is
still to blame. The mail order con
cerns send out huge catalogues with
fine illustrations and quote prices. Do
the city merchants take one-half as
much trouble to advertise their goods
as do these other concerns? The
largest catalogue house in existence
has stopped all newspaper advertising.
Because it doesn't pay? No, most as
suredly not. Simply because there

Each is en- enough circul'iiion to pay them to ad
veitise. Their mailing list includes
more names than any periodical has
subscrioers. It would be necessary for
them to place their ads in so many
newspapers to rtaeh the few names
they have not got on their lists, that
it would be useless expenditure. When
the newspapers of Olmsted county
cannot carry advertising to enough
names, not customers of any certain
merchant in the city, to be a good in
vestment for that ,merchant, he will
have a good excuse to quit advertis
ing. But that, time will not come dur
ing this generation."
As to Parcels Post.
"The parcels post bill, if passed,
would result in the ruination of many
merchants. And farmers must remem
ber that the things which vitally in
terest the merchants should be of in
terest to them. Take away the small
cities and villages and the farmer
would see the greatest calamity which
was ever known to befall him. The
interest of every merchant is Insepara
bly connected with the "velfi re of ev
ery dealer with him. Not only the
merchants but every person who
owns property or must patronize a
dealer should protest against this
outrageous bill, called the parcels
post. Do not wait until it is too late."
Come
One of tlie*finest. most beautiful and
most sensible adjurations in the Eng
lish language is this: Be neighborly!
Think, Mr. Merchant!
The Razoo is infonnr-d by a St. Paul
jobber that the "Selling to Consumer"
catalogue houses number among their
customers one or more merchants or
merchants' wives in every small town
of the West.
This startling bit of information
looks like a man handing another man
a club with a request that it be used
to beat the giver's head off.
The merchants who do this should
have a think and logical thinking, in
the premises, can have but one con
'usion and point to but one action—
at action being quit.—St. Paul Ra
zoo.

TRAGEDY THE ROCKS TOLD.
Story of a Murder Nearly 100 Years
Ago Graphically Declared.
Among the many romantic spots
In Western Pennsylvania none is
better known, perhaps, than White
Rocks, near Uniontown. This par
ticular spot was made famous by
Philip Rogers willfully casting Polly
Williams, to whom he was engaged,
down the face of the rocks into the
dark depths below, causing her death.
This event, which occurred in Au
gust, 1810, has been done in song and
story, but the plain facts have never
been related more clearly than by
Charles B. Pennington of Carmi
cliaels, Pa.
"Polly Williams' parents moved
from Fayette county, Pennsylvania.
Into Ohio," said Mr. Pennington,
"leaving Polly in the care of a neigh
bor family to be married to her be
trayer, Philip Rogers. The couple
stole off together one day, she from
his work, I believe at an uncle's, and
met at an appointed place. She. it is
supposed, was under the impression
that he was going to take tier to a
preacher to be married. Some time
afterward a couple of girls were gath
ering huckleberries at the While
Rocks and noticed a small piece ot
clothing on a bush near the edge of
a rock. They looked over the preci
pice and saw a dead person lying, lie
low, which, on investigation, proved
to be Polly Williams.
"Rogers owed bis freedom from jus
tice to the efforts of his lawyer, but
it is said that he lived a miserable
life, and some who knew him said he
scarcely ever slept but. would lie in
bed and chew tobacco all through Hie
night."
EXPENSIVE ECONOMY.
To Save a Penny Sometimes Costs
More Than a Pound.
I have seen a lady spoil a pair of
fine gloves trying to rescue a nickel
from a mud puddle. Several people
have been run over by street cars or
teams in New York while trying to
rescue a dropped package, a hat, an
umbrella or a caue.
A Paris bank clerk, who was car
rying a bag of gold through the
streets, dropped a ten franc piece,
which rolled from the sidewalk. He
set his bag down to look for the lost
piece, and, while he is trying to ex
tricate it from the gutter, some one
stole his bn and ran away with it.
