The professional grain shippers over .. dozen big state* tributary to Chicago number an array. Many of them, have grown rich from the farmers' wagon, by a 2D years’ ttay at their station* Some of them have private banks, some have bought farms, all are pro* perous. This house has not a word against these people. It Is not doing business with them. It Is doing busi ness v.lth an army of farmers. It l a* given producers the best prac.'t al hci. i li.c • 'he railroads made the big centi i markets possible. If 10,000 farmer* have discovered that they have no further use for 1,000 country gialn buyer?, they nave a per fect right to go past them, fill the!: own ears, and ship their own grain. Many year* ago farmers discovered that the old reaper and the obi double shovel ore-horse cirri cultivator were too slow. They left them In I lie fence corners and bought Improved ma<hin cry. The manufacturers did not kick They met tbe demand with self-bind ers and riding sulky plows. 'I he world has grown tired of many old things. The farming world is getting tired of paying others to do what it can do it self. If farmers wish to desert the local shippers (who may have been needed 40 .fear* a£°)» no amount of mulelshncss on the part of the ship pers cm stop them, (.rain shlppei* have an organ to keep up their cour age. Their publication has again filled Its columns with abuse of the farmers commission house. It is a case of sore tor. They howl because they are aui-. The farmers understand till* sort of warfurc made on the house which has put them In tot'C’.t with Chicago, T heir letters to us show thr.t they believe this fact. viz. that If there Is enough In grain shipments to fight for. the farmers want that margin. All that Is now needed to spread direct shipments Is tonic well-developed opposition, Farmers are In a frame of mind to do about as they please this year. We welcome any fair and honorable a* tentlon from the paid organ of grain shippers, and will sec that its attack* are well spread before Independent shippers and Independent thinkers Id a thousand farmtug communities. We have assurances that our efforts tn be half of farmers will he fully ap preciated and reciprocated. Any man or any house may he glad of a fair criticism from the enemy with such an army at. his lack, hut unjust, malig nant attacks, made with the Intention of vilifying and injuring us, are differ ent.

(By Amy Randolph^ ND you think Vd really better adver tise!” said the Rev. Septimus Hlxon. "By all means,” said Maj. Clark, "put yourself in di rect communication with the general public of Snag town; that's the only business way.” Mr. Hlxon a tall, pale, close-shaven young clergyman, sat In his Gothic study, with a vase of rosebuds before bis sheets of sermon paper, and a slack of new pens all placed ready for use, Maj. Clark, short and stout, with a fringe of white whisker.! around his rubicund countenance, waa smoking a cigar on the doorstep. Mr. Hlxon disliked the odor of Havanas, and Maj. Clark despised the rosebuds. But they were both mildly tolerant of the other's weakness. Maj. Clark had an Idea that It looked respectable to be on social terms with your clergyman, and Mr. Hlxon, who had only recent ly accepted a call to Snagtown. de pended a good deal on Maj. Clark's thorough acquaintance with the peo ple and the place. And, to speak truth, the beautiful, rose-garlanded parsonage was not al together without its thorns. Mr. Hixon knew nothing about housekeeping, and the old woman, who had always man ; ged the domestic helm for his prede cessor, had Just retired from business on a legacy. And the topic which Maj. Clark and he were discussing at .hat espre al momerjt was how to re place Betsey Ann Suedecor. So. Mr. HIxon took the major's ad vice and inserted an advertisement In 'he Snagtown Weekly Trumpet. The major gave It to the editor with the dollar which was to guarantee its prompt Insertion. And the Snagtown Weekly Trumpet had not decorated the breakfast table of the citizens for half an hour on the Wednesday morning of Its Issue when Mr. HIxon, studying out the "fifthly'’ of his next week's sermon, was startled by a tap at the door, and In walked a lady. A young lady. And rather a pretty lady, with a flush on her cheeks as red as the Kev. Mr. Hlxon's own rose buds, p.-etty brown hair and dark blue eyes veiled with long lashes. “Ah!" stammered Mr. HIxon, rising rather awkwardly, "how do you do, Miss Lennox? A fine morning after the rain. Pray be seated—pray favor me by occupying this chair!” For he had seen Barbara Lennox several times, tailed once at her fath er's snug little farmhouse, and put down her name In his list of people to be visited frequently. He liked Bar bara, and he did not think that Bar bara disliked him. There are somo people with whom we feel that we should like to be better acquainted. And pretty Barbara was one of these, classed on the white pages of the min ister’s memorandum book. So, of course, when she came to the *tudy that July morning, looking sc fresh and pretty In her pink muslir dress and gypsy hat, with Its wreathi of daisies, ho was a degree or so more awkward and clumsy than usual. | "But I can't stay," fluttered Bar l.ura; "I have come to see you on bust dobs, Mr. Hlxon.” "On business. Miss Barbara?” •'Yes.'' nodded Barbara; "I hav< reen the paper this morning,” "Oh!" said Mr. Mixon, reddening u| to the roots o' his hair, as he remem bered the advertisement. "Ah. yes Have you any trustworthy persot whom you can recommend?" "Myself," said Barbara. Mr. Hlxon moved back his study .-hair, thereby seriously tnconvvnlcue Ing the tortoise-shell eat, wh'ch wai asleep iu the sunshine dost Uehiui him. "You!" said he. "Yea," eald Barbara; "why not? sm stub a mere ueelesa doll In th< world now. Dos t you think.

"As If I cared for that.” said Bar bara. ”My work Is light," added the clergy man, "and of course you would have a great deal of time to yourself.” “Oh, but I want to he kept busy.” pleaded Barbara. “1 I am afraid you are too young," said Mr. Hlxon In desperation. “Too young!” cried Barbara. “What difference does that make?” “People might eay gossiping. Ill-na tured things,” reasoned Mr. Hixo'i, looking very hard at the tops of the cars of the cat, which hud by this time jumped Into Miss Lennox's lap. "And much as I should appreciate yo’tr kind offer—” ‘‘If you won’t take me,” said Bar bara, springing to her feet with a red spot glowing on either cheek, "I'll go to Mr. Symington, the Baptist minis ter.” "I don't think he needs one.” said Mr. Hixon, also rising and looking per turbed. "Needs what?” "A maid-servant,” explained Mr. Hlxon In the b'unt way In which your I^ttin scholar sometimes blurts out his facts. “But,” cried Barbara, with very wide-open eyes, “who Is talking about g maid-servant?” ''You,” aalfJ Mr, Hlxon. “Aren’t t-rtu ?>• "Indeed I'm not," said Barbara. “Didn't you allude to my advertise ment for a servant-maid, which ap peared In this morning's Snagtown Weekly Trumpet?" asked Mr. Hlxon, feeling as If the world were all turn ing upside down, and he were losing his hold on creation in general. “No," said Barbara Lennox. "I al luded to an editorial In the same pa per which called the attention of the public to the lack of workers In the Held of domestic missions.” Mr. Hlxon heaved a deep sigh. "Dear, dear," said he, "how very redlculous. I must have made myself—” "What must you have thought ol me?" cross-questioned Barbara, sud denly perceiving the weak side of her own position. And, without waiting for his response, she dropped the as tonished cat and flew out of the study, crossing the old orchard, where the cherries were winking their scarlet eyes through the leaves, and at length losing herself In the woodB beyond. “I have offended her," said Mr. Hlx on to himself. "How clumsy I must have been! I must go after her, at once!" He did so, overtaking her Just where a rustic bridge spanned the quiet brook below the woods. "Barbara," he pleaded In piteous tones, "Miss Lennox—I didn’t mean to say anything which could offend you!” "Oh!” cried Barbara, “I am not of fended. I am only vexed and angry with myself!” "Barbara!” “Yes, Mr. Hlxon!" “You are determined not to try the situation?” Her eyelashes fell. “I am not worthy even of that, Mr. Hlxon.” "Barbara?” "Well, Mr. Hlxon?” "If you won’t be my mission Sunday school teacher, will you be my wife?” "Mr. Hlxon!” we can ai least worn lugeuier, r>ar bara, in our Master's vineyard," said the young clergyman solemnly. "And ever since I have been here I have felt that I lacked something to get force and energy to my daily ministra tions. I know now what It Is—a wife! Dear little Barbara, will you marry me?" "If—If you think I am good enough," said Barbara, drooping her head so that he could scarcely see the shell pink glow of her cheeks. So they took the advertisement out of the Snagtown Weekly Trumpet, and were married quietly—and Mrs. Septimus IHxon brought with her to the parsonage a faithful old domes tic, who asked for no better lot in life than to work for "Miss Barbara and her husband." And Harbaru has at length achieved the great longing of her life-a mis sion! She is a pattern clergyman's wife, an earnest worker, a faithful mis sionary in the home Arid. And Mr. IHxon has cut the little advertisement out of the village paper, and preserves It among his dearest mementos. 1 "t didn't advertise for a wife." said 1 h«. "but I got one Kb.
