Who sympathized with you when
your little girl was sick ? Was it your
merchant or was it Sears & Roebuck ?
Who carried you last winter when ycu
were out of a job and had no money V
Was it Montgomery , Ward & Co. or
was it your home merchant ? When you
raise money for the churches or for some
needy person in town , do you write to
the Fair stoie in Chicago or do you go
to your home merchants ? How much
does Siegel , Cooper & Co. give toward
keeping up the sidewalks of the town
or paying the minister's salary ? When
you were sick how many r.ights did
Hibbard , Spencer , Bartlett & Co. sit up
with you ? When your loved one was
buried was it your home merchant who
dropped the tear of sympathy and ut
tered the cheering word , or was it
Marshall Field & Co ? Exchange
Several persons saw a prairie hen
lying dead in the snow between the
telephone wire east of town Thursday
and nary one offered to pick the dead
bird up. The hen probably was killed
by striking the wire in it's ilight but
the game law would have held one
guilty of killing out of season had it
been found in one's possession. This
is a case wherein justice was outraged
by law. That bird would have taken
the place of a quarter's worth of pig
meat on someone's table had it been
lajvf ul to have picked it up and the
chances are that it would have been on
the editor's table at that for we observ
ed the high priced delicacy lying on
the snow early in the morning. Our
better half who was with us in the bug
gy advised us to get it , law or no law ;
but our mind reverted instantly to he
report of what happened to Adam
when he listened to his partner's ad
vice , and passed it up. Scotia Regist
