Some friends of the STAR send- us the following clipping , and not mowing from what paper it was taken , we must let it go without proper credit : Mary had a little lamb , its fleece was white as snow , it strayed a- way one summer day where 1 ambs should never go. Then Mary set icr down , and tears streamed slow- y from her eyes ; she never found the lamb because she did not ad vertise. And Mary had a brother John , who kept a village store ; he sat down and smoked his pipe , and watche'd the open door. And as the people passed along , and did not stop to' buy ; John still sat down and smoked his pipe , and blinked his sleepy eyes. And so the brokers seized his stock , but still he lingered near ; and Mary came to drop with him a sympa thetic tear. "How is it , sister , can you tell why other shopmen here , sell all their goods so quick ly and thrive from year to year ? " Kemembering now her own bad luck , the little maid replies : "These other fellows fatten , John , because they advertise. " Notice to Creditors. * j All accounts due the estate of S. W.

Here's to the kicker , the faint hearted kicker , the kicker so help less and blue ; who always is crying and never is trying some good in his own town to do. No use to correct him , nor need you expect himto get to the front like a-man ; for while others rustle , he'll sit down and hustle objections to raise at each plan. . * . ' And when he arrives at the gates that are pearly , and views the blessed streets studded thickly with gems ; he will still kick and kick and kick and look surly , be cause they don't hang on a tree by the stem. And when he gets in , his wings will not suit him , they will either be buckled too high or too low ; and his kickety kick will will make Gabriel shoot him through the fire escape , to the regions below.

CONKLING , 411 Olive St. , St. Louis , Mo. 3-4 Home Patrons the Real Bene factors. It is purely selfish motives that cause people to patronize "mail order" houses. They think they can buy a little cheaper than at home , which as a rule , is not true ; but suppose it were true , they are building up outside stores at the expense of their own home mer chants. The effect is not noticeable at once , but the home stores and home market must depreciate as the home patronage is withdrawn. If good stores and a home market are not valuable why is it that land is worth several times as much when close to a good town ? In this connection it should be noted that the newspaper publish ers , with rare exceptions , are loyal to their home and country. Few persons sending away for goods in order to save a few cents know that every editor can get two or three times as much for advertis ing space from the mail order houses as the home merchants pay. But the editor looks ahead , he knows that as the home mer chants are starved out the need of the mail order houses advertising will decrease. The merchants are often to blame. An Oklahoma editor was at the depot and saw a farmer get a set of harness from Chicago. He tried to prove to the farmer that he could have bought the harness of a local dealer just as cheap , etc. "But , " said the farm er , " 'this is the first time I ever knew there was a harness shop in town. I have taken your paper five years and have never seen a word in it about harness. " It is not the men who donate city parks , build churches and libraries who are the great bene factors to their towns , for they are few in number , but the men who set the right example by pat ronizing home institutions even when they think they can do a little better by sending away. The newspaper should try to arouse interest in trading at home for it is of vital interest to both town and country , eventually af fecting the price of real estate , immigration , the schools and ev ery industry and activity.
