Story With a 31 ral.
Recently a church congregation
in a little Kansas town built a new
church. To pay for it , they were
obliged to call on the merchants
of the community for donations-
The merchants responded liberal
ly , and § 300 was raised from this
source. The last man asked to
subscribe was Johri * Smith , a jew
eler. "I will give you § 20 if you
will let me add something to the
subscription list , " he'said. . " The
permission was accorded him and
he wrote at the foot of the list :
John Smith , jeweler § 20.00
Sears , Sawbuck & Co 00.00
Montgomery Fraud & Co..00.00
The church people saw the point
when the minister read from the
pulpit the list of donors to the
building fund , and since the dedi
cation of ths church there have
been no mail orders sent out from
out that Kansas town. Ex.
The most complete assortment of new spring ideas and
recl.y-io-Yveir garments ever shown in the. . city.
