Origin of Scotland's Motto.
It was thought by the Danes to be
cowardly to attack an enemy after
nightfall, but on one occasion when
they were waging war in Scotland,
they deviated from their usual rule.
On they crept noiselessly and unob
served. In their bare feet upon the
unsuspecting Scotchman. When near
the camp one of the Danes trod upon
a thistle and in his pain cried out
This aroused the sleeping Scotchmen,
and they gave the alarm. The Danes
were defeated with terrible' loss of
life, and ever since that time 'the
thistle has been the insignia of Scot
land, with the motto: "Nemo me im
pune lacessit" "No one provokes me
with impunity."
Dugald'o Explanation.
Staying at an Inn In Scotland a
shooting party found their sport much
interfered with by rain. Still, wet or
fine, the old-fashioned barometer that i
hung in the hall persistently pointed
to "set fair." At length one of the
party drew the. landlord's attention to
the glass, saying: "Don't yon think
aow. Dueald. there's something the
. matter with your glass?" "No. sir,"
replied Dugald, with dignity; "she's
a gwde glass and a powerful glass, but
she's ao awved wi trifles."

of 10.000 people! Bat this is just
what has been done within the post

grocers and dry goods merchants ia
large cities joining "soap clubs" and
paying a dollar each month to a for

such is the drawing power of "the

Some means should be devised to
tax directly or indirectly the con
cerns in foreign cities that seek to
do business directly with consumers
through the mails. . At present they
are protected by the iaterstate com
merce law. These concerns make
their money by dealing with the peo
ple of some community, where they
pay no taxes direct or ilcease fees.
The merchants of the town are
taxed upon the business they do. Is
this proposition a fair one? The for
eign insurance companies doing busi
ness in a state must pay a license fee
for. so doing. Why not compel the
foreign mercantile concern to do the
same? Our national laws should be
so constructed as to provide that
there be a tax on the amount of busi
ness transacted in a state, by any
mercantile concern in another state,
unless the business be transacted by
concerns which pay taxes within the
state for the doing of such business.

Give Charm to Town.
Attractive streets, wen paved, good
sidewalks, clean appearing buildings,
signs arranged well, all go. to add a
charm to a towa. One of the things
that often gives strangers to a towa
a bad impression is the loose manner
in which storekeepers and others take
care of the exterior of their places.
Often not a sign about the place is
to be found to designate the character
of the business carried on, and this
can only be knovsi by a peep through
the open door. The windows are
often arranged in such a way as to
give little knowledge of the goods
handled. During' the summer time
awnings hanging low over the walks,
so the passer-by must stoop to avoid
them, are found in many places. Just
a little care is needed to improve
along these lines. An attractive sign
does not cost much and is a good in
vestment for the storekeeper. Clean
liness in front' of business places
makes a good impression. In fact
strangers will seldom enter a store If
the outside appearance Indicates slov
enliness and carelessness. The up-to-date
merchant win always be found
with a well-cared-for establishment
It is quite often you can tell the busi
ness importance of a man in the com
munity by the appearance of his store.
Make business places attractive as
possible. It may cost you a little
money, a little extra labor, but it will
pay in the long run. -
Building Up Trusts.
During the past ten years billions
of dollars have been sent to the large
cities by the residents or rural com
munities, and these billions have been
need in building up trusts that work
against the best interests of the
masses who reside In agricultural sec
tions. Is it not time to awaken to
the dangers of sending money away

are ef the poorest material.
One ef the tricks employed Is the
ase of eld sheet Iron for lining.
Throughout the south and in maay of
the large northern cities the manu
facture of artificial Ice is extensively
carried on. Galvanized iron cans of
the capacity ef a 300-pound ice-cake
are seed, and la every large plant
thousands of cans are ia use. The
ammonia that ia ased in the process
of freezing boob causes the cans to
corrode, and then they are rendered
useless for the purpose required. The
stove manufacturing concerns buy up
these discarded cans, and use them
for lining stoves. It can be judged
that the life of the stove in this way
ia shortened, but as the stoves are
never intended to last long, the lining
is as good as the other material
which enters into their composition.
In appearance these stoves are all
that can be desired, but their wearing
and durable qualities are not half that
of a properly made stove should be.
They are often sold at as high prices
as the best article, but more frequent
ly are disposed of as "big bargains,"
and are dealt in extensively by con
cerns that advertise themselves as
"manufacturers," and do business "di
rect with the consumers" through the
mails. Makers of stoves who put out
brands of goods known to be standard
never resort to such methods, as one

HOME NEWSPAPERS.
Are Factors in the Enlightenment sf
the People.
This is an era when the business
man who would succeed must place
the right value upon publicity. This
is the most enlightened era the world
has ever known. Only a small per
centage or the people' particularly
among the EngiibU speaking) cannot
read aad write, and in fact it Is a rare
thing to find an illiterate person in
aay American community.
Ia every farmer's house can be
found from one to a dozen newspa
pers and periodicals.
The old-style farmer is fast passing,
and there is a general admission that
intelligence, in fact scientific training
is needed on the farm as well as in
the basiaess house and factory. With
telephones, daily rural delivery serv
ice and every innovation of civiliza
tion, the American farmer is fast be
coming noted among the educated and
advanced classes. They are readers,
thinkers and logicians. Growing gen
erations in agricultural communities
have all the advantages that the youth
ef cities have, and few of the disad
vantages. They surely breathe a
healthier moral atmosphere. The
farmers are the main support of the
country press. They feel interested
in all local affairs, and the home pa
per is the means of keeping them in
formed of things going on Immediate
ly about them. If the average mer
chant would give as substantial sup
port to the home paper as does the
farmer, the editor would' not only be
enabled to give the farmer a better
paper, represent his interests better,
but the merchant would receive a ben
efit in seeing his town improve and
its business increased) and all his
environments improved.
Overcrowded Fields.
The growing seriousness of the mail
order houses cutting into the trade of
the country merchants no doubt will
bring about a change in their methods
of, doing business. The keepers of
stores in small cities and towns must
change from obsolete ways and adopt
modern mercantile methods, or seek
some other vocation.
In the small towns the expenses of
conducting business are less than
in the large city, and while it may' be
true that- goods cannot be bought for
the prices paid by the big city dealers,
and freight rates in some cases may
be higher, conditions 'could be bet
tered If the merchants would only set
about to meet competition as they
should.
A district containing an average
population can support only a limited
number of stores. Too often it is
the case that there are more stores
than is needed to supply the wants
of. the community. Such a condition
is caused chiefly by those who desire
to enter mercantile life, exercising
poor judgment in selecting a location.
They enter an over-crowded town and
fail to follow sound good business
principles. The result is failure, or
a mere struggle and an injury to the
interests of the town in which they
are located.
"It Pays to Advertise.,,
The merchant who believes "that
advertising is just throwing away
money," can hardly hold out well
when there is any competition to
meet He might succeed in running a
crossroad store in some pioneer coun
try,' but he has little place in the
business world where it is essential
I that up-to-date methods be employed.
