One who was drawn as a juryman In
Brooklyn asked to be excused from
duty on the ground that "the present
method of juggling the law" seemed to
him to be a waste of the Juror s time

be a citizen, much less qualified to
serve as a Juror." Most people will
agree with the Judge, because a
though the Juror as a citizen has
•right to his opinion on court method

was wrong In offering that opinion an
a reason for objecting to do citizen's
duty. That a man believes the exist
ing method of taxation to be wrong
does not excutie him from paying his
own laxes. A congressman may hold
that a declaration of war Is Immoral
and vote against It, nays the Youths

stimulating discussion of these prob-
lems will bo found In a recent book
by Prof. Joslah Hoyce, "The philoso-
phy of Loyally," wherein n man's duly

The unfounded report that the
ameer of Afghanistan had been as
sasslnated by his tribesmen probably
grow out of the fact that the nmeer Is
unpopular with some of the Moslem
tribes over whom he tries to rule.
This unpopulnrlty grows chiefly out of
fils fondness for European fashions In
(he matter of dross. For example, ho
frequently wears a plug hat on alato
occasions, and that sort of headgear
Is an abomination unto the tribesmen.
When thai Afghans say their prayers
they must do so with hare feet and
with their heads covered, and their
foreheads must touch the ground. Tho
brim of the plug hat, as well as the
crown, Interferes with this attitude of
devotion. Hence the ameer's seem

These plans are most excellent for
educating the people as to the re
sources of their communities. A Home
Industry day would no doubt be fhe
means of better acquainting the peo-
ple of each town with the resources
of each particular place and would
open up avenues little considered and
stimulate the establishment of new en-
terprises. The most good perhaps
would result from Ihe fact that the
people of each community would learn
of the products of their home place
and better realize how great the ad-
vantage would be to utilize those prod-
ucts Instead of using manufactures
from Other places. A Home Industry
day should not be for the business or
the professional people, but should
be a day In which all residents, men,
women and children, could participate
and all become acquainted with the
varied resources of the place. The
school children would find a visit to
the different factories helpful to them,
give Ihem a practical Idea of how dif-
ferent articles are made and broaden
their views as lo business methods.
Home Industry day can be Inau-
gurated In any town by the citizens
making a united effort. In fact, each
state could by legislative enactment
sot aside such a day with great bene-
fit to the state and Its people, and fhe
establishment of Home Industry day
might mean tho saving of millions of
dollars annually to the Btate. This day
could be rrtade one of real pleasure,
as well as a day of education and uni-
versal profit. Refreshments could be
served by enterprising manufacturers,
and other entertainment in the way of
music, etc, could'be utilized' In ma-'
king It a day long to be remembered.

Keep the Store Clean
It Is a well known fact that In manu-
facturing concerns clean surroundings
tend to a higher standard of workman
ship among tho employes. If this Is
truo of a factory which Is usually
hidden away from the public gaze,
what muBt be the moral effect
clean surroundings in a retail store
which has to depend upon the public
for lis welfare? If neatness In the
storo and display window Is attrac-
tive, elegance must be decidedly allur-
ing. That thlH latter is a fact
proven by Ihe elegant stores of many
twentieth century dealers who have
taken advantuge of the popular de
mand for cheerful surroundings to in
Corporate Into their places of business
a tone of elegance which would have
been tho wonder of tradesmen of .10
yearn ago, the majority of whom be
lleved that a slore should consist of a
few counters and shelves and a stock
of goods. The growing tendency of
tho time, especially In the cities
otio that demands modern methods
And In adopting these methods It Is
but natural that the window should
receive the first share of attention, as
It Is a magnet, having power to con
vert the Indifferent public into Inter
ested customers. What holds good in
the cities as to neatness and cleanll
ness, also holds good In the small
town. The storekeeper whose place
Is untidy cannot expect to make
great success. Country people abhor
dirt and slovenly habits about a store
as do the city folk.

Tho average retailer does not em

it In Ihe proper direction, In dealing
with the trade for his community.
The enemies of the retailer, the mall
order houses, are products of printers'
ink and know full well the value of
It. They are not anxious that the re-
tall dealers of the country wake up.
They are satisfied to allow conditions
to go on and- allow them, the mall-
order house, to get the benefit of the
trade which Is coming to them
through their aggressive advertising
campaigns If a merchant would fol-
low out their schemes of publicity
upon n small scale In his Immediate
territory, would get out some adver-
tising matter In the form of circulars
with prices and descriptive matter, It
would win. Tho way to fight lire Is
with fire, and the retailer has had the

him with little or no satisfactory re-
sults. Campaigns he has set up In

It Is a fact "Flour Is cheaper In Kan-
sas City than In Minneapolis." Other
sign boards tell by comparison that
taxes per thousand dollars of filia-
tion are lower In Kansas City than In
numerous other cities, and attention
Is called to the number of miles of
fine boulevards in the city.
Another means employed is the use
of full page advertisements In the
dally papers of the leading citizens.
These advertisements are carefully
prepared presenting various maps,
showing the advantage the country
possesses over other cities In differ-
ent industrial lines.
It appears that this plan of adver-
tising can be most successfully fol-
lowed out by the enterprising men of
any city. In tho smaller towns where
there are not great opportunities for
manufacturing, advertising to the peo-
ple showing Ihe benefits to be derived
from patronage of home institutions
could be profitably carried on. There
Is no town so Binall but that It can be
helped hy Judicious advertising.
Every town wherein a weekly paper
Is published there is a means of giv-
ing publicity to the advantages pos-
sessed by the place. The home paper
Is one of the most telling and force-
ful advertisements any town can have.
Br*ry advertisement of a home InsLI-,
tutlon speaks for the enterprise of
the place, and to strangers Illustrates
the spirit and enterprise that Is pos-
sessed by the people. It Is always
II to boar In mind that seekers for
homes and for business locations never
pick out the dead towns. A small
town where the people are enterpris-
ing often holdB forth to the prospec-
tive settler greater opportunities than
do the larger cities.

Ten to one, I go up," whispered
Wilson, Jubilantly. Being on duty
long after the other reporters had fin-
ished work, he was not due at the of-
fice until three o'clock. His summons
fit that hour could therefore have but
one meaning; the new man was to be
-£iven "police."
This Is Mr. Tomlins, Wilson," was
the editor's curt Introduction. "He's
to have your run. and you're to be
tried on 'marine.' Take him around
tills afternoon and introduce him. and
Butler will put you on to the ropes of
your new run to-morrow. No Bpecial
assignments to-day; only, lookout for a
follow-up story on that State street
j robbery." Follow-up storleB were Mr
Edwards' hobby.
"Come along, Tomlins," said Wilson,
somewhat ungraciously. He was dis-
appointed at getting nothing better
j than "marine," which permitted short-
hours, but demanded more "trotting
around."
Getting acquainted with the other
men on the staff was rather slow work,
the average term of police reporters
being Bcarcelv long enough to warrant
Immediate friendships. But gradual-
ly tho name of Tomlins—Tommy Tom-
1 Ilns, It was—became familiar, and
j Its curly-headed owner was accepted
j on a basirj of newspaper camaraderie.
For the first few nlghta, the new
I reporter accompanied Wilson to Bler-
fc' li s, the "place" where, after mid-
i night, every member of the staff,
from the managing editor to the copy-
boys, lingered over a chop or a sand-
wich and a mug of beer, and enjoyed
the first real respite of the long day.
But, after two or three visits to Bier-
Bach s, Tomlins stopped going to sup-
per with the others.
Where do you feed now?" de-
manded Wilson, after Tomlins, on
three successive nights, had declined
his Invitation to "go over to the
Dutchman's."
"I live only a short way up the
street," explained the little man
straightforwardly, "so I go home for
lunch."
It was nearly a month later when
Little Elsie, who had recently re-
turned from a visit to Washington,
was describing to her companion some
of the wonderful things she had ob-
served In the Capitol City.
"One evening," said she, breathless-
ly, "papa took me to have supper at
a grand hotel where' the dining room
was awfully big, and at the tables
around us sat great senators and rep-
representatives with their wives, all
| drinking champagne!"
"I suppose the manners of these
great persons wercf perfect?" ventured
her companion, with widened eyes.
"Yes," returned Elsie. "But," she
added, with a sudden burst of enthusi-

Even the city editor, as he noted how J

remarked to the night editor one
evening, after reporting that every- j
thing in his department was "cleaned j

"What!"
"Sure. She stays as long as he

"Well, wouldn't that craze you?"
The night editor agreed that It

presented and with the alleged fact : the city editor, while locking up his
j deBk one night, exclaimed In an
i amused undertone to Blake:
"Look at that!"
"What?" asked the assistant, Im-
paling two short Items on a spindle,
and clearing away with a single sweep
! the debris of several hours' copy-
j reading.
"Tomlins."
Blake turned, and saw tho police
reporter effusively greeting a rather
i pretty girl, a year or two his junior,
who was standing smilingly on the
| threshold.
j "Who is she?"
"From the telephone office, prob-
| ably. He has his nerve with him,
bringing 'em up here!"
| "Learning city ways fast. Not such
a child, after all!"
The city editor smiled grimly. His
work for the day was finished, and he
felt In fairly good humor.
As he and Blake passed out, Tom-
lins kept on talking with his midnight
that they are saving considerable
money by buying In that way.
The fact that the article is not su-
perior and Is really considerably
higher priced does not appear, for the
reason, perhaps, that the local dealer
has never taken the trouble to adver-
tise his wares, or has never called
the farmers into his store and shown
them the article, made comparisons
between It and the peddled article
and showed them that he, the dealer,
1b actually the one who is saving them
money, not only In the first cost, but
In repairs and wearing qualities as
well.
There Is too much of a disposition
on the part of most dealers to take
II for granted that their customers—
or those who might and should be
their customers—know all about their
stock, Its qualities and prices, as com-
pared with those that may be put up
to them by the peddler or Ihe mall

Mrs. \\ ilson had a young Japanese
servant who had a habit of trying
to conceal from his mistress any
breakage of dishes of which he
chanced to be guilty. The good lady
explained that It was wicked to de-

tell her whenever he broke anything.
The boy promised to do as she ad-

was entertaining some friends In the

while Tomlins rcburled himself in the
details of Ihe conilagratlon. But the
city editor's wrath was uroused; he
■cowled and bided his time.
"See here, Tomlins," he said, sharp-
ly, as the police reporter turned In

added, brutally, "to chase women."
Tonilln's cheeks turned scarlet, and
Tomlins' coming was as regular as
clockwork. New men came and went,
but Tomlins held his position. His
wife's presence interfered not with the
garnering of police news, and there-
fore troubled no one. But, without
warning, her visits suddenly ceased.
