AGAINST MAIL ORDERS.
'• Let thf C ountry Merchant* 1'roaper."
the Miituuri Governor Said.
Governor Folk's addrests to the re-
tail merchant* of Missouri at their
convention in Jefferson City last Tues-
day was the feature of the session.
The trovernor said:
"We are proud of our splendid cit-
ies. and we want them to iucrease n
wealth and population and we als
want our country towns to tfrow. We
wish the city merchants to build up.
but we also desire the country mer-
chants to prosper. I do not believe
in the mail-order citizen. If a place

aud to make his money in, it is good
enough for him to gpend his money in
"No merchant can succeed without
advertising in one wav or another.
Patronize your town papers, build
them up and they will build the town
up aud build you up increased trade
ami greater opportunities. Do not be
afraid that business is going to be
hurt by the recent exposures of wrong-
doing in the commercial world. No
man who is doing an honest business
can be injured by the light. All busi-
ness will be better for the cleausing
process it is going through and for
the stamping out of evil.''

LIFE ON THE SHEEP RANGE
Existence of the Herder Is Sadly
Lacking in Diversion, But
He Is Well Paid.
The Journey of the last two days
has been In the solemn stillness of the
forest. Hardly has the soft twittering
of a bird broken t$£ unending silence.
But now the voice or the distant
flocks is the undertone that Alls the
air—it rises and falls in cadences, but
is never still, says the Pacific Monthly.
There, under the shadow of the pines,
is pitched the herder's tent. Company
is scarce and therefore valuable, and
hardly have his dogs given warning
of a stranger than the one solitary
figure is strolling towards us. It is
quite Impossible to forecast the na-
tionality, age, upbringing or condition
of this man. Sheep herding is as
often a refuge as an occupation.
Wages are good, work there is none,
food is found, responsibility sits very
lightly; through six months of the
year this outdoor life involves no
hardship. If from one to two weeks'
end to the next no living man is in
sight to speak to—well, there is the
less chance of quarreling, and the dogs
are ever at hand, and good company
for many hours out of the 24.
But, then, the evef-present sheep.
To rise with the sun, get breakfast
and then follow the big flock as they
slowly feed away from camp. To
hear their everlasting "ba-as," to
smell the ever-present wooliness. to
live, move and have your being in an
atmosphere of sheep—to walk when
they walk, to stop when they feel dis-
posed to rest, to so put in the slowly
passing hours, to accompany them back
to the neighborhood of camp, and, not
until the flock has gone to bed for good
to feel a moment's freedom from their
society. No wonder that, as one sheep-
herding friend told me, he was ready
to bless a wolf or two that broke In
on the monotony of the day by trying
to steal a sheep before his very eyes.
The sheep herder is well armed as
well as well fed. And very often on
the summer ranges he can so manag#
the day's march of hie flock as to
bring In the blessed trout atresia
wtjupe the flsh are rislpg at J£e jjunv
mer flies. One man I know Tfearned
Spanish in the summer's herding.
Another found a haven i-n higher math-
ematics. Several others used their
po.cket knives to carve ornanr :nts and
knicknacks. Books, magazines #nfl
letters are always brought out with
the supply of beans and bacon, coffe«
and flour, sugar and tobacco.

Open Winter Prevents Vermont Oum-
mers from Gathering Usual
Supply.
Bennington, Vt.—Vermont is facing
a spruce-gum famine, and consequent-
ly the Vermonter, who takes his gum
after meals with as much regularity
as the New York clubman takes his
cocktail before dinner, is sad. Al-
ready the retail price is two dollars
a pound for the best grade of crystal
lump and molded sticks (made from
boiled pitch) has taken its place in
many of the poorer families.
The supply of gum has been falling
off sttadily ever since paper makers
began using spruce wood for pulp, and
it is only a matter of time when there
will be none at all. This year the ex-
ceptional decrease is due to the in-
ability of the gatherers to get about
readily in the woods.
The gum is crystallized pitch which
exudes from the seams of the trees
during the hot summer months. As the
weather cools the pitch forms in crys-
tals, and this is picked by the gather-
ers or glimmers after the snow comes.
As the best gum trees grow on ex-
posed cliffs and rocky, uneven ground,
the gammers take advantage of deep
snows and snowshoes to gather the
supply. When there is little snow it is
impossible to get about in the best
reaches of fo-est timber and the sup-
ply dwindles.
Last winter there was little snow
until March, and by that time- the
season had passed. Lon Bishop, of
Glastonbury, who has spent 50 of
his 64 years in the woods, shooting,
trapping, fishing and gumming, recent-
ly brought his winter gum haul here
to be marketed. He bears out the
other gummer8 In saying that the sea-
son is the worst in his experience.

CAT MOTHERS SQUIRREL.
Little Stranger Is Taken by Tabby
Into Her Little Family
of Four.
Eldorado, la.—An Angora cat play-
ing the role ot mother to four kittens
and i'. frisky, bushy-tailed little squir-
rel, is the sight that has Interested vis-
itors at the home of Mrs. Addle A.
Lewis, No. 1030 East Fifteenth street,
Davenport, the past few days.
It was about two months ago that
Tabby presented the Lewis household
with four fluffy little kittens, which for
a fortnight contentedly enjoyed life in
the comfortable basket prepared for
them. Then one day a red squirrel,
about as old as the kittens, and too
young to take care of itself, fell out of
a tall oak tree on Mrs. Lewis' lawn.
With no means of getting it back
into !ts nest, it was taken into the
house and fed on milk for a day or
two, when it occurred to Mrs. Lewis
to see if the mamma cat would not
adopt the stranger. So a little milk
was n'bbed on the baby squirrel and
It was gently laid down beside the
tabby. Sne looked at it Speculatively
for a moment, or two, and then began
llv'klng the milk off. as caressingly as
she licked her own kittens In giving
them their feline bath.
Bunr.y was soon snuggling with the
kittens and nursing with them, and
he has since had no other mother
than tabby.
—D. L. Owsley has recovered from
an illness of several days duration.
