A Reverie of
0-d Jamestown
By DWIGHT NORWOOD
CoiuiiiK from Fort Monroe north
ward l>y the Jnuiea river, tbe boat
stopped at Jamestown. There are two
most important spots historically In
the United States, Jamestown and
Plymouth rock, the former being the
more important from its age. I was
curious to see it and, leaving the boat,
remained there long enough to lose
myself in a reverie concerning it
There is nothing there today to
dream about unless it be the tower of
the church built by the Inhabitants of
the settlement who went there a little
over 300 years ago. No more uninter
esting spot in itself exists In America.
It is an open flat space on the north
oast bank of the river, whoso yellow
waters have eaten away a considera
ble part of the site of the town.
And now t'or my dream.
The report of a gun llred out on the
bosom ot' the yellow waters. I look
ed and saw a miniature ship very
high in the stern and forward, much
ornamented and the sail on the main
mast bearing the arms of England.
From the shore a boat was about to
pat out bearing a huge cask. 1 got
aboard and was pulled to the ship.
"What's going on?" I asked of one
of the oarsmen, who, by the bye, all
wore doublets with broad collar, knee
breeches and hose.
"Sale of redemptloners," was the re
ply.
When We boarded tbe vessel, the
Royal James, rum was served from
the cask, and the sale commenced.
There were twenty men and four wo
men to be sold to whomsoever would
pay their passage money from Eng
land, with a handsome bonus to the
person who had advanced tbe funds.
They were to l>e bound to their pur
chaser till they had worked out the
amount he had paid and until then
were held as redemptioners, which
meant a limited period of slavery.
Several men were sold for sums
rangiug from £50 to £100, though the
amount was paid in tobacco. All the
women were sold for wives with their
consent. There was one damsel not
twenty years old who was so comely
that I approached and asked her what
had induced her to come out to so
melancholy a place as Jamestown.
"Please sir," she replied, "I come
from bonnie Scotland. My mother
dinna like it because I wouldna marry
auld Roderick MacTavish and shut me
up. Cut 1 got out, and a mau with
gold a-plenty sent me out as a redemp
uoner. lie'must be paid £00 for my
passage and a' the profit there is
in me."
"And if 1 pay the £G0 will you mar
ry me?"
"That 1 will." replied tbe girl, "be
cause you're so much better than old
Uodeikk .MacTavish, and I'll na have
to work out tbe money owing for
sending me here."
And so 1 paid the £00 in tobacco, j
which went back to England in the j
ship, and the girl was carried ashore
wiih nie. On landing we went up a
beaten path loading to the church. I
found the parson, and we were mar
ried.
This was when Captain John Smith
was indefatigable in keeping the colo
ny together aud supplying our wants,
but after a time he left us to make
explorations of the coast aud then to
go io Knglnnd. Our men became dis
couraged and would not work. Food
must be got by hunting or tilling the
earth, and the people would do neither.
So hunger and sickness came upon us,
and we diminished rapidly. Some went
back to England, and some, leaving
Jamestown, went back from the river
into the country.
When 1 saw that Jamestown was
doomed, taking ray Scotch wife with
me. I went back from the river into
the interior and, settling myself on
a piece of land, built a house and
raised tolwcco. 1 prospered, and, other
families settling near me, in time we
became a community. Though my
wife and I grew old, our children grew
up after us to be men and women,
and the country about us lost its prim
itive loneliness. But the river was al
ways the same. At times I was obliged
to go to it for the purpose of shipping
my tobacco, and it always gave me the
blues.
But we on the peninsula between
the river and the hav were a merry lot.

Jamestown. Some proud families in
England who hud met with reverses,
or younger sons, also the Cavaliers who
had been beaten by Oliver Cromwell,
came over and settled among us. We
gave them welcome and a helping hand,
and In time they became, like our
selves. successful planters.
This was my reverie as I sat on the
bank of the James river looking at the
melancholy scene about me. Yet it
was no creation, but what I had rend
in the annals of my family. My lirsl
ancestor in America was a citizen of
Jamestown, and he married a redemp

MISS OPPORTUNITY
YOU MISS SUCCESS
Waiting For the Seventh Wave
Is Foolish.
WISCONSIN FIRM'S SCHEME,
An Up to Date Merchant Who Suc
cessfully Fought Fire With Fire—Lo
cal Dealers Request Consumers to
Give Them an Opportunity to Figure.
Can and Will Meet Competition.
[Copyrighted. 19U, by Thomas J. Sullivan.]
If you want to succeed in the world
you must make your own opportunities
as you go on.
The mau who waits for the seventh
wave to toss hlin on dry land will Cud
that the seventh wave is a long time in
coming. You cau commit no greater
folly than to sit by the roadside until
some one comes along and invites you
to ride with him to wealth or influ
ence.
Business men, local and otherwise.
In the entire country, are desirous of
increasing and extending their busi
ness, and if they did not care to do this
they would not be in business.
Can Successfully Cope.
It Is doubtful if there be a local re
taller In the country who could not
successfully cope with the mail order
and catalogue retailer would he but
try. This the local merchant may net
know, but nevertheless it Is an abso
lute fact.
There is a retail firm in a town in
Wisconsin which conspicuously displays
upon Its counters one of the cata
logues of the largest Chicago mail or
der houses, upon the cover of which is
pasted a notice that it will furnish
any article advertised in the catalogue
as cheaply as the buyer can secure the
articles from Chicago, and it lives up
to the advertisement attached to the
very letter.
Mail Order House Seconds.
The substantial local merchant knows
well that the cheap stoves sold by the
catalogue mail order houses are light
weight stoves; that the Iron beds
shown in the advertisement mutter as ;
massive frames with strong corner I
posts and heavy crossbars are light, j
frail castings, commonly known to the
trade as "seconds," which no honest
or reliable furniture dealer would keep
In his stock because he could not sell
them to people who were given an op
portunity to inspect the goods before
purchasing.
It is only on very rare occasious that
patrons of a mail order house ever get
the worth of their money when they
buy from the pictures in the cata
logue, while, on the other hand, the
local retailer, if he understands bis
business, buys his stock direct from
tie manufacturers and jobbers who
have a reputation at stake and who
supply goods of quality to their direct
representatives, the retail merchants,
throughout the country.
Prize Their Reputations.
The responsible high grade manu
facturer and wholesaler will not under
any condition or circumstance sell
their goods to the catalogue retailer
at any price. Many instances are
known where catalogue houses secured
by trickery a quantity of staple goods
of standard make and advertised them
as "specials" at ridiculously low prices.
The manufacturers, In order to protect
tjieir reputations and Interests, neces
saM? l'lii/l orif, rs Befit in for the en
tire stock or Quantity of the articles
through persons in (heir employ. They
did not propose to have their articles,
which were standard, advertised by
thu side of inferior articles of light
weight and of decided!]' cheap con
struction.
A Vast Difference.
There are numberless articles which
the catalogue house advertises as the
best on the market, among which are
paints, and it often agrees to fur
nish nn impossible guarantee with
this class of goods. However, it is
very noticeable that it never at
tempt* to ship its paints into states
that require a printed copy of the
analysis of the contents of the pack
age;
Tiie answer to this, of course, is
(hat the goods are not ns represented
In the catalogue. The u7> to date lo
cal merchant, of course, is conversant
with these facts and can explain them
to his customers if given an opportu
nity. nud ho can al>o. if ho understands
in ;bly, explain the
vast difference between the goods soid
by the catalogue house and those sold
by him.
Articles Challenge Explanations.
Tiie cheap, flashy, flimsy article can
never stand alongside of the honest,
reliable artlile without challenging an
explanation.
The busiues-' man who cannot meet
this demand upou htm is not up to
date, and his education regarding the
line of goods he carries should be
touched up.
If the homo town. consumers are
alive and awake to their own Interest
they can bi**in to educate the local
mer hauls by demanding from them
the Information coioerning the differ
ence in the quality of their iroods and
