INCONVENIENCE SOON SEEN.
A Fireside Discussion of "Ifs" In Cast
There Was a Simultaneous Migra
tion of the Looai Merchants and
Dcalors—Rights Encroached Upon by
a Dangerous Outside System. ,
[Copyrighted. ISM, by Thomas J. Sullivan.]
Napoleon said that Imagination rules
the world. It Is the divine attribute of
the imagination that when the real
world is shut out it can create a world
for Itself and with a necromantic
I tower can conjure up glorious shapes
and forms and brilliant visions to
make solitude populous and eradicate
the gloom of dungeons.
Just Supposing.
To better exemplify the ranee and
possibilities of the human imagination
we will give a little "Imaginary" con
versation which took place in the coiy
cottage of Williqtn and Aliee Spencer
on a recent evening.
"William, you asked me what I
wniiId do if the butcher, the baker, the
grocer, the druggist, the shoe dealer,
the lumbermau, the coal merchant, the
hardware dealer and dry goods mer
j cliant si uld pack up and leave town
; . n everlasting vacation," said Alice.
"Why, that's easy. 1 would get my
goods from the mail order houses, of
I course."
No Catalogue House Credit.
I "Rut." persisted William, "suppose
you were broke, us usual?"
"Oli," suiil Alice, "that's so. I could
not j,vt credit from the catalogue
I houses: neither could I inspect the
stock ami select the best, nor could I
take ■ '..Milium back nr.d exchange it,
as in ir <>s( cases, and if there was any
thing broken 1 would hare tJ file a
claim with the railroad company, and
it would take the better part of a
year to settle it, if at all."
"And supposing j'ou wanted some
thing in a hurry," suggested William.
"Th.it's so," said Alice. "I would
h.ive to stock up like a lumber camp,
as it takes from two weeks to thi>
end of time to get anything from those
I mail onler concerns. And, William, I
would not want to buy meat by mall;
I want to see what kind I am getting.
Well, we would just have to live with
out meat. that's all.
No Garden Truck by Mail.
"Garden stuff—yes, we would wanttt
fresh; no, not by mall, thank you. And
bread—your mother could make that,
as you always suid your mothor could
make better bread than I. My, but 1
hope the baker won't go. though!"
Alice cheered up when William
smilingly reminded her this wa9 but
an imaginary absence of the town mer
chants.
lint the cheery smile on Alice's face
lasted only a moment, as William tan
talizingiv inquired how about getting
shoes for her dainty little Chicago
feet.
"Shoes!" cried Alice. "Whoever heard
of any one with pride or corns buying
shoes without first trying them on—
yes. trying on mostly everything In the
store? And then what about getting
soled while j'ou wait? Oh, no; we must
have a shoe daaler anyway," answered
Alice.
i William Becomes Excittd Too.
J Then William took the floor and
| bodied forth the following words of
wisdom:
"Yes, hardware; sure 1 might borrow
n pound of nails or a couple of »crew8
from Brother Charles, if he had them,
but bare you any idea, Alice, bow
heavy nails and screws and hardware
are? No? Well, I hare, and freight
bills on that class of stuff are ruinous.
No. Alice: a town without a hardware
store is a bum town, and If our hard
ware inau is going to more I am too.
And, besides, we want a lumber yard
and coal yard. I don't want to buy
lumber and coal in car load lots."
"But, William, this is only imagi
nary," said Alice.
No Dead Town For Him.
"Tell you what, Alice," continued
William; "should this imaginary busi
ness become real and the retail cata
logue houses put our local merchants
out of business and force them to
seek other locations I'd bo with you.
I'd go. too. for who could or would
live lu a dead town? We couldn't"
"And, come to think it over, Wil
liam, I believe those mail order con
cerns are encroaching upon our rights
and 1110 rights of our local merchants,
and 1 for one am willing to Join with
you and the rest of the citizens of
this community In an effort to adjust
iliiTerei:cs that will redound tp the
welfare of the entire countryside, em
bracing all the people—men, women
and children."
The Small Town Killer.
Notwithstanding that this is only an
imaginary situation, it la too true
that a condition of this sort is to be
experienced in thousands Of the small
er towns and villages in this country
unless some radical change takes
place among consumers in checking
the growth of the small town killer,
the fast forming retail trust
Why not proflt by tbe imagination of
Alire and William?
KING AND QUEEN
AGAIN AT ASCOT
Ascot, England, June 17—Tlio
Royal Hunt cup, a handsome trophy
presented by King George, value
$1,500 with $10,000 ill cash, was
the principal event on the card to
day for the second day of the
royal race meeting, which attracted
vast crowds of sportsmen and so
ciety people. Tho race, which was
a handicap for three-year-olds and
upwards, was run over tho severe
TVs furlongs course and the en
tries included a score of th© smart
est horses in training.
King George and Queen Mary
were again present with a distin
guished company from Windsor
castle, but socially today was an
"off-day," and there was no state
procession. Tho costumes of the
women occupants of the coaches and
enclosures were as brilliant as over
but their male companions wero per
mitted more relaxation and King
George sot the fashion by discarding
his morning coat and silk hat in
favor of a brown derby and a com
fortable lounge suit. Silk hats will
again be de rigueur tomorrow.
Take one o£ Kellers' "Phantom
Minnows" with you when you go
fiaQlng again. You won't get skunk
ed, for you can bring It home in
the creel, and it can't be distinguish
ed from the real thing.
