A Dose of Shoddy Medicine That Lasted For Over Thirty Years, And is Good Yet. â€"_.â€"â€"_' â€"_ A LITTLE 811‘ or coser EXP-ERIENCE.‘ l . l ' l l It’s a ilittle an'iusing to look back ious incidents from our childhood. Ye Editor was a boy at one time and like lots of other boys of the time his first toggery consisted of homespun, the exterior garment being a sort of a cross between a pctticoat,'and the liilts worn by a Scotchman. But this sort. of thing was not to last for ever, and one day, a day We. can re- member well, there came to the par- ental home, a kind-hearted symp'av thetic agent, with a wagon load of nice cloth of all shades, but of questionable texture. PaterT‘ami- lias wasn’t a good judge of tiveeds, so he let the kind-hearted agent do the choosing for him. and it Svasn’t. long until the orthodox bundle of shoddy, about $40 dollars worth, had ' been transferred from the peddlers’ wagon tothe paternal home, and we four boys,for there were three others at the time had pleasant dreams all, night at the brilliant; prOSpect of be-l ing fixed out in our first pair of pants and a genuine coat and vest to match. Oh it was a glorious anticipation to have really, truly pants and cOat, and the time seemed like a. lengthy por- tion of Eternity before that nice stuff Should be transformed into our ideal rcgimentals. At! length the happy day arrived, and you never saw a prouder quar- tette than we, but as all thingsfltuust pass away so it was with our" new suits. A few Sundays, for it was only on Sundavs we could wear them, and the charm were away. At the same time our new clothes had al- most fallen to pieces. They were shoddy. Yes, shoddy of the first water, and for the first time the fath- er of the household felt he was bit- ten, and bitten by a devil. who had the tongue of an angel, to judge from external appearances. This was a lesson, and never/again did the shoddy man find suckers in our fish pond, though a number took their lives in their hands, and ran their chances for a bite. Their bate wasn’t the right kind, and now if the shoddy man shows up, he feels' it safer for his family to take out an insurance policy before he tackles the job. Others who were bitten the same time, swore vengeance on the next peddler, but a little difference in the bait, and they bit again, to repent at leisure and make new vows. The lightning ,rod man fell into disrepute and, now, though years have passed, no man seems bold enough to take up the cudgel and badger people into protecting their homes by the life- saving lightning rod. The country at the present time is well enough supplied with stores, in most. cases run by honest men, men that can be got at if they make a misrepresentation, men who pay taxes, men who help to keep up our 'oads and bridges, and schools and churches and men who are not get- ting rich'by-exorbitant- profits. These are the men whom the public should patronize,.and not the itencrints who are here t0~day and ”no one knows where to-morrow. Surely the past, has furnished land marks enough to warn‘the unwary, but no, it seems not. Let us say that we have learned many things by experience some of which were dearly enough bought, and"'f’e’eling that‘the angels them- ,selves could scarcely resist. thaoily eloquence of . we lift again a warning voice against- lputting confidence in thOse'who are bent on your ruin.
