A Body Blow.

A farmer carrying an express package from a Chicago mail order house was accosted by a merchant who said: “Why didn’t you buy that bill of goods from me? I could have saved you all the express chargee on them, and besides you would have been patronizing a home store.’’ The farmer looked at the merchant for a full minute and then said: “Why don’t you patronize your home papers and advertise? I read them and didn’t know you had this particular line.”—Kansas City Journal.
