days
For several days Charles sent only
such things up from the store as were ac.
tually needed. Atcnglh, as he went into
the store one day on his way to work, he saw
some splendid looking pickles in fancy
jars. He had ordered the articles he need.
ed and was about to leave, when Mr.. Wal.
dron spoke: Mr.. Mathews, don't you
want a jar Of those pickles ? carried my
wife in jar last evening and she thinks
them superior to anything she ever saw
before
Now Charles knew that his wife had
plenty Of plain picked cucumbers, some
that her mother had put down for her, but
Mr.. Waldron's wife has had some Of those
1 fancy ones and why shouldn't Hannah?
/ 'ShaIi send you up a jar
'How much are they
Only a dollar
yes, you may send up one, and Just
charge it il you please
90, certainly; anything you want you
may order at any time, and you may be
assured we shall be happy 10 uccommo.
date YOU
Now this was dat,erng to youua Malh.
cws feelings, to think nat the trader had
so much confidence in him, and he went
away with an exceeding good opinion OF
himself and his credit, and of the store
keeper in particular.
Only a dolIarn Ys only dollar on
the traders books,-lmt is nothing. Bot
a dollar right out Of ole's pocket, that is
different. Charles Mathews would not
have bought those piclles if the cash had
been required for them
'Ab, Mathews, loo, here I've got
something to show yos' This was sad
by the trader to the pung man on the
very next morning aler the purchase OF
the pickles.
And so Mr.. Wallrn led our hero out
to the back side Of the store and opened a
box.
There Mathews, lint those nice or.
anges 2
They are nice, redied Charles. And
so they rally were.
4 know your wife you'd like some oI
these, Icarred some b my wife, and she
wanted he to save he'lour or 6ye dozen.
Thee are nice. How do they come ?
Leis see; can send you three
dozen 'p for a dollar; got those very
cheap. You know hey are retailing al
=, five and six cents apiece
Yes We'll you may send me up three
dozen. Just charge hem if you please
$ Certainly; anything else this morning.!
