theyi They could have big fddles and
little fddles, aud whistles, and horns,
and lots o'things, but where's the
drum I" We told him that the piano
was used in place of the drum, and had
few notes struck On it for his eulight-
eminent. "Well, now, that is first-rate
music box, amt it, but what DO they
have bureaus here for Z" We again e1-
planned that the article in question was
not bureau. but cabinet organ, or,
in other words, another kind of music
box. He was again lost in astonish-
ment, and before he was able to find
himself we had dragged him by main
force, over piles of music, away from
the collection Of Steinway, Knabe and
Emerson pianos and the coucourse of
sweet sounds, concluding that he hadn't
been soothed "worth q cent"
Heartily tired, We jumped into the
cars and were soon at the end of the
road where we found
8. L. BRICE's SOUTH WHEELING DRrG
STORE.
"Ycu see Uncle liked to be clean and
scent up his handkerchief even if he,
was mortal ugly, and he said Brice
could do him up in good style always
besides he was certain that all the drugs
and medicines in the store were fresh.'
We walked over and told Brice to show
nephew what he had especially nice
Nephew was at home at once, and while
he was looking at the display of holiday
fi1ings, perfumed soaps, brushes, and
the like, he bought enough for his con-
founded old uncle as long as he shall
live. "By Jings," he said as we came
out, "if that Brice amt one of the most
pleasantest, most accommodating fell
lows in the world, Pm hog. He un-
derstands his business thoroughly and
is truly Ritchietown's eminent druggist.
Returning we went into the
M'BCRE HOUSE BILLIARD ROOM.
As we passed back we tipped the wink
to our friend Bob Klienfelter, who pre-.
sides over the drinkables and wet goods
in the bar, and he arranged US couple
of shot SCOTCH" in o twinkling, in his
inimitable style. Goiug back into the
billiard room We found Harry Grone'
veg, the presiding genius of the place,
caring for the six tables lately refittod
and repaired, and now equal to any in
the country. Nephew was all eyes
while he was in here, watchdog the
young men indulging in this healthy
and innocent amusement. But much
os we might wish, we could not remain
here long. Nephew has got an idea
that he wanted another peep at q big
stock of
BOOTS AND SHOES,
So away we scudded for Louis V
Bonds store. No. 107 Main street
Nephew was introduced. But the pile:
of boots, shoes, CATERS, slippers, and al
sorts of gear for the feet, again silenced
him. "You see," said he cOniidentially y
to the gentleman in attendance, "you
see Uncle doesn't talk much. He Just
gi ye me your card and said to get the
boots; but while | am here you may dc
a little better, seeing they are so nice
He uurollcd his weasel skin and left Q
wad of money, and then moved out
"By gosh! but aiu't those fancy slippe':

and buy q bushel basket full, with q
