A story with a Moral.

They tell ola Yankee who fattered his
girl so much that she got so proud at
last that she refused TO speak to him.
A western man says that that story
reminded him ofa man in st. Louis who
had some rather dull stock to sell. 1t
was thought pretty good stock, but
it was slow and considerably "below
par" Advertise it" said one of his
friends. He did so, and at last brought
it up to so good a position in the mark
ct that, seeing how well it stood, he
concluded to hang on to it for himself.
