 Still did not blame Bam Sennext. He was. himself deceived in the peaches It was not his fault.

 vered as virtuous grocer. told me that he paid forty cents for q three pound can of peaches in New York. He did no, suspect that would ever come to New York and discover his perhdy.
 And so It is with mos, other grocers. The Texas grocer makes in many in- stances, one hundred per cent profit No wonder the people of the south are poor. The grocer absorbs all the wealth there is m the country, and the local press sus- tains him in his unnghteous course. The average grocer should be subjected to a civil service reform examination, and there should be rotation in office, and investigating committees to unearth fraud and corruption. If the Texas grocer has lost his salt wherewith shall he be sal,ed : What manner of men mas, the Texas lawyers, and bankers be. If there is such heavy discoun, on the Texas grocer The matter should be brought to the at ,ention of the next legislature, which should pass law putting poker players and grocers under the surveillance of ;he police.
 forgo, tossmention tha, the can oi peaches bough, for eighteen cents, did not give me the Asiatic cholera, but or the contrary made me feel like whis,ling for more Far be it from me to intimate in any manner, shape or form, that the average grocer is grasping or menda- eious. bu, do not precisely understand why Frank James has so much trouble getting along, while the grocer has so little.

Most of them take in San Francisco on their tours, and not a few stop here long enough to become acoli- matized and go into stocks.
 Your English burglar never robs in the city when he can find some fine, isolated country house-far from the mad'ning crowd-to take toll from. 50 the two eminent operators referred to marked down, with care, a noble mansion Jus, out of town, which they had noticed on a prospecting drive through the suburbs.

Go try at once, you can tomorrow.

When on them they imprint your face

On this old house do make a call.
