How the Innocent are Trapped by
the Pernicious Eabit.

"Did You see those two young ladie:
flirting with the two dudish chaps In the
depot ?" inquired a gentleman of BAZoo
serb. last night.
"Yes, | noticed them"
"Well, / will tell yol bit of history IN
connection with them. The young ladies
are sisters and the daughters OF a promi-
nent citizen of Fort Scott. Some two years
ago they conceived the idea of advertising
for CORE pond,nts snd did so. You no
ticed the youngest one wore a red ribbon
upon her left shoulder. That is the first
visible fruits of the advertisement. She
got CORE spondent who pleased her and
thsy have kept up their letter writing ever
since, but Without meeting. The other one
has some dozen correspondents, bat has set
tied down on no particular one.
Anew WEEKS AGO
the youngest one, however, arranged plans
for clandestine meeting with her lover,
as she styles him, as he declined TO visit
her home openly. She took her sister into
the secret and she agreed 10 aid
her. The young ladies have friends
and relatives 10 ST. Louis, and
they coaxed their parents into allowing
them 10 pay them visit. Having gained
their consent a message was sent to the
dude TO meet them in Sedalia and 60 with
them to ST. Louis. His girl" was 10 wear
red ribbon as badge of recognition.
Once on the train they fell into company
with the fellow who escorted the oldest
one to the train for st. Louis.
HE is A DRUMMER,
a man of the world, and like all such men
was not long IN learning the destination
and weakness of the girls, nor very slow In
passing hIG.. elf as one of the manv core
spondents of the elder girl. The conse-
quence was hey were soon on good terms,
and when the train arrived the Drummer
had made up his mind TO find out wat
kind of company they were to have. This
was Easy, for ".he lover" was about the
first one seen when the train Stopped here.
The drummer, however, eluded him, and
took the girls of the other tide of the car.
Passing round, he went to the waiting
room where "the lover" soon came, but the
drummer took the girls
TO THE RESTAURANT
and got lunch and coffee. "The lover"
followed but the drummer kept him of
until nearly train time, when he permitted
him to make himself known, and by the
time for starting, as you saw, the four were
great friends. They are now on their way
to St. Louis, and it is easy 10 guess what
will be the fate Of the silly girls in the
great. strange city. Their parents proba-
bly, think they are safely and demurely
vending their way under the care of the
conductor, but you see how it is,

against letter writing TO strangers, and
parents against permitting their daughters

same opinion is evidenced by The fact that

moral and the remedy to be drawn by its

no certificate is allowed to be given to

MARKETING HONEY.
The Advantage of Neat and Convenien
Packages.

The Advantage of Neat and Convenient
Packages.
With those who make bee culture q
speciality, the marketing of their honey
becomes a matter of much concern.
Even those who produce honey in mod
crate amounts are sometimes puzzled
how to dispose of it to the best advan-
tage. With surplus product of from
one thousand to six thousand pounds,
the difference of half cent per pound
in price amounts to quite sum in the
aggregate. Style and neatness in pre-
pairing either comb or extracted honey
for market have an important bearing
upon the results. Ii taken into market
in a soiled state, and dealt out in a
slovenly manner, no one need expect
remunerative prices. This was well
illustrated recently in an adjoining city,
where marketing from wagons is still
in vogue. One producer offered his
one-pound sections of honey neatly
placed in paper boxes, with fancy labels;
being both attractive to the sight and
handy tor customers to carry to their
homes. His honey sold readily, while
that of another producer, scarcely half
block away, dealt out in broken
masses and clumsy manner, hardly
sold at all, even though offered at much
cheaper rates.
But the main object of this article is
to suggest and impress upon those whc
produce honey the Importance of Great
ing honey market for honey. 1t is no
wild assertion to state that scarcely half
the American people make use OF honey
as an article of diet Its virtues and
medicinal qualities are, in fact, but lit
tie realized; the fault lies at the door of
the producer. The introduction of
honey into general use, as staple ar
ticie of use, only need be accomplished
to create regular and continued de-
mand for it. This has been accomplished
in various ways. Some bee-keepers
have sent small, free samples to each
family, with statement of price per
pound and in quantities. Others have
circulated small, neat pamphlets (got-
ten up for the purpose), giving the vir-
tues and the advantages of honey ver-
sus the glucose and similar products.
Again, enterprising apiarists have put
up their honey in small pound and half
pound jelly-glasses, which, neatly
labeled, generally meet with quick sales
if placed in the country groceries.
Comb honey, if produced in small sec.
tons, can likewise be offered in the
same way. placed in twenty-pound
cases with panes of glass inserted in
one side to show the snowy combs. A
little pains on the part of the store
keeper in calling attention to the honey
will generally result in the disposition
of good quantity of it. 4
All the methods given above may be
combined, with success. A little
energy and push will accomplish much
in creating home market, even in
small villages. When the miserable
glucose mixtures, falsely termed
golden drip" ETC., are superseded by
the daily use of pure honey, then will
the many forms of disordered stomachs
and kindred complains (superinduced
by the excess of acid in these self-same
glucose compounds) cease. and health,
wealth and happiness ensue as conse.
