A STRING OF PEACH KERNELS.


Ahthu VI DFuEhhns
A druggist in South Washington some time
since read in the REPUBLICAN the novel mlu-
ner In which n druggist OF East Washington
gained popularity among the small boys Of his
section by buying all the peach kernels the
boys presented at his counter Mt cent per yard.
The South Washingtoninn. although not able
to originate such an ingenious method Of al
vertlslng and gaining riches had cnougi Ell.
tcrprisc to Immediately catch on to the scheme,
ana soon had thriving trade. lie bought
on mn average twenty-five yards OF the
kernels per day. The boys received
the money for the peach kernels aud their
pNpgs paid the druggist for nrnica and plaster,
so they didn't mind which way the balance
was. One Of the show windows of the dug
store was soon filled with the kernels, there
being ut least 500 yards Of them. By and by
the trade In peach kernels got II boom In some
mysterious way, und sixty or snvgnty.fivc ynrls
came to the counter daily. This Increase di
not increase the sore fingers which appeared
called for. The druggist would not be pro-
nouncCd insOlNcnt- 10 he kept on buying. The
peach season was well passed, but thc novel
tindo did not wnnc. Beside this, the great nd
dttlon to the immense pile of pcnCh kernels
did not seem to add anything to It's bulk, AMI
this caused suspicion. A reform, outrivalmg
even the other great reforms that ure
fashionable nowadays, was Instituted.
a thorough search revealed n small piece OF
glass IN an obscure corner Of tho window to
be broken out, just large enough to gradually
pull the strings OF kernels through. There Is
now weeping and gnashing of teeth among the
small boys of South Washington whose thriving
days have received II setback. Their trade
has been altogether stopped, aud now they pen-
sivcly eye the small hole In the window
through which came such wealth. The small
boys OF South Washington are sad.
