A VEN CRADLE TRICK,
Played in "A Country Town, With the Result
Given.

''Speaking of cheek" said the land
town, ''the checklist thing l ever hearc
of in that line happened here lately. A
man came here and took out 81 license
to sell in the street. He then hired 6
buggy for a short time and stat oned
himself at one of our principal street
crossings. He took out So bill Gen
tlemen,' he said, holding up the bill, Il
am here to advertise the goods of com
pany which adverti5es in a very novel
way, as you will recognize shortly. Now.
to begin, l am going to sell this So bill
for s. 3d. He sold it very readily. Then
he sold the $1J0 for $3.50, and so on,
till he had only ten cents. Now, said
he, Il will throw this dime among you,
and the one who gets it may keep it.
Then he bought the dime for twenty
cents, and so on, till his last purchase
cost him So 10.
"Then he took out some rings. Now, ,
he said, 4 am going to sell just one
dozen of these rings. | am not going to
tell you anything about what they are,
or what | am going to do afterward, and
I will not sell the thirteenth ring for any
price, no matter how high. l will sell
the twelve for 81 each The rings
were bought almost instantly. He next
asked those who had bought them to
hold them up so he could see where they
were. Now, said he, you don't ex-
pect me to buy them back, do youp All
said they did not
"Next he sold twelve watch chains for
So each in the same way, and twelve
scarf pins for S. each. He made no
claim that they were worth anything,
and apparently the people thought all
this was merely preliminary to his real
object. Now he closed his bag and
said something like this: That is all
shall sell now. You don't any of you
expect me 10 buy these things back, do
you? Well, l am not going to do So
But shall be here tonight, and want
all who have bought any thing of me to be

he drove to the stable and returned the |
buggy. He had given away "a, paid S |

The Coast or Greenland.

The old controversy as to whether or
not the east coast of Greenland was set
tied by the Mortimer, who built thriv-
ing colonies on the west coast in the
early middle ages, has been decided by
a Danish government expedition, sent
cut in the spring of 1888 to explore the
little visited coast. The early Norwe-
gian records speak of sixteen parishes
and nearly 300 villages on Greenland
eigst or nine -hsaalSsd--Fssss- sessszssasax
civilization had persisted when Davis
penetrated along the west coast to the
strait that bears his name in 1885. The
fact that an eastern and western"
settlement were SPOKEN of in the records
led to the belief that both coasts had
been settled in the early days, while
modern explorations have made progress
only along the west coast. Nordensk-
jold. who visited these regions in 1888,
believed that he had found traces Of an
cient habitations on the east side similar
to those found aong the west
coast. The Danish explorers have proved
him wrong. They spent two winters on
the east coast and penetrated hundred
miles further north than the point

reached by Graah in 1929, mapping out
the land and calling it "King Christian
the Ninth's Land" but they found no
trace of previous occupation, except a
beer bottle which the Esquimaux who
inha it these high ATTITUDES had looked
askance at for two years, believing it tc
be somehow connected with the elves of
the inland glaciers which they fear as
evil spirits. The explorers were unable
to account for the presence of the bottle
that had the name of well known Nor
wegian brewer blown in the glass, until
they learned of Nordensk jod's previous
visit to the neighborhood. The coast
was quite accessible last summer north
of the dreaded glacier Puissortok, and
presented an unexpected view of hand.
some mountains and green valleys with
very little ice. No doubt remains, from
the report of the expedition, that bv the
eastern settlement" in tho old record
was meant the furthest south on the
west coast. for in the lower ATTITUDES this
coast trends sharply toward the east.
Important ruins have been found there.

Petition VS.. Election.

A prohibition correspondent of the
Times Democrat, writing from Columbus,
Miss, extols that clause of 1903 of
the Revised Code which provides that
when petition is filed for license to
retail liquors, counter petition may be
filed within thirty days and the name
of every legal voter which appears on
both petitions shall be counted against
the granting of the license.
The correspondent says that the clause
referred to reduces the labor of defeat
ing petition to the minimum, and
while the case is closed against the
petition for license, it gives the oppo-
nents to granting license thity days to
work in. If a sufficient number of
legal voters whose names are on the
liquor petition can be induced to sign
the counter petition to reduce the mum.
Der of signers to the liquor petition
below majority of the whole number
of legal voters, the petition to retail
liquors is defeated. 1t is being success.

the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, and one saloon after another has

If an election is held, whisky and
money are used to get majority.
am told that the whisky dealers of Gin
cinnati have contributed largely to aid
the saloons here to employ nearly our
whole bar to contend with the w. G. 7. U
But the counter petition is too strong
for them. Enough will change their
votes when appealed to, to defeat any
petition for license"
There are not fewof the well-wishers
of the cause of temperance who believe
that the present statute on the subject of
retailing, if enforced, would answer
every purpose, and it may be that the
same amount of zeal expended in its
enforcement that is being employed to
have the question settled by an election,
would produce entirely satisfactory
results.
