THE STORY OF A HAM.
How . Grocery Man Made Lapse Of Me

How . Grocery Man Made Lapse Of Mem
DRY Profitable.
young man, take my advice and pay for
things as you 60. DO not run up bills
This was the sage advice a we'll known BUSH
ness man gave STAR reporter yesterday
"Why?' continued he. Because in the end
you will have to pay for it all, and there is no
telling.for how much else beside. will tell
you of little incident that came under NV
observation recently, and you will see why
say 80. The proprietor Of large provision
store in this city made q credit sale of fine
ham to one of his customers, but much to his
surprise he found out a little later that he had
forgotten to whom he sold il, and had failed to
make any note of it. This bothered him some
what until a happy thought struck him. He
cudgeled the gray matter in his brain and re-
called the names of thirteen men who had hap
pened to be in the store at the time the trans
action took place, though for the life of him he
could not think who had gone off with that
piece of swine. But nothing daunted he went
back and told his bookkeeper to charge I'D one
ham to each Of those thirteen different ac-
counts, telling him ut the same time that when
twelve of the men objected to paying for it to
explain to them that il was = mistake that
would not occur again.
what happened? Why, twelve of that party
paid their bills without question. and only
one raised any objection on account of the pork
item. So at least eleven, and very likely all
twelve. had paid for something they had not
bought and that some one else had disposed of.
Steer clear of bills"

BRASS CASH AND THE AGE OF BRONZE
How Money Was Invented by the EARLY An
clients.

now money WAS invented by the Early An
clients.
From the Cornhill Magazine.
The familiar little brass cash, with the SQUARE
hole for stringing them together on thread in
the center, well known to the frequenters of
minor provincial museums, are, strange to say,
the hneal descendants, in unbroken order, Of
the bronze AK OF remote celestial ancestors
From the regular hatchet to the modern coin
one can trace distinct, if somewhat broken,
succession, 80 that it is impossible to say where
the one leaves of and the other begins-where
the implement merges into the medium of ex-
change and settles down finally into the root Of
all evil. Here is howthis curious pedigree first
worked itself out. In early times, before coin
was invented, barter was usually conducted be
tween producer and consumer with metal i'm :
plements, as ii still is in Central Africa at the
present day with Venetian glass beads and rolls
Of red calico. Payments were all made in kind
and bronze was the cOmmonest form of specie

In foreign parts went about the world with a
number OF bronze axes in his pocket (or its
substitute), which he exchanged for other
goods with the native traffickers in the country
where he did his primitive business At first
the early Chinese in that unsophisticated age
were content to use real hatchets for this com
mercial purpose; but after time, with the
profound mercantile instinct Of their race it oc-

All Sin ingeniously compromised the matter by
making thin hatchets of the usual size and
shape, but far too slender for practical usage.

more, he invented it far earlier than the rival

always tried to make the best Of everything
He bore malice toward no man. or only toward
one, who was a confirmed gossip and did not
hesitate to lie about his neighbors when he
wanted TO make q point. AMI looked almost
wicked when he spoke Of this man.
That job Perkins" said he. lis bound to git
his come-up-ins. 1 never knowed a man to lie
Ike him without gittin' cotched some way. He
don't have no luck. Everythin' goes agin him.
His boss died last year just for nuthin' but

but it hadn't. 1t was just his come-up-ins.

that's Just what it is. nothin else; that's So"
And AMI shook his head refectivcly.
While AMI was very communicative as far as
his own affairs were concerned. he had an idea
that he proved his loyalty to his employer by
being close-mouthed in matters that pertained
to her business. L met him one day as he was
pitching hay in the meadow along the roadside,
and for the sake of engaging him in converse
ton L inquired the price of hay. His voice had
that peculiar up-and-down quality assumed on
the negro minstrel stage. and could never re-
sist the temptation to draw him out.
AMI stuck the prongs OF his pitch-fork in
the ground. and pushing his old straw ha. (the
derby for dress up occasions :, hesitated
a moment then said slowly: The price o hay
depe nds upon different things. Last years hay
is allus deare- IL this years hay. and whatsum-
ever last years hay was. this years hay'l be
eheaper-that is. 1t would be cheaper only this
years hay is better last year hay, this
years hay will be darer II last year. hay"
What was the price OF last years hay?"
asked
lie let go his hold on the pitchfork, and,
bringing his brown forefinger down into the
pink scanned palm of his left hand and wrink-
ling his forehead SO it looked like piece of
brown corduroy, he said, with cunning CLEAN
in his eve:
"Ontrusty men got hold O last years hay an
sol it 70 the price o this year hay. That's
good hay. Some men hain't got no princip1,
they haint."
But what did Mrs. Hance get for last years
hay persisted.
Amzis face frightened, for he saw . way out
of the difficulty.

Playing Billiards.
slightly built man. with a stubby nous
tache and wearing clothes of a distinctvely
western cut and style, strolled into one Of the
large billiard rooms generally frequenssd by
business men on lower Broadway recently,
says the New York Sun. The room was
well filed and nearly all the tables were IN
use. The man with the western sfr lasnsd
negligently up against the lunch counter md
lazily watched the different players. Shortly
afterward short, well-built young man stepped
briskly up TO the cashiers desk, and. addressing
him Familiarity by the name Of Charley" re-
quested that an opponent should be found for
him.
Get me a good, strong man. Charley" he
added. for arn feeling pretty good today and
think can play an Al game.
''All right. my poy. said Charley, CHANGING
around the room on the lookout for = player
worthy of Mr.. loumans skill, for that the
name of the ambitious amateur.
The cashiers eye finally rested on the
stranger. who was watching "a game of pool
with a bored expression on his face. He called
the man with the western AIR over and intro
ducing MIN Mr.. Abbott of Chicago said to
the amateur: "lIere is a gentleman who will

start. As the game progressed, however. the
stranger improved surprisingly and he finally
won the game by a few points. The ambitious
amateur was not vet satisfied
Cushion carroms is INV game" he said.
'Let us play that and will give you ten in
fifty"
'.All right" said Abbott, and close observers
noticed that his stroke changed wonderfully.
After loumans had failed 10 make the OPEN
ing shot. the man with the western air began TO
play in a manner that caused the eyes of his
opponent TO bulge out. The tweDty-second shot
was a masse almost the whole length Of the
table. BY this time a large crowd had gathered
around the table. As the westerner was max
ing his fortieth shot note WIS handed 10 You-
mans, who, after reading il, turned deadly
white, and, grasping at the table for support,
gasped out: "Gentlemen, 1 acknowledge the
corr. Everybody come up and have drink"
His opponent was Jake Schaefer, and there
were only few of the many who watched the
game that recognized the little wizard Of the
billiard world.

Poets Songs.
Give me the poet who sings,
In q wholesome and light-hearted way,
OF cheering and comforting things
OF the stars and the dawn and the May;
OF tender and beautiful themes,
OF home and of peace and of trust;
OF the flowers that blush by the streamA
And not Of the blight and the rust
Not the poet who sings Of his cares
And the woes Of spirit fofiorn,
Who finds all the chaff and the tares
But never the wheat and the corn;
Who holds up picture Of life
That makes rs feel dismal and blue,
To think all IL evil and strife,
And nothing IN honest and true;
Who says he is weary and worn,
That fate has been harsh and unkind.
That the blush and the dew of the morn
He has left several ages behind;
That his faith has been turned into doubt
His wine into norwood and gall.
That the light of his life has gone out
And hope n beyond his recall
Good luck to the poet Who tells
OF simple thilgs, tender and sweet,
OF the grace Of the lilies white bells
And the rosos that blush at our feet
OF the birds and their carols Of Gee
And the Innocent pleasure they bring
OF the cool, soothing waves Of the sea
And the slnmber-sweot anthems they ding;
OF the sparkle Of hopes eaaden star.
And Of faith that can 80 through the miss
10 the glorious landscape afAr
That the sunsiine Of patience has kisssd;
OF the deeds Of the just and upright
And the good they shah reap by and By,
OF the morn that win follow the might,
