''Now you move on or pll run you in"
heard a policeman say as 1 was passing
through Clinton place the other evening.
"What hurt am doin' here's This woman
has heard of my celebrated seek-no-further
kitchen roller towel>rack, and I'm tellin
her all about it. It's gosh burned funny if
there's any law in New York agin a man
talkin' on the streetsr
It was my friend from Huckleberry
Plains, and as l advanced the policeman
sauntered off with growl.
"By Georgel but I'm glad to see you !"
exclaimed Noah David Hammerhill, as he
held out his hand. "Jest come within
'leven inches of bein' arrested and lugged
off to state prison for talkin' up my towel
rack!
SCOT a good thing, and the police are jeal-
GUS of me, but ri see 'em in Jerlco be-
fore I'll give 'em a rack to be good friends.
Jest a minute. Lemme explain to this
woman
She was little old woman with basket
on her arm, aud evidently in very poor cir
cumstances, but he proceeded to say:
"You observe. madam, that when l pull
on the towel the roller revolves thirteen
times. It's the biggest revolver in this
country to-day. How many people do you

Exactly. and that's why put the price
| of this rack so low as to be within the
reach of all. Sile writes me that Dan

| tobacker on the Fourth OF July or leckshun
| day, has actually scraped enough money
| together to buy one Of these towel-racks,
| aud he's so proud Of 1t that he makes his
nine children wash their faces twice o
week.

| said the woman.
Don't doubt it, ma'sm, and that's an
other point in favor of the towel rack.
/ While sick you wanted the kitchen towel to
| pin around your head. You went to look
| for it, but did you find its Was it on the
floor. under the bed, or on the top shelf in
the pantry? l f1gger that this towel rack
will save the people of this country over
| 1000 barrels of misery every year. There
was the case Of Bill Bebee, who runs the
coopershop in our town. Went home sick
| and his wife wanted to wash bis feet afore
company came in. Looked over three hours
for the kitchen towel and couldn't find it,
and finally used a tablecloth, aud the dye
come out aud struck In on him and killed
him."
