He came down the street Juggling a ire
mendous big watermelon on his stomach,
but when he reached the freight shed he
turned aside and sat down in the shade.
About the time he had cut the melon in
two with his big hornhandled jackknife a
man who had observed him as he turned
into the alley came lounging along and
ran across him as if by accident.
''Hellol Uncle Jim. am dat yo':" he
salUted as he came to halt.

man as he dug out a hunk of the core

When lady goes to store to pur-
chase pearl buttons she is surprised at
the high price the merchants ask for
them, but when it is known that this
class of goods are taxed go per cent, the
matter is explained, on every dollars
worth of buttons, the purchaser pays 80
cents tariff tax, and as most of these
buttons made in this country are manu-
featured by convict labor, the tax goes
into the pocket of the manufacturer.
and you ladies are compelled to pay it.
Rice, Silk & Co., of st. Louis, in an
swering customer, in regard to the
high price of pearl buttons, has this to
say: Answering your postal of August
a. we would state that there was no error
in charging the pearl buttons, and our
price of $1.15 for the twenty-five pearl
buttons is the lowest that can be made.
Since the new tariff is in force these
Goods have advanced considerably. and,
of course, we have to charge SO much
more. "-Chareleston Courier.
