account of heavily reduced
production, become an expen-
sive coffee. If you want it, |
have it, fine old Java, not a
grain of anything else in it;
but | can't sell it roasted for
less than forty cents, nor can
any one else; it just can't be
done. You know | buy it in
the green state, and therefore
know exactly what ! sell.
ROaSterS have 1ound raat
certain fine Central American
coffees come nearer to Java
than any other, and it is a very
easy matter to label a package
"Java." Now if you want to
buy a good substitute for Java

You don't pay anything for a

Sis PaInY DAYS Are Gone.

The Juggling fakir, having been driv-
en- from more lucrative schemes, has
been reduced to very common level.
One of the class who was recognized as
having Worn diamonds five years ago,
and who was known as one of the most
skillful shell workers in the country,
was the center of all eager group of boys
in the rear of big store at dinner hour
Saturday. He was seedy and run down,
and a wreck Of his former days, indicat-
ing that the shell swindle is too well
known nowadays to be successfully
worked.
He had basket in front of him, con-
tanning a number of small paper bags.
In one hand he held pretty gold ring,
and this he pretended to put into one of
the bags. Then he shook the pile up.
EsPick it out for cent, boys! - he
cried many times
cts in that one" cried one. "There
it is, shouted another, and SO the boys
vigorously guessed, but they didn't pro-
duce the pennies.
When the observer left, the decayed
thimble rigger was still monotonously
and despairing]y calling out:
'Pick it out for a cent, boys! There's
no deception, and the lucky boy gets a
gold ring worth so. Pick it out for a
cent? -Philadelphia Call.
