There is one philanthropic soul that
has been almost crushed by circum-
stances that would indeed seem justi-
fled in staying crushed during the rest
Of it's natural existence, after the way
in which it was treated recently.
When the cool November winds begin
to play tag up and down Water street
there is a certain gentleman who al
ways, as a case of prevention, mixes
up jug of rum and honey, to be used
judiciously throughout the cold season.
He had had his preventative mixed
but few days before. one noon, he
heard distressing cough outside his
window, and looking out. he espied a
detected looking sample of the Weary
Walker genus, who had been seized
with a bad coughing fit. and it was
right here that the gentleman made
his mistake. He thought what a phil
anthropic deed it would be to give this
poor fellow dose of his preventative,
and acting upon the impulse of the
moment, the poor deluded man invited
the hobo in and gave him glass of
preventative. The fellow went away
cured and thankful co. All the after
noon the philanthropist thought CT the
noble deed he had done, and planne.l
upon doing more, it seemed so good to
help his fellow creatures. The next
morning there was another case of a
coughing hobo in front of the house,
and he was treated the same as the
first. BY this time the news of the
philanthropist's large heartedness and
possibly his excellent preventative for
coughs, spread rapidly among the
tramps, and at noon, when he got
home, the large hearted man witnessed
a regular procession Of tramps pass his
house There were Yankee hoboas,
Dutch hoboes, Irish hoboes, ana hoboes
Of every description with coughs rang
| iry from lower G to upper c. The
good man watched them momen. and
it all became clear to him, how the
tramp had returned his favor by send
ing him others who were in distress to be
| cured He shook his head and was
heard to mu.ter: IF one tramp brings
| 25 tramps in one day. how many will
25 bring in 10 days? Why it would
| take ten thousand hives OF bees and
hundred disti.ler.es to keep me stocked
with the, preventative" He uses 1t all
himself now. ~-~~.~~-@~--

GREETING:
We. the undersigned, merchants Of Au-
gusta. Me-, having used the Cash Pur-
chase Coupons for the past year in our

percentage of new cash trade to our

cess, and have renewed our contracts for
the coming year. We also desire to say
that several hundred dollars have been
paid to the people who use the coupons,
principally in orders on our own stores,
and to the best of our knowledge and be-
lief every premium has been promptly
paid when due and called for. We have
found the Cash Purchase Ad Co. honor
