Nerve in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia is not such slow town
after all, when it comes to nervy peo-
pie, and Chicago even might suffer by
comparison. The Record tells the story
of an enterprising huckster of the
Quaker city, who boldly drove wagon
up to a commission merchants, took
fifty baskets of peaches from the side
walk to his rattletrap vehicle, after
which he drove away without paying
for them. Meanwhile the commission
man stood ON the front sidewalk and
watched the operation, thinking that
the fruit was being delivered to party
to whom it had been sold. Two days
later the huckster returned with the
fifty empty baskets and sold them to
their owner at five cents piece.

legislation to meet the situation, and
believes that there is lanl enough ca
pable of cultivation and water sufficient
to irrigate the land, to give to this
country the needed wool and sugar, to
stop the drain of gold paid for those
two products, and to give many mil
lions more of people comfortable and
prosperous homes. The American
