SOAP AND WHETSTONES GALORE.
The country store last night, as on
the previous evenings, was a centre
of attraction. The ladies in charge are
SO pleasant and agreeable that it is a
pleasure to p~atronize them, whether
one receives what they want or not.
But it is a little rough on a oor news
paper man in making an investment to
get first a bar Of soap, then an oil
whet stone, and, to cap the climax, a
box of Giant Soap Powders, all this,
too, on a Saturday night. If the soap
is not enough to scrub with, then the
oil stone could be used, and as a last
resort the oap powder, as that would
do the work. AS one learns from the
directions that it "acts like a charm"
though two or three waters may be
necessary" and it is "a wonderful
saver of labor" That's it. If there
10 dIly lIllHS lHdL Ii appreciated ny d
newspaper man, it is something that
is a saver of labor, besides making
him preSentable.
