He now announces that he desires 70

A Peculiar Incident.

A most remarkable incident,
says the Bartlesville Magnet, hap
pened last week in which Geo. B.
Keeler figured quite prominently.
AS Frank Crane, manager of the
Keys Drug company, was unpack-
ing shipment of drugs billed out
from Kansas City he came across
a No. 10 manila envelope ad-
dressed to Geo. B. Keeler. On
turning the letter, which was de-
void of postmark or stamp, over
to Mr.. Keeler it was found to con-
tain a check drawn in his favor for
S2S and some odd cents by a Kan
sas City firm with whom he has
dealings. The only feasible ex-
planatlon Mr.. Keeler can give for
this remarkable occurrence is that
the letter had become mixed with
waste paper in the Office and was
gathered up and sold to the drug
gist by junk men for packing pur-
poses. The letter was only about
five or six days reaching its desti-
nation. .--Coffey vile Journal.

ample evidence to substantiate the

Lest some of the wholesale men
among our visitors may be dis
posed to question this statement
of Vinita's trade, a little history
may perhaps be profitably related.
There were merchants selling
goods in this country half Gen.
tury before there were any collec-
tion laws. For twenty-five years
of this time Kansas City had sew
eral important wholesale houses,
but seldom a travelling salesman
came south of Chetopa, at the
Kansas line. The idea of selling
goods without the machinery of
the courts to enforce payment was
not an attractive one. With the
