the other drummer, ''of yarn 1 heard
lately over in South Carolina told at

bills with clocklike punctuality.
"At last, when that grade Of boots
was quoted at $3.50, the manufacture

cided to make amends. So he wrote
the country merchant, saying that
there had been n considerable decrease
in the price Of leather, and he was glad
to state that he would be able to let
him have the last lot of boots he order
ed at 81 pair. This. he added, was a
special low rate, made on account OF
personal esteem and the fact that he
had been a regular customer for such a
long period \ few days afterward the
conscientious manufacturer was amaz-
ed to receive a letter running some
thing like this: Z
'Dear Sir-It's mighty kind Of you all to offer to
let have them boots at 81. but 1 wish you
would please keep the price the same as what it
before. l have been selling them boots for $40
a pair for IL years. and, being deacon in the
church. don't think it would be right to take
stronger profit. So no more at present from, yours

white and Red Wines.

White and red wines owe their diff
ference to the fact that, while the for
mer is permitted to ferment without
the grape skirts. these are allowed to
remain in the case OF the latter. The
color of the grapes makes no difference
whatever to the color of the wine
which they produce, for the juice OF
all grapes is as nearly as possible col
orless. For instance, the grape which
yields champagne is almost black In
outward appearance.
