WHERE PRICES ARE STEADY.
The Mountain Dealer Objected to
Fall For Religious Reasons.

The Mountain Dealer Obj to
Fall For Religious Reasons.
THAT reminds me indirectly" said
the other drummer, ''of yarn heard
lately over in South Carolina told at
Tive expense of a peculiarly guileless
cid chap who keeps little crossroads
store up in the mountains. Everybody
wears boots in that part of the country,
and, as the story goes, the old fellow
e. had been buying his stock for many
years of a manufacturer in big city
not 1000 miles away. He paid Sc a
pair for his boots when he first went
into business, and the maker had con-
3inueu charging him the same figure
cT5seaF after year regardless of the fact
lIlat the market price had been steadily
going down. The old storekeeper, Sc
Guided from the world in his mountain
32ome, never dreamed that he was be-
ing f1eeced and took pride in paying his
bills with clocklike punctuality.
:, cat last, when that grade of boots
was quoted at $3.50, the manufacture
prs conscience smote him, and he de-
.cided to make amends. So he wrote
the country merchant, Saying that
there had been a 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 a 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
long period. A few days afterward the
conscientious manufacturer was amaz-
ed to receive a letter running some
thing like this:
Dear sir-Its mighty kind of you all to offer to
let have them boots at 81, but wish you
would please keep the price the same as what it
was before. have been selling them boots for $40
q pair for u years, and, being deacon in the
church, don't think it would be right to take no
stronger profit, So no more at present from, yours
truly, PETER Doe"
