The origin of ..Buck-Boara..

There are few persons" says a SOL
der who, long since returned to civic
ranks, "who know how the name of
blackboard came to be applied to a
vehicle. 1t was way back in the '2Os,
when the transportation of goods,
wares and merchandise was principal
ly all by wagons. DR.. Buck, who for
long years after was the military
storekeeper here, was then in charge
OF stores en- route to army posts in
the southwest. In east Tennessee
difficulty was experienced by reason
OF the rough roads, and there were
frequent mishaps, mostly from the
wagons overturning. DIR. Buck over
hauled the outfit, and bandoning the
wagon bodies, long boards were set
directly on the axles or hung below,
and the stores were reloaded in such
a manner that there were no further
delays from breakdowns, and the
stores safely reached their destina-
lions. The idea doubtless was not
new, but DIR. Bucks example was fol-
lowed, especially when roads were
rough, and soon much hauling was
done by the use of wheel, axle and
boards only. Now the fashionable
blackboard recalls the old gentleman
to some of us. '-Washington Star.

POOR BUNDLE-WRAPPERS.
merchants of All Kinds Have Become
Used to the Paper Bag and
Grown Careless

Somewhere and somehow the world
OF trade has lost the art of tying up
bundles in grocery stores, dry goods
houses, hardware stores, and even in
the drug stores.
The paper bag seems to have been
the beginning of it. Before it's COM
ing even a crossroads grocer could
lay double thickness of brown pa
per on the counter, empty dollars
worth of Coffee A" sugar upon it
out of brass scoop, and tie the
package up as smooth and tight as
block of planned wood. How many
clerks in Chicago corner grocery
could do it now? asks the Tribune.
In the old days, in some of the
smaller towns, the purchaser carried
his sugar home on his arm and in
consideration of this the brown par-
eel would be rewrapped in a thinner
lighter sheet of paper which was sup
posed to make more comely pack
age.
Ii was remarkable what a neat
looking bundle grocer or hardware
dealer could make of several odd
shaped bundles or packages. In some
OF the general stores a coffee mill.
bag OF salt and tin dipper could
De tied into paper SO skillfully that
nelghbor across the street seeing
the head of the house come in with
1T would be left in deep wonderment
as to whether it was a new suit sof
clothes or bolt of domestic
With the perfection of the paDer
bag, however, slovenliness began to
mark the wrapping in stores. At first
a bag was filled, the top folded into
place neatly, and tied as if it were
open paper. Then the grocer, espe-
ciaIly, simply folds the top of the
bag in and rolls it down on to the
contents, using no string whatever.
To-day wrapping up bundles is a
lost art. Nobody carries neat bundles
anywhere. An ordinary package of
some solid object is laid down on
piece of paper, and as it is rolled
up the ends of the paper are tucked
into the bundle, leaving the wrapper
to tie string around the center of
the roll. With many small objects
no string is used, and a person with
several of these bundles, starting
home from downtown is most likely
to have trouble with wrappings be-
fore he gets there.
In many things the druggist still
does neat wrapping, as in the case
of bottles, packages, and even pow
ders. But to buy from his general
stock of toilet articles and kindred
goods he makes as ugly a bundle as
the grocer. In most cases, too, he
uses some hideously colored wrapping
paper which simply flares with the
intelligence" to the public that you
or some of your family is sick.
The ordinary bundle to-day is
neither neat nor pretty-which may
be a reason why more than ever be-
fore people insist on having all goods
delivered in the rear"
