any night in the week and show you
the gentlemanly salesman ia Dbing a

found him last night at the corner of
Tenth and Main, standing IN a low
cut mack. he was hoarse from telling a
hundred and fifty city jays what twen-
ty-hve cents worth of the instanta-
neous lather producer would do for
their faces and their grease spots They
bought so eagerly that he closed his
grip and put out his gasolene torches
with town reubens still demanding the
UNIVERSAL Cleanser. He had to tell 'em
10 come back tomorrow night. In one
hour he sold more of his great dirt
killer at rs cents an ounce than he
could have disposed of in a day in

one queen O Cuba. And every hour in
the day and every day in the year your
wise boys of the city long to win that
watch or the pocket comb, or some
other valuable prize.
And at that l haven't mentioned
the medicine fakirs with 50 bottle for
30 cents or three for 81. They do well
on nearly any corner they may choose
after seven o'clock these evenings.
One day was enough for their kind in
a country town: after that the people
would come to their senses. But here
here in the city-they do well every
night at the same old corner. It's only
necessary to show the crowd the out

medicine until the lights go out.
"Oh, I'll admit" said the man from
the cattle country, 1--WE do ride in

stop in our town. 1t looks foolish,
know, to see full grown men and
women ridin' round hand organ, but
anybody's liable to be little Eighty in

bred jays keep a half dozen of these
machines running every day it's warm
enough to be out.
"Of course, us fellers out in the
country may buy a gold plated brick

said the city man with some feeling.
you're right. you're right" said the
man with the live stock. That's he

Blind Angler and Oraanist.

There are blind walkers. blind play
ers. blind musicians and now comes a
story of a blind angler. A resident OF
the Potteries, who has been spending
his holidays in East Anglia, has been
fishing in the company of an expert
angler who is absolutely blind. 1T Is, .
says this Staffordshire angler simply
marvellous how this blind man can find
his way along the waterside, select his
swims, adjust his tackle, put a bait on
the hook, cast out and tell when he has
the slightest nibble." The blind ang-
Ter is also an accomplished musician,
and has charge of the organ at the par
