A Beautiful "Nerve." +"

The out of.town merchant owed
the Kansas City house 5000 for
goods purchased the month pre-
vious. The bill was due and a
lettor was written requesting pay
ment. A letter came back saying
that the writer was somewhat
short of cash, and requesting an
extension of ninety days on the
bill. The Kansas City merchant
wrote another letter saying that
he must insist on the payment of
his bill and suggested that if the
customer was s'hard up' the local
bank would undoubtedly accom-
modate him with loan of 5000
so that the bill might be paid.
XII seventy-one hours the Kau-
sas City merchant received areply
which he is carrying around and

tificate of the nerviest business
proposition ever issued in Mis-
souri,. The letter follows:

How Tucker Nipped Uncle Rus
sell.

One of the few men who have
ever managed to get ahead of
Uncle Russell Sage in business
transaction is a young curb brok
er named Tucker, and he did So
more by accident than design. 1t
happened this way:
Tucker had ten shares of gus
stock that ho was try ing hard to
dispose Of, with no result. Fin
ally one of his acquaintaaces, in u
spirit of fun, said to him. "Say,
old man, | understand that Sage
wants that stock bah aud is will
ing to pay 95 for it,
At that time the stock was sell
ing for 81, when it sold at all, so
naturally Tucker, who was new
conner on the curb, started off
posthaste for Mr.. Sage's Office
and half an hour later offered his
shares in person at 95.
"Don't want it, young man. :"
was tho tinancier's reply. "I
can 60 out and buy all want at
91."
Then, as he realized that he
had been "tsken in,' an idea
struck Tucker. 'Mr. Sage" he
SAID, "since you. don't want to
buy my stock, maybe you'd like
to sell mo any of the same stock
you may own at 93."
"Eb? Wha,?" queried SIR
Sage. "Ninety-three2" He pond.
cred, for a moment. Then, Cpl
take your ten shares at 95," he
said. And the sale was made.
A little later on, when Mr..
Sage found tnat he really coult
have bought all the stock he
wanted at 81, his feelings were
anything, hut friendly towarc
Mr.. Tucker. The next day, how.
over, he was in different frame
of mind. "Any man." he said,
"who can take care of himseI.
like that is useful and [ want Mr.
Tucker to watch out for any .busi.
ness may have on the curb"
And that is what Mr.. Tucker i,
doing today. New York Mai

Prices of Cotton for Half
Century.

Since SO much has been said
about the probable effects of the
high prices Of cotton upon the
splnners and others, both England
and this country, it may prove
interesting to many to know that
prior to 1890 there was only one
year during the previous forty
years that the prico ruled lower
than 10 cents per pound. Dur,
ing the decade between 1890 and
1900 it never reached 10 cents,
and at one time went below 6
cents. Six, seven and eight cent
cotton has been the exception
rather than the rule, as tho fol-
lowing table for the past fifty
years, copied from Latham, Alex
ander & Co.'S. publication will
show:
