Negro Sold At Auction.
Indianapolis Correspondence of

Indianapolis Correspondence of the
New York Sun:
The w. G. r. U. of this city had
been running rummage sale for sever
al days. Last Monday an old colored
man entered.
II wish you'd sell me- he said to one
of the women. I'm tired tramping
around the country, and I'll work for
anybody the rest Of my days for my
vfctuals and clothes.'s
One of the women suggested that the
old man be placed on a table with a
price mark on him, but after further
talk with the negro to be certain that
he was in earnest it was decided to
auction him off to the highest bidder.
The. old man was put on a stool and
one OF the women got on the counter
and began to city the bargain.
The first bid was so cents. The bid
der explained that he simply wanted
to give the auctioneer a start. The
next bid was IS cents, and quarter bids
were received until the old man was
valued at 81. Then there was a lull in
the bidding, but the crier persisted, and
the bargain was finally knocked down
to H. w. Shea, a commission merchant
at $3.50.
The negro eyed the commission man
closely and announced, that he believed
he would like to live with him. He said
he had had no home for years and he
was tired Of living from hand to mouth.
Mr.. Shea told the women that he would
give his new purchase some light work
around his commission house, and, If
he proved to be trustworthy, the job
would be permanent. He agreed tc
give the negro suit of clothes and
plenty. to eat.
The old man thanked the women for
having found a home for him and went
away with his new master, seemingly
quite satisfied.

Commercial BUYERS Graft.

From the World Today:
The business I am connected with
uses some anilines, and once when GU:
chemist was absent I saw a salesman
from a company with whom we had
never dealt. He did not catch nv
name, and after the offer of a cigar, he
leant forward and whispered:
If you can get those colors in, I'll
see that you get per cent on all or
ders." 1 looked little astonished and
he FASTENED to add:
make it 10 per cent" This tempt
ed me into leading him on and I said:
Fix the price on that color $3.50
per pound Che had already quoted 81
per pound on it, and We'll give you 65
cents on every pound you order"
AS we order 300 or 400 pounds at q
time this would make very tidy sum.
Needless to say the order was not
placed. But I did not tell the fellow
the reason. Another aniline salesman
once told me he had to do it or lose his
job. I simply told him we tested and
bought goods on their merits and did
not take commissions.

Do Not Urge Your Child.
From Success:

From Success:
If your child cannot concentrate it's
mind or commit to memory: without
great difficulty, or If it seems back
ward, do not urge it. to study. No de-
velopment which Is forced is normal.
The mind may be developing unevenly.
When the brain cells are more fully
developed and the nerve cells more
mature, the faculties will balance and
the child will become normal, evenly
developed. But he must be ENCOURAGED
instead OF discouraged. It is cruel to
keep telling a child that he is dull or
stupid, or that he is not like other
children. The discouraging pictures
thus impressed upon his plastic mind
will cling TO- it and become indelible in
the brain Of the man and handicap him
for life.

TWIGS IN WATER,

Now is the time to bring some twigs
indoors and put them in a vase of water
on the windowsill, says Country Life in
America. Choose anything you like and
if you do not know what it is so much
the better! There are three classes of
twigs that are especially interesting
early Towering shrubs, the common
shade trees and above all the fruit trees
which give the largest and showiest
flowers. Winter buds are a fascinating
study. The leaf-buds are generally
long and pointed fruit buds are short
and fat. If you know what kind Of twig
you have you might put a little mer-
chand1se tag at the base of each and re-
cord the date of bringing indoors and
the date Of bloom.
