KINGSTREE, S G..

Dear Sir: You sell a good many
things by the gallon. Being de-
cent man, you give full measure.
You know what we mean: you
know that short weight and shor,
measure are common among-well,
We hope there are no short measures
and weights in your town.
There are, though. Ribbons and
Iaces and trimmings, sold by the
"dozen," measure nine Or ten yards.
There is no complaint, because "they
all do it," You Lave the same
plague IN your goods-nearly every
thing, canned or bottled, cheats in
tie quantity. Almost nobody gives
full weight in u factory-package,
We are one of the almost no.
bodies. We sell paint oy the gallon
to paint your house; and our gallon
is just the same size as yours that
you measVe vinegar with-23l Gu
bic iuches.
Good paint, too-Devoe 'ead-aud-
zinc-takes fewer gallons than mixed
paint and wears twice as long as
lead-and-oil.
You own house. That's why
we are writing to you.
Yours truly

Joseph has very exalted opinion
of his grandmother's knowledge OF
all things and likewise OF ''the IA
ther of his country" about whom
many stories have been woven to
the youngsters delight. Not long
ago an older brother-Joseph boast
ed of some four years-came rush
ing into the room with:
''Say, grandma, what was George
Washington's politics ?"
Grandma was busily planning a
garment and paid little attention to
the question, answering, with un-
usual dreaminess:
"Oh, I don't know"
Joseph stopped in his play and
looked at her for a moment. Then
he said:
HDon't know! Well, you ought
to. You read your Bible enough" :"

A GRoTEsoUE DRIVE.
The Queer Way In Which a Number Of
Indians Celebrated.

ihoidhS SeiepFaScess
An Indian is a child IN many
ways, but he shows this character
istic especially when he has money
to spend. The sooner his riches
are returned to general circulation
the better the child of nature is
pleased. A very amusing instance
of this is told of the Cheyenne war
riors away back in the oark ages,
when Cheyenne City was much
smaller place than it is at present.
The only day in the year when
these red men were source of inter-
est to the inhabitants was that on
which they received their allowance
from "the great White Father" The
citizenx of Cheyenne prided them
selves upon the celery with which
the government funds we're restored
to circulation. On one day in par
ticular there was large sum coming
to each warrior from the govern
ment for some lands which it had
purchased from them. Each war
rior was turned loose upon the busi-
ness community with something like
$4,000. While the innocents were
docking about for treasures which
they might possess one of the braves
sighted q hearse, which was the first
vehicle of the kind he had ever seen.
At the time of the great payment
of the Cheyennes there were few
vehicles of any description in the
city. Particularly was there dearth
of such as could be used for pleasure
wagons. So it is easily understood
that the red man possessed himself
Immediately of the funeral car and
team of six mules, though it took
nearly all the money he had under
his blanket. He and his squaw seat
ed themselves on the box seat and
drove off in fine style. Whenever
any other Indians of the tribe were
encountered on the way they were
invited to get aboard, and soon every
available inch of space on the roof
was filled. Next they were crowded
into the box, where they presented
a most ludicrous appearance, with
their solemn eyes looking through
the glass sides. When no more pas
sengers could be admitted the
equipage drove off at fine pace to
make tour of the shops which most
appealed to their custom. The oc-
cupants of the hearse changed rap
idly as the Indians succumbed to
their too great purchasing power.
The hearse also changed from one
owner to another for small consid-
Grafton. But through the entire
day of the orgie the vehicle was
spared any serious damage and at
last was sold back to the undertaken
for a small sum. His punishment
for taking advantage of the simple
minded Indian arose from the fact
that the citizens of Cheyenne would
never consent to hire the hearse
again. The remembrance of the
part it played in the Indians spree
was too much for them, and there
after it could have no serious part in
their affairs.-New York Herald.

COMMENCEMENT ADDRESSES BEFORE
high HILL SCHOOL.

/ SCRANTON, May q: Ihe
writer had the rare pleasure OF
attending a picnic and "school
closing" at High Hill School

pupils all acquitt e d them
selves creditably, their reci-
tations and defamation being OF
an unusually high order. About
, O'Clock Mr. S J Goodwin, one
of the trustees of the school,
called out in stentorian tones
of hospitality, "Dinner is
ready" and the young folks in
a procession of couples were
soon vending to the table.
Spread beneath the umbra-
geous foliage OF rustling trees
the table was fairly burdened
with an array of culinary dain-
ties and substantial edibles to
tempt the appetite of the most
Nastidious and it is enough to
~ that adequate justice was
done by all present at the feast.
Dinner over visitors and pupils
assembled in the Baptist church
near by to hear the able and
eloquent speakers present dis
cuss the ever interesting and
inspiring theme of Education.
The first speaker was Mr. AL,
lard H Gasque, Florence coun-
ty's popular young superinten-
dent of education, who was fol-
lowed by Hon ] E Ellerbe, con-
gresham fromthe Sixth district.
Both these speeches were en-
tertaining and instructive and
were received with fattering
attention by all present.
After the speaking Mr.. God
win, on behalf of the trustees,
thanked Messrs Gasque and Ell
lerbe for their able presentation
of the subject and also paid
high tribute to the attractive
and accomplished teacher, Miss
Amanda Cooke, CHASING her as
one of the very best teachers
that has ever presided over the
school.
