way to a spring by the readable, where he
got his anti-exploder ready for market.
Late one afternoon not long ago the
people Of the village Of Poland were at
tracted by the appearance Of a galy colored
wagon and fancy horses. Two men In uni
form sat stiff and straight on the front seat,
bells rang merrily from the harness Of the
horses. and after reckless swings around
one or two corners and a spirited dash
along the main street the turnout came to
a halt at the edge Of the village common.
the people saw gasoline lamps lighted
about the wagon and heard the notes Of a
bugle call.
we are agents for the Dashety. Dash
and Dash Soap began the talker. He
held up q cake, shaved on some slivers,
poured on a little water from aglass, rubbed
his hands together, and loi the soap seemed
to enter the skin.

am going to let you have it at IS cents"
He sold several packages at IS cents
each and then bought them back at 81
each.
Opening the packages before the aston
iAhed eyes Of his customers he drew forth
a watch from each, and each watch APP
peared TO be gold. He then appeared TO
wrap these watches up again With the
packages Of soap.
The crowd was Interested, and the men
on the wagon began to take In twenty-five
cent pieces In exchange for soap. When
the visible supply had been snapped up,
the men thanked the people for their pa
tronage, whipped up the horses and drove
out Of town, taking the watches and the
quarters with them.
Another interesting couple Of road agents
appeared In a nearby town and announced
from their fancy wagon that they would
sell q high grade Of corn salve. They ex-
hibited a number Of small boxes, opened
them and placed within them greenbacks,
the denomination Of which ranged from
81 TO $40.
The men announced that they could dis
pose Of only q small number Of boxes, as
they must visit several towns before they
would again connect with their supply
depot. As each box was made ready for
the people It was thrown into large valise
in front o; the scat.
BY this time there was a double line Of
men reaching back into the darkness about
100 feet.

you must promise not TO open them until
we are sold out and then you may open them
all at the same time,
The sale was brisk. The men in front
got their boxes and stepped back and in a
half hour the valise was empty. Announo-
ing that the boxes were sold out the men
put out their lights and drove rapidly away
Not one Of the boxes contained any m oney.
