Mr.. CIoseman's Mistake.

Mr.. Closeman had been doing busi-
ness at the same old stand with the
same old people at the same old
prices and with the same old goods
for an unlimited number Of years
since the time when the OK wagons
sank to The hubs in the street before
his door, and when the cotton fields
were only five squares away from the
river.
Mr.. closeman said he knew his
trade, his trade knew him-and he
had all the business he could handle.
So he did.
Mr.. Closeman carried bis same
old people for sixty days and ninety
days-and the same old people,
rode him good naturally TO the end
Of the ninety days, and sometimes
longer, and sometimes some Of his
same old people died just before
the ninety days were up and Mr..
Closeman grumbled as he charged of
the account to profit and loss.
Mr.. Closeman never advertised.
IT'S wasting money-my people
know me, and I'm doing all the bust
ness / can handle
HIS people did know him.
His old ledger, with the long be-
thumbed columns Of dead accounts,
testified to it, as did his s~toreroom,
stacked with ancient goods that never,
never moved-and bis bankers, who
discounted and rediscounted his notes
with other notes attached and SO on
ad initum, would willingly have
borne witness.
One day MI. Newman moved 1
from another toWn-opened up {
store q few yards down the street
put in d stock Just half the size d
the one Mr.. Gloseman carried, en-.
ployed two clerks in place Of thl

two Mr.. Closeman hired, and used

The people weren't used to the
