other fellow didn't do. He was the
leader and as such he was crowded to
the pole by his competitors. One day
a bright thought struck his mind, one
little brighter than other thoughts.
He had stumbled onto something 4
sure winner. Something to cause the
town to talk. He had planned in his
fertile brain a watermelon sale. This
genius of a business man journeyed to
Cincinnati and selected some OF the
choicest melons He had them shopped
to Richmond by freight and placed in
his model grocery. In short time the
melons went like sausage at q county
fair. The supply was soon exhausted.
Still the customers wanted melons.
Our genius scratched his head and
turned over another thought in his
brain loft. He would telegraph for
more and have another consignment
before the stars began to twinkle. So
he sent the following telegram:
Express quickly fifty best melons.
Pack carefully together"
Along in the evening of the same day
Mr. Grocer stood in the doorway OF his
apetizing grocery. He smiled a good
old watermelon smile as he thought of
his melons. Soon he saw an express
wagon moving slowly down the street.
He noticed large hogshead in the
wagon, so large it hung over the sides
Of the wagon.
who in the world is so crazy as to
have a hogshead like that sent by ex-
press" remarked our genial grocer
It'll cost fortune. Express compan-
les don't carry goods for nothing"
NO indeed" replied his companion
standing in the doorway.
Slowly the wagon came close under
its awful burden. It drew up at the
grocery and stopped. The driver
backed his horse and wagon and iump-
ed down.
Who gets that hogshead:" asked
the grocer.
you do replied the expressman.
and then our grocer remembered the
melons. The express charges are

the melons carefully packed in sawdrst
and not a melon was broken, so careful

the reason why Hegger does not like
watermelons and has not touched one

about express companies excessive

not so large as 1t is now, and could
not boast of many commission houses
