FRIENDLY ADVICE.
Josh Billings Parting Shot to a Cheeky
 Drummer.


 Drummer
 About Christmas time once the some time famous Josh Billings, humorist, was on his way to his old home at Lanesboro. Mass. On the train were three travelling men who wanted a game of whist One of them pointed to unpretentious and unprepossessing Josh and said:
 Lets ask Rube into the game and comb some of the hayseed out of his hair"
 My venerable friend" he said as he laid his hand on the shoulder of the old man, will you join us in a game of whist?"
 "Ya-as; we will get there in abaour three hours" replied Josh, putting his hand to his ear.
 You don't seem to understand" said the young fellow in a louder tone. We want you to take hand'-
 "Ya-as; the stand O corn has been unusual good this year"
 My friend" the young fellow then yelled, will you take a hand in a game?"
 "Ya-as; I was tellin' Mandy this mornin' how plenty an how fat the game is this year"
 "Oh, you go to the devil.' shouted the young fellow as he took his seat, while the other drummers unmerci- fully peStered him.
 When Lanesboro was reached the old fellow got up, handed one of his Josh Billings cards to each one of the trio and then said to his interlocutor: "Young man, while you are travel ing on your cheek don't get any hay drummers will take you for a Rube and get you into some game and skin you. ."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

visited Boston this week. in accordance with his usual custom of going to the big eastern shoe markets twice each year MT. Rich Is considered one of the best judges of good footwear in the south. and in conversation with a representative of the Shoe Retailer, the question was asked of him whether he thought two trips a year to this market were necessary.
 ''I certainly do'' said MT. Rich, flor the southern people are very critical and par ticularly so in the matter of good fitting shoes and I find 1t splendid investment to visit at least twice a year the eastern shoe factories in which my best lines of shoes are made to watch the progress of the goods through the factories. When a man is enabled to see the lasts and patterns and to talk with the men who make the shoes, he is getting down pret- ty near to bed rock and Is enabled to give his customers the best that the market affords I know the people In Birming- ham and vicinity will be very much pleased with the fall goods in both men E and women's lines now being made fol me, for I have examined the goods in process of making and know that they are all right in every particular"
