Whew. we had a game today!
All our club played fine.
An the other fellows. too.
Had a bully nine.
They was leadin' by two runs
When our side went in
For the last half Of the ninth.
With one chance to win.
First man up struck out: the next
Hit an got to first:
Then n went out on a; fly.
An things looked their worst
Next man. though, got safe away.
Which made two on base;
Then twas my turn at the bat,
An this was the case:
Two on base an two hands out .
An three runs to make.
Tell you standin' at the bat
Kinda made me shake!
But the ball came whizzin' by.
An l caught it square.
Way out past the center field

SEPARATE STORE FOR STOCK
THAT BECOMES INFERIOR
Grocer Finds Outlet For Goods Which
Perish on His Hands.

1T is of cardinal Importance In my
business" a groceryman Of this city
remarked, ITO have an outlet for any
o%versupply of perishable goods. By this
I mean an additional store which will
take the vegetables that r left over
and those not in perfect condition.
when l started in this business I
had but one store. Although l was
q careful, conservative buyer in green
goods I found that no matter how pru-
dent and how calculating l might be
many times great quantities of vege-
tables remained unsold, eating up all
the profits Of the part which l had dis
posed of. Indeed, the loss on them
often exceeded the profits on those sold.
II. attempted to remedy this by pur-
chasing small quantities. But on nu-
merous occasions I ran woefully short.
II thought over several remedies. but
they all had some s~hortcoming. At
length I hit on a scheme which proved
to be feasible. 1t required a partner.
I had little trouble in securing a practi-
cal, hard worker.
1.-THE next thing was to get a paying
store in q suitable location. My store
was in q wealthy neighborhood, where
only the perfect goods could be offered
for sale.
II found a store that met my require
ments except that perhaps l could
not make a large profit, but it prospers.
Prom the opening day my losses OH
wilted greens and leftover canned goods
with torn and stained labels ceased.
Now, whenever I have any Of this
sort Of goods. I simply transfer 1t
to the second store, where it is sold
at q reduction."-Chicago Tribune.
