A FLOW THAT RANG TRUE.

1t Likewise Proved It's Quality to the
 Buenos Aires Buyers.
 In BuenOs Aires d few years ago an American salesman of blows wished to demonstrate to local customer the superiority of his goods over that of German competitor. The American consul arranged for the test.
 The German blows proved to be al- most exact duplicates of the American implement in design and r3ther better in finish. Wasting no time in explana- ton. the American salesman called over a powerful peon and ordered him to swing with all his strength with ten pound sledge upon the share of one of the American blows.
 The husky Basque spat upon his hands. hunched his muscular shoul- ders. swung the heavy hammer in a wide circle and brought it down on the spot indicated. A note as clear as that of bell rang out and the blow went bounding across the floor. but save for the patch of red paint that fused to and came off on the hammer head the share was unmark- ed. When the operation was repeat ed upon one of the German imple- ments the first share was completely shattered. the pieces being scattered about the floor like so much broken crockery. Thinking that possibly the faultiness of this share had been an accident of construction. perhaps of overtempering. the dealer requested the peon to swing upon the second sample. This blow demonstrated that the German implements were not even consistent in their effectiveness. for this share doubled up under the blow and folded lovingly in around the hammer like a flower going to sleep at night.
 There were tears in the consul's eyes as he wrung the salesman's hand in congratulation. but all he said was. And they still accuse us of export ing wooden nutmegs!-World's Work.
