Cow Followed Compass.

A poor tiller of the soil had owned
for number of years valuable COW.
or sudden he began to find that the
beast always stood in her stall with
her tail toward the south where the
manger was, her head toward the
north He tried various means OK
making the COW stand the other way,
her head to the south and her tail to
the north, but no matter how many
times he set her properly in her stall
she always turned around. Finally
there was nothing to do but rebuild
the stall to suit the cow Somewhat
later war came and the poor tiller OF
the soil had to join his regiment and
go and fight for the fatherland. His
wife and children, reduced to dire pow
erty, were forced to sell the COW to
the butcher, who slaughtered her and
sold her meat at famine prices to his.
fellow townsmen. At the same time,
however, the mystery of the animals,
unaccountable behavior was cluaEGdS
up In the body of the COW was found
small compass which the poor man,
her owner, had lost some months be-
fore from hiA watch chain. Evidently
it had fallen among the hay and been
eaten.

PLAN TO TAX FREIGHT
WAYS AND MEANS BODY AGREES
ON REVENUE BILL.
Beer and Wine Also to Help Make
Up Deficit Caused by the
European War.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Taxation on
beer, wine and railroad freight in
transit will be provided in the emer-
gency revenue bill, according to an
agreement reached by the Democratic
members of the ways and means COM
mittee.
President Wilson finally agreed to
accept tax on freight, to which he
had made previous objection.
The Democrats plan to raise $780,
100000 by an additional tax of so cents
a barrel on beer, making total of
$3.50 barrel.
The plan to raise 100000 addi-
tional by a tax of 20 cents a gallon on
wines and $65,OOO,000 by tax on
freight in transit, the tax to be three
per cent of the freight bill.
These items, it is estimated, will
raise slightly more than $1OO,O0O0O0
necessary for emergency revenue
purposes.
Following their agreement, members
of the committee telephoned the White
House and were informed that the
president would accept the bill as pro-
posed by the house committee. The
bill will be introduced by Chairman
Underwood
Chairman Underwood said that the
tax on freight would be collected by
the railroads when they collect the
freight bills, and instead of collecting
a bill of 81 the railroads will take
$1O3. For the expense of collection
the railroads are to be allowed one
per cent of the amount actually col
lected; that is, for collecting $10O in
internal revenue taxes, the railroad
will receive 81 for its trouble and the
government will get $99.
THE tax will be easily collected"
said Underwood, "and will hardly be
felt. A merchant with freight bills of
$4,000 will pay tax of $500, but the
volume Of business represented by
$4,000 in freight bills would approx
mate more than a million dollars, so
the 5000 tax would be spread very
thinly over wide area and large mum.
Der of persons
The tax on domestic wines will fall
solely upon the manufacturers an not
on wines made for home consumption,
nor on wines already stored in cellars
of the consumers.

1t pleasure to deal with the kindly,
bashful young night clerk at Hudnut's.
What is more, they went to Hudnut
and told him about it, but Hudnut kept
this fact to himself.
There never was drug clerk down
town who made so many friends as
Charles J. Perry, or who had SO many
odd experiences, and no man has rea-
son to know more of the value Of
! courtesy. Once he had man come to
him in the early morning and put out
a handful of gold.
Isn't it nice money!" the man
asked.
1T is" Perry replied.
Take 1t in your hand" said the
man.
Perry did so. When he expressed
his admiration again Perry started to
give the gold back
mo, it's yours; keep it. You have
earned every dollar of it for your kind
ness to me-" said the man, and walked
out
For 1S years Perry worked for Hud-
nut The highest pay he ever received
there was $29 a week. He had offers
innumerable from other druggists.
They offered him twice what he was
getting from Hudnut, and then, when
he declined that, asked him to name
his own price. Business men, big and
little, were not slow to realize what
this modest, courteous man was worth
in business, and they suggested that
he open an establishment for himself,
and that they would back him. A
hundred such offers we're made to him,
but he declined all of them until Oc-
tober 6, 1886.
Opened His Own store.
Then the New York Sun came out
with a big, first-page story with the
heading, Something New Under the
Sun. 1t told how Charles ]. Perry, the
Little Father Of Park Row." had
opened drug store of his own under
the Sun" 1t was one Of the most
graceful bits of free advertising New
York newspaper ever gave to a kind
ly, worthy man. And there probably
never was another man in New York
who started business under just such
conditions as did Charles ]. Perry.
The moneyed men associated with
him put up the money. He did not
Eave to invest one cent, but he got
a controlling interest in the corpora
tion because of the trade value of his
courtesy.
That was queer drug store under
the SUM-" You had to go up three
steps to get into 1t, Such thing in
New York was unheard OF. but it made
no difference with Perry's friends.
He took nearly all the trade of Hudnut
with him. The gold mine was moved
from the Herald building to the Sun.
When the Pulitzer building was built
Perry became its first tenant. For
some years he conducted one estab.
lishment in the Sun building and one

one in the Pulitzer building and pays

The visitor looked at him in amaze
menl.
Where do you come from?" he
asked. How did you get here?"
1t was a rough inquiry, but the
young man, in his bashful, quiet way,
told the gentleman in a few words
who he was and where he came from,
and then the gentleman told him he
was mighty glad to meet him.
Il went over to the drug store in
the Astor house to get this thing" he
said. "and was insulted. The fool
in that place told me sneeringly that
they did not sell five cents worth of
anything. came over here ready to
fight, and you treated me like a gen.
tleman. am glad to know you, young
man."
Then the gentleman gave his card
to Perry. The gentleman was Mr..
sweetser of the great firm of Sweet
ser, Pembroke & Co. He was one of
the greatest merchants of New York
and a millionaire many times over.
He felt so good over the treatment he
had received in getting that five cents
worth of flag root that he spent SIS
on toilet preparations before he left
the establishment. Next morning he
was at Hudnut's again. He had a pre-
scription written by the famous Doc
tor Seguin. He presented it chaIleng-
ingly to young Perry.
Can you fill that?" he asked.
"Yes," Perry replied.
The drugs called for were very rare,
and Mr.. Sweetser knew 1t.
Made a Host of Friends.
Most of the drug clerks downtown
at that time took themselves very
seriously. They we're pompous and
self-assured. Men like Sweetser found

the doctor. You are likely to find, too
great merchants and great lawyers.
All the mayors from Oakley Hall down
to Gaynor have been his friends. All
the supreme court justices of the first
department drop in to see him. With
out him Park row would seem un-
natural.
Sticks to Old Customs.
He has done more acts of kindness,
more acts of charity and more acts of
courtesy than probably any other man
in all New York. And he has done
them all modestly, bashfully. He
sticks to old friends and old customs.
He occupied the same room in the
Astor house for more than a score of
years. He has been .the first man to
vote in his precinct in the First as
sembly district in every election for
the last 35 years. He would feel mis-
cradle If he were not busy or If he were
not polite. He will not live uptown
because it distresses him to see per-
sons over-crowded and suffering in the
subway and in the 81" trains.
His friends are not confined to the
big men Of New York. With the ex.
ception of Joe O'Reilly, no one has
more earnest well-wishers in the po-
lice department or in other branches
of civil service. A fair number of his
employees have been with him from
the day he went in business for him
self. To dismiss any one is a grief to
him. For the, hurly-burly world of
Park row he certainly is an odd char,
acter. Everybody knows him, and yet
few know the real man.
One of the strangest things about
him Is, that although he never wrote
an article in his life, and never worked
day on a newspaper, he has one of
the finest senses for news of any man
in New York. No one knows this bet
ter than James Gordon Bennett, for
twice Mr.. Bennett has offered the edi-
torship of the Herald to this modest,
bashful man who has built up a great
business on the rock of courtesy.

business within specified hours. but

Modest and Kindly as Ever.
He has not changed a bit in manner
from the day he went into Hudnut's
as a soda water boy. He is just as
modest, just as bashful. just as kindly,
just as courteous. No one ever has
known him to lose his temper. He is
a student-a student OF the people.
He knows the retail business as few
men know it. Once, when he was a
boy, he saw woman carrying babe
in lower Broadway. Perry was strong
and vigorous in those days. He asked
the privilege of carrying the child so
that the woman, who seemed ailing,
might rest herself. He carried the
child from Bowling Green to Vesey
street, and lie was nearly exhausted
when he turned 1t over to its mother.
That taught him great lesson. Never

act of courtesy and an act of kindness.
but good stroke of business, for he
knows, and every good retail merchant
knows, that once you get a customer
to sit down, he or she feels from that
time forward that that store is his or
hers.
A lot of men have preached that po-
likeness costs nothing and is the
soundest of assets. They are half
wrong and half right. Politeness is
an asset, but it often entails sac
rifice.
