One OF the men OF the First Royal
Scots Fusilliers. who reached South
ampton recently from South Africa,
was Private McDevet. who, though In
the prime of life, has snow-white
hair.
He had a narrow escape from be-

attack OF fever he was pronounced to
be dead, and was placed on a slab
In the mortuary to await burial. Two
hours later the sentry outside heard
knocking from within. He opened the
door and was startled to see McDevet
sitting up.
The experience turned McDevets

Brothers, Eh7

A certain curate was OF painfully
nervous temperament. and In conse-
quence was constantly making awk-
ward remarks intended as compliments
to the bishop and others.
Having distinguished himself in an
unusual degree during gathering OF
clergy at an afternoon tea short
while ago In the bishops palace. he
was taken to task for his failings by
a senior curate, who was one OF his
companions on the way home.
Look here" said Simms. the senior,
decidedly, you're donkey. Why
can't ycu keep quiet instead of max
ing your asinine remarks? am speak
ing to you as a brother"
Loud laughter interrupted him at
this point. and for the moment he did
not see the joke.

"My brother was troubled with

"A sister was Ill nearly all her life
with headache and heart trouble, and
about all she cared for was coffee and
tea. The doctors told her she must
leave them alone, as medicine did her
no permanent good
she thought nothing would take

Besides, the home market does not
grade honey so closely as commission
men do. In my neighborhood only
two grades are recognized-the dark
and the white with a difference of
only two cents between them.
When working a new town, IL you
succeed in getting an order from one
of the best grocers, then go to his
competitor and tell him OF it. Talk to
him as a drummer should and the
chances are that you will get du-
plicate order from him, as he can
well furnish his customers the same
article at the same price.
II you cannot get sales started in
this way, leave crates with two or
three reliable grocers, seeing that they
keep them in prominent place where
people entering the stores will be sure
to see. and you will soon get a trade
started.

Lastly comes the question of when
to sell. and It is the most puzzling OF
any. When there is large crop the
tendency OF prices Is downward.
Knowing this. there is tendency
to rush the honey into market when
II becomes known that there is a
bountiful crop. This puts the prices
down still further This matter of
when to sell is one OF those questions
that each man must decide for him.

honey until winter. Marketing honey

Bookkeeping. A failure In the honey
