While the national Democratic
convention was in st Louis an effort
was made by the local newspa pers to
boost the home town. The st. Louis
Times issued a special convention sup
plement in which the Industries Of
that city were advertised. Under the
heading, Facts About st. Louis
Worth Knowing" so of the most
prominent facts were mentioned. De-
spite the fact that st. Louis Is one Of
two cities in the country most con
spicuOus for its beer industry, not
one word was said about the brew
cries. Under the heading, "The Ex-
ports of st. Louis" beer appears in
its alphabetical place. Among exports
this product could not be ignored, but
the commercial bodies of st. Louis,
judging by their display elsewhere,
were ashamed TO include a reference
to beer as one Of their chief prod
ucts.

GOT HEMLOCK SEED CHEAP
Enslishman's Shrewd Scheme for Pro-
curing Drug That Commanded
Good Price on Market.

Mr.. Pickwick's valet and all-around
tied acquaintance with physicians and
apothecaries did not hamper his fes-
tive Imagination In the relation of med
ical novelties which were heard with
wonder and amazement by Mr.. Pick
wick and his friends, should have had
in his repertoire the following from the
London Garden: Every autumn a
man used to bring to a wholesale drug
house in London a quantity of hem
lock seed which he sold at half the
market price. The curiosity of men,
ber of the house at last becoming
aroused he asked the man how he
could afford to sell the drug so cheap
ly. After being promised that nothing
would be done TO interfere with his
business he described his method.
Every spring he filed his pockets with
the seed and went out into the coun-
try. Wherever he saw a good wide
hedgerow he sowed the seed broad
cast. Then he went his way and wor-
ried no more over his crop until the
fall, when he revisited the scene of his
labors. He would then call the farm
er's attention TO the weeds" In his
hedge, offering to cut them down for a
shilling a hedge, an offer which the
farmer gladly accepted. Thus was the
ground furnished free and he was pale
to cut the harvest.
