Had Come Prepared.

A colored man from Kentucky drove
to a loose leaf tobacco sales ware
mouse in one Of the Indiana cities Cd
the Ohio with load OF tobacco.
When he received his sales slip and
weights he noticed the customary bank
check was missing.
Approaching the cashier he said:
LOOK here, boss, where is my
money for this here tobaccoY The
sales sheet was consulted.
Its like this: the expenses for
weighing, unloading and commission
for selling your tobacco amounted to
more than the tobacco was worth. You
still owe us just SO cents" explained
the cashier.
well, that's all right, 1 guess, but
l amt got cent with me-"
"Then next time you are coming
over the river, just bring along a
chicken with you and we will call the
deal square"
Within week the colored man ap-
peared in the office with two chickens,

two of them, one would have paid the
bill"

Noise Alone viii Not Win.

There is such a thing as detracting
from the main issue by the noise Won
make in doing it. Folks get tired of
plain noise. 70 merit persistent sur
vival noise should have some merit IN
itself. In some towns they have ordi-
nanceS against unnecessary noises.
That in itself ought TO be an argument
against noise for noises sake. And I'M
less you can continually produce some
thing that claims the patience of the
people you will soon lose any power
your noise once had to win attention.
So you must see to it that your actions
are sufficiently worthy to stand alone
when the noise stops. If people begin
to associate YOU with noise alone you
Will soon he lost to human interest.

The game Of croquet does not de-
