AV IMH I1MWHKD LEGEND' OK
HOW WK CAME TO HAVE
MI.NCE VIES.
A long, long time ago, before they
had mince pies for Thanksgiving,
Christmas or New Year's, there was
a little old lady who kept a store.
Besides selling groceries, she made
and sold apple pies. She lived all
alone except for a mischevlous pet
monkey which was never allowed In
the kitchen.
One day the little old lady was
chopping apples preparatory to mak
ing ner apple pies, when a neighbor
rushed in and asked her to come im
mediately to see her injured son.
Hearing the little old lady leave,
the monkey grasped this opportun
ity to enter the kitchen. He jumped
upon the table and sniffed at the
bowl containing the chopped apples.
He did not like apples and proceeded
to mix together things he did like.
He climbed up the cupboard and
found a box of raisins. These he
poured Into the bowl containing the
chopped apples. He next returned
to the cupboard and found a small
can of syrup which he also poured
into the bowl. He next found a large
piece of meat which had been put in
the window to cool. This he placed
in with the apples, raisins and
syrup. He then picked up the chop
per and chopped and chopped until
he heard the returning steps of the
little old lady. This sound sent the
mischief maker off the table and
back into the front of the store.
When the little old lady, who was
very near-sighted, took up her work
again she did not notice anything
unusual, and finished making and
baking her pies. Then she placed
them in the store window for sale.
One of the little old lady's custom
ers stopped in and purchased a pie
for lunch.-' He was soon followed by
others until all the pies except one
were sold.
After lunch the first customer
came back and asked the little old
lady what kind of pie she had sold
him. Upon being told it was apple,
the customer said, "That was the
best apple pie I ever ate."
He was soon followed by a second
customer, who asked the same ques
tion. Upon being told the same
thing he shook his head and said,
"No, no, It was better than apple!"
After a third customer had in
quired about the pies, the little old
lady decided to investigate. She cut
a piece out of the remaining pie and
tasted it. "It doesn't taste like ap
ple pie." said the little old lady.
"What has happened to my pies?"
She tasted It again. "They were
right! It is better than apple. What
is In it?" She lifted the crust. Im
agine her surprise when she saw the
raisins and the bits of meat. She
knew that her mischievous pet had
been at work. She did not Bcold
him, however, but always after that
when the little old lady made pies
she put with the apples, raisins, meat
and syrup; and because these were
all chopped fine, or minced, she
called them mince pies.

association will meet In the high

"I won't buy until the price comes down," is a common state

Trobably they'll fall still more. You may be sure that we'll
reduce our prices as rapidly as replacement values decline, and that
regardless of the cost In stock.
Meanwhile, the man who delays buying because prices may

The man who orders his goods thru a bureau, to be Included In car
