hardships that would nat'irally accom
pany an experience of thut kind, the
atmosphere wns cleared by rain. Al

of modern writers.
The solo work byreal artists is t
feature in the band this season. D. C
Rosebrook is making a great hit with
his audieuces, aad his popularity is
well deserved. In only one direction
is bis popularity questioned. When
Mr. Rosebrook strikes pedal F, away
down in the Bub-cellar, the men be
hind the big horns who think thev
should have a monopoly ou such notes
can be seen to turn green with envy,
Another phenomenal note is his higl:
G, which rings clear as a bell. When
not with the island baud Mr. Rose

Yes," remarked the country mer
chant to the newspaper reporter, ,;I
have a snap. The wholesalo houses
sends me duns every month aud draws
on me at sight, but if I send a bill to a
farmer he comes in swearing mad and
quits trading at my store. While I am
hard up for ready monoy many of
those who owe me are sending oash in
advance to mail order houses. If I
contribute money to auy cause people
say I am bidding for trade; if I don't
they say I am a hog. Every day I am
expected to dig up for everything that
comes along, from a rnflle ticket to a
church fund by people who say I ought
to do this because they do part of tholr
trading here. But my friend. Mont
gomery Ward neither buys radio tick
ets nor help the church fund, and yet
he gets the cash in advance business
and if I were to circulate a subscrip
tion paper among the sale houses where
we trade I would get the horse laugh
proper. If I sell a pair of pants I must
treat the family to candy aud cigars, if
I buy a lead of potatoes I must do the
same thing. Customers who nre able
to pay hang onto their money w hile I
pay ten per cent at the bank to get
ready cash. I have a big business dur
ing hard times and poor crops from
people who are willing to trade with me
provided I can duplicate catalogue
house prices anil wait until after their
bat vest for my money. My scales
weigh too heavy when I sell sugar and
too light when 1 buy butter. 1 am a
thief, a liar and a grafter. If I smile I
am asoftsoapy hypocritic, if I don't I
am a grump. Yes, this is certainly a
snap." And then lie looked over
$10,000 worth of book accounts, all
good and wondered how he could raise
$350 to pay a sight draft duo tomor
row. Stolen.
