' A long-felt want has been supplied by an enterprising New Jersey farm er who owns some land of doubtful value within easy reach of New York city. This pioneer in a new life of endeavor had noticed that city hunt ers were greatly handicapped In their efforts by having to tramp over a much greater area than they should to accomplish a very little shooting. Plainly the situation demanded the services of an efficient engineer. So he assumed the job. He wire-fenced about 15 acres of his most worthless brash land, stocked it with a modert assortment of Belgian hares, and per mitted the idea and ground to lie fallow for about three years. Then he allowed it to become known that he would permit "shooting over" his covers by city sportsmen on the basis of a payment of 50 cents for every "rabbit" shot Gothamite hunters jumped at the opportunity, and the original geniua 1b now busy booking dates and collecting half-dollars. And still there are those who main tain that the day of opportunity for the man of modest - means has passed. Rochester Post-Express. . A RETAILER'S OBJECT LESSON. now an Oklahoma Merchant Showed a Customer the Point. Down,in Oklahoma some time ago a man went into a store to buy a saw. He saw the saw he wanted and asked the price. It was 11.65, the dealer said. "Good gracious," said the man, "I can get the same thing from Sears, Roebuck & Co. for $1.35." "That's less than it cost me," said the dealer, "but I'll sell it on the same terms as the mail order house, justfthe same." "All right," said the customer. "You can send it along and charge it to my account." "Not on your life," the dealer re plied. . "No charge accounts. You can't do business with the mail order house that way. Fork over the cash." The customer complied. "Now, 2 cents for postage and 5 cents for a money order." "What" "Certainly, you have to send a let ter and a money order to a mail or der house, you know." The customer, inwardly raving, kept to his agreement and paid the niqkel. J "Now, 25 cents expressage." , "Well, I'll be ," he said, but paid j it, saying, "Now hand me that saw and I'll take it home myself and be rid of this foolery." "Hand it to you? Where do you think you are? You're in Oklahoma and I'm in Chicago, and you'll have to wait two weeks for that saw." Whereupon the dealer hung the saw on the peg and put the money in his cash drawer. "That makes $1.67," he said. "It has cost you 2 cents more and taken you two weeks longer to get it than if you had paid my price in the first place."
