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."
