Charlie had come in from a- two weeks’ “rounder” at noon, had straightened up all his business, accepted the ‘‘rackets” and commendations with good grace, and had made an engagement for the theater that evening. But, of course, an intimation that he was wanted by the head of the firm pre- ceded all else, so Charlie dispatched a mes- Senger with a note to declare the previous engagement off and went to supper wonder- ing very much whether the firm was through with him or was going to raise his salary with another year’s contract, the present one expiring within a week. Charlie was anxious to retain his ‘‘git,” as he was soon to make a life contract with the young lady to whom he had sent the note by the mes- senger, and to that end he had worked most faithfully. Therefore, it was with the eer- tainty that, whether it were a discharge or not, he had nothing to be ashamed of, that Charlie rapped at the door of the private of- fice of Ashley & Moore, at 7:30 that even- ing. Mr. Ashley was reading the evening pa- per and smoking his after-supper cigar when Charlie entered, and he passed the box of cigars, which stood upon the desk beside him, to Charlie, with the remark: ‘‘“Have a smoke, Allen. They are first- class, to my notion. A birthday gift, by the way.” ‘*Thanks,” replied Charlie, as he took the proffered cigar and proceeded to light it, his fears set at rest by the pleasant reception. “I was not aware this was your birthday, Mr. Ashley. I wish you many very happy returns of the day. You are sixty-one, if I am not mistaken?” ‘*Yes, sir; sixty-one, to-day, and as hale and hearty as most men are at forty, thank God! By the way, Charlie,” and the old man looked keenly at Allen as he spoke, ‘‘your contract with us expires next Mon- day, doesn’t it?” “Yes, sir; I have been with the fives of P Ashley & Moore just one year next Monday, ‘January 4.” “IT suppese,” continued the old man, still keeping his eyes sharply fixed on Allen, ‘you have nothing else in view?” ‘“‘No, sir; Lhave endeavored to do my work with you in such a way as to gwaran- tee permanency, and hoped to stay.” And | Charlie began to look a trifle anxious. “The salary has been. satisfactory, has it not?” ‘“Why, yes, sir; I have no fault to find with it, and I am willing to leave it to your judgment as ‘to whether 1 am worth more to you or not.” ‘Well, Allen,” said Mr. Ashley, with an odd look on his face, ‘‘Mr. Moore and my- self have decided that four men can handle our outside trade well enough and therefore you, being the last man employed, we can- not send out, for a while, at least.” - Charlie’s heart jumped clear up in his throat as the old man uttered these words. Not but that he could undeubtedly find oth- er employment, but $1,000-a-year situations were not always lying around loose, and he had made this a basis for calculation as to his future plans. _ “IT am.very sorry,-sir,” and Chartie look- ed a trifle blue as he said it, “‘that you have no further use for me, and I thank you Very much for your kindness in giving me a lit- tle notice. If you can, I shall be very glad if you will give me a letter, stating the merits of my serviees, and, if you will, kindly let me know of anything you may hear of in’ the way of another situation. Good-night, sir,” and he arose from his seat and took his hat as if to go. ‘*Hold on! Don’t be in such a hurry,” and Mr. Ashley motioned, Charlie to reseat him- self. ‘‘Who’s said anything about your leaving us? I merely remarked that we could not send you outforatime. You surely won’t object to remaining in the house, especially as Mr. Moore and myself have decided that you are worth $1,200 to us for another year?” Charlie could hardly express his thanks. A moment before he had thought himself ‘discharged and here he wos engaged for an- other year with a raise of $200 in his salary! |, He tried to stammer out his thanks, but Mr. Ashley interrupted - him. “Neyer mind, my boy, You have earned your raise and, besides, we have got a rath- er hard job on hand aid we want.to shoul- der it off on you. - So, you see, we are rath- er selfish in the matter. I warn you,” Mr. Ashley | continued, veins a fresh cigar, the grosery irade: at that point? His 1 name is Rankin. * 2 As Chailie signified his pemneiahyanas of the cireumstance, Mr. Ashley continued: “*There is one-thing, however, connected with the case of which you are not aware. Mr. Rankin is Mr. Moore’s brother-in-law— married Moore’s sister. Well, the case is just like this: Rankin is a scoundrel and a sharper of the worst type—one who is very smooth and polished on the exterior and black within. We have, so far, received only one payment of $200 on the stock, which amounted te a little over $3,000 when we sold it. Rankin has kept on ordering goods and has, as an excuse for non-pay- ment, made the assertion that he has been supplying mill men on orders given by their employers, which are not collectable until next March. Well, when Haines went up there last week, he noticed that Rankin’s stock was terribly low, considering the amount of goods we have lately sent him, and that, together with the peculiar way in which he writes and the lack of funds, has made us suspicious that Mr. Rankin is not dealing square with us. Now, we do not care to expose him, on account of Mr. Moore; but we want some one to find out what he is doing and report to us. The op- portunity is not wanting to send a man to Hermon incognito, and we have chosen you as being trustworthy and discreet. Rankin wants a clerk—has been advertising for one the last two days in the papers here—and you can go there in that capacity with a let- ter of recommendation from some retail merchant here. It would not do for us to sign such a letter, as Rankin might suspect something. You had better go to-morrow and apply in person for the place.” .“‘Very well, sir; dny further instructions you may have I can get when I call, on my way to the train in the morning.” And, with a cordial grasp of the hand, Mr. Ashley bowed the young man good- night. As Allen Walked home that night, he studied his new venture over thoroughly, determined to spare no effort to do his best and, by the time he retired, had mapped ont a plan of action. A little after seven, the next morning, as Allen was-on his way to the store for his instructions, he met Mr. Ashley, who gave him his instructions in a brief, yet positive way. ‘*Keep your eyes out for anything crook- ed, use yourown judgment and Keep us posted. You had better address your let- ters to your brother for us, otherwise Ran- kin may suspect. Good-by and good luck to you,” and, with these words, Mr. Ashley stepped off the train—te which they had walked—as it pulled cut, and Charlie was off on his novel trip. When the train pulled into Hermon, Charlie strolled leisurely through the town towards Mr. Rankin’s store. That gentle- man was in, and, after some conversation and an inspection of Charlie’s recommenda- tions, the young man was engaged at the munificent salary of ten dollars per week. Charlie worked, as he always did under any circumstances, faithfully for his sub- employer’s interests, as well as for those of Ashley & Moore. But, closely as he watch- ed, Charlie could detect no appearance of anything wrong. Mr. Rankin, although, perhaps, a little careless as to cfedits, con- ducted his business in a thorough manner and seemed to have a pretty fair trade. — * One afternoon, Mr. Rankin took the day’s | receipts from the drawer, saying, casually, as he did sc, that he was going to send all his currency away to meet a note held. by Ashley & Moore. This was good news for Charlie and he sincerely hoped that the firm’s suspicions were without foundation. Mr..Rankin was a very pleasant employer and Charlie had begun to like him very well, indeed. — Of course, Charlie informed Mr. Ashley of the proposed payment of the note. What “was his surprise, then, about a week later, to be informed that no provision had been made for the note, but, on the contrary, Rankin had asked them to make a three- months’ renewal thereof. This was a sure indication of something underhanded in Rankin’s methods. Why should he take such pains to inform Charlie for what pur- pose he intended to use the money, unless it was to avert suspicion, not knowing, of course, that Charlie was vse for just that very thing? On Saturday night, a week after the oc- currence mentioned, Rankin, in the course of conversation, ‘asked Charlie if he would not like to ride out to his (Rankin’s) broth- er’s-farm that evening, take a message for him, ‘and spend Sunday there, saying that it would do him good and, ‘as peaches were just ripe, no doubt he would enjoy it. aoe ~ Charlie objected, at first, not liking to leave his ‘post; but, as Rankin made it-al- is| most in the nature of a command, and he ‘had no vali excuse | for me ‘Charley the. nivenaue. surreptitiously, ur could get any clue. did read the letter, although, un circumstances, it would have been the proper thing to de: The ¢ as follows: = Joun-—I will send: out a Joad. of Monday afternoon and make the assi _ Tean’t stave it off any and, besides, you and I will make out of it, anyway.

Keep him over Sun if possible, so that he won’t be here toboth- er me. There was no signature. The plot was easily seen. Rankin had “salted” “about $8,000, with his brother's help and was about to leave the country and his creditor Charlie had gone about two miles en his journey when he read the letter, and he stopped his buggy in the road and sat with his head in his hands in deep thought for. about five minutes. Then he picked up the reins and drove rapidly to a farmhouse near. - by. = ‘Ts Frank here?” he inquired of the lady who answered his knock. Frank wasa young man visiting at the place, with whom Charlie had become somewhat ace quainted in the young man’s trips after gro-_ ceries for the family. Frank was in and, after a few moments’ earnest conversation with Charlie, he took the note, sealed in a new envelope, got into the buggy and drove off. oe Charlie slowly retraced his steps toward ~ town, in order not to arrive too early. It was just dusk and he wanted to be on the scene of operations about ten o’clock, as. . he was positive that Rankin would load up. the goods that night, in order to make sure of no interruption? Alien had confided the matter to Frank | Burton, the young man whom he called on. at the farmhouse, personate the unsuspecting clerk at Ran- kin’s farm. Burton was totally unacquaint- ed with the farmer, and readily aceepted ~ the mission, rather liking the fun of the thing. This relieved Charlie of any fear of being detected by Rankin, and he went to his room at the hotel, luckily unseen by any _ one, to make some changes in his personal - on appearance. When he came out, his own mother would not have known him, and the: a clerk of the hotel, seeing a strange guest in the office, politely asked if he would regis- — ter. Replying in the negative, Charlie walked out upon the street, elated at deceiv- — = ing the clerk, with whom he was on ante. ae intifnate terms. With no fear of detection, therefore, a Charlie went to the telegraph office and - wired Mr. Ashley, requesting him to be on ™ the ground Monday morning. Then he —~ walked leisurely to the store,» revolving in -. his mind the best plan to pursue. Going — through an alley at the side of the store, he crept softly up to an unshuttered window. There a sight met his eyes which, although he was somewhat prepared for it, astonish-_ ed him. Through a door in the rear Char- lie caught a glimpse of a wagon with a cov er, standing in a shed.. Rankin, alone, was busily engaged in loading it «with goods. His way ef avoiding detection, on opening the store for Monday’s business, was to take all the goods from the rear of the shelves, leaving sufficient to fill them up in front. and thus cover the vacapey behind, _The- man worked hard, the perspiration running - in steams down his face, and Charlie. kept his place at the window over two hours be fore Rankin was satisfied with.his haul ‘When he had depleted the shelves, Rankin filled up the remaiifing space in the wagon. with various cases not as yet opened, pu out his lantern, his sole light, and left he Charlie kept, carefully condenlen' in 11S reom until early Monday morning, when h walked about a mile out of town, met Frank in the buggy and drove into town as ae cent as a lamb. ee The store was opened as usual, and Char lie busied himself with his regular dt although, to tell-the truth, he was very ous through fear that Mr. Ashl mig fail to arrive on the nine o’clock tr: ' A few moments before train time, made an excuse to get away, les vin; Rankin in charge of the stere. — 'tConcluded on _ — “The patent Tmproved and had asked him to. : xo 8 OR: one of the. fastes' i ‘Stock will invoice about $3,500.

With a few unimportant excep- -_ tions, the conditions are exactly reversed. 4s a well-known dairy authority exprefses| it, the exporters are “cleaning out the stock of old cheese at the great central markets and the dreaded surplus of two months ago has largely gone down Johnny Bull’s throat.” <_< <3. Eggs by Weight. Jsa’t it strange that we buy and seii eggs _ by number instead of by weight? Number does not show their value; weight does. ‘Some eggs weigh twice as much as others. What justice or business - sagacity is there in paying the same price for one as for the]. other? Is sot the fa-iner who sells a large egg for the same’ price that his-neighbor is‘a small one, elfeated?. And is not the small one cheated? Just as might utter be-sold by rolls, the small | bringing as much as the large one. We £ buy-or sell butter by the number of pieces, © ‘cheese by number; nor should we sell eggs by number. f éggs-were botight ani sold by weight, ‘the value of certain breeds of fowls would be changed. Now the breed that furnishes the greatest number of eggs is the most profitable; then it would be the breed that furnished the greatest weight. Some breeds -are. remarkable for the smallness of their eggs; such breeds would suffer in popular- ity, while- the fowis that lay large eggs would gain. This would work only justice, however, to. the fowls, as it would to their ewners and ‘consumers. Clearly, eggs - should be: ‘sold by: weight. . Then why does _-hot every on insist upon it? : “This.

Instead of making it a basket pic- nic, as it was last year, it is designed to of- fer each jobbing house an opportunity to eontribute some article of food, drink or smoke, place the whole contribution in the hands of a competent caterer and setve janches free to all members of the Associa- tion, clerks and invited guests.

The young man to whom. the order was given forgot about it until af- ter 8, and then remembered it suddenly | amid pangs of remorse. Bastily weighing out the coffee, he placed it in the mill and ‘began to grind furiously, talking all the time to a person standing hear. Finishing with a sigh of relief, he reached for a bag. Stooping down, he discovered that he had ground the coffee all out on the fioor, ~~ +» ae —_——_ Hay on the Boom. The remarkable scarcity of hay is almost without a precedent in this locality.

CIGAR DEALERS Read this Scheme. $11,550 Worth of Real Estat And personal property to be actually given away to purchasers of the celebrated Street, “Golden-Rod” and “Presto” Gigars in 1888. We have sold these goods for the past ten years at the uniform price of $55 per M. for ‘‘Golden-Rod” and $385 per M. for the ‘‘Presto” cigars, and skall continue to sell them at that price, thus charging noth- ie extra for the property we shall distrib- ute. We have figured that by liberal advertis- ing we can save the salaries and expenses of several men on the road and that the dif- ference will pay for this property and the purchasers of the goods will get the direct benefit. Just look at this carefully and see a plain business proposition. We hand over to you direct the amount tt would cost us to sell these goods in the ordinary way. We will distribute this folowing manner: property in the We will start an order book at this date with lines numbered from 1 to 3,900 and | cach order will be entered in the book in the order it is received at our office. Every fifth order received will entitle the party ordering to a fine gold handled sil! umbrella which will be sent with the eens Every 24th order received will entitle sender to a full tea set of 56 pieces Import- ed China Ware, which will be sent with the eigars. See Every 74th order received will entitle the party ordering to a clear title deed of a piece of real-estate. Either a building lot and water privilege, at a* summer resort, a city lot in city of Sault Ste Marie, a house and lot in St. Ignace, or a farm of 160 acres. There are 39 lots of the real estate and 720 articles of personal property to go with 3,000 orders, an average of more than one in four. An order will consist of 1g M. ‘‘Goiden Rod” cigars at $55 per M. or 1 M. ‘*Presto” cigars at $35 per M. An order of double this amount from ene party will be entered as two orders. These cigars are not made of cheap m2- terial, like the ordinary scheme cigar, but are First-Class Goods, made as we have always made them, to hold trade. The ‘‘Golden-Rod” is made from the finest imported Vuelta Havana, long filler, straight hand-made goods, without flavor, and as fine as anything made in the U. S. Sold at their market value, without regard to the property given away. The “Presto” cigar isa very nice imported scrap-cigar, gives universal satisfaction and sells in many places at 10c. The summer resort lots are on the beau- tiful Lakeville Lake in Oakland Co. on the P.O. & P. A. R. R., ahandsomer lake with better fishing than Orion, six miles distant. Lots 40 feet by 80 rods with good lake front privilege, value $50 each. The lots at the Soo are within 14 ofa mile of the water power canal. In the heart of the city, with houses all around them, 40x124 feet, valued at $1,000 each. The house and lot at St. Ignace is in the third ward on Main street. House occu- | pied by tenant, valued at $1,000. The farm i8 within two miles of Carp Lake Station, on theG. R. & 1. KR. R. Six miles from Mackinaw City, hardwood and cedar, good front on Carp Lake, seven acres under cultivation, valued at $8,200. Warrantee—deeds of real estate will be sent with the cigars, which come in proper order. When the property is all distriouted, cir- culars will be sent to each purchaser of cigars, showing name and address of par- ties getting these presents. Send in your orders, somebody will get: somé good property for nothing. You will}: get warranted goods, worth the price put on them. The value of the presents is not taken out of the goods. “Terms on. cigars, 60 days to responsible : parties, or 5 per cent. off for cash.

This _ set me to thinking, and I made up my mind _ that Td put in enough quinine to last _ through the winter, for it might go up and “I didn’t want to be caught by the rise in price. Solsat down and wrote out my order for such goods as I needed and ended it up by saying, ‘E anticipate a rise in quinine, and you may send me tweniy eunds,’ eon e “OT course L meant twenty ounces. It ‘was worth $2 an ounce then, and $40 worth was a big stock for me; but I set down - twenty pognds, and the order went forward. The next day I gota dispatch from the ow olesale house of which 1 bought, asking - me to send a duplicate order fer quinine, as they thought there must be a mistake. ‘Well, I-was younger then than I am now. sand I wired them back to fill my order as it ‘Was sent, and if they felt doubtful about heir money they could draw at sight.-- You a “see I got hot because I thought they ought not to hesitate about shipping me twenty “ounces of quinine even it my orders had ‘been usnally for only about’ four eunces.- ““When they got my reply they concluded = that I was in fora big speculation and -had the money to back it up, and so they gave me full benefit. They shipped the goods, and in due time I got the bill. _ “You can imagiae my feelings when I read this item : _. 320 02. Sulph-Quin—at $2.00—#640.00. “Well, it made my hair stand on end...

Having a registered pharmacist’s certificate,~ hanging up in the store does not-answer the requirement; the registered pharmacist must be actually in charge. " Any person not a registered pharmacist, within the meaning of that Act, contemplat- ing starting or purchasing a drug store, or of adding a line of drugs to a general store, must employ and place in personal charge a registered pharmagist. Such proprietor can- not compound physicians’ prescriptions or sell drugs, medicines and poisons, in the ab- sence of the registered pharmacist in charge, except a few articles allowed to be sold by anyone, under Section 10 of said law. In case of violation of the law, if com- plaint is made, it becomes obligatory upon the Board to investigate the case, and if such case is based upon facts, to prosecute the of- fender. For this purpose they employ an attorney, who has been very successful in securing convictions. Out of thirteen cases tried since August 1, 1887, he has secured eleven convictions; one case was lost on ac- count of a defect in the complaint and the other case by reason of an unreliable wit- ness. The Board propose to see the law enforc- ed and take this method of informing the public of the fact and also as a warning to those who may now be violating the law or may intend to violate the law hereafter, that they will be prosecuted if such violation comes to the knowledge of the Board. It is the moral duty of every registered pharma- cist in the State to notify the Board of vio- lations. Such complaint should be filed with the Secretary, duly signed by the per- son cognizant of the fact. Notifications not signed will, for good reasons, not receive any attention. The person giving the in- formation will not be required to take any part in the prosecution, or be known in the case, but we desire the name so as to know that it is a bona fide complaint. We do not -| desire to do any person an injury, -but in- tend that all must live up to the law. The Board meet upon the first Tuesday of March, July and November of each year for the purpose of examining candidates for registration. Do not engage in the drug business until registered as required by law;. a failure to pass may leave you with a stock of goods on hand that you cannot sell at re- tail yourself. In such a case you must place a registed pharmacist in charge at once. Copies of the law and such other informa- tion as may be desired can be secured by addressing the Secretary.

A friend of mine in Boston had a very large window, the glass measuring ten feet high by eight feet wide. ‘The window was on a Very prominent corner, and was a source of worriment to the owner. I noticed that passers-by hardly looked atit; so I said to him that if he would allow me to spend $10 I wouid try and arrange the window the next day. Calling upon one of my whole- sale friends, I noticed that he had in an up- per loft, through which he was showing me, an old liquor barrel—one of the many-hoop- ed kind that were used years ago. I said to him: ‘I want to buy that package.” He asked for what. I said: ‘I wantitforone of your customers,” and I bought, it and sent it to the store- During the forenoon I called on an upholsterer and made an en- gagement to meet him at the store of my friend, and, on going to the store, I found the upholsterer and the liquor barrel. My friend, the proprietor, smiled when he saw the combination; but, tacking a sheet of pa- per in front of the window, we went to work. Cleaning out the large assortment of stuff, such as soaps, perfumes, and a hun- dred lesser articles, 1 had the upholsterer take the measure of the window for a lam- brequin reaching forty inches from the base to be made of heavy creton. Measure was taken for a bright red carpet to fit in the bottom of the window, and the mechanical part of the work was finished; so, the next day, after the upholsterer had finished, without anything in it the window looked 100 per cent. better. Then, taking the li- quor barrel, after the ends had been nicely varnished, it waseplaced in the , window on Qgneat base made of two boxes hicely cov- ered with the carpet. A card, neatly la- beled, ‘‘Perfeetly Pure Imported St. Thom- as Bay Kum,” was placed upon the barrel, and about four dozen pint bottles of bay rum, neatly labeled, composed the show. The canvas screen was taken down, and 300 pints of bay rum were the sales of the fol-| lowing six days. That window has been changed weekly since—the week after with an original rose-water can, arranged in same manner, and rarely more than one-article at atime. _. -. An American manufacturer of sugar- coated pills added to the attractions of an rexhibit of his product in London an in- genious piece of mechanism, which might ‘| have been intended te represent the phar- macist of the future. It was in the form of a cabinet provided with a series of knobs or buttoms, each inscribed with the name of | some malady for which a remedy might be asked.

I must say that the beneficial effects on weak and debilitated patients have been most satisfactory, espec- iaily to those in a stage of recovery after se- vere sickness.

I ave used many of the so-called ‘“‘Malt Ex- tracts,” but believe your preparation to be superior. In the aged where the digestive functions are exhausted, and there is a loss of the nerve vital foree, I found its action to be rapid and permanent. : a ELIAS WILDMAN, M. D. Work-House Hospitai, .
