i I know one thing, when they fell ikey
crushed out u field of young corn- "
"Corn in winter? Gee, whillikint,!"
exclaimed all the children at once.
Brown scratched his head and look
ed at me helplessly, hut I failed to
indorse his story aud left with the re
mark
"Whosoever starts out to lie must
have a good memory to make a sue
I cess."
? I never saw my old friend for two ?
i or three days after he closed his hunt
iog story, but he is all right now. It
is bog killing time at our house, and
from where ? write I can see my old
friend squatting out by tho fire broil
ing malts for himself and thc children.
Ho han a pone of cold corn bread in
his hand aud will make his breakfast
right there of? of the melts aad would
not exchange it for a breakfast at tho
Kimball. We are both too old to
take an active part in hog killing, but
wc like to linger arouud the place
where it is going on, and you will al
ways find Brown with a little bag of
salt and a supply of corn bread. He
is sprinkling a broiling melt now with
salt and I think I will be excused for
hurrying out to where he is.
I thought I had closed this letter,
but thc impudence of Brown when I
went out to where he was pro
vokes me to reopen ?t. I never got
any melt-that is the most of my
grievance-but on top of that, when I
arrived oat at the fire what should my
old friend be aoing but tellies of a
great coon hunt he once had down on
Flint river. I soot? discovered that
Dick Holland was with bim this time,
too, and being that the children seem
ed so \ ell pleased between the mella
and the story, I let Brown spread him
self with somewhat of admiration for
his supreme impudence in offering to
relate another hunting expedition so
soon after his other night's experience.
I don't know what he had told before,
but I caught his tale just as I ap
proached as without a break he pro
ceeded:
"By this time we were at the edge
of Flint river bottoms, and Dick being
a little in front of mc, yelled out that
the dogs had treed. We were soon at
the place, and sure enough, they had
treed, and we fully expected tc sec a
first-class coon fight in a very short
space of time. Our game seemed to
have gone np a tree whieh had fallen
from the bluff and caught in the top
of a big bottom white oak. By the
time we were there one of the hounds
had already started out on the tree,
and quicker than I could tell it, there
was a small scramble in the tree top
and thc hound went ?umbering to thc
ground in the bottom below us. I
j told Dick that was no coon-I thought
? ic might Vie a bear-but while we were
! discussing this point another dog had
I got up a'oiong the branches and met
the same fate of the first one, and it
seemed to me that every bone in the
dog's boc y would bc broken from the
way he hit the ground. Before we
had time to consider what was best for
us to do a bull log that Dick had
brought along WAS on his way out thc
bending tree and wc lot him go.
Quicker than I could tell you, there
was a little commotion io thc tree top
and lumbering to thc ground went the
bulldog and our game. It wasn't no
c?on."
"What waa it?" asked all the chil
dren.
"It wasn't a thing," said Brown,
"but Bob Puckett's old butting billy
goat."
"Gee-whillikicsl" exclaimed all the
children in chorus, while Brown
gulped down thc last piece of melt
and went sauntering toward the horse
lot. SARGE PLUNKETT.

Two Feinted Questions Answered.
What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you
can not get a better price for it?
Ans.-Aa there ia un difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so tbat while our profits may
be smaller on a single sale they will
be much premer in the aggregate.
How can you get thc public to kuow
your make is the best ?
If both articles are brought promi
nently before the public both aro cer
tain tb be tried and the pu blie will
very quickly pass judgment on them
and UPC only the better one.

The M??t Fatal (Jiff, of Beauty.
I? beauty an advantage or otherwise
to a womat) who has to work fur a liv
iug?
Ten yearn ugo such a question
would have been regarded as a joke.
Io those day? beauty aud a lot of it
was the motto But times have
changed, and, strange and irrational
aa it may scum, good looks are not
only at a discount iu the modern bus
iness world, but positive ugliness is
enjoying a boom.
Nowadays the "fatal gift of beauty"
is particularly fatal to a job. "Yes,
sir, there is a growing ptejudice
against employing very haudtome wo
men,*' said a big retailer, "lt's uo
joke, ano (herc's uo seutimeut about
it. It is just a cold-drawn matter of
busiuess. I don't care how compe
tent a strikingly handsome woman
may bc, or how discreet and quiet and
industrious she is-she is bound to
demoralize the force. She makes tho
women jealous and the men absent
minded, aud it tella on their work. Of
course, she ean't h<dp it, but that's no
affair of mine.
"I've made a study of the subject,"
ho continued, "and I know what I'm
talking about. A real beauty in a
store will reduce the working capacity
of its employees about twenty per t
cent. If she happens to be of a very
uuusual type-a blonde, for iustance,
with dark eyes-the reduction will be
fully tweuty-five per cent. Suppose
the pay roll IB $760 a week-you'd
have to make an entry every Saturday
like this: 'To depreciation on ac
count of blonde, dark eyes, $187 50.'
That is enough to break a Vander
bilt.
"I'm talking from experience. We
had a young lady clerk here once who
had everything in the world to recom
mend her except homeliness. She was
beautiful, poor child, and what made
it worse, she had that hopeless, ine
radicable kind of beauty that doesn't
outgrow, like warts and freckles, and
is alv?ays the same no matter what
happens. I believe that girl could
have fallen into a hogshead of black
molasses and come out still radiantly
lovely. Well, she went to work, and
I never had a better or more faithful
employee, but the deadly demoraliza
tion began the moment she stepped
behind the counter. Everybody felt
it. The bookkeeper was a surly
Scotchman, and about as emotional
as a fried oyster. In less than a week
he was raising a mustache, and mak
about forty errors a day ou his ledger.
The correspondence clerk started half
his letters "Dear Annie," instead of
"Dear Sir;" and thc cashier was short
every night through trying to make
change with one eye on the lady. And
that wasn't all. The floorwalker and
head salesman became rivals-in their
minds, because she never as much as
looked at either one of them-and had
it out while the store was fall of cus
tomers. They spattered gore all over
the ribbon department and finally roll
ed through an open hatchway and
were both laid up for a month. And
now, by George, they are threaten
ing me with a damage suit. I am
only mentioning a few of the worst
cases.
"I thought thc head porter would
escape because he was such ? disa
greeable old rascal, and besides he
had a family as big as a kindergarten
-but he didn't. He primped himself
up until he looked like a shaved ape,
and when he realized that ho wasn't
in the running he got even by beating
his wife. She had him arrested and
meanwhile the elevator man nearly
murdered several of our best patrons
by stopping the elevator between
floors to feast his eyes on the charm
er. By that time I thought the
thing had gone far enough, and I let
the girl go. I advised her to get a job
in the telephone exchange, where folks
couldn't see her."
But I thought handsome clerk? were
considered valuable for drawing cus
tomers?" said the reporter.
"That used to'be the theory, but
it's exploded. Years ago a big con
fectionary shop became famous all
over the country for its beautiful
salesladies. The result of the experi
ment was this: The place lost all the
women customers, and the trade of
the men proved worthless. A young
chappie would drop in, buy a stick of
gum for a cent, and talk three hours
on a stretch. At' last the proprietor
discharged the . whole force and en
gaged a lot of the homliest women
cross-eyed preferred. After that, he
made a fortune. And so it goes. I
could cite you a hundred cases, but
you can say confidently that pretty
women-very pretty women, I mean
are at a great disadvantage in busi
ness. It's next to impossible for one
togctajob. The homely girls have
tho call."

-The Southern Star, thc first Mor
mon paper to bc published in tho
South, made its appearance in this
city to day. It i.* a weekly, is edited
by Elder I). P. Felt and represent*
thirteen conferences in ten Southern
States. It is to be circulated in north
Georgia, north Alabama and in North
and South Carolina especially.
Tho Story of Two (?vnerons Highway*
men.
Tho-e who arc conversant with thc
ways of tho Southern people arc aware
that at thc close of the war it was a
fr? quent occurrence for ''ol' massa"
ti leave a little pha of ground to
his slaves who had served him faith
fully, or in some other way pro
vide for thfir future. This was
the case with Aunt Jennie Harris,
who was left, by the will of her old
master, quite a comfortable home in
Missouri between Harrieonvillo and
Pleasant Hill. But with thc usual
negro prodigality, which could never
realize that an end might come to
their fortune, Aunt dennie placed a
mortgage on her home for $1,400.
Time passed and the very day when
the mortgage fell due came around
and there was no providion for paying
it off. Notice had been received that
tho Sheriff would call that day at '1
o'clock and if the money was not
forthcoming the mortgage would be
foreclosed and thc piece of ground
taken away from her. So that morn
ing she sent her two sons into town
to sec if they could.raise the amount
by a second mortgage. This was iu
the fall of *78.
While they were absent two men
rode up and asked for a drink. Thc
old auntie waited upon them and while
doing so told ber trials and tribula
tions, not pausing until they were in
possession of every fact in thc ?ase.
The two men appeared interested in
her story and alighting from their
horses asked if she could give them
some dinner. With the hospitality
born in the colored race of the old
regime she hastened to kill and fry a
chieken, bake some sweet potatoes
and mix up a corn pone.
"What's yo' bus'ness?" inquired
the old colored woman, with easy fa
miliarity.
"Uh, we are cattle buyers. Kiding
around the country buying up cattle."
"Wha* yo' bo'n ?" was the next
question.
"In Scott County, Kentucky."
"Ko' de Lawd. Dat wha' I com'
frum," and auntie redoubled her
energy in getting up a delectable din
ner during which she explained again
and again, with many a moan, that
the sheriff was to be there at 3 o'clock
that afternoon to foreclose thc mort
gage if she did not have thc money to
"lift" it, and her doubts of her boys
ability to raise the money in town.
It was an excellent dinner, just such
an one as none but a Southern house
servant can get up, and when it was
eaten one of the men asked :
"How much is the dinner worth?"
"Vo' de Lawd," auntie replied, "yo'
don't suppose one Kaintuckian want
to charge another for a dinner ?"
"Well. I'll tell you how muoh we
consider it worth. Just $700apiece."
And counting out thc money they
eaoh handed her $700.
Then followed one of those scenes
never witnessed probably except where
an old slave is the chief actor. The
old woman never doubted the.sincerity
of the men. She fell on her knees
and prayed, shouted "hallelujah" and
called down all manner of blessings on
them.
"Is yo* angel?" she asked.
"No," one of them replied. "We
are flesh and blood. You say thc
Sheriff is to be here at 3 o'clock ?"
"Yas, massa."
"And will come down that road
there ?"
"Yas, massa."
'"Well, you make him sign your
papers all right and give you a receipt
before you count out to him the mon
ey."
Thc old negress promised faithfully
that she would and the two men rode
away.
At 3 o'clock the Sheriff called aud
when he learned that the money was
ready for him released the mortgage,
took the money and started home.
Half a mile from thc cabin as he was
passing through a strip of woods, two
men-the cattle buyers-stepped out
and relieved him of the $1,400.-St.

Imitation Egg*.
The latest product of American
genius in the gioceiy line is artificial
eggs, says Th? Grocery World. Tho
new idea is ma uidde iu imitation of
thc egg itself, hui is a powder made
from skim milk. For cooking uses it
is ?aid to be identical with eggs.
The new powder is dunned by the
back? rs to do just us well iu cooking
as fresh eggs and much belter (han thc
stale. The new powder does notdcte
riotate, and its ell. ci iu cooking is the
same as that of a fresh egg, with this
difference-that only two-thirds of the
usual niuouiit of shortening is re
quired.
lt is estimated that a pound of the
powder is equivalent lo six und u h,tlf j
dozen eggs. A pound is a little more I
than a pint of milk. Thc i u veil tor us
serts that artificial eggs will bo as I
standard a product us patent Hour ;
within two years.
M<?re thati 70 per cent, of the egg
powder is proteids, though the per
centage of albumen, or egg white, is
about one-half as large as in the ben
eggs. The obly ingredient lacking is
the albuminoid of iron, which is unim
portant. Milk eggs will be made all
