To get the best price for the small animal for the farmer, in reduced circumstances, they con cluded to' not give him any load to carry; 'but $ man passing them on the road said it would do no harm for the farmer's son to ride him. ( Coming along later, a party of men and women said, "Look at that good - for - nothing boy riding and letting4 Jiis father trudge along on foot!" So the father climbed up and sat behind his son. By and by more travelers came along and said aloud, for everybody to hear, "What a shame for two men to be on that little beast's back! It is' enough to kill him." Whereupon the father and son got off the pony and the whole three walked to town, saying to each -other, "Trying to please everybody pleases nobody." And yet this New Kind of Store has 'agreeable recollections, of the past sixty years, of trying to please. Signed September 14, 1020. N OT a Day Too Early for.

Pots and Kettles and Pans and People There is as much difference between pots, kettles and pans as there is be tween people.
