"fho don wood lias long since Hung
ins blossoms out." Tho children havo
discarded shoes and barefooted wade
up ami down tlx- branches looking for
minnows and maybe a horny head oc
casionally. By all those signs we
know that summer Is coining and the
time of the agent drnweth nigh!
Therefore, a word of advice ami cau
tion just now may not be amiss though
whether either will be heeded or not.
Well that is a different proposition!
I have always believed that the South
is looked upon as an exceedingly fer
tile field when it < otnos to agents, for
we all know tiiat in an endless pro
cession tiny COIUC the Chicago por
trait fellow heads the procession
quickly followed by machine, piano,
range, fruit tree, lightning rod and
patent medicine and as the composi
tions, (of boys especially) when wrll
ten on " Trees", which was an exceed
Ingly favortc subject In our old school
at least, after naming all the trees
that he knew anything about would
add "and others too numerous to
mention.''
As I see these different agents go
forth from the towns into the fertile
territory of the surrounding country
1 always think of that verse "they
toil not, neither do they spin" and yet
from hard-working, yet easily gulled
farmers, they gather the shekels in!
Now the farmer at our house, level
headed in business as he usually is,
yet when an agent appears on the
scene, no matter what he has to sell,
even down to a bottle of [latent med
icine or a box of cattle powders
(which is exactly the same tiling as
throwing that much money away so
far as beiieflclont results are concern
ed) the farmer Immediately decides
that is exactly what is needed so he
I purchases. All my time and wits are
employed in shooing agents away. Ue
' Ciitisi1 if ever they ?-rct the farmer?
happy agent! lie has as good as one
sale to his credit sure.
The best way to gel them to pass
on is when he begins his nice smooth
little story to say firmly Not any
thing today"! Don't you hesitate a
minute for woe is one! if you do, you
will Und out to your sorrw "he that
hesitates is lost!"
Not long since a dapper young fel
low knocked at the door. "Good
morning," said I, as 1 eyed him du?
I biously "If you are an agent now I
don't care to see or purchase any
thing you have." "My dear lady,"
glibly broke he in. "I'm no agent but
or?demonstrator and 1 only wish to
ask you a few questions." Oh! well
come in and I'll try and answer your
questions."
All the while he kept up a running
conversation?ho patted our little girl
on the head?he praised the bright
looks of the little boy?he talked
weather he knew just a lot about
farming. He casually inquired the
number in family ?how many living
?were my parents dead and forget
ting for *the moment his "role" of
demonstrator he lapsed Into his nice
little smooth story and I spotted him!
"A demonstrator Indeed"! said I, out
of patience. "I know now that you
are an agent for the memorial pic
true of the White dove variety and you
need not go any further?I don't care
to purchase!" He left with the in
jured air of one who had tried to im
press upon an Ignorant soul the beau
ty of "high art" and failed. Ills next
visit must have put him In exceeding
ly good humor for when he passed
on his way back, he was gaily whist
ling. When the negro came over that
day at noon with his mule curiosity
prompted me to ask "Did you buy a
picture from the agent today?"
"Ves'm." Afterwards I learned that
he gave $7.00 for the picture and mort
gaged his shotgun and hog to secure
same! A picture for $7.00 that at an
exceedingly liberal estimate was
worth $1.00. One of you that is good
In mathematics figure out that per
cent. I want to leave this as a last
bit of advice?"Don't you ever forget,
dear reader, when an agent dashes
tip to the farm house door, with a
prancing of horses and a loud jing
ling of bells, always remember this ?
you pay very dear for the ringing of
the bells! That Is, If you buy, be it
either range, or machine, or piano, or
anything else. None of the agents
are In the business for their health
exclusively I wish there was some
way of securing statistics of this drain
on our country. I am sure it would
be worth studying. If you are able to
buy these things and pay cash order
direct from some responsible firm. If
you buy on credit you could make bet
ter arrangements by dealing with
your home merchant Anyway try this
plan when an agent dashes up this
year, say 'Not anything today" and
you'll feel bettor this fall.
