To keep trade i« the particular
line in which you profee« to deal,
it. I« necessary to always have on
hand a well-asaorted line of good«
so that your customers can rely on
finding just what they want. How
often does it happen that custom
era, but especially those calling at
yonr store for toe first time, not
finding the article they first call for,
pass on to another store whew
they are possibly more fortunate
and make the balance of their pur
chases for the time being, thus run
ning the risk of losing. If not all,
a part of their trade. To obviate
this, we. recommend the following
plan as worthy of consideration.
A memorandum book—which for
convenience soke may be called a
"purchase book"—should be kept
easy of access in some part of toe
stoic where it can always be found
so that whenever any article is
nearly sold ont it may be entered
therein. Or it may be that some j
article which you eonld sell to ad
vantage might be suggested in
trading that could be added prof
itably to yonr stock. This plan
would not only help your memory,
but save a great deal or worry
when about to make your purchase,
either from a drummer or sending
orders by mail, or preparatory to
ward yoitr visiting toe markets.
Instead of hurriedly running over ;
your stock on hand, and thereby
possibly overlooking some impor
tant, article« you meant to purchase, j
yon have merely to consult your
purchase book, where, if it has
been properly attended to, yon
will find nearly all the articles nee-1
essary to porphtuse entered. By
this simple means yon not ouly
save yourself anxiety, but are less !
likely to purchase an uneven bal-j
au ce stock of goods. We have
seen this method tried with perfect
success, and recommend it as an
excellent plan to enable the store
keeper to keep a well assorted
stock always on hand, and thereby
succeed in holding on to his trade.
A Rwwuttie Story sf a Miue.
[Washington Star,]
The mention m toe Star that
toe Mexican «had taken possession j
of the San Feliato mine, and driven
toe American company who were
working it away, recalls to a writer
for toe Star the romantic story
told her by a prominent New j
York physician in September. He :
said that twenty years ago he was
in Chicago, and was called to at
tend the bed-side of an old Mexi
can. The doctor remained faith
fully at his side until he drew hie}
last breath, and j ust before he died
toe old man said: "Doctor, may j
God reward you for your kindness
to me. I have no money to give
you, but I can tell yon a sevret
known to me only, which may
sometime prove valuable to you." i
In a faint voice he told of how he j
had become possessed of the i
knowledge of the exact locality of j
one of toe lost mines in Mexico,
which had not been worked for !
more than a century, and he gave
the physician the maps showing !
the situation which he had been!
carrying about with him, being too 1
poor himself to use the knowledge
for his own advantage, but always
hoping to find some one to buy his j
valuable secret. The physician ;
thought little of toe matter at the i
time, or for many years afterward.
Within a year he has been there
with a partner and bought toe
land where his maps said toe mine
would be found without disclosing
why he wanted that tract. The
mine was found, has been success
fully worked, and has proved one
of toe richest mines in Mexico.

[Texas,Siftings.]
The Rev. Whaugdoodie Baxter,
an Austin colored clergyman, wish
ed to hint to Unde Nace, who is
his near neighbor, that a gift of a
cord of fire wood would be veTy
gratefully accepted. Uneie Nace
by toe way, does not like Whang
doodle much. Finally, says Whang
doodle, insinuatingly, "Uncle Nace,
I'se gwine tor be powerful hard up
for firewood dis winter. Can't
yer gimme a load f"
Unde Nace looked all around as
if he was afraid of being over
heard, and then he said—
"Parson, is you worry pertiekler j
whar de wood comes from?"
Parson Whaugdoodle supposed I
this to mean that Uncle Nace was
going to give him some stolen
wood, so he replied :
"Unde Nace, as long as I get«
de wood, I don't keer whar it
"Den Parson, yon don't keer
whose wood yon bums up."
"Hit»« all de same to me, Uncle
Nave."
"Well, lam gwine," aaid Nace.
"War is yer gwine f"
"Ter lock up my wood shed."
