of how he won a customer:

an experience that proved very
valuable to me. There was an old
fellow on my route who had been
known for years as the terror of
. traveling men. He was declared
to be absolutely the worst-natured,
worst-mannered fellow they had
ever met anywhere, but I hadn’t
even heard of him then, and so I
entered his store very confidently
and handed him my card.
He took it without even glanc
ing at it, tore it into bits and
threw the pieces on the floor.
“No, sir/' he said turning to me,
“get out of my store.” There were

I started out I had a card made,
expressly for my good friend. It
looked exactly Eke the one I had

When I reached his town I
waited untiljl saw the" store pretty
well filled with people, and then 1
walked in, saluted the proprietor
and gave him my card. He took
it, just as before, glanced at me and
gave the card a twist. But it didn’t
fall on the floor in bits this time,
and he only succeeded in giving
his wrist a wrench and raising a
titter among the customers. I was
nearly out of the store by this
time, for I really didn’t think my
life was safe. But he called after
me and 1 went back. “Come into'
my office,” he said. I went in, ex
pecting never to come out.
“What do yen want to sell me?”
he asked.
“Dry goods,” I said.
“Well, go on.” And E actually
sold the old curmudgeon §1,000

barrels (ventilated) with the in
terstices filled with dry saud. The
points to be observed are to pre
vent exposure to the sun while dry

cool,* dry place, and keep them in
that condition. We have known
them kept perfectly by banking as
sweet potatoes, taking special care
to keep dry. In the North, air-
slacked lime is sometimes sprinkled
over the potatoes as they are be
ing stored away, especially if they
have been caught in a sudden
shower af rain. The lime also as
sists in preventing rot. We could
not advise putting up entirely with
lime, but have no doubt a small
quantity mixed with the sand
would be advantageous.
