Have you ever Been the motion of a
mole j ust under the ground. A wf ally
slow, awfully tiresome, ins't it ? The

missed his calling. Many of the

be moles the only thing is they have
missed their calling They know
nothing of the art of buying goods
then their business is grave yard:
Why, because they do not know
where they should buy. Six of each
huulred who enter the business. sue
ceed; uiuety-four fail. Why, because
so many moles think they are mer
chants. . Go in some of the stores now
in the dull season and you will think
you have struck a Morgue. Go to
Swindell's, you see a crowded store at
any hour of the day, and why, echo
answers why, the goods are bought
below the market price and when it
is time to do so Swindell Is able to
choke off the moles, and send them
in the hole and make them pull the
hole in after them.
