George Washington Lee was the most boastful darky In the regiment. All the way across on the transport he hnd been telling the world whnt he was going to do to the German army.

Naturally when the outfit finally arrived In the front lines his companions looked for him to produce. But Wash appeared to be In no hurry. "Yo' all so brave, why don' yo' go out an' git some of dera Jummans lak yo' said?" sneered one. "Ah's gwlne. All's gwlne.

Gimme time," responded George. He peeked cautiously over the top. Seeing no activity from the German line he crawled over and finally stood erect. "Come on, Jumman," he quavered. Then he waited.

Silence reigned su preme. "Come on, yo' cowards I he shouted, feeling safe at last. "Come on out lieah an' meet yo' master. Come on, show me somethln', Ah'm waltln'." At that moment a German artillery man dropped a shell within a dozen yards of Wash. The explosion blew him unhurt back Into his own trench.

What yo' got ter say nowi" taunted a companion." Wash considered. "Well," he retorted, "no matter whnt you say about dera Jummans. yo' gotta admit they suah gives yo' service when yo' ask fo' It."

Sir John Shelley owned Mnresfield park In'Wel- i.gton's time, and Lady Shelley re- eirrds In her diary a woeful exhibition by the duke during one of his visits. "I accompanied the guns In the after noon." she writes on Sept. 8, 181U. "The hero of Waterloo was a very wild shot. After wounding a retriever and later on peppering a keeper's gaiters, he sprinkled the bare arms of nn old woman who chanted to be washing clothes at her cottage window.

You have had the distinction of being shot by the duke of Her face was wreathed In smiles as the contrite duke slipped a gold coin Into her hand." Wellington shared his weakness as poor shot with Napoleon, whose sole hag was a dog the only time he went out game shooting. A Little Gossip Now and Then. "Jermalon tells me that his wife is very angry with you because you did not keep your promise not to tell anybody what she told you about her sister-in-law," says Mr. Pllflckle, reprovingly.

"Well, she has no reason to censure me," asserts Mrs. Pllflckle. "I never confided it to anybody except you." "That's just It, my dear. I happened to mention it to one or two of the fellows doawntown, and they spread It around until it came to Jermalon's ears, and he told his wife about It.

A wave of new business methods and changes in long established prices on certain articles may soon occur in Galena consequent to the announcement of a ruling of the United States supreme court, to the effect that it was illegal for manufacturers to fix the price at which retailers or distributors should sell their product. The ruling of the supreme court that the practice is illegal is a rever sion of a former decision by lower courts, that the law did not prohibit resale price fixing unless there was the intent to create a monopoly. Price nxing was lirst resorted to by manufacturers, local dealers declare, to prevent destuctive, unfair competition and the prevalence of price cutting below a sound business cost price and even below in order to make a sale and hurt the business of a competitive line. A large firm with sumcient capital could wreck a competitor, dealers say. However, local merchants feel that when they have paid for goods the articles belong to them and they should be permitted to sell them as they see fit, the law of supply and demand fixing the price.

Costs of doing business vary for different merchants, it Is shown. Fixing the price on articles to some merchants necessitates that they sell the merchandise at a figure too low to give a safe margin of profit. Prices are fixed on certain articles thruout the entire United States. Most of these articles- are found in local establishments. A certain make of safety razor is a good example.

It must be sold for $5 and cannot be put on sale at a lower figure. Phonograps are handled by the dealers on a contract basis and they lose their contract if they sell at a lower figure. Some motor cars are sold on the same basis. Many automobile tires are sold at fixed prices. Grain reapers and binders are included among articles on which the sale price is fixed.

One make of oil stove is sold at a fixed price. In the grocery line prices on most package goods, tea, coffee, breakfast foods; gold dust, and numerous other articles are regulated by the manufacturer. Many of the toilet articles and patent medicine in a drug store come within the same classification.
