"I suppose we all get caught at times, ' 1 remarked a well known business man yesterday, "but I have had an oxporience that was particularly mortifying to one who has been in business for forty years. "I received 'some time ago a letter ft oral 'a party living in a little towu in the west who Wanted a small bill of goods. ' 'Not finding his name in either Dun's or Bradst reefs I wrote the postmoster fot tbo man's ;sh.ad ing. I received a very fl&tterLik

letter in. xoturu, saying lhat the party 1 inquired about wi ue-m' the town's solid citizens and good for any amount. "This allayed any suspicion I had and I forwarded the good: ordered. "I sent three bills before I received an answer, and then it was not satisfactory. I allowed tho matter to run for some time, and at last getting a saucy letter in reply to letter of mine asking

for a settlement, 1 lost my temper

and wrote the postmaster a letter, telling him to hand the matter ovsr to the leading attorney in the town for collection, no matter what tho cost would be. "It wasn't long before 1 received an answer from the postmaster saying he had followed my

instructions and handed the. matter to an attorney, who hafi uacjded ic collecting the amount,' but at a considerable expense. Id fact the actor jey had a bill agaioit aw for $25 ,nove than he had eelleeted, and that he (the postmaster) had paid it and would look tt) me for the amount. "Here was a situation. I hadn't instructed the postmaster to act as my cashier, but thinking that that was the Western way of it, and not caring to have the fool postmaster lose the amount, I sent him a check and considered the matter closed.

"But the other day I chanced to meet a party who formerly lived in the town, and I asked him if he knew the party who had beaten me out of a bill of goods. He sfaid he did. He was a general utility man for the whole neighborhood. Ran a general store, kept the postoffice and when he could get nothing else to do took what business he could get as a lawyer. He added that he appeared to be making money, but it was a mystery to every nw how he managed it. "But it was ne mystery to me. I had seen a great light. He has an endless chain arrangement that will make him a fortune if some one doesn't got mad and go out there and kill him."
