A REPEATER

Twelve years ago a man came to me and purchased a lot of fence posts. Last fall this. same gentleman returned and purchased a lot more. A • few days ago he came again and bought another quantity. He lives 16 miles away. Last fall he paid three times as mueh for these posts as be did 12 years ago. A few days ago he paid four times as much as he did 12 years ago. Next ‘he is coming again, perhaps nqr the last time. Because he knows that forests are rapidly melting away like snow in a spring wind. He will come once again and he will (pay five times as ranch for these posts as he did 12 years ago, and he will return to his 'hotne happier for 'he will know they are a much better buy than posts not made of oak. He la known as a very wise man. EVERETT HALSTEAD.
