Not by a dang sight, I ain't!” Grandpa Macabee clutched a bulky package the postman had handed him and continued to mut- ter raspily: “So that young whip- persnapper that's courtin’ Amy thinks I'm too old to sell anything— me, that used to be the slickest tonic salesman with the Kickapoo Indian medicine shows! I'll show him! I still got my eye- sight and two good hands and legs, if I am nigh 80! I'll show that young rooster—"" “What you got in that package, grandpa?” interrupted a voice from the doorway. “Looks like a big book or something.” Grandpa Macabee jerked around | guiltily, peering through horn-rimmed spectacles at his favorite grand- daughter, Amy. “’Tain't none of your business, far as I kin see!” he retorted sharply. “But it ain't no book.

That's jest what that young whip- persnapper, what'’s been hangin’ around here every night fer a month. has been tryin’ to make me believe!” rasped grandpa indignantly.

A feller don’t sell | things with his feet! He sells 'em | with his head! An’ if you don't be- lieve it—" “I'm just dying to know what's in that sample kit,” eagerly interjected Amy. I wonder what—" With thin, palsied hands he re- moved the wrappings from the mys- terious package, revealing a brown box with a hinged lid. With the move- ments of a magician extracting a rab- bit from a hat, he lifted the lid triumphantly. Jest look at ‘em! Aain’t they hunky-dory!” Silk stockings!” exclaimed Amy in amazement. Why, Grandpa Macabee! And they're just exactly the kind that Jimmy sells!” The kind he tries to sell!” corrected grandpa sarcastically. That young smart aleck needs somebody to show him some real sellin’ ability!” T WAS the afterncon of an un- usually hot Summer day, and as Grandpa Macabee trudged wearily down a residence street in Springfield, salesman’s kit clutched tightly under one arm, he realized more than ever that if any sales were to be made that day he would have to rely on headwork rather than footwork.

POLICE HUNT FOUR IN UNION SLAYING Killers Escape in Auto After Shotguns Cut Down Victim, BY the Associatea Press. CHICAGO, November 24.—Michael Galvin, prominent in the turbulent affairs of teamster unions for almost two decades, died last night under shotgun fire from an automoblle which crept up to him as he walked along a street just west of the loop. Witnesses said the car, carrying | four men:and moving on the wrong side of the street, paused briefly. One man poked a shotgun through a window and fired three times. As| Galvin fell another gun was fired | from the rear window. The auto- | mobile, carrying no license plates, sped away. ' Police counted 40 wounds in Galvin's head and chest. Bombings, gunplay, arrests and offi- cial investigations have attended the affairs of the teamsters’ unions, and at least four leaders of various fac-| tions have died in the strife for supremacy. In the long course of dissension | between Galvin’s Truckers and Team- sters’ Union and the rival Interna-| | tional Truck Drivers and Chauffeurs’ | Union, headed by the late Patrick | Berrell, shootings and intimidations | were rampant. Berrell survived an attack in 1924, | but was slain eight years later. “Little Johnny” Gilmore, a Galvin rival, was slain in 1924, and George (Red) | Barker subsequently met death in & | renewal of the feud. \CASH GIFTS BARED | Republican.
