Han TELLS AN INTERESTING TALE. II. E. Converse and A. C.

Holt, of Eau Claire, were Abilene visitors several days last week, leaving Saturday on the Hock Island for Xew Orleans, after buying one of C. W. Parker's automatic rifle ranges, the second investment in this direction by the gentleman first-named. A reporter for the Chronicle chanced to moot the visitors at Mr. Parker's commodious factory, where business had called him.

Sitting in he office he led Mr. Converse, who has oysry appearance of the quick, 4harp businoss-man, to talk of his experience with his first venture in the rifle gallery business. "I was in the confectionery and news business," said Mr. 'and I went broke. With a family on my hands to provide for I was at a loss to know what to do.

I got a sample book from a Chicago tailoring house and secured enough orders to give me a stake to go to Omaha. While there I saw tho gallery put in by Mr. Parker and that it was attracting a big patronage. I priced the gallery and then, inquiring into the cost of cartridges, began to do some figuring on possible profits. "It took me but a short time to conclude that it was a good thing and by rustling I got enough together to buy one, which I did, after some correspondence with Mr.

Parker, but it was not without somo apprehensions as to the outcome of my venture for I was as green about games and galleries as they grow 'em and didn't think I had gall enough to run an amusement of the kind. Anyway, I bought, and Bet up in Minneapolis, where like a novice I put up $5 a day room rent and incurred other expenses that run my total up to $8 a day. Why, to show you how green I was I'll tell you that I didn't know enough to handle the rill os and when I got one at half-cock and couldn't get it backward or forward was chump enough to pay a gunsmith a dollar to 'tlx' the gun whon all it needed was to let the hammer down. I paid the same follow $12 one week to cloan the rillos because I didn't know enough to swab them out. Oh, uo, I wasn't greon "lint I caught on all right and from the start made mouey.

I ran Hi weeks in Minneapolis and took in a total of $2111. When 1 openod the first day I had just 00 cents with which to buy cartridges and I felt like a millionair when, at the end of my l(i weeks run, I Bold my gallery for 200 above cost and had a roll that made me feel like a plutocrat. It put nie on my feet again and I've just bought and paid for a second gallery. Mr. Holt is now in tho deal with me and we are going south till warm weather, when we will re turn north.

A fellow wants weather that will permit of open doors to make a success. The noise and the music, if hoard, will attract the pub lie. "With the success I've had so far I'll be free of all debt shortly, for while I compromised with my creditors when I failed I am raak ing up the deficit to Ihom as fast as possible." Mr. Converse further said that tho gallery ho had in Minneapolis was the wonder of tho town and he painted all of Mr. Parkor's signs over so no one else would catch on to a scheme that was proving such a gold mine.

The gallery bought by Messrs Con verse and Holt during their visit here has been shipped to New Orleans. The Chromce has often wondered if Mr. Parker, in his statements rela tive to the money-making value of his rifle galleries, was not inclined to draw the longbow to some extent, but after our talk with Mr. Converge we are free to admit that he has not only not been extravagant in his claims, but has not placed his estimates high enough. In fact he has a letter now, which lie fears to i publish because the people may not believe it, reporting one week's pro-j ceeds of 385 from a gallery.

K. lingh, city attorney of Abilene, has a scheme for the collection of poll tax which he will ask the present legislature to enact into law. It is to have men between the agea of 21 and 45 years of ago either work two days on tho streets or pay $3 into tho treasury, instead of hiring other men to do it now for 2 per day. Mr. Hugh believes this will result in better streets, as it will leavo it with tho street commissioner whether or not ho shall employ cheap labor.

C. Wyandt, of tho Wyandt Insurance agency, has just completed a deal whereby, as agent, he has sold to Chas. II. Pattison, ex-county treasurer, the Cedar street business property known as tho Masonic hall block and Armory hall block, being the three story brick block at the corner of Third and Cedar and the two story brick block adjoining it on tho south. Tho two buildings contain four very desirable business rooms all occupied by good tenants and the second floors aro also occupied.

The price paid is not made public. Tho purchase by Mr. Pattison of so much Abilene real estate recently is a sure indication of his faith in tho city's future. In addition to the purchases named above he recently bought tho vacant corner at Second and Cedar, on which he ill eroct a substantial brick business block, and ho also purchased tho old Mead properly, on West Third street, in which ho resides. If ho did not believe in Abilene he certainly would not go so deeply into real estate.

1 Ten failures of firms that made a specialty in holiday goods are reported in New York since Christmas. They all carried large stocks, two of them valued at over $250,000 each. The significant fact about each bankrupt firm wa9 that it did not advertise in the newspapers. Another significant fact is that the merchants of New York who used newspaper space liberally, announce that their holiday business was the greatest in many years. The Junction City Union truthfully says:" "Good citizens do not borrow the local daily paper.

The paper is a local business enterprise, and if it is worth borrowing to read it is certainly worth paying for. The price of the daily means only "two cigars" or "two beers" and tho follows who take the most cigars and the most beer are usually the ones who are "too poor" to provide their family with a daily paper, but always want one borrowed."

Tho works are a perfect hive of ndustry well worth a visit by our people, few of home realize the magnitude of tho industry that has grown up in our midst under tho management and Bole ownership of energetic Charlie Parker. Thousands of dollars are there in machinery, engines, organs, tents, rille galleries and merry-go-rounds in a moro or less advanced stage of manufacture or rehabilitation, with never a dollar against a piece of personal property or a foot of ground. Such success is to bo congratu lated, not envied, for Mr. Parker is employing more help at good wages and bringing more clear money into Abilene through sales and visiting buyers than any other business in the city, barring none.
