f- lions OF wood ana coal dealers
go. q gentleman living IN the house with me
ordered quarter OF q ton. OF coal of 4 dealer
ts-he has & box that has been entirely filled as
many as ten different times by quarter of 4
ton purchased from another dealer. The coal
in question was shoyeied into this box, and,
4C ! II didn't more than three-fourths Ill il; so
that the dealer was allowed TO take il away,
which he did with q that no more coal
should leave his yard till it was paid for. Now
there can he no mistake about the box, for il has
been tested too often. The matter can't be
explained by variation in the specific gravity
OF different kinds OF coal, for dealers say that II
won't vary One-half a bushel to a quarter of n
ton. 1t can't be explained upon the long and
short ton principle, for the dealer i'll question
promises 10 give 2,2iO pounds. This is not the
ID only case OF the kind that has come under my
personal observation. Now, what the

don't want 10 go TO great deal of trouble to
