plate-glass show window and smashed il,
and then hurried Off The shopman and
his clerks followed and seized him; took
500 dollar bill from his pocket, and after

RELATIVE PRICES OF GRAIN.

The legal standard by which grain is sold
in this market is: Wheat, GO pounds to the
bushel; corn SO pounds, and oats 32 pounds.
The present prices of these cereals show
that they are selling at very nearly the same
rate per pound. Yesterday wheat sold at
9S cents, corn 50 cents, and oats 81 T. cents
per bushel. Estimating corn anu 03ts at
the standard weight per bushel of wheat,
we have the following result: &

Another somewhat singular result Of the
present market price that, while wheat is
comparatively so low inithis market, ship
pers find the prices cents per bushel to
their loss in New York, while, notwith-
standing the high price Of oats, there is a
considerable profit in shipping that grain
TO New York.

ONLY ONE CUSTOMER was only
one customer that the surly man snub-
bed. The customer asked for ten cents
worth of wire The snrly man said
something to him about tho trouble of
cutting off so small piece, and sncer-
ed at him for being such small Gus.
toner. He cut it off from the roll, and
the customer, who had intended to buy
some hinges and bolts, and two or three
locks, which might have amounted in
all to five dollars. concluded to go to
another shop for the rest. He paid for
his ten cents worth of wire, and pushed
on to the next hardware store. The
surly man did not even bid him good
day. That one customer seemed very
small affair to the dealer, because he
wanted to purchase such a limited
amount Of merchandise. He forgot
that man does not ask in one breath
for all he wants. He forgot that the
small customer Of to-day may be a Tar
ger customer of tomorrow He forgot
that the man who is treated shabbily
at q store seldom returns to it except
for something which cannot be pur-
chased elsewhere. He forgot the iuflu-
ence which each customer carries with
him for good or i'll.
Courtesy brings custom, and if Gus
tom brings success in business, courte-
sly must not be neglected. A man who
is politely treated at a store, is very
apt to come again, and to mention his
experience to his friends A man who
is rudely dealt with is still more apt to
tell his friends Of it, and warn them
against the place. Some men have
built up large businesses, and have
made money in spite Of their uncivil
treatment Of people with whom they
deal. How much more they might
have made if they had been polite, it is
difficult to calculate. But let every
young man understand that, all things
being equal, the courteous business
man will make much better success
of his work than the crusty and lima
turcd one.
