pend upon buying from the producer and
selling to the consumer. These are prin-
cIpies of trade to be generally commended
But successful cooperation is based upon
the policy of investing the profits of trade
iof the benefit of the purchaser.
IL number of persons, collectively, buy
stock OF goods and distribute them to
each other at wholesale or cost prices, there
IS no substantial evidence of profit, but an
lnVarlable creation of prejudice throughout
the mercantile continuity.
IL however, the same party dispose of
their wares to themselves and others at US
ual retaI. rates, and invest the profits in
favor Of those who purchase, the transac-
ton is at once pronounced legitimate and
laudable, and rapid accumulation of profit
is the result. Let us illustrate:
If$Ioo worth ofarticles be sold at whole
sale rates, quarterly for consumption dur
ing the year, there will be nothing at the
close of that year to present either as an
evidence of economy or thrift.
But should the same amount be sold du-
ring the first quarter at retail. and the prof
its (that is, the difference between whole
sale and retail prices be invested in favor
OF the purchaser, there would, at the begin
nlng OF the second quarter, be SIIo to re-
invest, If the sales netted only 10 per cent
This amount, again invested in goods to be
sold the second quarter at the same profit
of 10 per cent, would yield $I2I, to be in
vested at the beginning of the third quar-
ter; and the same operation repeated
through the third quarter, would increase
the amount to be invested at the beginning
OF the fourth quarter to $3.50. Continue
this operation during the fourth quarter,
and there would be, TO be0in the second
year, a capital of $I46.4I. Or, III other
words, an investment paying quarterly
dividends of 10 per cent is more than 46
per cent per annum.
It's not an extravagant assertion that, in
all mercantile transactions, an exchange is
seldom if ever made for less than 10 per ct
profit. Hence, successful cooperation is
dependent upon quick exchanges for cash
and cash only, and not upon wholesale buy
ing, or large marginal profits to secure ex-
tended credit

SMART CAT.-Mrs. Augustus Brooks
of East Eliot, Conn.,, has cat 13 years
old, which will stand up when ordered,
bow slowly or quickly as directed, walk
around the room on her hind legs only,
dance, turn somersaults, go through the
motions of holding a jewsharp to her
mouth with one paw and playing it with
the other, new when ordered to speak,
kiss her paw to visitors, hold saucer
of milk on her fore legs and lap the
milk, and stand on her hind feet ana
with her fore paws catch bits of bread
or meat thrown to her, like baseball
player. Her kitten, year old, will
turn somersaults. The same lady has a
hen which always wipes her feet on the
mat on entering the house, and if ask
ed, Chow do you get your living, bid
DIV 2" will scratch on the floor, look to
see if she has scratched out anything,
and then look ut the questioner to see
if the answer is correct this hen des-
pises the wooden, chalk and porcelain
cheats which some people palm off on
hens for nest eggs, and will not lay to
one of them, tumbling them out of her
nest as often as they are put in. A
rooster also will scratch the floor when
asked how he gets his living, but can
not be made to wipe his feet.
