A CHEMICAL RACKET.
It Was Good, But Didn't Work to Evory
Body's Satisfaction.

It Was Good, But Didn't Work to Evory
Rody's Satisfaction.
Said druggist to Chicago Tribune re-
;prter: ga commercial traveller whose
business is selling baking powder Of a low
grade was in quandary what to do. His
customers saw the analytic comparison by
diagrams in newspapers and naturally
would want the pyrest. In his dilemma he
came to ME to ask if could not put up
some chemical dodge on the other fellows
to get even for the advertisement. l mixed
him compound and gave him strict in-
structions how to use it. BY a little sleight-
of-hand trick he could pour the contents out
OF a bottle into glass OF water and 1T
would turn black or green, as he desired.
/ advised him to call for the green color
when processing to analyze any Of the ad-
rnittedly purest baking powders, but when
testing those which rivaled his own inper~
feet goods then he should shake the water
until it was black as ink. OF course, you
understand his own powder would always
call for the green color.
az didn't see my friend for some time
asterward, and then was surprised to see
him carving grip of shoe samples. He
told me he had quit selling baking powder,
that there was nothing in the business and
that he had better thing OF it in shoes"
usHow did the chemical racket workt' I
asked.
"sDon't say any thing about it-that con-
founded thing bust up the whole business.
"sHow was thas!' inquired.
"sWell, if you won't give me away I'll
tell YOU. You see went into store where
+ had never called before and saw number
of shcw-cards of various baking powders
hanging or the walls. I commenced the
usual story about the superiority OF our
goods over all competitors, and when the
proper time came produced my bottle OF
mixture and asked for a spoonful OF each
kind Of powder they had in stock

gave it to me, but didn't tumble worth Q

"sWhat blamed foolishness is this?' he
asked, rather savagely.

test which had cost the house thousands OF
dollars to have made.'
