A 6-foot Yankee, seated upon load Of
brooms, drove his team up before the
door of an establishment where he ex-
pected TO find purchaser. Jumping
from his seat he entered the store and
the following colloquy took place:
Yankee-Can't sell you load Of
brooms today, mister
Dealer-No; don't want any.
Yankee-Better take 'em-sen 'em dog
cheap.
Dealer-Dont want 'em, got enough
brooms.
Yankee-Tll tell you what I'll do. If
you'll take the lot I'll let 'em go for one
dollar dozen. You know they're wuth
double that.
The dealer stroked his chin for mo-
ment, as if in deep thought, and then re-
piled:
''Well, don't want any brooms, as l
told You, but l don't mind making a
trade with you"
What sort Of trader
Dealer-Well, I'll take your whole load
at one dollar dozen and pay you one
half cash, you to take the other half in
trade.
Yankee-No you don't misterl You'll
charge me such an all fred profit on the
other half that might come out at the
little end of the horn.
Dealer-Oh, no; promise You that
you shall have the goods just at what
they cost me.
Yankee-Wall, mister, that's what ]
call square dealin. It's bargain.
And he commenced to unload the
brooms in pile on the sidewalk. When
he got through he walked into the store.
There you are, mister; fourteen
dozen, which l calcurlate makes just
seven dollars comm to me-"
Dealer-Yes. that's right; there's the
money. Now what goods do you want
for the other seven dollars2
Yankee-Wall, dunno. You see,
mister, l hain't much posted in your
other truck, so guess I'll take brooms.

A good deal has been written in vari-
GUS quarters with regard to the little
Elizabethan pipes in which the late

pipes were SO short, they became So

There is a class Of men, particularly
In the western country, who get into tho
habit of stretching the truth of incidents
which occurred in their pioneer days un-
til they become to believe them as facts.
One of the most scientific of these is Jim
Hawthorne, whose home now is near
White Pine, Gunnison county. Here is
one of Jim's stories: me and my pard-
ner," he observed, made more money
in them days than we knew what to do
with. For instance, when we had that
big government contract for wood we
was rollin in money. Money was COM
moner than chipmunks, and 1t wasn't
much good to us neither, cause we didn't
have no stores to spend It at. That con-
tract was for 1000 cords of wood. Wo
got $175 q cord, and we made money
very easy" What was the government
doing with so much woodY" swell,
don't know. Some of it was used by
the Indians. The government just had
it left around handy for clambakes."
"Clambalxes?" why, cert; clambakes
were very common in them days on the
Platte" did you deliver the full con-
tract?' "No. We kind Of let mp after
we had delivered AZ, 900 cords We didn't
want to bust the government. just
tell this TO show you how plenty money
was in them days. Colorado Sun.

The Price OF Sugar.

Until very recently sugars have been sold
by wholesale dealers lii this country at very
small margin. and for some time past an effort
has been made by wholesale grocers 70 devise
a plan 10 secure them a somewhat better pro-
fit. The American Sugar Refining Company
OF New York, Boston and Philadelphia and
the wholesale dealers In the New England
States have for about q year followed out what
is called the equality system, and the same
plan has since July lst gone into effect IN the
Southern States.
This equality plan - at present carried out
in the States OF Vermont New Hampshire
New York. New Jersey Delaware, Maryland
Virginia North Carolina, entire; IN part Of
the state OF Pennsylvania
The basis for the daily sale of sugar by
wholesale dealers is what IS known as the
New York card price. This price is fixed
daily by the American Sugar Refining Com
pany and in making sales 10 retailers arbi-
trary figures have 10 be added at the rates Of
freight to the various points situated in the
States named above. These arbitrary figures
are given in private books of the equality
plan furnished TO wholesale dealers. and any
allowance in any form of any part of the re-
bate made by the American Sugar Refining
Company is considered a violation of the
terms of sale. The equality plan virtually
furnishes laid-down price for every town.
IL is based in measure on the freight rates
to the different points. and might be called a
kind OF combination freight rate which il
added to the New York card price. Retail
merchants pay the same price. no matter
what market they buy from. but the profit OF
wholesale dealers. who deduct the freight on
the bills of the retailers. may vary slightly
with their geographical situation.

FEW PLAIN WORDS TO THIRD PARTY.

Colonel Charles T. 0'Ferrail. according to

that the South will not vote for the Peoples
candidate. We do not know on what authority
Colonel O'Ferrall bases his opinion. but GER
tainly little plain common sense reflection
would lead him OF any one else TO such a con-
clusion. For what has any Southern man 10
gain by voting against the Democracy and for
third party The causes which led to the
formation of the Weaver organization were
that some of the farmers and other classes
felt that they were poorer than they ought to
be. and that they could not get such relief as
they wanted from either of the old parties, and
for this reason some of them joined what they
call the Peoples party. But IS there q

know with absolute certainty that there is no
possible chance for the success of any Third
party this year. and that If the Democrats do
not win the Republicans will There is not
one who. if he will express his honest convic-
tons will not admit this TO be true. What.
then, is TO be gained by Third party vote in
