tells oil q couple. A few days npo An
honest farmer sold q lot ui apples 10 q
merchant In this city. They were nice
appearing apples, but after the seller
had left the merchant found that all but
the top layers consisted OF nheaBly, worth.
less cnllngs hardly fit for the inanniae-
ture Of cider. This poor granger had
better luck than the other Claukamas
county ranchman who sold a large lot OF
dairy butter TO a Portland merchant
The farmers wife had deitly, with n
specially adapted implement, punched q
large chunk, lengthwlse, out of the CEN
trum OF each roll and III ed up the cavity
with scraped potato. The Job had been
nicely done aud the deception was com.
plete. The Irish.potato dairyman had
just received the pay for his butter and
stepped out OF the door, when cus-
toner requested the merchant TO cut one
OF the rolls as he wanted only q half
one. A retailer seldom consents 10 cut
a roll, but lac did this time and the fraud
WAS discovered. Immediately this shop
keeper followed the honest farmer, his
2b per cent profit eye caught sight OF the
latter's form reeeding on tho sidewalk
and he pointed him out TO q cop. The
farmer was arrested. lie paid the police
justice $40, aud paid back the price ol
the butter, which was chueked into the
river.
