CHICAGO, Sept 30.-The proprieton
of some of the large retail groceries
and department stores in the city have
unearthed what is said to be the
strongest com bination ever formed to
control the price of sugar. It is said
that the wholesale grocers have
nearly perfected an arrangement
with the sugar trust by which re.
tail grocers and department stores will
be cut off. Several of the retailers
and department stores have already
been notified by the agents of the trust
that they will not be allowed to buy
any more sugar on parity with the
wholesalers.

LIES LESSON.

With what madness, untold sadness,
Spin we the tangled threads OF life;
With what worry, undue hurry,
And such eagerness for strife.
Do we so reeling, devoid OF feeling.
Save Cor self, ard self alone.
Through all the day. in life's pathway,
A noble hope unknown.
Tread we fearless. blind and fearless,
On many an aching heart;
While it lies bleeding we. unheedtng,
Race on as swift as at the start;
knowing never, if. or ever,
The thing we seek to clasp
Shall finally, in security
Rest in our eager grasp.
And then, at last when life is past.
And we hear the breakers roar
On the great sea of eternity.
AS they dash upon its shore
Too late we learn our chief concern
Were something else save trying
To pluck the flower, born Of the hour,
That fades while we are dying
