the best stories with which he delights his
audiences Is. according to Harper's Round
Table, the one involving the question of
supply and demand, and the regulation OF
prices solely by these two factors. In d.
pute or this Mr.. Depew says that one day
he was walking along a street and passed
"a German butcher shop Out of curiosity
he entered the place and inquired the price
of sausages.
Twenty cents q pound" replied the
butcher.
But" said Mr.. Depew, 1T seems to me
] saw your sign this morning and IL read
Fresh sausages, 25c a pound. Why did you
reduce your pr!ce?"
ooh, lot was all right. I don't got none
now, und l can't sell any. Dot makes me
a reputation for selling sheap, und don't

According to this, AS MI. Depew says.
"There was no demand. as | didn't want
any. and there was no supply as the
butcher admit any, and yet the price Of
sausages went down"
