from jobbers and from large retailers

many of them are thus sold ON guar
antee-that is, the buyers can return
what they do not seil--a pretty safe
business for the buyer. When the goods
fail to move at stipulated price. the
sellers are notified that certain guam
tity will be returned. Then new nego-
tiafions begin
If they are in jobbers' hands and the
quantity is large. drive may be ar
ranged for; if not large enough for this,
a sale may be arranged TO a larger re-
taller. Then comes his announcement
of a large purchase from a well known
manufacturer or importer, greatly be-
low cost, and being content with a
small profit they are to be sold below
cost. Very often, therefore, these sales
do not mean loss to the retailer OF to
the importer. bat usually TO the maker

who mako up the goods into garments
or convert them into bleached. dyed or

"All right, Mr.. Webster" quickly

fix it so you can try every case. !"
Webster was 50 amused over this

An ua,,i...d Charge.


A group of lawyers were telling sto-
ries in the corridors Of the city hall the
other day. when one related tale Of a
justice of the peace in one Of the south-
ern states where the narrator lived in
his earlier days. a case was being tried
before a jury in the Justices court,
there being a large number of witnesses
on both sides The lawyers contended
fiercely and the trial dragged on until
the taking of evidence and the argu-
ments before the jury had been con-
cluded.
well, gentlemen, are you through"
asked the justice, addressing himself TO
the lawyers.
Upon their reply in the affirmative
he then addressed himself to the jury,
saying:
"Gentlemen, it is now the duty Of
the court to say something to you. You
have heard the evidence of many wit
nesses and have heard what the lawyers
have said. will say that know all the
witnesses and know them TO be such
disrepntable persons that it will not be
necessary for you to pay any attention
10 what they have said even under oath.
Not one of them is TO be believed. As
for the lawyers, they are such scoun-
drels you need pay no attention to what
they have said, and as for the two liti-
gants. they are so mean it doesn't make
any difference which one of them gets
the worst of your decision Retire and
