Philadelphia Record: The war of the
sugar kings and the coffee kings is one
of the signs of the times from which
the pessimists may extract comfort. So

real tug of war will take place when
the giants shall have begun to swallow
each other. Then may come the con-
sumer's turn to play the role of giant

Following anecdote about a boy who
was an honest worker: One day, after
a severe storm, large number OF men
and boys were out on the roads of
country town to shovel out the drifts.
Each workman was paid quarter of
dollar an hour, and as may be sup
posed, there was no very strict watch
kept upon them; but one little fellow
seemed to be working with all his
might, and his comrades laughed at
him. "Why, Jim, are you after the Job
OF highway surveyor, or do you expect
to get more than the rest of us for
putting in so?" Lets put him out; he
is shortening our job; 'twont last till
night, at this rate" laughed another.
Il am getting mans pay for the first
time in my life, and l mean to earn it,"
said Jim. II don't suppose the town
cares, nor that I shall get any more
money at night; but shall feel a big
sight better myself" you've begun
right, Jim," said the surveyor, who was
not very strict in behalf of the town,
perhaps, but had business of his own,
where he appreciated workmen with q
conscience.
