ST. Bernard Voice Gays ait ia re-
markable, as well as ludicrous, to see
the system Of economy practiced by
some people. They will hesitate
about patronizing their home printer,
for fear that hs charges 10 cents more
on job than the lowest cu.-throat
printer in the city. After thinking and
concluding that they will not run any
risk with him, they proceeded to the
corner barroon and blow in o dollar
for drinks. That's economy with o
vengeance"
