A Clever Scheme Which Was Worked

A Clever Scheme Which Was Worked
by n Matchmaker.
Il don't care to mention names" said
n visitor from New Jersey, but this is
an absolutely true story of how one
man at least beat big trust at its
own game. He was at the head of
small concern making-let us say-car
wheels chats not exactly it, but pretty
nearly, and about year ago he got
private hint that the other car-wheel
people were arranging combine. He
said nothing, but Immediately commu-
n1cated with several of the largest con-
sumers, and by offering confidentially
reduction of about 10 per cent. Sc
cured advance orders that would oc-
cupy him over two years to fill, run
ming at full capacity. At the price
named every wheel would be made at
loss, and his partners were badly
scared. He told them to keep their
mouths shut and wait
In few months the trust was or
ganlzed, according to programme, and
one day bland agent dropped in and
offered him a fair price for the plant.
He said he didn't care to SELL The
trust thereupon proceeded to put on
the screws in the usual fashion. In
other words, they cut rates, but,
strange to say, the little matchmaker
didn't seem to care. Then they made
another and much larger cut with the
Intention of freezing him out Mt one
fell swoop.
That was just what he was waiting
for, and through third party he in
stantly placed orders covering all the
contracts he had made at figure that
left him handsome margin Of profit.
Without suspecting that the large or
ders came from their intended victim
the trust people became alarmed at the
losses incurred in the freezing out pro-
cess and made him another and much
better offer for his plant, which he
promptly accepted
Now the trust has the concern and is
obliged to run it day and night to make
wheels at 20 per cent. under actual cost
for the man it tried to ruin. AS fast as
he gets them he turns them over on his
contracts. and reaps the intermediate
profit, while, needless to say, the trust
magnates howl with anguish every
time they make delivery. The little

some Copsnus Languages.

Among all the European languages
the English is the richest SO far as the
number of words is concerned, and it
is also the one which has added to its
vocabulary the largest number Of
words within the last half century. The
latest English dictionaries contain not
less than 10000 different words. Next
in rank comes the German language,
with $4,000 words, and then come in
succession the Italian, with 80 600; the
French, with 10000. and the Spanish,
with 10000 words. Among the oriental
languages the Arabic Is the most c0pi-
GUS, It's vocabulary being even richer
than that Of the English language. In
the Chinese languages there are 10000
syllables or roots, out Of which it is pos
sible to frame 10000 words. Another
notable language is the old Indian Ia
mil, which is now spoken in the south
of India, and which contains, accord
ing to the latest calculations, 81, 642-
words. In the Turkish language there
are 22,590 words, and thus it is richer
than the Spanish and some other Euro
pean languages. A singular fact Is
that aborigines, as rule, have very
limited yocabnlaries. The Kaffirs Of
South Africa have at their disposal
not more than 5000 words, and the ma
|tiyes of Australia use only 1000 words.
