The Credit Mans Costly Error
From the Chicago Evening Post

From the Chicago Evening Post
Sometimes a credit man goes all wrong
but not often 4 country merchant
came up from Indiana with written list
of the things he wanted He said be was
new to the business, but he meant to have
a partner who was wise. After he had
picked out goods amounting to IS, 600 he
was introduced to the credit man, and he
looked so uncouth and inefficient that the
credit man wondered how good clerks had
been wasting their time on him.
''What terms do you want, Mr.?
He stopped and the visitor supplied the
name.
''WeT, down in our country We always
pay after harvest.
But harvest is past You don mean
next harvest-in 10000 you
'Well, that 5 when my people will pay
me.
"Oh we couldn't do that. Ninety
days is the very best | could give you.
And even at that he wanted to know a great
many things about his visitor $ prospects.
How much if | pay all in 90 days?
The credit man quoted the terms.
.tHow much in BOP
A discount was mentioned.
ssHow much for cash p
''Spot cash ? Money down?
Yes-curency,
1t was wild question, The credit
man knew he had no chance to get IS, 900
out Of that man, and he quoted beauti-
full discount.
well, receipt the bill, was the coun-
tryman's rejoinder. And out from the
folds of a So suit of clothes he dragged
money enough to buy yacht and run it
all summer.
He didn't put on much style, but he
figures he saved the expenses of his
Chicago trip.

Trust Charges Here And Abroad

From the New orleans Times Democrat
The worst feature of the trusts in their
plundering is the fact that, almost without
exception, they charge their American pa
irons more than they do the people of
other countries. Their prices are high at
home because of their monopoly of the
market; while abroad, where they are met
bv competition, they reduce their charges
If there was any doubt as to their injus-
tiee. or as to the fact that their existence
is due to conditions prevailing in this coun-
try, and this country alone, the trusts
themselves furnish it by the lower prices
at which they sell their products in Eng
land than in the United States.
This fact has come to light very con-
spicuously of late years, as our exports Of
manufactured goods have increased
While it is probable that American manu-
facturers have for some time charged more
for goods sold at home than for those ex-
ported, they have been able to conceal the
fact more or less They are very anxious
to conceal it today, but our exports have
grown so large that it is no longer posi-
BILE, and the facts that are leaking out are
such as to make the American people very
angry and more determined than ever to
crush the monopolies which have taken
advantage of their necessities, and of the
protection and assistance the Government
has given them.

killing Grass with Blue vitriol.

Grass and weeds in walks are a nuisance,
and my experience with salt to prevent
their growth has not been very satisfactory,
but blue vitriol is effective 1t should be
bought at a drug store at the rate of four
pounds for twenty five cents, costing about
+ cents wholesale One pound of the
vitriol to gallon of water gives the
strength 1 used, although weaker solu-
ton will do the work if enough of it is
used. Rank grass can be killed with it,
though less is required for the walk when
the largest grass is first removed A small
amount of the solution then enters the soil,
killing all roots and the weeds seed near
the surface. Not only for stone and brick
walks, but for gravel or other driveways,
an application need not be made very ex-
pensive, and it seems to be lasting in its
effects

GOD'S-ACRB,
By Longfellow.

l like that ancient saxon phrase which calls
The burial ground Gods-Acrel 1t is just;
II consecates each grave within its walls,
And breathes a benson DER the sleeping dust.
God's-Acre! Yes. that blessed name imparts
Comfort to those who in the grave have sown
The seed that they had garnered in their hearts.
Their bread of life, alas 10 more their own.
Into its throws shall we ali be cast,
In the sure faith that shall rise again
At the great harvest, when the Archangel's blast
Shall wiuuow. like Il fan, the chaff and grain.
Then shall the good stand in immortal bloom
In the fair gardens Of that second birth;
And each bright blossom mingle its perfume
With that Of flowers which never bloomed on
earth.
With thy rude plowshare, Death, turn mp the sod
And spread the fnrrow for the seed we sow;
This IS the field a nj acre OF our God
This is the place where human harvests grow
