oINDERS SOLD AS SUGAR.
Chicago Grocerymen Tricked by
Three Smooth swindlerA

Chicago, March 11.-Stocllyards gro
Gerry men made some great bargains in
sugar Saturday. At the same time they
made some interesting and valuable dis
coveries. That is. the discoveries were
valuable to the men who sold the sugar
Dealers who had known for years that
sand and sugar may mix fairly well
never knew until yesterday that cinders,
coal clinkers and ashes make good sub
stitute for the sweet stuff.
During the afternoon three personable
young men were busy in the district
They drove sugar barrels loaded on a.
and piled their trade for hours A crack
in one of the barrel heads allowed guam
titles of real white sugar to roll gently
and seductively out upon the floor Of the
wagon. The other barrels were sealed
as tight as drumheads. The uniform
price per barrel was $3.50, or SIS Tor two
barrels. 720 pounds One of the three
agents was well dressed, business look
ing sort of a fellow, VINO explained that
he represented a South Water street
commission house with an oversupply OF
sugar on hand We don't want to pay
storage on it longer and there's more
coming in That's why the firm Is max
ing a cut on the price
Matters were faring nicely with the
trio until along late in the afternoon
Only two barrels remained unsold. The
men drove up in front Of Anton No
votny's grocery, 1880 F'iftieth street.
New. we don't want to take this stun
back to the store,'' the bright young man
was arguing. only two barrels left, and
Il you want them for SIS the sugar is
yours
While these things were developing
Lieutenant Bohne and Detective Farrell
had been following the trail Of the
sugar agents. They suspected that all
was not right Sugar selling so cheap.
they argued, scented of theft.
And with these thoughts in their minds
they came upon the truck and the bar
rels- Farrell engaged the apron-covered
man outside while Bohne entered the
store as a prospective purchaser OF
sugar.
Novotny was just saying. "All right,
bring 'em in, I'll take 'em at $25." and
was reaching in the cash drawer for the
money.
Never mind. Anton said the de-
tective. I'm just out OF sugar myself.
and I'll take this stock off your hands.
The gentleman with the overalls rode
behind on one of the sugar barrels
with Detective Farrell as they wended
their way towards the police station
At the station the sergeant got an ak
and smashed one of the barrel heads
Out rolled the cinderss and the mystery
of the "StOlen sugar. was solved.

masculine gusto that left nothing to the
imagination. How to Put on COrSetS.

sound strange for a man to stand here
and tell you how to put on your cOrSetS,
but that is what I Intend to do. .
The Daisies looked pink and reproach-
