him for that purpose, Offutt attacked the
officer with the club, dealing him a heavy
blow on the arm. Selby went in search OF
assistance. which he found in the person Of
Deputy Sheriff William E. Viett. Offutt
was soon. located and Deputy Selby, CATCH
ing him off his guard, suddenly grabbed
him and held him while the other officer
handcutfed him. He was taken before JUS
tice OF the Peace Brewer. who commit ed
him to Jail as an insane pauper. Before
being taken into custody Offutt attacked
and killed a valuable pointer puppy be-
longing to George w. Meads.

THE SUBSTITUTION FRAUD.
I'VE Give You Just What You Ask
EorH

Outside of a prominent drug store in
New York hangs card bearing the words
above quoted. Taking them as a text the
Journal of that city makes some pertinent
comments on the too common practice of
substitution. 1t says: One business man
devotes all his energy. his money and his
time to building up the reputation of
certain article. He enables the retailer to
make large profit. and he spends his
money that customers may be plentiful.
When a customer asks for the article in
question it is dishonest to say to him. as
many do: Don't buy that We have some
thing else just as good. and much cheaper.
Ii the merchant has something good ana
cheap of his owa, let him sell 1t TO MS
customers by all means But let him not
steal the trade Of a man whose energy
helps to build up his business Let him
not divert 70 his own pocket all of the
profit which he ought to in honesty share
with another. There are wares that are
made enormously profitable to the retailer
simply because men push their business
with intelligence and perseverance 1t is
ungrateful as well as dishonest for the sake
OF little extra profit to cut into the legit-
innate business of the advertising manufac-
turer.
incidentally the public. as well as the
Storokeeper and the manufacturer, are in
tercsted in this question of substituting one
article for another. That which is represent
ed as ''just as good is usually not just as
good. but very far from it. If a man has
spent a million dollars building up the
reputation of certain article, it is to his
advantage to keep up the quality of the ma
terial which enters into the manufacture
of that article. His profit is large If he Is
honestly treated, and it would be suicide
for him to use inferior material for the
sake of little extra money.
The man who makes up an imitation ar
tcle and announces 1T as "just as good
has no such sum at stake. He has invested
nothing He has no valuable name to ruin.
and 1t is to his interest to make the Just
as good article just as cheap as he can
make it.
The buyer should remember these facts
and put his confidence in that retailer who.
like the man quoted at the head of this
article. gives to the customer just what he
asks for, treats the wholesaler honestly,
and shows gratitude for the energy which
builds up successful business and makes
the retailer prosperous
