Inflated Price..

Hall Game is bringing out a fifty cent
book in London in order to prove that
It would pay the publishers better to is
sue new books at that price instead of
at the usual SLIP.

On his last visit here he insisted that
the present price, in view Of the cheap
ness of modern publishing methods,
was too high. He said that the pub
fishers were like the druggists.
"And he illustrated his meaning With
a story.
There Was a druggist in a certain
town who was famous for an ointment
of his own manufacture. He sold this
ointment al s1.05 a box. A customer
came to him one day, took q box Of the
ointment "nd asked if .he wouldn't
throw off the odd money for a poor
man.
"'Well,' said the druggist, you look
like a deserving case, so l will
The customer grabbed up the oint-
ment, threw down a nickel and bolted.
"'The dollars the odd money I
meant HI explained hastily as he shot
out of the door.
THE DRUGGIST rushed out just in time
to see him turning the corner

I've made 8 cents out of you as 1t u.s."
