He gives entirely too much to the

enough about his market-the mar

about ways OF tempting them to part
with larger sums In exchange for
wares he has taken the pains to
make attractive as well as useful
The farmer is no longer an isola-
ted person, except as he persists In
the old ways and isolates himself.
He ought to get into closer touch

they ought to plan to produce fine
products In cooperation.

and sometimes with rather odd re-

low, yielded to the solicitations OF an

The farmer was in despair; he had
received his 500 francs, and, like the
Irishman, had squandered his for
tune In paying his debts. The com
missioner used comfortable words:
"You have sold the windows and he
has paid to you money which yon
have prudently spent. Be content"
But the buyer was not equally con-

sioner, who blandly congratulated
him on having become the owner OF
the windows, which, however, he
could not remove. Shylock's pound
