CLASSEO As GIFT ENTERPRISE
GROCERS PROTEST AGAINST
USE OF TRADING STAMPS.
Corporation Counsel Preparing Test
Case and Matter May Be Set
tied in Court.

The Capitol Retail Grocers' Association
has sent to the Commissioners a copy
of resolution protesting against, the
use of trading stamps in the Dis
trist of Columbia, and the paper has
bee. referred to Corporation Counsel
Thomas, who has already in hand many
papers on the same subject and who is
working up a test case against one of the
most prominent concerns. Assistant Cor
poration Counsel White has prepared a
statement of facts in regard to the COM
pany which has been agreed to by the
attorney for the company.
Another grocers' association has been
interested in this matter. and has in
structed its attorney TO aid the District in
the collection of data and evidence, and
it is possible that the suit. which has
been in preparation for several months
will be tried in the District branch of
the Police Court before many days
Code Sections Prohibit.
The District code contains two sections
prohibiting certain gift enterprises. At
least two cases have been tried in the
Police Court, resulting adversely for the

of Appeals has sustained the decisions.

certain changes which their attorneys
believed would put them on the safe
side of the law. and if the suit in con-
temptation by the corporal on counsel is
tried it will involve the legality OF. these
changes.
Grocers' Contention.
one OF the srocers' associations wants
to prove that certain of the trading stamp
concerns refuse TO allow all merchants to
Use them. combining the premiums to spe-
cialls favored firms and stores.
The Capitol Retail Grocers Association
contends that the trading stamp scheme
works hardship on merchants who re-
fuse to buE the stamps or vouchers, their
patronage being enticed away ITO other
stores and it Is also declared the
consumer is deceived into the belief of
getting something for nothing, where, as
matter of fact, the merchant giving
those stamps or vouchers is compelled to
charge more for his wares in order to off
set the cost of those stamps and vouch-
ers."

"The sight Of wild canary bird In
Delta county the other week was not
an optical illusion. Flocks of ten to
fifty are still here. feeding upon grass

scarcity of snow on the ground are the
inevitable results OF agricultural dew

Is fostered and encouraged. With the

CHAPTER XIII.
Shadow and Lignt.

John Girdlestones private residence
in Eccleston square was large and
substantial house in a district which
the wave of fashion had passed over
in its westward course. 1t might
still, however, be said to be covered
by a deposit of eminent respectability.
The building was stern anu hard, and
massive in it's external appearance,
but the interior was luxury itself,
for the ola merchant, in spite of his
ascetic appearance, was inclined to be
a sybarite at heart, and had a due
appreciation of the good things of
this world. Indeed there was an ori-
entail and almost barbarous splendor
about the great rooms, where the
richest furniture was interspersed with
skins from the Gaboon, hand worked
ivory from Old Calabar, and the thous-
and other strange valuables when
were presented by his agents to the
African trader.
After the death of his friend cir
diestone had been as good az his
word. He had taken hate Harston
away from the desolate house at Full
ham and brought her to live with
him. From the garrets Of that paIa-
tial edifice TO the cellar she was at
liberty to roam where she would,
and do what she chose. The square
garden, too, with it's smoke-dried
trees and faded lawn, was at her dis
posal, in which she might walk, or
work, or read. No cares or RESPONSE
bilities were imposed upon her. The
domestic affairs we're superintended
by stern housekeeper, who bore a
quaint resemblance to Girdlestone
himself in petticoats, and who ar
ranged every detail of housekeeping.
The young girl had apparently only
to exist and TO be happy.
Yet the latter item was not SO easy
as it might seem. II was not a con-
genial atmosphere. Her whole socie-
ty consisted of the stern Unconditional
merchant and his vulgar, occasionally
brutal, son. At first while the mem
ory of her father was still fresh she
felt her few surroundings aeutely
