of government for Ocean Grove was distinct per

Among farmers, while competition
has, of course, existed, it has rarely
been of so exigent a nature, writes
e. M Chapman in Yale Review.
Their produce has generally had so
wide a market that the individual has
found little need or chance TO make
a price, except for commodities of a
quality higher than the standard;
and in the great majority of small
farm products, no very definite stan
dard can be said to have existed. Nor
have the farmers as class been Curl

their own operations. 1t is the excep-
ton rather than the rule to find a.

nroach TO exactness the real profit or
loss involved in raising and market

Is not likely to show any very keen
interest either in the discussion OF

Yet, In the city of Rochester, ac-
cording to f. Fl. Allen, an independ-

that while the railway transportation

one-half cent a quart per 100 miles,
the distribution to the consumer in
the city costs 1-5 cents quart
When we ask the cause of this dis
crepancy, it appears that In this final

safely home.
Sometimes people write stories and
have no sooner posted them than
they think of something so much bet
ter to write about that they wish they
could smash the mailbox and can
scarcely wait until their manuscript
is returned. At other times an au-
thor remembers after he has sent in
a story that he has left a split infin-
Tive in the last paragraph. OF course,
the editor may never get to the last
paragraph, but the author fears that
there may have been another split
infinitive In the very title. often he
remembers that he forgot to put in
the most original and important idea
he had. and he prays that the editor
will not be foolish enough to print
the thing that he has written
Getting back a manuscript is more
satisfactory in every way than send
ing it away-it is so much safer.
Some of us are so glad to get 1t back
that we rush to the furnace with 1t
and poke until the last letter is
burned. Some of us lay 1t gently
away in the bottom OF the dresser
drawer. Editors are kind. II 1t were
not for our confidence in the gener-
osity and wisdom of the editors we
should never dare to be authors.

If you never were foolish enough to
write a story and send 1t to a publish
er, you never have experienced one
of the great joys of authorship
JOY of receiving a rejected manu-
script, says the Indianapolis News.
1t is very probable that you have been
as foolish as the rest of us and have
been compensated by the return mail
1t is equally probable, of course, that
you have never known the other
great joy of authorship-the JOY of
selling a story-but the joy of getting
a manuscript back is, in itself, worth
all the trouble of writing 1t.
1t was such a wee thing that you
regretted having sent 1t away. Per
haps you could imagine it in print,
begging ii to be noticed, and finally
being ignored and forgotten, and you
realized that it had been better to
have kept it at home or perhaps
never to have written it than to have
endangered it to the possibilities of
publication. Naturally you received
it on its return with considerably
more relief than regret.
Perhaps you were actually rather
ashamed of 1t and feared after you
sent it away that you might some
time have to acknowledge it before
your neighbors. Perhaps you had
written it about your neighbors and
realized that if it came out in mag

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Lawyer Who Wanted the Payment of His Fee Postponed

lone of the strangest things which
banker of long experience meets
with is the curious, childlike sim
plicity which characterizes so many
men OF great intellectual power, espe-
cially lawyers, in dealing with money
matters" said Asa Potter-who was
formerly banker of large experience
in Boston-to me recently.
''I remember perfectly we'll when
was just beginning my career as a
banker hearing Boston men speak
of the strange incapaclty of both
Rufus Choate and Daniel Webster
when it came to handling their per-
sonal money affairs. Choate never
knew how he stood. He was per-
fectly content if his clerk told him
he had a balance In the bank. Yet
he was wonderfully skillful in an
alyzing the accounts Of his clients
II those accounts related to some law
case.
81 recall very interesting incident
of that kind associated with the late
Walbridge A. Field. He was esteemed
as one of the ablest members of the
Boston bar at time when that bar
contained lawyers of national reputa-
ton, including, among others, Benja-
min R. Curtis, who was for a time
a member of the United States Su-
preme Court bench.
MIR. Fields became a member of
the Supreme Court bench of Massa-
chusetts in the late '70's. and his ap-
pointment as judge of that high
court was spoken of by lawyers as
in the highest degree satisfactory
yet, when 1t came to personal
money matters, Mr.. Field was as
curiously inefficient as was Webster
or Choate. He was, however, always
careful not to incur any obligations,
and he used to say that he regarded
with horror the idea of being in debt.
II think it was about the time Mr..
Field was elected to Congress from
one of the Boston districts that he
