The Dell of q Trick.

It wasn't Missouri editor, but a
printers devil who was going
through his first experience on "mak-
ing up" forms. The paper was late
and the boy got the galleys mixed.
The first part of the obituary of a
prominent citizen had been dumped
in the forms and the next handful OF
type came off a galley describing a
recent fire. 1t read like this: 1.-The
pallbearers lowered the body to the
grave and as it was consigned to
the grave there were few if any re-
grets, for the old wreck had been an
eyesore to the town for years. OF
course there was individual loss, but
that was fully covered by insurance. .

sorrows owed him five years sub

New Western Ideas i'm Selling.

Some of the largest grocery stores
in Southern California have adopted
the system of quoting regular prices
on their goods, with a reduction of
5 per cent. for cash, if there is no
delivery. This separation of the
price of merchandise from the cost
of service has been widely discussed
in the trade throughout the country,
but in only few cities have the
dealers begun to make the distinc-
ton. The California dealers adver-
tise the regular prices, with a sepa-
rate column for the price after the
reductions have been made. The
difference is enough to tempt many
buyers to pay cash and carry bundles
