Alexander II. stephens, vice presi-
dent of the Southern Confcderncy,
who after the Civil war vas repeated
~ elected to congress from Georgia,
WINS an exceedingly thin man. One day
there fell under his observation n news
paper item saying that he weighed 80
pounds. In reply to this he wrote n
letter to the editor Of the offending
journal demanding an immediate re-
traction. 81 will not be s%landered In
this manner" he protested. my
weight Is 81 pounds" The former vice
president was himself nm editor, with
n habit OF writing very long articles for
his paper In Georgia, and the coptem-
porary which had made the unwelcome
statement regarding his weight refused
TO retract It for the reason, he said,
that "Mr. Stephens must have had one
Of his editorials In his pocket when
he last tried the scales. This would
account for the difference OF four
pounds between the two figures"

Life of Retailer Threatened by
Trade Acceptance; Says Nusbaum

Lee B. Nusbaum of the Lee B. Nus
baum Company, was one Of the speak
ers on trade acceptances at the annual
convention of the Indiana Retail Dry
Goods Association at the Claypool
Hotel in Indianapolis Tuesday. The
discussion on trade acceptances was
one of the most interesting and in
formative of the session. The associa-
ton passed resolution approving Mr..
Nusbaum's paper. Mr.. Nusbaum said
in part:
ITO my mind there are four and only
four parties that are interested in the
proposition-the banker, the manufac-
turer, the jobber and the retailer.
There is no question in my mind
how it will affect the first three named,
but try as l will. l can not see how
this new plan will better the condi-
ton of the retailer. The methods of
doing business are continually chang
ing, and it behooves us retail mer-
chants to be on our guard. To GER
tain extent, is not this the case today ?
