others!

Cheating a thousand persons out of
meat is regarded as a trifie. Cheating
your Uncle Samuel out of a nickel is
a penitentiary job. Why such a big
difference?
L read in the paper that n store
keeper who hnbitually swindIed his
customers by short weight has been

Now the pump is no longer the most
