From different parti of the country
come stories of a swindle successfully
worked on farmers who thought they
were going to get cheap grocenes. Two
smooth strangers went through the
communities taking orders for a house
in Chicago, pretending to sell a stand
ard brand of sugar and flour so cheaply
that every farmer visited took from 110
to SUO worth, and other things besides.
Because of the low prices the flour and
sugar had to be ‘‘paid in advance.'* It
is alleged that in one community the
swindlers picked up some <3,000 and no
groceries delivered.

That Sinful Printer.
Unobserved and unannounced the
president of a Church society entered
the composing room just in time to
hear these words issue from the mouth
of the boss printer:
“Billy, go to the devil and tell him to
finish that ‘murder’ he began this
mprning. Then ‘kill William J. Bry
an’s Youngest Grandchild,’ and dump
the ‘Sweet Angel of Mercy’ into the
hellbox. Then make up that ‘Naughty
Parisian Actress’ and lock up ‘The
Lady in Her Boudoir’.’’
■ Horrified the good woman fled from
that place of sin, and now her children
wonder why they are not allowed to
play with the printer’s youngster.
