In front of a junk shop he read this sign, “Five cents a hun- dred for bones.” He collected four hundred and five bones, of various sizes, the total weight of which was 2& pounds, When he had dragged them down to the junk-shop in his little red cart he received three cents from the generous junk-man, but turned away with his heart filled with bitterness, From that moment on commercial transactions were re- volting to him and all persons in trade are viewed with suspicion. eee The American Beet Sugar Co.'s profits increased 102 per cent last year. ‘The reason for the big in- crease was that the company sold sugar at such low prices.
