The fruit dealer ‘does not care to quarrel with a customer or friend over a banana. or a few berries. Yet in the aggregate the fruit lost by a large dealer through this petty pilfering makes a considerable item, and is one of two chief reasons ior the unremunerativc- ness of the fruit business, the other being the large amount of waste. And thus dealers are compelled to stand by and see their profit eaten up by customers who with the coolest impudence consumed fruit which they. have no ides of paying for, before the eyes of the owner, mean- while chatting etfsbl).

This is our solid conclusion after years of experience in the editorial chair. Time and again, when the creations of our brain have been palpitating and clashing for an exit, and our pen has been coursing,r from one edge of the sheet to the other, someone, apparently void of all consideratfon, has interrupted us with the offer 0t his subscription fee or a bank note for job printing. And this sort of conduct we have borne with patience for years and years without making any kind of complaint ; but, as there are no signs of its abatement, we must at last utter our strongest protest against it. We hope, then, that all sinners in this regard will note what we have said, anu pester us no more with offers of money, at least.

As the fish took the bait it jumped several feet out of the water and the excursionists gathered to the star- board side of the steamer to see the ar- dent fisherman land it. They were deemed to disappointment. however. He attempted to drown his prize, but the lunge would not have it that way, and a moment later the Crandella’s passengers saw the hook drawn inâ€"empty !
