Glass Houses and Stones.
A Marquette grocer suspected a busi ness rival of indulging in a short weight, and to verify his suspicions sent to the store for a dollar’s worth at sugar. Grocer No. 2 was not born last season, and while the messenger was awaiting he sent a friend around to hit fellow-dealer’s store, got a dollar’! worth of sugar and passed it off as com ing from the store. Grocer No. 1 half the sugar weighea, found it was short and set up a tremendous howl, but since the rival had proven that the sugar came from the other’s store the dense., dark silence has become painful.—Penn sylvania Grocer.
