All Comes Even in the End.

“One hundred doses for £l,” is the way a patent medicine heads its “ad.” Man takes sl. worth. Then: the undertaker comes along and it costs the man SIOO for one dose. Thus we see all things come- around even in this old world, after all. When wheat is cheap flour is high, and when you can buy a Whole stall-fed ox for four cents a pound, beefsteak keeps right up to nineteen cents, with a close flavor of the horns at that. When the telephone company chops two holes through the roof of your house for nothing, it makes up for it by charging you fifty cents for telling the coal man to bring you twelve tons of hard coal when you only tried to order three quarts of ice cream from the confectioner’s. Oh, it’s aIL right. At least “is” is, and whatever is, is right— R. J. Burdette. The distance from Chicago to the sun has been figured down to a moderately close certainty; but what is needed in hot weather a good deal more than nice precision in such, matters is a suspender that won't fade.
