A Grievance.

“It’s very depressing,” said the trust magnate, “to see how we are misunderstood.” “Are you surprised that you provoke criticism ?” “Not surprised, but grieved. It Is too much to expect human nature to be satisfied. We used to be blamed for our attacks on each other when we were rivals in trade. And now that we have settled down to divide profits in peace and friendship we don’t get a word of praise for It!”—Washington Star.
