FRIENDS FALL OUT AND FIGHT
ABOUT MONEY FOUND IN SACK
Understanding About Division of Expenses
Did Not Extend to Division
of Prize For Purchaser.
Snma one Mid that the love of money
•u the root of all evil. It may be, but
everybody eeema to be looking for a
■prig. It la recorded that effort! have
been made to do a bit of grafting In
thla growing of the financial tree. Be
that aa It may. however, a atory was
unearthed recently at a local grocery
afore which ha» all the earmarks of
being unique In Its exposition of the
grasping spirit, with particular refer
ence to money. It goes to disprove the
statement that chickens and children
will not mix, but demonstrates that
when the almighty dollar enters lit
there Is likely to lie discord, resulting
In personal differences betweeh two
well-regulated families.
And It Was the almighty dollar—Just
one of them—that caused the trouble.
Intemperate words filled the air for u
time, and then, losing entire control of
their ordinary sweet tempers, two
•women clinched, pulled hnlr and
scratched at eyes In a manner to make
the neighbors alt up and take notice
and give them something to talk about
for many a day to come.
Then, when two honest, hard work
ing, loving husbands reached home that
night there was more discussion, re
sulting in a four-cornered, knock-down-
und-drag-out scrap, which wended Its
way Into the police court, where the
belligerents were told to go tlielr way
In peace, but refrain In future from the
use of flats and finger nails.
It all came about through the plan
of a local wholeMle grocery company
to advertise a brand of flour which was
called "Money Flour.” A coin, ranging
In value from 6 cents to tl, was placed
In every sack. A 24-pound sack of
the flour sells for about 70 cents. If
you happen to get the sack containing
ihe iloll/ir you not only got your Hour
for nothing, but make 30 rents on the
deal.
This Information was Imparted by
the wholesale grocer to the retail gro'
corn, and "Money Flour” commenced to
have a big sale. m
Now, If chanced that one of the re
tailers operated a store In the neigh
borhood where two families lived In
one house In happiness and domestic
serenity. They divided the expenses of
rent, of gas, of water, of fuel, of all
household purchases. It was under
stood perfectly that the expense was to
be shared half and half.
But at the time thla agreement was
entered Into neither tf the families had
any Idea that, like Joseph's brothers
of old, they would be finding tbe pur
chase money In the mouth of the
sack. Ho when one good hoifsewlfe
went to the corner grocery and pur
chased a sack of "Money Flour," she
assumed that the big. round, bright
new silver dollar which rolled out be
longed to her, even though her co
resident was obligated to pay half the
purchase price.
But when this Information was com
municated to the co-resident, the co
resident demurred. That precipitated
the difference which resulted In the
pulling of hair and scratching of eyes,
and later In the use by angry men of
muscular fists.
The neighbors heard all about It—
neighbors always do—and now the cor
ner grocer has difficulty In keeping
"Money Flour."

For the past season the trend of millinery has been toward the
“Empire.”
Now it seems to have reached the climax.
The Empire period has burst upon us with all the revived splendor
of a century ago. ,
The National G-allerv, the Louvre, the Luxembourg, the Palace of
Versailles—all Europe has been made to give back the styles of those days
immortalized by Sir Joshua Reynolds, Gainsboro, Morland, Watteau and
Laurence.
Our representatives have gone direct to' the fountain heads of style;
the inspiration ot Paris and Loudon; studied the effects, the lines and the
color schemes of the Period and have brought them back and modernized
them here for you.
Above we picture one of the newest creations.
