FRIENDS FALL OUT AND FIGHT
ABOUT MONEY FOUND IN SACK
Understanding About Division of Expenses
Did Not Extend to Division
of Prize For Purchaser.
8ome one said (hat tne love of money
Was the root of all evil. It may be. but
everybody seems to be looking for a
sprig. It Is recorded that effort a have
been made to do a bit of grafting In
this growing of the financial tree. Be
that as It may, however, a story was
unearthed recently at a local grocery
store which has 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 In
there Is likely to lie discord, resulting
In personal differences between two
well-regulated families.
And It was the almighty dollar—Just
one of them—that caused the trouble.
Intemperate words filled the air for a
time, and then, losing entire control of
their ordinary sweet tempers, two
women clinched, pulled hair and
scratched at eyes In a manner to make
the neighbors sit up and take notice
and give them something to talk ubout
for many a day to come.
Then, when two honest, hard work
ing, loving husbands reached home that
night there waa more discussion, re
sulting in a four-comersd, knock-down-
an4-drag-out scrap, which wended Its
way Into the police court, where the
belligerents were told to go their way
In peace, but refrain in future from the
use of fists and finger nails.
It all came about through the plan
of a local wholesale grocery company
to advertise a brand of flour which was
called "Money Flour." A coin, ranging
In value from ft cents to $1, waa placed
by
In every sack. A 24-pound sack of
the flour sells for about 76 cents. If
you happen to get the sack containing
the dollar you not only got your flour
for nothing, but make 30 cents on tbs
deal.
This information was Imparted
the wholesale grocer to the retail gro
rers, and "Money Flour” commenced to
have a big sale.
Now, it chanced that one of the re
toilers 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 nil
h'rtisetiold purchases. It was under
stood perfectly that the expense was to
be shared half and half.
But at the time .this agreement was
entered into neither cf the famlltos had
any Idea that, like Joseph’s brothers
of old, they would be finding the pur-
chsse money In the mouth of the
sack. Ho when one good housewife
went to the corner grocery and pur
chased ii sack of "Money Flour," she
ussuined 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
munlcated 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 ungry 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."
