Kvcry act of public lile is generally tcnuucti iiy soine on the outside lor graft. The most prone to yell graft are the idler and the loafer, whose chance for grafting are exceeding small and his desire great. Graft has always been in the world and always will. When the doctor feels your sluggish pulse gazes upon your sickly tongue and cuargus you ts.oo inereior uiai is Kraft. When the druggist charges you .jo cents for a prescription that cost him 2& cents to fill that is graft. When the preacher accepts Kto lor marrying you to the deltid cd lady of your choice - that is graft. When the butcher adds the weight of his thumb to the meat you are buying that is graft. When the grocer sells you four pounds of sugar for five that is Kraft. When the plumber charges you six bits an hour for the use of his helper and pays said helper but 35 cents ol same that is Krft v lien me twiner cuargus you live cents for scrapiiiR the nape? of your neck that is graft. When the lawyer charges $5.00 for ten cents worth of advice that is graft When the farmer puts all the large potatoes on top of the sack making you believe they are the same all the way through that is graft. w lien tue restaurateur sells you a plate ot potatoes that some one else purchased and ate only a portion of that is graft. When a real es tate matt gets you to list your prop- hrry no weight.

"The Devil and Ills Angels" is the same lecture for which Mr. Gregg has received $50.00 n night from chautatiuua associations.
