CATCHING A TARTAR.—On Saturday evening last,
a certain butcher in this town, not better known for
the whiteness of his apron and the general goodness of
his meat than for the high price which he usually de-
mands, was standing in his shop, when a man in a
smock-frock accosted him with " Can you cut me a
beef-steak ?" " Yes," replied the man of suet. The
man then turned over the various joints, and after ask-
ing the price of this and that, the butcher felt his dig-
nity rather insulted by the smock-frock gent., and sig-
nificantly said—" Why don't you buy all in the shop?"
and gave a wink at his boy. " What ?" saysthe other.
" Wh v," repeated the. butcher. "don't you buy all in the
shop ?" " Well," replied the man, " what do you
want for it?' The butcher said with a sneer, " you
shall clear • the lot for five pounds !" " Agreed,"
said the other, and lifting up his smock frock, pro.
duced a canvass bag from his pocket, counted out five
sovereigns, and emptied the shop of all the meat it
contained, including two gammons of bacon, and the
contents of the suet drawer, to the amazement of the
butcher and the no less satisfaction of the man, who
conveyed away upwards of ten pounds worth of meat,
which he afterwards disposed of at from 2id. to 4d. a
pound amongst the "mobility" who wish they may
have many more such chances of purchasing good
meat at a low price.— Wiltshire Independent.
