woman who traded in groceries and
got involved in complicated busi-

A customer came in one day and
said, "Old woman, nlist do you ask
for hcrring?'
"Thrcc cents apiece" said the old
lady.
"I'll take one" said the customer;
ard the aged yendsr proceeded to
do itup.
"What do you ask for beerf' said
the customer, as the parcel was
handed him.
"Three cents glass; said she.
"0n the whole" said he, "I'll
take glass of beer instead Of the
herring So he took the beer and
started to go,
"Beg your pardon" said the old
lady," but you havn't paid for the
beer"
"Paid for it. OF course not.

"Well, but" persisted the old la
