foot is a new idea, the offspring of Mil
waukee girls brain. The young lady,
who was on a marketing expedition,
desired to purchase some berries where
with TO add zest to her evening repast,
but she wouldn't trust the fraudful little
boxes which the grocers with pleasing
fiction called quarts She wanted full
scriptural measure, and proposed TO the
dealer to adopt her shoe as the standard
OF quantity. Visions Of Cinderella
fioated through the huckster's brain, and
in a moment Of forgetfulness, the de-
luded man accepted the proposition.
OF came the shoe and in went the berries.
Box followed box, until the dealer. With
sadness in bis eyes and half his stock in
the girls shoe, gently waved hispurchas-
er away and closed up bis shop.
