Didn't MAKE A CENr.-An unknown "a an
entered hosiery store on Woodward ave-
nue. yes terday and asked to be shown ga
few socks" When he learned the price per
pair OF wollen ones he put them aside and
said:
al guess I'll keep on wearing cotton ones.
They say You wear 'em right along through
the winter your feet don't get cold"
Some cotton socks were handed out, and
he persuaded the dealer to drop from 20 to Is
cents per pair. Then he said:
81 can buy the same kind as these In
Toledo for 10 cents"
"It doesn't seem possible" replied the
dealer. "Win You swear to it?''
81 will. I'll make affidavit to the fact"
The dealer todd him TO 60 around TO a jus-
uce, make the affidavit, and he should then
have four pairs at 10 cents q pair The
stranger was as good as his word, and he
chuckled and cracked over his shrewdness
until the document was made out and he
had been sworn. Then the justice rem arked,
GA dollar IL the fee."
Something came over the stranger about
that date. His knees wobbled q little
and he swallowed as IL something chok-
ed him. BE handed over the dollar, walked
out, and the four pair OF socks are still left
on the shelf II the shrewd chap made any
remarks to himself, he probably whispered:
"Virtue IL its own reward, and you are $50
pounds OF fools!"1t Detroit Free Press.
