The Condensed Trousers.

An editor in Chicago last week order.
ed pair ofnew trowsers from the tailor.
On trying them on they proved to be
several inches too long. 1t being late on
Saturday night, the tailor's shop was
closed and the editor took the trowsers
| to his wife and asked her to cut them off
and hem them over. The GOOD lady
whose cucumbers or melons had per-
maps disagreed with her, brusquely re-
fused. The same result followed an an
pllcatlon to the wife's sister and the
eldest daughter. But before bedtime
the wife relenting, took the. pants, and
cutting off six inches from the legs hem
med them nicely and restored them to
the closet. Half an hour later the
daughter taken with compunetion for
ier unfiiial conduct, took the trowsers
and cuttingoff six inches from the legs,
hemmed and replaced them. Finally
the sister-in-law felt the pangs of con-
science, and she too performed an addi-
tional surgical operation on the gar
ment. When the editor appeared at
breakfaston Sunday, the family thought
a highland chieftain had arrived, for
the trousers reached only to the middle
OF his thigh.
