talking with Woodward avenue grocer
the other morning. "Well. they seldom
want. 10 pay the prices. 1t seems ma
tural for them to want to beat down the
figures. There comes one now who
probably wants strawberries. Here are
some fresh ones at fifteen cents per
quart, and yet II / should ask her only
eleven she'd want 'em for ten" Say,
try it on, just for joke. If she asks
the price, put 1t at eleven" The grocer
agreed, and presently the woman came
up. counted the sixteen boxes Of berries
under her nose, and Of course inquired:
''flave you any Strawberries this morn.

"Yss'm." 'Tn quart boxes I" "Yes'm. f"
''How much I" "Only eleven cents per
hex, madam" "l'll take the whole lot, "
chs quietly observed. as she handed ont

The citizen disappeared at that moment,
and the grover somewhat believes it was
