An amusing incident happened ct a
farm, where the people were noted for
making very hard and unpa'atable
crusts to their pastry.
One day a tramp came TO the door and
begged for something 10 eat. He was
given a custard, with crust so hard
that IL lifted ont of the dish whole.
He was seen to go down the yard, and,
having devoured the contents, returned
shortly afterward with the crust, and
said:
