Why the Price Went un.

A dry goods merchant, observing a
junior assistant disputing with a Gus.
toner about the price of some silk
she wished to purchase, stepped I'D to
the combatants, and after a wordy
tussle succeeded in obtaining a high
err price for twenty yards than the
goods were marked. His method of
persuasion was based on the state
ment that, owing to the disease among
silkworms, prices we're rapidly ad-
vancing. He then administered a
homily to the assistant on the neces-
sity Of using his brains and exercis-
ing ingenuity in making sales.
The next day the same merchant
had to rescue the same assistant from
the clutches Of an old lady who was
belaboring him with her bingham"
parasol.
