Exact Measurement.

Gov. Hoch, of Kansas, tells a good
story on a friend of his in Topeka,
who recently became engaged to a
charming young girl.
This happy young lover CHANGED
to be in one of the department stores
of that town when his eye caught
glimpse of a jeweled belt that he
thought his fiancee would like to have.
Going over to the counter he asked the
saleswoman to place an assortment of
them on the counters so he could
make better choice.
What size do you wish. sir?" she
asked.
THE prospective bridegroom blush
ed and stammered:
Really, | don't know
"He gazed around the store for a
few seconds. Finally he said:
Can you let me have yardstick
for a moment?'
"The saleswoman went and got him
a yardstick and he placed 1t on the in
side of his arm from the shoulder to
the wrist, and in a few moments he
exclaimed, triumphantly, to the sur
prised saleswoman:
Twenty inches, Please"
