An amusing tale comes from Konlgs-
berg. A Russian lady. while looking
at the goods in n certain shop, CHANGED
to see a Japanese saucer, which she
took up and flung to the ground, say.
ing: so may the cursed Japanese be
treated, The shop assistant quietly
picked up the pieces and. after wrap
ping them IN paper. handed them to
the lady, telling her that payment
was expected for them Much ex-
cited. the Russian once more flung
the china to the floor this time shout
ing: And so may the Germans be
treated" This was too much for the
patriotic German saleswoman to stand,
and she replied by dealing the lady a
smart box on the ear, saying: And
may the Russians ever thus be served"
Great excitement cnsued. and the
trade done by the shop has been much
increased bv the good Konigsberger's
