WHY THE GOODS WERE SO HIGH

An old woman once asked in a dry
goods store to be shown some silk.
\ young clerk showed her some, say.
ing: I'VE "a do this for you at $3.50
a yard" The woman asked for some
thing better, but the clerk replied
that they had nothing better. Where
upon the proprietor came forward and
said:
you must excuse my assistant,
madam; he is new to the business.
Here, madam, is a superior article,
$3.50 a yard. If it were not for the
fact that | bought it some time ago
we should have to charge you s3.75.
for, as you are doubtless aware, ow-
ing to the recent epidemic among the
silkworms, the price of silk has in.
creased enormously of late The Gus
toner took the silk. A few days later
the same old woman came in and
asked for some tape. The clerk said
glibly:
Here is some that we can let you
have at 16 cents the dozen yards. II
it wasn't for the fact that we have
had it in stock some time we should
have to charge 25 cents. for, as yon
are doubtless aware, owing to the re-
cent epidemic among the tape
worms, the price of tape has gone
up enormously" 1t was then she hit
