Making Il Measure Down.

In these days when only the rich
criminal or suspect is accorded much
space in the newspapers II may be a
relief to the predatory rich to have the
fact recalled that the blessed middle
class may also produce dishonesty. A
policeman tells this story:
Before reformed and went on the
force ! was clerking in q small store
One day an Italian woman came in.
She held . string in her hand, . Ions
string. and said that she wanted q
blanket Of the same length. went
through our stock and found that the
longest blanket we had was Ok inches
too short. In Ne midst OF my search
the boss came up.
whats the natter he said.
II told him.
"'That's easy said he. III talk to
her and keep her busy while you Cot
on the string"
The honest copper swears that he
would not be an active party to such
q trick, but whatever was done the
woman soon left the store with a
blanket and string Of equal length
