SOME BALTUsRoL HAZARDS.

deciding Just what club should be used. Some
times a mid-iron is sufficient, while on other

vantage of her little girl whom she

rying a piece of meat the size of her

crowd that had instantly hushed when
she entered, she slapped the package
on the counter and looking the butcher
straight in the eye, she demanded:
Say, do you charge % cents for
that?'
The butcher, who had been some
what taken aback, gathered his wits
quickly, and with a single movement
of his hand showed out d crumpled bit
of paper that lay on the counter.
Here's your change, ma'am," he
said politely. 'She went away and
