Ancient But Good.
At a country fair a machine
which bore a sign reading, “How
To Make Your Trousers Last” oc¬
cupied a prominent position in the
grounds, and attracted much atten
tion. A countryman who stood
gaping before it was told by the
exhibitor, a person with a long
black mustache, a minstrel-stripe
shirt and a ninety-four karat dia¬
mond in a red cravat, that for one
cent deposited in the slot the ma¬
chine would dispense its valuable
saitorial advice. The countryman
dug the required coin from the
depths of a deep pocket and drop
ped it in the slot. Instantly the
machine delivered a card on which
was neatly printed:
t < Make your coat and waistcoat
first.”—Harper’s Weekly.
