It is in the shape of a child
with a natural bustle.
The hump on the child is not
very large but it can be moved
and closed up like one of these
patented spring bustles. The fa
ther of the child says that if any
one doubts tne statement, they can
come and investigate the matter
for themselves.
The Times’s informant says that
he heard several reliable persons
say that it cannot be doubted
and that it is not just a hump, but
its shape, size and measurements
are those of a Rustle.
Now, as children are being born
with these articles of necessity on
them, it is presumable that they
will go out of fashion, or that the
future generation of people will not
be forced to spend their cash for
them, and will have more money
to spend for beer. Hurrah for the
latest money-saying enterprise!
