A CHICAGO EDITOR'S TROUSERS.
An editor in Chicago recently ordered a pair of trousers from the tailor. On trying them on they proved to bo .several inches too long. h being late on Saturday night the tailor's shop was closed, and the editor took tho trousers to his wife nnd asked her to cut them oft' and hand them over. The good lady, whose dinner had perhaps disagreed with her, brusquely refused. The same result followed an application to the wife's sister and the eldest daughter. But before bedtime the trife relenting took the pants, and cutting off six inches from the legs, hemmed them np nice and restored them to the closet. Half an hour later her daughter, taken with compnnction for her unfiliftl condnet, took the trousers, and cutting off six inches, hemmed and replaced them. Finally, the sister-in-law felt the joangfl of conscience, and ehe to, performed ti surgical operation on tho garment. When the editor appeared at breakfast on Sunday morning-, tho family thought a Highland chieftain had armed.—St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.
