THE POUND OF FLESH.
Pestered by the ever-advancing cost of living and determined to exercise a protective vigilance in the future, the customer picked up a knife from the counter and handed it to the butcher with a friendly smile. " I don't really want it," he said, "but if you will cut it off I will take it along with the rest." "Cut what off ?" demanded the butcher i a blank surprise. "Your hand," was Lhe gentle reply. " You weighed it in with the sausages, and I like to get what I pay for."
