Not Large Enough.

In response to an inquiry for courtplaster a Detroit druggist handed out a piece about six inches square and asked the boy if he thought that would do. “I dunno,” was the doubtful reply. “Who is it for?” “For father.” “Didn’t he say how large a piece?” “No; but I know that isn’t half enough. Ma hit him with the whole side of the wash-board at once, and that won’t begin to cover the clip.”
