All in the Sign.

A dear old lady who was shopping at a great bargain sale had the misfortune to be struck on the head by a piece of plaster falling from the ceiling. She was just beginning to talk about damages for the injury she had received, when, with admirable presence of mind, the manager led her outside, and. pointing to a large notice, said : “Excuse me, madam, but if you will read that you will see we distinctly warned our customers of what to expect.” Looking up, the old lady read: NOTJCE. j / THESE PREMISES ARE COMING • DOWN!" and took her departure, perfectly satisfled that she had no legal remedy.— Passing Show. «
