"It's butter, madame, and the very best," said tho grocor. "Sure it ain't oleomargarine?" "Perfectly so. I'll warrant it." The woman turned to go, when the grocer asked: "Won't you try a few pounds?" "No, I dont want none. I wactt soma oleomargarino. " "I have that, too," said the dealer, "put up in boxes and labeled." "How much is that a pound?" "Eighteen cents." "That won't do. I want to pay just as mnch f or it as butter Ís worth." "You can do that if you want to; I ain't sayin' a word, am I?" said the man. "But why do you want to?" "Well, you see, I've been givin' my boarders the bost butter, an' they guy me an' calJ it oleo. I vow it's butter, an' they won't believe me. Nbw I want to get some oleo an' tell 'em wiat it is. Theyll think I lie an' eat it for butter. But I don't wantto make a cent out of it. I'm an honest woman.'
