TAKEN IN AND DONE FORA lew
weeks ago, young lady, whose "phee-
links" had been somewhat injured by a
cruel joke perpetrated by jovial and
witty Main street dry goods merchant,
determined to have revenge and place
herself ION the square with him
"Wher, a woman will, she will" is an old
adage, and the present instance verified
it's aptness Being in the 1gentieman's
store a few days after the circumstance
alluded to occurred, she secreted bolt OF
calico under her cloak, aud took it to her
home, where she kept it until several
days ago, when she sent word to the dry
goods merchant that she had bolt OF
calico which she desired to dispose OF at
a low figure. The man lost no time in
calling on her ladyship, and, upon being
shown the calico, he put on rather a
pat-ronizing air and declared the calico
WAS of a somewhat inferior brand, but
that he would take it at certain hgure
uamed-about one-half the actual value
of the cloth. However, upon eonsidora'
ton and investigation. bargain was
struck, the money paid over. and the
| clotL taken to the store where it had pre-
viously lain for several months. The
Joke was kept profound secret until a
day or two ago, when the whole affair
was ventilated, much to the chagrin OF
the aforesaid witty dry goods merchant
