ROFF, who keeps the newsstand in the
POst-Office building, turns many an hon
est penny with root-beer fountain. The
fountain has two escapes, and at each Of
these he keeps glass standing to catch
the drippings. He noticed, recently, that
a couple of elderly men who lounged in
the POst-Of1ice in the evening drained
these glasses as soon as they were partly
filled. Great and mighty results fre-
quently grow out of slight causes. When
Rolf detected them an idea struck him.
Before setting the glasses the next time,
he dropped teaspoonful OF catarrh snuff
in each one. 1t was a new kind of snuff,
and Rolf was glad of the opportunity to
test it. He wasn't confident these men
had the catarrh, but that was really no
business of his Cit wasn't anything he
could help and, besides, science must be
attended to, so he entered upon the ex-
pertinent with all the hopefulness and
expectation of a young and ardent ma
ture.
About eight o'clock the old buffers
came around, and having listlessly
examined the periodicals, watched the
opportunity which Rolf was quivering to
give them, and raised the glasses hur-
riedly to their lips, and as
hurriedIy absorbed the contents.
Then they lounged about as
listlessly as before, for about two min
utes At the expiration Of that time, one
of the twain commenced to look sur
prised. The other man also looked as if
he had received unexpected intelligence.
Then their faces simultaneously appeared
griped, and the first man remarked,
80 o." and struck for the wall. Where
upon the second man made similar
statement, and also started for the same
destination. Rolf hurried after them
He didn't go out on the walk wncre they
were, because they didn't appear to
want to engage in any business, and
Roff had just put on clean linen suit;
So he stayed on the step, and watched
those aged people as they swayed on the
curb, and bombarded the gutter with root
beer, and catarrh snuff, and pieces of
liver and such things as were handy at
the time He hasn't seen them since.
He regrets this, as he wants to get their
certificate to put in circular.-Dan6ury
