playing a joke upon few young men of their
acquaintance. They addressed polite and fine
ly word. notes to six of said gentlemen, ask
ing for an interview at certain hotel. At the
time appointed five of the victims appeared in
the parlor of the hotel named and began to
3'wat." The sixth one preferred to look on, SO
he posted himself in good position, out Of
sight of the others. At last his patience gave
out, and he burst into the room, and in polite
terms informed them that they had been
s'sold' Their feelings and looks can better be
imagined than expressed in print, but suffice it
to say that they earnestly desire to know the
projectors of the hoax.
