A MID SUMNER JoKE.-Various are
the modes adopted by those seeking en-
ployment at this season of the year, and
the impecunious unemployed jump at
new suggestion with all the vim OF q
monkey catching flies.
A case in point occurred in this city
few days ago. Two young men, BROTH
ers, recently arrived here from the in
terror to seek situations in some OF the
large business houses which give to our
city the we'll deserved appellatlon OF the
metropolis of the State. Their ideas. as
is nearly always the case under similar
circumstances, were liberal and exalted;
all they wanted was large salary,
work was no object. But after
several days of disappointment, and with
the coveted prize still beyond their resch'
their ideas and desires got down to the
lower stratum, and they reached the
second stage in the experience of a place.
hunter In large city, and were willing
to take any position which would yield a
support and give them chance to show
their talents to any advantage.
1t was at this time they fell In the way
of an inveterate Joker, who forthwith
began devisiDg plan for creating good
laugh at their expense and at the same
time giving them closer insight into
city tricks. Taking the elder brother
aside he sympsthized with him on his
want of success, and finally told him that
providing he and his brother would
promise eternal secrecy he would divulge
to them plan which, as he said, had
never been known to fail. The promise
of secrecy was readily obtained and the
mysterious open-sesame Of the hearts of
tho prominent merchants of the world
was communicated as follows:
"There is" said the friend, Ia Secret
Society having branches in all the large
cities of the world, formed for the pur.
pose of the mutual protection of all the
heavy merchants and shippers, to enable
them to guard against loss through the
populations and dishonesty of their EN-.
ployees. Now, the grand haillng sign
of this Society is made as follows: Close

hand and with the index and middle
fingers extended rub them along the side
of the nose while speaking"
