The World Is Honest.

Pencils


A lead pencil should never be wet.
II hardens tile lead and ruins the pen
ell. This factls known to newspaper
men and stenographers. But nearly
every one else does wet apencil before
using it. This fact was definitely set
tied by newspaper clerk away down
east. Being Of a mathematical turn oil
mind. he ascertained by actual count
that of fifty persons who came into the
the Office to write an advertisement or a
church notice, forty-nine wet pencil
in their mouths before using it. Now
this clerk always uses The best pencils
that can be procured--In fact is a con-
nolsseur in lead pencils, cherishing a
good one with something Of the pride a
soldier feels in his gun or his sword /;
and it hurts his feelings to have his PEN
Gil spoiled. But peliteness and busi-
ness considerations require him TO lend
his pencils scores of times every day.
And often, afterit had been wet TIL it
was hard and brital and refused 10 mark,
his feelings would oyerpower him. FL
nally he got some cheap pencils and
sharpened them, land kept them to lend.
The first person who took up the stock
pencil was drayman, whose breath
srnelled OF onions and whiskey. He
held The point in bis mouth for several
minutes while he was torturing himself
in the effort to write an advertisement
fer missing bull dog. The next was
a granger, whose mouth OyerlOwed
with tobacco juice, in streaks down each
side, and who wet the pencil every
time he wrote a word. Then a sweet
looking young lady came into the office
with Kid gloves that.buttoned the whole
length Of her arms, and hung in a row
of buttons and buttonholes half yard
oyee her shoulders. She picked up the
same old pencil and pressed it to her
dainty lips preparatory 10 writing an ad'
velt,sement for lost bracelet. The
clerk would have stayed her hand, even
at the risk Of boz Of the b.st pencils
ever Fabcr made, but he was too late.
And thus that pencil passed from mouth
to mouth for week. 1t was sucked
b, people Of all ranks and stations, and
all degrees of cleanliness and unclcanli-
ness, Finally the clerk, who had now
learned to always keep Lending PEN
with him, went to see a friend, who was
ns. recovering from typhoid fever and
Who borrowed a pencil to write his &C
acknowledgements to kind neighbors who
who had watched with him. Next day
that pencil went upon the counter al
tached to pad ofpaper BY string,
and was in turn admitted TO the mouth
of every caller. Alas it had absoi bed

those who had sucked its fatal point
were brought low by the epidemic. But

One Of the latest tricks played upon
shopkeepers was successfully performed
at a Cincinnati grocery the other eve
ming. A woman entered and ordered
pound Of the best coffee. She carried
lar under her arm. aud when the
groceryman was about to pour the
coffee in a paper bag the customer told
bin to dumpit into the jar instead.-
The man did so, the female leaning
over the counter and still holding the
Jar under her arm, with the bottom OF
the vessel concealed. When she had
received the coffee tie female pnt her
hand in her pocket, and with a well
feigned expression ofannoyance cried ;
Il do declare, lave left my purse at
home 4! I'll just set the jar of coffee
down on the counter here while l run
in home and get the money She
placed the jar on the counter and went
out, but she failed TO return, and when
The storekeeper picked up the jar he
was surprised to find that it did not
contain any coffee, and that the bottom
had been knocked out. II then flashed
upon his mind that when he poured the
coffee IN the far it ran through into
bag concealed By the female sharper.
