GIVING A "FRESH" FELLOW
a LESSON.

One OF those exceptionally sffresh'
individuals, known under the polite
name of 'sdrummers, received lesson
in Rhinebeck recently which may bene-
fit him on his travels. He sauntered
into an auction store on East Market
street and .ccosted the proprietor with
the remark:
Sab, see you have about everything
here"
''Yes, sir, answered the urbane shop
keeper, little of most everything"
The drummer yawned once or twice,
stroked his promissory moustache, and
bestowing knowing look of superiority
on the ASSEMBLED people, remarked:
"Well," Captain, suppose you give me
Cincinnati search warrant"
The auctioneer very coolly turned to
his shelves, opened a small box, and
handed fine tooth comb to the fresh
young man, saying:
There. sir, is the best search warrant
you can buy. I am sure if you use it
you'll find what you are in search Of
The national colors appeared on that
smart strangers face, and he immediate
~ had business elsewhere.
