A Yankee Captain Outwitted.

Capt. Farrow of Islesboro tells a good
story of himself which occurred few
years ago while he was trading at Key
West. 1t was case where Northern
Yankee was outwitted by Southerner.
The Captain was trading in a small
vessel, and had been up the coast to
Tampa Bay, where he purchased twenty
dozen chickens, paying 81 per dozen.
The chickens ran all the way in size
from few days old to full-grown ones.
At Key West hotel landlord came
alongside and asked the Captain how
he sold his chickens. The Captain re-
piled: elf you pick them out shall
charge you Sc per dozen; If you let ms
pick them out you can have them at So
per Dozen" "All right" said the hotel
man, "you pick them out" The Cap
tain selected several dozen of the
smallest, when the man said: "Gc
ahead, want more" The Captain
was now among his largest fowls, an6
wished the man would stop, but he still
said: "Go on" The Captain saw the
point at last. The man kept him select
ing until he purchased the entire lot a
loss of $50 to the owner. After this
the Captain sold his chickens on {
| different plan,
