make a handsome present to a friend
entering the bonds If matrimony. He
wrought out for himself a little scheme.
He went to a wholesale store and asked
to e some of their broken ware.
Among other stuff he was shown a very
handsome vase that Was badly broken.
which, in a good condition, would have
been worth $75 the remains would
sell for s.. He purchased the ire
MAINS and had them carefully packed
and forwarded with his card, the reci-
pients. of course, imagined that they
had got broken on the way. and not in
forming him of the fact lest he might
go to additional expense. Rather a
clever dodge, as lodges go! But he
told this to "a friend who went and did
likewise. He, however, was misunder-
stood by the dealer, who. in sending
the %''remaius." had each piece carefully
packed 80 as to prevent further break
ages and, consequently. the ruse was
exposed.-N.Y Y. Morning Journal.
