A Candid Young Man.

Texas Sftings.
Once upon time an Austin druggist
secured new clerk who was suffering
either from too much candor in his
organization, or had contracted the
reprehensible habit of thinking out
loud. He didn't last long. He wore
himself out quite rapidly. One day
Mrs. Ebsnezer Blyleighton, who hap
pened to be the most fashionable scan
dal monger in town, having easily beat
en- all previous records, dispatched her
colored servant to the drug store after
bottle of vaseline.
What does she want it for?" asked
the clerk.
Il dunno"
"Well, she doesn't want TO take it
three times day as tonic, does she?"
81 dunno. Pears ter me she wants
de vassilment ter put onter her chapped
lips"
We'll, why couldn't you have come
right out at once and said so? So she
has got to lubricate and grease up her
gossipy old mouthpiece to keep it run
ming easily, has she? Her mouth be-
gins to creak, does it, like gate with
a rusty hinge?"
1t isn't known to a certainty that the
servant delivered this unintended mes
sage verbatim, but enough of it leaked
into the eais of Mrs. Blyleighton to
enable her to translate portion of it
to the Austin drug dealer. And this it
was which caused the clerk to "sever
his connection" The druggist, as he
pushed the candid clerk out of the back
door, remarked that it made him sick
to have that kind of a boy in the estab-
lishment.
