There is the man who sat near us at lunch

A BALTIMORE dry-goods clerk has just
undergone an unpleasant experience. He
sold motherly old lady sealskin cloak for
$500, and she took him in her carriage to
get the money at her home. On the way
she stopped at lunatic asylum to see a
friend, and in about two minutes the sales
man was seized as sick relative of the
old lady afflicted with the insane notion
that he was selling dry goods for a
living and was being swindled. He was
confined as such, his reservations bearing
out the charge, and it was many hours be-
fore he could convince the asylum officials
that he was the victim of swindler who had
made a sealskin cloak by the operation.
