He Had Enough oft.

Will Hampton, of the Cincinnati
Merchant Traveller, once clerked in u
st. Louis hardware store in the day
tiule, and spent the greater portion OF
the night III brooding over the woes
with which his life was fraught. He
once discovered that his landlsdy had
contracted the painful habit of sending
10 the store for everything, from
tack hammer to refrigerator, and
having them charged to his account
thus, when pay day arrived, the cashier
always had to hunt around for q nickel
to pay him OF with.
AT last he rebelled, sought the pres
ence cf the landlady, and said, earn
eslN:
"NIrs. Smith, on divers occasions /

ssling no thanks; I've fished your
