a guying sort of way the man asked if
1910 wouldn't buy the lott eff [ said
yes" replied the peddler, 'it would do
me no good, as you haven't got $40"
Nettled al this, the business man, to show
he was not to be cowed down by the
peddIer. laid his hand upon the cloths,
saying they were his, and borrowed $40
from his friend behind the bar to pay fer

the peddler left, and when the bundle
was opened it was discovered to consist of
several fat boards, few small pieces of
cloths, each containing about enough for
pair of slippers, and around these was
wrapped piece of cloth of sufficient
measurement to make just one pair of
pantaloons. It is not necessary to state
the moral that goes with this incident.
