HE CHEWED CORKS.

A Little Habit OF His That Astonis led
the Inquisitive Drug Clerk.
Everyone has seen him. He works
in some capacity in fully half the
stores in the country, and is known
either as the Inquisitive Clerk or the
Clerk W ho-Knows-It All.
He was behind the counter in one
of the many drug stores where he is
employed few days ago when u
man came in and said he wanted to
get half-a dozen six ounce bottles.
"Bottles?" he asked.
Yes. bottles" responded the man.
"With or without corks?' he asked
with corks," was the response.
"Want 'em empty?" he inquired.
"Certainly."
"And new?"
"Do you suppose 1 want bottles
you've been Keeping strychnine in?"
The clerk said such an idea had
never entered his head, and then
asked:
"What do you want them for?'
ITO break" responded the impa-
TENT customer, promptly.
WHAT"
The customer beckoned to him to
loan over the counter, and then
ought hold of the lapel of his coat
. I'd whispered:
II wouldn't want the neighbors to
get onto 1t, but I really like to hear
hem crack. Just q within of mine.
It's better than breaking windows,
and gives me just as much pleasure;
but my supply has given out, and l
want few to hold me over until an.
other carload arrives"
The clerk looked at the customer
doubtfully.
80, well, of course it's nothing to
me-" he said.
"Then what made you ask about
it?" demanded the customer.
The clerk made no reply, but got
the bottles. AS he was making the
change, however, the spirit moved
him to ask:
"What do you do with the corks?"
"Chew 'em," was the reply. ITS
good for the digestion. Try it some
time"
Then the customer walked out, and
the clerk SHOOK his head and tapped
his forehead. But he has asked no
questions since.

He Took Her Out Bathing and
Threatened to Let Her Drown.
Here is a novel plan through which
young lady became engaged while
she was visiting at Cape May Point
last summer. The girl-a wealthy
westerner by the way-nad flirted
desperately with and finally refused
q man well known to club life in New
York. He did not give up the ship,
however, but went down to Cane May
Point to see the cruel one. They went
in bathing, and he taught her to float,
although she couldn't swim stroke.
One day she was floating, and he was
swimming with one hand placed
beneath her shoulder 10 keep her

After she had been looking up ct

and the bottom of the sea. She begged
him to swim back toward the beach +,

her, while toe cool, salt waves washed
around them, that he loved her to
distraction, that he had grown des-
perate, and that unless she promised
to marry him then and there, he
would let her drown, and for a sec
ond time he momentarily withdrew
his hand.
The western girl didn't dare move
but she sobbingly confessed that she
had loved him all along, and that
she would marry MIN of course, and
that he ought to know she was just
acting silly when she refused MIN.
Then the young man stopped swim.
