TOO WITTY.

A Smart Storekeeper Jokes With the
Wrong Customer.
1t is not profitable for a merchant to
be too witty; at any rate, he should
not try to be witty on every occasion.
Not long ago, in country town where
there are two groceries on the same
street, a very green, tow-headed, timid-
looking young countryman came into
one of them one afternoon at time
when half a dozen villagers were
grouped around the stove. The store
keeper was waiting upon some one and
paid no attention to the newcomer.
Presently the timid young man said,
in a faltering, half-frightened voice:
u-keep-sweet-pt etters?'
NO" said the storekeeper, 1--WE don't
keep 'em. We sell EN- just as fast as
we cam"
Then he winLed at the company
around the stove, who snickered appre-
ciatively. The green young man said,
''Oh!" and went up to the stove and
spread out the palms of his hands The
storekeeper went on waiting on his
other customers and used up about IF
teen minutes in doing SO.
Then he stepped toward the green
young man, who was still warming his
hands at the stove, and said, brusquely:
did you say you wanted to buy some
sweet potatoes?"
The young man turned slowly about
and answered, I-didn't-say-I
wanted-to buy-none; jest-ast-ye
if We KEEP 'em-"
He then warmed his hands a few
minutes longer. Then he walked slow.
" out of the the store, remarking as he
went:
T-guess-rI-go-daown the street
-an'-buy-me some-sweet p'tet-
ters!''
The laugh around the stove was not
at the expense of the greenhorn this
Unconstitutional Grocer.
