WHAT SHE WANTED,
The EIuckstcr Was Called Up Four
Flights to Hear Something.

The Huckstcr Was Called Up Four
Flights to Hear Something.
A huckster was going along an East
side street early one morning last week
making the welkin ring with his sing
song of 'Po-ta-t-o-o-o-es, toma-t~o-o-es.
Nice sweet cooking appools.". AS he
drove slowly along he lifted his eyes
to the windows on either side of the
street.
Suddenly there appeared woman's
head at window in one of the top
flats. The huckster pulled in his horse
and raised his ear to listen to the COM
mands he expected would be coming.
But the woman had not the lung power
to make her voice carry so far, and the
huckster called out: Flows that?"
Again the woman called out and her
voice came down family. The huckster
didn't know whether she wanted po-
tatoes, cantaloupes, tomatoes or corn.
SO he marked the fourth fiat from the
corner and motioned that he would
drive around to the alley. The woman
was there waiting for him and called
out once more, but he couldn't UNDER
stand; her.
Gathering a handful OF samples of
various vegetables from his stock he
mounted four flights of back stairs and
arrived at the top painting. The woman
stood there awaiting his coming.
Couldn't hear what you said, lady,"
said the huckster, 80 I brought up
some OF each kind an you can pick
what you want an III go down an get
EN-"
"Want?" said the woman, who was
in towering rage. want? I don't
want none of your old vegeta bles. What
/ want is for you to stop hollerin' in
front OF this house, or I'll have you ar
rested. You're enough to wake the
dead. My husband works all night and
he's just got into little doze, and good
ness knows it's hard enough to sleep
daytimes such weather as this with
out fiend like you standing in front of
the house yelling like a Comanche.
Now you get out of here and don't you
holler no more or I'll get the police
after you.''
The huckster stood with set eyes and
drooPng jaw, the perspiration drop
ping off his chin, while this harangue
was going on. When she had finished
he came out of his trance, and said:
us that what you called me all the
way up here for? Send fer yer p'lice,
lady; I'm goin' to yell to beat the band"
And he went down the stairs and out
OF the alley and up the street in front
OF the house with four extra links let
out OF his throat. And if any person
slept on that street it was under the
influence of opiates.-Kansas City Star.
