ing town to work in a store, and couple of
young lady friends took it upon themselves
to teach him city ways. They first Impress
ed upon him the duty of treating young
ladies to ice cream ct cetera, and he learned
his lesson well that before he realized it
he dead broke and a shilling short
He was obliged to call on his employer for
an advance to meet the deficiency and the
employer thinking the clerk had probably
learned his lesson well, made up the whole
amount of the bill to him. When the girls
told the story at home they We're strongly
advised to beware of such pranks in the
future. Not long ago a certain Belfast of
fetal bought pair of boots and left them
for few minutes in the store of Grand
Army comrade. Shortly after he asked
friend in to see his new boots and when he
united the package there rolled therefrom
