THE AGENTS TRICK.
He Employed Woman's Two Sur-
names to Good Advantage.

From the New York Tribune.
This is a true story, which points out
the advantage of possessing, or at least
! occasionally making of, more than one
surname. Last year Mrs. Smith, who lives
in an apartment house uptown, needed an
up-to-date sewing machine for a few
weeks and so hired one from a well-known
company. Two or three weeks ago she
received a call from a commission sales
man of the firm. He reminded her of the
fact that she had hired machine last
spring, and asked if she would not like one
to again this season for two or three
weeks on trial. Mrs. Smith said that she
had no intention of buying a sewing ma
chine at present, but the agent, not at all
deferred by this, seemed anxious to lease
one.
Well" said Mrs. Smith. finally. reflect
ing that she could use one for a little
work that she had on hand 81 don't care;
you may bring 1t II you like
A few days later the machine arrived, in
charge of of the company's porters.
This man. however, before carrying it up
stairs, came in to inquire whether the
right name had been given to him. 1T
says on my card" he explained, that this
is to be left with family by the name of
Jones'
Now, the card on the letter box of the
Smiths apartment reads:
Mr.. Henry Jones Smith"
oh" said Mrs Smith that is the mid
die name
Yes" said the man, $50 I noticed on the
card. / suppose it's just the salesmans
mistake. but l wanted to make sure IL was
right to leave the machine"
But he seemed still to be turning the
matter over in his mind, for, after placing
the machine where it was desired to have
it, and starting to CO. he suddenly asked:
Did you ever have a machine of ours on
trial beforeT'
NO" replied Mrs. Smith. but 1 hired
one last year"
oh said the porter, smiling IL he
had solved a mystery; that's it, thenl
They do il sometimes. 1t wasn't any mis-
take on the agents part to give a differ
ent name"
Much puzzled, Mrs. Smith asked for an
explanation.
We'll you see" said the porter. its
against the rules to send out a machine
on trial to anybody who has ever hired
one the idea being, OF course, that If you
will pay for one there's no use in sending
it to you free. But the agents want to
leave as many as possible, to get all the
chances they can of making sales so they
sometimes fix up schemes like this. Now,
when it's time to return this machine, If
anybody calls for it in the name of Jones.
why, you'll understand it's all right. But
