Got Money from 1t.
Boston Herald.

A small. active and enterprising vendor
of the itinerant variety was standing near
the corner of School and Washington
streets the other evening. loudly expatiat-
which he held in one hand, while with the
other he shook a small. gaudy covered
pamphlet in the faces of the ''rubbering'
crowd.
Get together, gentlemen. get together"
he exclaimed with a Chelsean dialect, and
an expressive sweep of the pamphlet to the
goodly crowd that lowered near.
rs that all we get?" inquired a tall,
lanky chap, with sleepy face and
moist muStache.
The vender pretended Inconsistencies
and the crowd snickered.
The street merchant continued: Now,
gentlemen, I'm selling you this envelope
for a nickel half dime. cents, and I'm
giving you this book. at the same time
The book Is advertising. but to place Ii in
your hands / must sell you this envelope"
What's the matter with selling the book
and giving the envelope away?" queried
the lanky chap. clearing his throat noisily
The answer was a scornful glance.
Whats in the envelope?' asked an in
terested spectator.
"Ha, hai'' laughed the man Of the sleepy
face; and the crowd echoed him.
The vender looked fierce for a moment
and then said: For the benefit of those
who have just arrived I will open ONE
envelope and took out five plain white
cards. Hold them up to the light, gentle
men, that's all. That's ALL"
And guess it'll be enough" vouchsafed
the lanky chap. with a queer grin.
A smile ran through the crowd while a
number loudly laughed at the suppressed
anger of the little man in the plaid suit
Gentlemen, these cards are TRANSPARENT
cies. One Is called the dancer another
the bather.' another through the keyhole:'
the fourth one is the vision and the title
of the fifth one 1 wouldn't dare to say but
1 think you Will readily recognize In II the
features of the smart Aleck who Is trying
TO make monkey of me and injure nv
business" And he looked hard at the tall
chap
This witty drive at the laxative man
pleased the crowd immensely, and they
Immediately sided with the vendor who
for a few minutes had quite a brisk trade
Then the lsnky chap spoke. Cheese II,
the cop,'
Gentlemen, my business is perfectly
legitimate. II / wasn't here / would be

''Or in Jail" interrupted the tall man with
a prolonged groan and funny cookie of a
laugh.
The crowd. which was increasing every
minute. roared with laughter and patrol
man who was on the outskirts grinned and
quietly disappeared up School street.
"Gentlemen, piped the merchant as he
made couple OF quick sales, I'm sorry
for this unavoidable interruption. This in

his starving wife and children or trying to
earn an honest dollar 20 keep them from
