Dewey Hanley always has an eye
for bargains, and as a trader will
eclipse any Yankee we know Of.
Boynton Cheney, he whose sobriquet
is "Tobe" had a shot gun which
Dewey coveted and after much par
Ieying a trade was made whereby
Dewey exchanged a lot of gents fur
nishing goods for the gun. After the
trade was consummated and goods
delivered, Dewey found the gun to be
(or at least thought it was) of un-
reliable fame and just as apt to blow
off its owners head as that of any
other game. Not being ready yet to
"shUffl9 off this mortal COLL" Dewey
takes the gun back, but Tobe perfectly
satisfied with the garments and their
fit and realizing the valuable addition
they make to his wardrobe, says the
trade is for keeps. Here the matter
rests, but whether the courts will be
resOrted to or a board of arbitration
selected is as yet uncertain.
