We made an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
for an ascension at the Poplar Grove fair
Every member OF the gang was there,
and, by the way. the gang was pretty large
now. Secrecy was no longer possible, and
every conspirator came into the open. We
were proud now: we had succeeded; we
even courted publicity-and we got it that
day TO our hearts content. The ascension
was pretty, as clean as was ever made

My servant girl wants Them explained
the man, half alphabetically.
Yes" said the salesman, looking bored.
The man selected three of the books, one
on dreams, one on fortune telling, and one
on handkerchief fiirtations, paid for them
and went away.
His servant girl wants Them, said the
salesman to friend. 1.-The old gag. He
wants them himself, and is ashamed to ask
for them.
I'VE get several dozens of that kind in
here every week. They are crazy over
dream books and fortune telling books, and
all that kind of thing, but they are so afraid
some one will know il.
Almost every one of them blames the
poor servant That's the most popular bluff.
They laugh and say they don't know why
the servant wants them, but they suppose
they'd better humor her.
Then they take the books home and read
them by the hour When they've finished
them they come back for more.
IT'S best to let them think they are fool
ing you, for we sell more books that way"
