CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
And 1t Cost the Smart Drummer a
Dinner for Three

Dinner Tor nree.
A book agent, drummer and life
insurance man were chatting in front
of the sub-treasury in Wall street the
other day. The book agent, who is
said to be an artist in his profession,
began to blow about his success. He
said he never found much trouble in
persuading people to buy books, and
then he claimed that he could ap-
proach an utter stranger and borrow
dollar from him by the sheer force
of his personality. This was disputed
vehemently by the other two, and
while the argument was waxing warm
an elderly man, with a shrewd. clean
shaven face, happened to pass.
That's Russell Sage remarked
the insurance man to the drummer,
with an air of superior wisdom.
The drummer thought he saw
chance of getting a shade the best of
it. Turning to the book agent. he said:
"Ill bet you a dinner for the three
of us that you can't borrow quarter,
let alone dollar. from that old man,
walking up the street"
'I'll go you" replied the book agent,
starting in pursuit.
Inc man OF nerve accosted his vic
tim, apparently got him interested.
and then steered him up against
store window out of the way of the
passing crowd. His two chums could
not hear what he was saying, but they
could see by his motions and express
sion that he was doing the pleading
of his life. 1t was a long, hard job,
but at last nerve wont out, and the
book agent returned with satisfied
expression on his face and a bright
new quarter.
A broker who was passing was told
about the wager, and they pointed out
