The "tradesman" has his troubles as
well as his next door neighbor. the
business man." One day last week a
wholesale fish dealer In Fulton market
was approached by fashlonably
dressed woman, who, after asking the
price, decided to buy a pound Of
smelts. Although II was not custom
ary to cater to retail trade, to be con-
genial he decided to obllge her.
Il would like to have them cleaned,
II you please" she said.
The fishman cleaned them.
"oh, yes" the woman considerably
remarked after looking them over,
win you kindly take oil the bones
outi" ts.
"Certainly," said the man. But he
said things to himself as he went be-
hind the lcebox and extracted the
bones.
After fifteen minutes labor he wrap.
ped the smelts In neat parcel, which
he handed the woman.
II am so much obliged to you" she
said. "You see, my cat absolutely re.
fuses to eat fish II they are bony."
As the fashlonabIy gowned woman
walked out the fishman said some more
things. s.--New York Press.
