him, thrust out his hand and offered

avoid the greeting of the salesman
and snapped, Cut out the salve, |

Fortunately the travelling man was
a real man" He gave that business
man one of the worst callings that
he ever had in his life. Customers
in the store were so delighted to
think that the drummer had the
manhood to come back that the
story has spread all over town.
