Never again."

Never again!
 And my right hand is Up on it, said James Exworth, in commenting upon his visit to an agateware sale early Saturday morning.
 The women had swarmed like bunch of bees to the sale and it was near one who was a late arrival that with a smile he gathered his bundles up once again.
 She began to pick up the articles hs had already purchased and became quite irritated when he told her they were al ready sold.
 Again the persevering male laid his wares down to be wrapped and again sh- began to gather them in.
 But they are mine,'' he calmly smiled
 Well, I don't see what man wants to come to bargain sales for, anyway" she said
 Then he came forth with the statement. Lady, if you had a good husband who would be kind enough to come down at this time of morning and run this line you wouldn't be bothered with this sale. 2
 Now, it is never again and the next time my wife may come along for this kind of party said the unfortunate vic tim of the angry auction crowd it's the last time for me"
