A young lady Came into a certain Bluffton drug store a few days ago and asked if it were posisble to disguise castor oil. “It’s horrid stuff to take, you know. Ugh!” said the young lady with a shudder. “Why certainly,” said the druggist, and just then as another young lady was taking some soda water, the druggist asked her if she wouldn’t have some too. After drinking it the young lady lingered a few min utes and then observed: “Now tell me, how would you disguise castor oil?” “Why, madam, 1 just gave you some.” My gracious me!" exclaimed the young lady, "why I wanted it for my sister!”
