Ready for All Customers.

The Providence Journal has this item from Phenix, R. I.: “There is a farmer -who once a week drives into this place in a market wagon loaded down with produce. Over the back of the load is thrown a buffalo robe. Under this, packed in at one end—the front end— are jugs and kegs of cider; under the back end are apples (russets), eggs, vegetables, etc. When this wily old granger diives up to prohibition families’houses he whips up up the back end of the robe and exhibits his temperance goods on sale, always saying: Tve got the feed for my boss packed in forrerds;’ when he stops before a house where they Jtike a little cider for mince pies,' he slightly tilts up the *forrerd’ end of the robe and draws the cider for the pies. But when his hobbling ;old nag brings up at other houses the granger gives the robe a jerk, swings it clear off the whole load of salables, and remarks: ‘What’ll you have this mornin*, Mis’ Brown ? An Omaha paper publishes this advertisement: “Persons eighty years old or over, who have resided in Omaha for some time, are respectfully requested to correspond with the undersigned. Residence should be stated. Subjects of mutual interest will' be discussed, and a society of genial spirits may be organized.’’ Remember that you are not gams just because some big man makes you quail.
