Not Needed.

While a traveling man was waiting for an opportunity to show his samples to a merchant in a little backwoods town in Missouri, a customer came in and bought a couple of nightshirts. Afterwards a long, lank, lumberman, with his ti-ousers stuffed in his boots, said to the merchant: “What was them ’ere that feller bot?” "Night shirts. Can I sell you one or two?” “Naup, I reckon not,” said the Missourian, "I don’t set around much o* nights.”—Lippincott’s.
