One at a Time.

At a charity bazaar in a small provincial town a great attraction was a tiny gray suede glove, which lay on a rose pink satin cushion. Above 1 it was displayed a notice which read: “The owner of this glove will, at 7 p. m. this evening, be pleased to kiss any person who purchases a ticket before that hour.” It was such a sweet little glove that it could only belong to a lovely girl. At least so thought the long queue of young men who were waiting .eagerly as the clock struck 7. Promptly- to the minute old Maydock, the ’-local butcher, appeared; Maydock is a worthy person, but not a beauty. He calmly picked up the gloVe and remarked: “Well, gents, this glove belongs to me. I bought it this morning. I’m ready for you, so don’t be bashful. One at a time, please.”
