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 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 belpng 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.”
