Not His Kind.

Two members of a well-established firm that does business in the wholesale district indulged in the following dialogue the other afternoon: Junior partner—Why didn’t you give that man a chance? We need another clerk here, and I rather liked his looks. Senior partner—l liked his looks, too, but he's no good. Junior partner—How do you know that? Senior partner—When a man who is looking for a job comes to me and says: “I suppose you don’t want to hire any one today, do you?” that’s enough. If he had anything in him he’d come right out and say what he meant. If he supposed we didn’t want to hjre anyone why did he waste our time and his by coming to bother us?
