Cheap Suits.

A number of years ago a fellow who had driven some stock to Cincinnati formed a soheme to get a new suit of clothes from one of the energetic dealers who so urgently solicit the man from the country to buy. Ho went into the store, after stationing several of his rascally companions where they could look in. and ordered the finest sirit in the entire stock. Just as he had got fairly into them, the gang outside, in accordance with their instrue-. tions, rushed into the store* brandishing pistols and “Shoot the son of a s^a-cook! Kill the blank scoundrel! Kill him! Kill him!" The man in the new clothes, affecting great terror, broke for the door, the gang following in hot pursuit, and in a very Bhort time the entire gang was safe on the Kentucky side. The clothing dealer is still waiting for the seacock's sou to return and pay for the clothes. : • V • ' ." t -■ s. ’• . . - V - ; a " < * *•« *:
