One on the Clerk.

One of the prettiest '.Jgirls in Plytnouth went into a drug store the other day and asked the very polite clerk how to take a dose of castor oil without tasting it. The clerk asked her if she would have a glass of ice cream soda and she said she would, with thanks. After she ate it she was asked if she tasted the castor oil. “Why, no,” she said; “did you put a dose in the soda?” “Yes,” was the reply. The pretty girl blushed and only tarried long enough to say, “I didn’t want it for iuyself, I wanted it for my mother.”
