A Practical Joke : O.ie evening lately number of buyers, and perlups the al proportion of 1 lafers, were in a st'>re when a young rural j jker present spied a pile of work gloves on the coun- ter and figured on making some fun for he crowd.

He put down a trUr, got h s change and then put his arm around tbe pile of uluves and left he counter. claiming that lid i .1 1 bjught the lot. Tne. merchant's wrath waxed exceeding hot, and he hustled around and put the young fellow out of the door, admitting afterwards that he sometime* made a d n foul of himself, but d;d not ike to see others ditto.
