Show A few days ago the assistant poaV inaster of Port Chester, Pa, suspected the oarrie? of having stolen some oranges or-anges he had in the office, according to a local paper. So he bought another stock and asked a neighboring druggist to inject into them some drug that would make the thieves sick, but not injure them. The druggist injected water wa-ter and then informed the carriers. They of course stole the oranges, and when tho owner entered the office he fyund them all very sick. In a little while they were writhing on the floor. Then the joker thought the druggist had made a mistake and ran to him for a prescription". He prescribed brandy, and it took $5 worth to relieve them of their pain. Some of them got a little overcured by tho medicine, or on the other side of a normal condition, but they enjoyed their superior's joke all the Eame. New Y6rk Tribune. |
