"No," said the mistress of tho Sixth ward homo to which a vendor of a euro cure for catarrh applied yesterday, yester-day, "I haven't any catarrh, don't need any medlclno for It, and wouldn't buy any from a peddler, anyway." "But, madam," Bald tho cheeky pushing his way Into tho house, "let me tell you about this wonderful remedy." Ho yanked out his samples and his order book and reeled off his regular reg-ular song everybody has catarrh, everybody buys this remedy, and everybody ev-erybody snuffs it threo times a day and drives tho catarrh out of the keyhole, etc. When ho paused for wind tho angry woman sweetly nsked 760 questions and kept him talking for an hour. When his voice was worn to a whisper whis-per sho said, calmly: "Well, I haven't a cent of money In tho house, so I can't buy any of your medicine " "Why In blazes didn't you say so an hour ago?" he yolled as ho boltpd for tho street.
