Show Oulte Correct. A smooth-looking stranger recently placed a number of penny-ln-the-slot machines In a certain town. The machines ma-chines bore the following Inscription: "The greatest aid known to digestion. diges-tion. Drop a ponny In the slot. Push, then pull." At the top of the machine was a handle to bo pushed, then pulled, and many townspeople who could not resist re-sist the temptation of trying some new device, for the same reason that Timothy took tho wine "for his stomach's sake" dropped in their pennies and took a push and pull out of the machlDO. But that was all. No result followed, and thore was some talk of blowing open tho hoarded treasure. At the end of the week the agent reappeared, unlocked the machines, garnered the wealth and retired, after explaining that exercise was tho greatest thing for digestion in the world." The crowd was so paralyzed that the agent escaped unharmed. |
