Peddling Peter shuffled to the bar
of the country inn and ordered a
glass of beer.
"Say, boss," he remarked, as the
landlord served him, "d'you -want ter
buy a patent, never-failing flykiller?"
"How much?" was the reply.
"Well, guv'nor, if you'll perwide me
wi' a decent dinner yer can 'ave a
full-sized bottle of my flykiller for
nowt"
The worthy innkeeper eventually
agreed, add when the repast had
been provided and consumed, he
said, briskly:
"Now let's see this wonderful pat
ent of yours."
Peddling Peter at once produced
a small bottle from his pack and
carefully uncorked it
"All you 'ave to do," he explained,
"is to old the aggrawatm hinsec' be
tween the finger and thumb, press
'im firmly until 'e opens 'is mouth,
an' then drop in some of this poison."
"W-why," gasped mine host, fee
bly, "if I had him between my fingers
I could squeeze him to death straight
away."
"Well," remarked Peddling Peter,
as he departed, "o' course that's a
very good way, too." Tit-Bits.

o here!' and the pickle said, 'I won't!'
and now they are having an awful
fuss." Ladies' Home Journal.
