CIGAR DEALER'S I^ADY WIT
Philadelphian Takes Advantage of Cus

ment of His Account.
Harry Petoaky, who conducts a cigar
store in Philadelphia is the pos
sessor of an old fashioned type
writer upon which he makes out
bills and occasionally writes a let
ter. At the end of every typewritten
page he Is in the habit of putting H. P.
?I. C. S., the first two being his Inb
tlals and the last set for Independent
Cigar Store.
A few weeks ago, In writing to a
delinquent customer to remit his ac
count, he forgot to attach the series
of letters. The customer, noting the
defection in the letter, answered at
, oticci, saying In part: ' What has be-,
come of your stenographer since you
wrote me last" I notice yon did not
put H P I C. s. on your letter."
For I ho time surprised al the false
Impression ho had been creating,
Harry, with ready wit, answered at
once:
"Had to flio the poor girl this week,
because you're holding a week's salary
that i wanted to ^Ive her. Please remit
?t once."
