<p>“I shall never again employ any but experienced salesmen, who thoroughly understand the jewelry business,” said a Houston jeweler to a friend yesterday.</p>
<p>“You see, at Christmas time we generally need more help, and sometimes employ people who can sell goods, but are not familiar with the fine points of the business. Now, that young man over there is thoroughly good and polite to every one, but he has just lost me one of my best customers.”</p>

<p>“How was that?” asked the friend.</p>
<p>“A man who always trades with us came in with his wife last week and with her assistance selected a magnificent diamond pin that he had promised her for a Christmas present and told this young man to lay it aside for him till today.”</p>
<p>“I see, said the friend, “and he sold it to someone else and disappointed him.”</p>

<p>The young lady was much impressed with the idea, and on the following Friday evening when some half-dozen young men were in the parlor paying her attentions, she volunteered to recite. She has not the least dramatic talent, but she stood up and went through with a long poem, with many gestures and much rolling of eyes and pressing of her hands to her heart. She did it very badly, and without the least regard for the rules of elocution or expression.</p>
<p>Later on, her friend Marian asked her how her effort was received.</p>
<p>“Oh,” she said, “they all crowded around me, and appeared to be filled with the utmost delight. Tom, and Henry, and Jim, and Charlie were in raptures. They said that Mary Anderson could not have equaled it. They said they had never heard anything spoken with such dramatic effect and feeling.”</p>
<p>“Every one praised you?” asked Marian.</p>
<p>“Everyone praised you?” asked Marian.</p>
<p>“All but one. <abbr>Mr.</abbr> Judson sat back in his chair and never applauded at all. He told me after I had finished that he was afraid I had very little dramatic talent at all.”</p>
<p>“Now,” said Marian. “You know who is sincere and genuine?”</p>
<p>“Yes,” said the beautiful girl, with eyes shining with enthusiasm. “The test was a complete success. I detest that odious Judson, and Im going to begin studying for the stage right away.”</p>

<p>“That old Turkey over in Europe doesnt seem to be making much noise now.”</p>
<p>“No,” said the solemn man, “it seems like the other nations are doing all the gobbling.”</p>
<p>The fat man let out a yell and laid down and rolled over and over on the floor. “Gosh ding it,” he howled, “thats the best thing I ever heard. Ah—ha—ha—ha—ha—ha! Come on, gentlemen, and have something on that.”</p>
<p>The invitation seemed to all hands to be a sufficient apology for all his ill-timed merriment, and they ranged along the bar. While the drinks were being prepared, the fat man slipped along the line and whispered something in the ear of every one, except the man with the silk hat. When he got through a broad smile spread over the faces of the crowd.</p>

<p>“Well, gentlemen, heres fun!” said the solemn man as he raised his glass.</p>
<p>The whole party, with one accord, started off into a perfect roar of laughter, spilling half their drinks on the bar and floor.</p>
<p>“Did you ever hear such a flow of wit?” said one.</p>
