Had Him That Time.
One day a traveler from a distant part of
the State stopped at a town this side of
Waterford, when a man thus accosted him:
“When you get to the tavern at Waterford
look out for old Joe Poole. He is the
worst joker you ever saw. You may readi
ly know h im, for he is a great stutterer.
He will at once accost you, and want to
bet that you haven’t a whole shirt on your
back, and if you take him up he will be
sure to win.
The traveler thanking his friend for the
warning, but suggested that he guessed he
wouldn’t get much the best of him, and
started on his journey.
Arriving at the tavern late in the even
ing. sure enough there was the old joker,
Joe Poole, together with a crowd of friends
I and admi.ers. The moment the stranger
' entered the bar-room, Joe spotted him,
' and at once winked at his fellows as much
■as to say, here comes a victim. Watchii g
; his chance, he thus addressed him after
; looking him over for a few minutes :
“I —I —l—te—te—ll you wha —wha—
what, mister you're a ni—ni—utcely dress
led chap, but I’ll bet you bain t gut whole
I sii—sh—shirt on your back.’’
I’ll cover that bet,’’ quickly replied the
{ stranger.
; The money was plased in the land-lord's
; hands, and the victim began to disrobe.
' Alter taking off his coat Joe began laugh
' as did the crowd.
“Ho—ho—-hold on, mister. You've lost
already. //<«// your shirt is in/rowt.'’
“Just wait until I show you,” replied
the stranger, taking off hi.; vest and show
ing a tr/io/r shirt, nicely folded under his
,*us[>eiiders.
