t> THE ALBANY DAILY HERALD: 8ATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1906. TRIALS OF fHE NEW HARDWARE CLERK. A ED. R. ® CLAYTON JONES. J I \ Attorneys-at-Law : And Real Estate. Washerwomen His Fruitless Search for "Spade-Han dle 8eed" and “Left-Handed Pouket Saw Mills.” Strike There Is an unwritten law In a cer tain Albany hardware store which re quires that every new employe be In itiated. i The Initiation may occur bn the first day of the novitiates's service, at the end of a week, .or even after a month has passed. But‘whenever It does oc cur, It Is apt to be something rich, Several Weeks ago an ambitious young man with the first crop of down on his upper Up secured a Job in this store, j but his Initiation was deferred until day before yesterday. He was standing near the front en trance when a strange negro entered. He carried, a note In his hand, and handed it to the new clerk, who opened It and read as follows: “Please send by bearer one-half dozen spnde-lmndle seed. Important “A. M. C .” The future hardware merchant frowned and scratched hts head. "Spade-handle seed? What the mis chief Is a spade-handle seed?” He went back to where one of the older clerks was busying himself over a keg of nails. “Where do you'keep the spade-handle seed?” he queried. The older clerk said he thought the last one had keen sold, but told the seeker after knowledge to look on the top shelf directly opposite the second show-case. But there were no spade- handle seed there. The new employe sallied forth to two other hardware stores In search of the elusive spade- handle seed, and finally had to turn the order down, though with appar ent great reluctance. That same afternoon another negro with another note appeared. The new clerk opened the note and read: “Send by bearer one left-handed pocket saw mill, with best net cash price. V. C. C." There was more trouble. “Left- handed pocket saw-mill! What all apes a hardware store sell, anyhow?” * The obliging senlbr clerk was ap pealed to again. “You’ll have to buy It out,” was the latter’s direction. J. '. Neither of the other hardware stores had any left-handed pocket saw mills In stock, and the persevering youth visited a wholesale supply house. Here he was told to go out to the machine shop, a mile from town, where some left-handed saw mills were just being finished up. He puUed his hat down over his ears, set his teeth together and made a bee-line for the shop, where he was told to “come back next day: hot cjhlte ready yet.” Whether he went is not recorded.
