In order to Equitably adjust our story, we will coolly, | calmly and dispassionately relate : the banrowing details, as told us by a sorrowing friend: A few days since, two ubiquitous, albeit versa | tile, life insurance men who have been making their headquarteis in our midst and giving the glad hand where it promised the most good took a pilgrimage into the country to sanctify their calling, and inci dentally to earn their salary. The day was sultry, or promised to be | so, hence the gentlemen provided themselves with no heavier apparel than “blue ribbons” and pleasant smiks(?) wherewith to make great conquests. Having learned the art ’ of ingratiating themselves into the confidence of borny-handed tillers j of the soil by close communion with would-be servants of the dear peo ple, they were prepared to make tne most of any opportunity that might present itself. Spying a number of men engaged in moving a build ing, they saw (W)right here an op tunity for glory and likewise ducats. Both in{Ivlein)ing to the same idea, they at once joined the force and soon it was a “moving” time with mem as wen. as me day passed, “smiles” were exchanged with the workmen until there was a dearth of good cheer and their hearts sank within them. The shades of night began falling; still there was no let j np; no promise of an even-tide meal, and still they worked heroic ady and with desperate desire to do I or die. It was only at 9 o’clock in the evening that time was called, and a little while later might have been seen driving into town, up back alleys to a livery stable, two half starved, dispirited, mud-begrimed, woe begone,crestfallen, disgusted in surance projectors, each swearing j vengeance on the other, if the story . got out. They had worked hard, : had not eaten a bite, given their j “smiles” for naught, and returned empty-handed to the bosom of their—hotel. And the grangermaii| chuckles softly the while. . - -.-. — ■ — During the Carni val the Model Restau rant will be open day and night. Meals at all hours and at regu lar prices. To Be First Class.
