The Gmergeacy Clerk
I ran across a clerk hero who la
worth his weight In gold or at least
lu gold bricks said a guest at one of
the hotels If I was in business In
New Orleans I would get that man If
I had to chloroform nnd abduct him
Tho way I discovered his merits was
thla I was standing In a storo down
tho street waiting for my wlf to de
cido what sho didnt want when
tailor made girl walked up and naked
to see somo golf clubs Tho young
man behind the counter showed her
several and In a few moments sho
found one that suited her and went
away with It under her arm
Aro there many players In New
Orleans V I asked after she bad gone
Oh yes quite a number replied
tho clerk affably
Have you golf links here I con
tinued getting Interested
A look of real pain crossed the
young mans face I am sorry he
said very Borry but the fact ia wa
sold our bast golf links thla morning
nowover wo havo ordered a new
stock ho added brightening up and
they will be here in a few days Which
