About ten days'ngo ' a very well drcssei young man , a smooth talker and very pleas ant fellow In niauirrcspectB , called upon thi ropresdntativo wholesale men and man ufacturers of Omaha and solicilci advcrlislhg for sa souveiijr prograu that was to be published for a bal to be given by the retail grocery clerks o Omaha. The procram was to be an elcgan affair , with lllumiriated cover , and. room fo a limited number , 6f advertisements. Tin names of many ofjthe well known clerks am re'tall grocers -of the city were glvei ns members of Jthc different committee that -tVoro'to ' have charge of the , bnU. HI ; advertising : rates were very .stiff , but thei the clerks could not afford to stand the ex pe'nso of the ball.atul they were'calling onlj upon the . moll1 lrom-whoijitheir jBinployers bought goods , soithoy felt thpy , , jvould bt suppoulcdin their work. The ' young mat said ho was cjorking for a erocortlown 01 Vinton stfedtHe wanted if5 for a hal page-in tllO'program.which wpulil huve abou ten pages for the morchantt to.advertisi their warei.andhelp n worthy cause am would have ton pages moro-for the progran committees and ; he like. It is doubtful if thi follow know what a snap he had. The hij jobbers fell over each other in their desire to get sjnco on the program and in the heart : of the retail clerks. In two days tlio sollcitoi had thirtjvsuckers on the list'and each o them was worth f5. tt- In afew days after the advertisement ! had1 been given another clerk called uj > oi the'advertisers with bills for the work. ; Hi had ono of the printed programs and it was a beauty. Everybody was satisiiod am every advertiser wanted one of the souvo nirs. The young man was sorry , but ho hac given all he started with away but the oni he carried , but he had provided for the advertisers vortisers and would send each of them a-fev dozen of the souvenirs to send to theli friends and customers in the country. This was eminently satisfactory and the sucker ; paid their bills with alacrity. . Of course but few , if any , of the big mot chants would attend the balland , It is doubt ful If the imposition would have been exposed posed for some time had not ono of the advertisers vortisers talked a little more than the other : with the second young man , the ono win collected the bills. The patron of the souvc nir swindle wanted to know where tin young man worked and was given the name of a jrroeor whom ho did not know. "Your boss don't buy any soap from mo , ' said the manufacturer. "No , " replied the young man'ho has no boin in business long , but will handle you goods after this , tlo has told mo that hi was going to do business with you after you liberality in patronizing the clerks , Coim up some day-soon aud I'll see that you get ai order for a starter. " and the youmr mai gave a number on South Sixteenth street which the manufacturer entered in his noti bodk. That sumo afternoon the dealer ii soai > drove up'town and started to make i call upon the now grocer. Ho looked tor th number and found it In the center of tin railroad tracks under the Sixtecnlh atrce vladUct. Then ho wool , There wen twenty of the biggest business men in th same boat with him , however , and as ho hai nothing particular on his mind yesterday h was calling up his follow suckers by tclcphun and asking them if they atlou'dcd the hal given by the grocery clerks at Washlngtoi ball , and if they did , what did they do aftu tlio ball was over ?
