I am convinced that the man who ha*
just left here is the man to buy of. Why,
he sold, .a safe in New York city to u
large produce merchant who had as i*
pet a little bantam rooster, and this little
rooster got into that safe, and the safe
was locked up. Thit night the buildihg
burned, and it was a terrible hot lire.
In a few days, when they were able to
get at the safe and open it, what do you
thiuk?”
“Well, I suppose,” said the siife-ggent,
" that the rooster was cooked.”
" No, sk; that little rooster came out
and erowed. ” —

“ Well, now,” says safe-agent No. 2,
“that pnte me in mind of a safe I sold to
a man in Philadelphia. He had a little
dog, and the dog got locked up in the
safe, and the building took fire. The
outside of the safe was red-hot, but they
went to work and opened that safe; the
combination worked to a charm, and
