HE PROMISED NOTHING.
As the result of a wager the following advertisement was published in a French newspaper:— *1 promise nothing! I engage to perfc.!t:i i othing! But send me if. 50c. in postage stamps. Perhaps there is a little surprise in store for you. Who knows? Address F.D.. Post Office.’ The impudence and apparent candour of this cool appeal to the public met with every success. Stamps rained in for several days, so that the winner of the yager was able to hand over a considerable sum to a local charity, after which he told the story in the newspaper, so that the dupes might know what had become of their money.—‘Tit-Bits.’
