TRIANGULAR COURTSHIP
In a ' certain township on the East Coast reside a banker and a druggist. The sister of the banker is desperately enamoured of the druggist, while the druggist and the banker are both fatally smitten with another young lady. This leads to a variety of amusing complications. During the day the man of the pestle and mortar has his innings, but the banker takes his turn in the evening. Occasionally there is a coolness between' the parties whenever the fair object of their rival affections is seen passing the dispensary under the esoorr. of the banker. Then the man of pills and potions retaliates by cavorting around with, the banker's sister. Things are said to have come to such a pass that moneybags threatens to put the screw on Esculapius, while the latter says he will give his rival a dose of some nauseous compound.
