Anecdote; --Sometime between the wears
1912 and IL, when considerable luminosity
existed between the people of Canada and
tie States, and when some of the British SUBJ
jects, who were dressed with little brief
authority" looked upon the. Yankees as but
little better than brutes, the following is said
to have taken place at the custom house at
st. Johns. -
Yankee of considerable dimensions en-
tered the Office and informed the officer that
he wished to enter his load and receive pass
port. The officer cast a sarcastic look ut
him, and said that it was customary for peo-
pie when they entered his office to receive
passports to take off their hats, and requested
him to do so instantly.
No, thank YOU said the Yankee, Il paid
four dollars for that hat to keep nv head and
and ears warm
You impairment puppy says the officer,
working himself into considerable of a pas
sion, how dare you insult me Offwith your
hat Immediately

After several orders of similar kind, ac-
companied with curses and threats, which
met with no better success, he stepped M to
him and gave his hat blow that sent II to
the adjacent corner of the room. The YAM
kee paid no attention to this, but waited till
ne had received his passport, folded and de-
posted it safely within his wallet and was
ready to pursue his journey, when turning to
the officer he requested him to pick up his
hat and place it on his head.
The officer, much wroth, ordered him to,
leave the office or he might get into trouble.
for he did not often make words with men of
his description.
say mister says the Yankee, you mast
pick up my hat and that too in juss one min
ute's time, or feel the weight of these death
na0uls, shaking his fists rather nearer his
lordshiP's face than was agreeable.
The officer raved and sWore all to no DUR,
pose, and threatened to cane him if he didn't
depart.
Mister says the Yankee, time flies kind
er fast and at the same time beginning TO
inhibition his coat, sand you had better Be
going after the hat
After several more threats, which had the
desired effect upon his opponent and the time
set being nearly expired, he sneaked off and
picked up the hat and offered it to the owns
er; but he, was not satisfied with that, and
ordered him to place it on his head precisely
as ne found it. The officer hesitated, but
seeing the determination of the Yankee, he
set 1t upon his head, and was about to depart.
when he was collared aid ordered to place
it as he found it.
Here says the Yankee, tuck this ear un-
der, now the other one, pull it down little
more in front, &C. All Of which orders the
officer reluctantly fulfilled. There sir, that's
about right, says the farmer, and now friend.

good advice; never NEEDLE with Yankees.
