CHATS YOU'RE QUESTION.

One cold winter evening knot of vii

stove of country store, in Western
town, warming their fingers by the stove

smith, and the barber, and the constable,

After they had drunk cider and
smoked cigars to their hearts content,
and when all the current topics of the
day had been exhausted, the schoolmas-
ter proposed new kind of game to re-
lieve the monotony of the evening"
Each one was to PROFOUND riddle to
his neighbors; and whoever should ask
a question that he himself could not
solve, was to pay the cider reckoning for
the entire party. - s-
The idea took at once; and the school
master, "by virtue of his Office" called
on Dick D., whom most folks thought
fool, and few knave, to put the first
question.

out his words, and, looking ineffably dull
and stupid, you've seen where squirrels
dig their holes, haven't you? Can any
of you tell me the reason why they never
throw out any dirt ?" @
This was a "poser; )" and even the
" master" had to give it up"
1t now devolved on Dick to explain
"The reason is" said Dick, " that
they first begin at the bottom of the
hole |" -t .s
''Stop! stop!" cried the schoolmaster,
startled out of all prudence by so mon
strous an assertion; " Pray, hoo0 does the
Squirrel get there?" s'a 'iie
