Had lem nj Last.

A young man from the "rural districts"
went 10 the Post Office, the other day, with
bank Eote, for dollars worth of postage
stamps. He was told that paper money was
not received. He went away, and shortly
returned with four Spanish quarters. "We
don't receive them now" said the attendant,
''for more than twenty cents apiece" The
country man thought Uncle Sam mighty par
licular, go he went away again, and obtained
dollar in cnppers. Now" said he, Oh re-
turning to the office and laying down his
''plle" at the window of the delivery, 81
guess can suit ye." The man inside looked
at the display of "specie currency" and
coolly said "we never take more than three
cents in copper at any one time; it is not q
legal tender above that sum-"
Tie counlryman looked al the composed
official for the space of minute ard halt
without stirring; and then he belched out
"Look here, you; amt you almighty kind
OF particular, for feers locked up in such a
jail as this 'ere? You don't take only three
cents in co2pers at time, hey? Well, then,
s'pose you give mo three cents worth of
stamps, anyhow" The official very politely
scut him off single stamp, and passed it
out, for which the connlryman laid down
three cents. He was about 10 pass away
when the latter cried out: "Look here, you !
Hold on That eres one time. Now, s'2ose
you gin me three cents worth more on 'em."
Uacle Sans clerk was not slow in discov.
ering that he had "caught Tartar" He
turned back To- the window. "How many
coppers have you gotW he asked. "Wall,
only about ninely-seven on 'em had a
hundred on 'em when begun" "Pass 'em
in! was the gruf reply. "Pass out your
stamps fust, and then will" sait Jonathan |;
"bu, reckon you don't ketch me agin."-
The stamps were passed out, the coppers
were handed over, when The countryman
went off, saying, 81 s'pose because feler
holds Office under Uncle Sam he thinks he's
smsTter'n's ell creation; but guess they larnt
somethn' that tme.n
