Sighting a Trunk


Old Governor III -----i-- has many
laugLable stories told of him. |
remember sealing him once in Il
state OF mind usually called wrath.
The circumstances were as fol-
lows: 4
The Governor, returning homo
from "a tower to the noI thern part
Of the state, put up for the night
at y hotel in the floarishing and
beautiful village OF Princeton, stu
ated on the Fox river. The next
morning, after arriving at LONE,
lie discovered that he had left his
trunk at the hotel, twenty miles
away. lie just then saw one of
his neighbors going to Princeton,
aud in his most pompous style re-
quested him to 'call at the hotel
and see if there was not a little
trunk there belonging to him,
Yes, with pleasure replied the
kind and obliging neighbor.
When ready to return, he found
his wagon heavily loaded; the
trunk proved to be o large ard
well filed travelling trunk, quite
heavy, and 1T was quite certain, on
the principle of anteeedent probaI
bilities, that he would never get a
cent for his trouble; so, seeing that
1T was safe st the hotel, be drove
home. As he approached the resiI
dence of the Governor the latter
went out and opeded the gate, ex'
pecting the trunk would be taken
in and lett at the door. The far
nlar told hin he was not coming
IN. ,i
But says the Governor, did
you not get my trunk?'
NO, you didn't ask me to get it.
Did not? What would you call
it asked your thundered the exl
asperated Governor.
why, you asked me to look and
see if it was there. / did SO, and
you will find il safe there any day
by just driving over to Princeton.
Good day, Governor, good day
Suffice it to say, the Governor
did not ask that neighbor to do
any more errands for him.

told the BOY that lie had betrcr go

You see l never heard of snakes
