known all over it by the name Of Judge l..
lie kept store and saw mill and was always
sure 10 have the best Of a bargain on bis side,
hy whi-h means he had gained an ample
flrlane; and some did not hesitate to call
hiH tile biggest rascal in the world. He
was very conccited, withal, and used to brag
of his business capacity, when any one was
near TO listen One rainy day as quite a
number were seated around the store, he
began as usual, to tell Of his great bargains,
aud at last wound up With the expression:
Nobody has ever cheated me, nor they
ean't neither
Judge said an old man Of the company,
i ge cheated you more than you ever did
me-
How SO, said the Judge.

your pile down by the mill the night before,
and the next day sold it to you. The next
night drew it back home, aud sold 1t to
you The next day, and so ! kept on until
you had bought your own log Of me twenty

Judge, running to his book and examining
