Too PooR-Brother Moore, OF the Rural New
Yorker, was sitting in his office one afternoon
some years ago, when farmer friend came in
and said
" Friend Moore, like your paper, but times
are so hard cannot pay for it,"
" Is that so, friend Jones? am very sorry to
hear that you are so poor and if you are so
hard run will give You my paper"
"Oh, no ! | cannot take it ms gift"
Well, then, let's see how we can fix it, You
raise chickens, | believe"
Yes, few, but they don't bring anything,
hardly"
"Don't they? Neither does my paper cost
anything hardly. Now have a proposition to
make to you will continue Your paper and
when you go home you may select from your lot
one hen, and call her mine. Take good care OF
her and bring me the proceeds whether in eggs
or in chickens, and we will call it square"
"All right brother Moore !" and the old fell
low chuckled at what he thought was n capital
bargain. He kept the contract strictly, and at
the end of the year found that he had paid about
four prices for his paper. lie often tells the
joke on himself, and says he has never had the
face to say he was too poor to take paper since
that day.
