One Of che Heavy weig hiss.

A stranger with no guile in his face
and NO Overcoat ON his shoulders, wan
dered into clothing store in New
port, the other day, and asked ii he
could be fitted in spring overcoat.
The proprietor promptly answered in
the affirmative. "You speak very
positive" replied the stranger. "I'm
bigger than You take me for" The
stOrekeeper was still confident that he
had coats that would answer. "I'm q
pretty heavy man." said the stranger.
II will bet you five dollars that you
can't guess my weight within one
hundred pounds" The man was not
particularly large, and this astounding
challenge entirely diverted the seller
of clothing from the ordinary c0urAe
Of his business. He took the wager,
named his guess-about . hundred
and sixty pounds-the money was put
up In the hands of q third party, and
all started off for pair of scales, and
the stranger balanced 200 pounds of
weights. The storeman looked sad
and puzzled. With smile that was
childlike and bland the stranger took
the money and walked of without
saying anything more about tho over
coat. 1t has since been learned that
this man wears q lead jacket, and has
been making an honest living by play
ing his scurvy trick on unsuspecting
dealers in clothing. He came from

OF all the freaks of the telegraph,
this is one of the most laughable: A
young man, when about to start for
his new parish, was unexpectedly de-
layed by the inability of his Presby-
terry to ordain him. In order to ex.
plain his non.arrival at the appointed
time, he sent the following telegram
to the Deacons of the Church: "Pres.
bytery lacked . quorum to ordAin."-
In the course Of Its journey the mes
sage got strangely metamorphosed,
and it reached the astonished deacons
in this shape: "Presbytery tackled q
worm on to Adam" The sober church
officers were sorely discomposed and
mystified, but after grave consulta-
ton, concluded that 1t was the minis
tors facetious way of announcing that
he had been married, and accordingly
provided lodgings for two instead OF
one.-Scotch paper.
