Sc A Bostonian abroad, sitting
down to the table d'hote surrounded,
as he supposed, by foreigners, was sur
prised and delighted to hear an appar-
enly bluff Briton ask the waiter to
bring some crackers" Turning un.
hesitatingly on the gentleman who is.
sued the order, he asked:
"When did you leave Boston?"
Confirming his nationality by answer
ing the question with another, the in
terroeated said:
How did you know I came from
Boston?'' 4f
To which the first Athenian re.
spondsd, because they don't have
crackers anywhere else"
And the result was q pleasant &C
quaintance between two fellow-citizens.
He lounged up to the Office counter,
picked up toothpick. and as he pried
away at his molars he said to the clerk
Must be hard-musn't it?-for q
man to be buried in trance state ?"
Yes'r," was the brief reply.
"That's all TN afraid Of" contin-
ued the confidential dead-beat. I'm
afraid I'll be buried before I'm really
dead"
"I guess not" answered the clerk
the law regulates that"
The law? HowP
It prescribes how long the body
shall hang before being cut down"
The man softly laid the toothpicl
down on the counter, and went over te
