ton, and still nobody came to claim the
seat, whereupon the deep chested agricul-
turist turned and said "Sir, when you told
me that this seat was occupied you told me
lie"-such was his plain language. 81
never sit near liar if l can avoid it; l
would rather stand up"
Then appealing to another party he SAT-

WHAT HE THoUaHT.-A few days since,
says Michigan paper n specimen of hu-
manity, chuck full of fashionable drink,
took seat in the express train at Jackson
and quietly awaited the advent of the CON
ductor, who appeared on time and reliev.
ed the travellers hat of his ticket without
any remarks. On his return the traveller
button-holed him and inquired:
Conductor, how far to Pleon2"
"Twenty miles"
"That's wot thot."
At the next station the traveller stopped
him and again inquired
Conductor, how far to Manch'ter p"
"Twenty miles"
"That's wot tho't."
At Manchester the traveller stopped him
the third time and said:
conductor, how far to Tecumseh 2"
"Twenty miles"
That's wot tho't."
AS the train left Tecumsch the traveller
exhausted the patience of the conductor,
and the following dialogue explains the
result"
"Conductor, how far to Adri'n?"
The conductor threw himself upon his
dignity and remarked
See here, my friend, do you take me for
fool 2"
The traveller stuck to the text and remark
ed:
"That's wot tho't."
The conductor joined the passengers in
hearty laugh, and concluded to allow
his questioner to "tho't" as he pleased.
