He Didn't Want to Get Rich.

Mr.. Garfield went to have little talk
with his grocer a morning Or SO ago. He
began as follows:
II bought quart of cider here the
other day."
"Was it good2"
eyes, sir; it was frst-class, and l
measured it, too.
"Was it all right2" inquired the dealer,
turning little red in the face.
mo, sir; the measure was wrong.
You gave me little too much-about a
cupful over. And then the other day I
got pound Of coffee here. I took that
home and weighed it, too"
CHOW much did it weigh, sir?"
"Just pound to hair. also order
ed peck of potatoes yesterday. meas
ured them, and what do you think!'
II don't know, I'm sure, said the groc-
or breathlcssly.
"There was exactly peck. You have
dealing with you. The week before last,
when | ordered mackerel you sent me
two stuck together"
II never make mistakes in my own
favor" murmured the grocer as he rubbed
his hands together and chuckled with
pleasure.
II know you don't, know you don't
and that's W here you make fool of your
self. l have noticed all along that you
are perfectly square, SO I thought I'd just
step down and give you some advice be-
fore you ruin yourself and family. If
you are or pretend to be a business man
| and want to make money you must re
form; turn over new leaf; convert your
| self to the system of giving short weight.
You'd like to live in snowy cottage
with lilac bushes inside the fence and a
cast-iron representation of Dolores squirt
ing crystalline gems up in the air,
| wouldn't you?"
"Indeed I should, sir.''
"And wouldn't you like to dress your
wife in style, have a carriage for her, and
| enable your daughters to be educated in
| Europe and marry counts, and send YOUR
son to college and make Photographer
of him, eha''
"That would be NICE
"Well, it's in your power t" do these
things. You may as we'll as not hold
your head up like Congressman. Now,
fourteen-ounce pieces are marked two
pounds, and other weights in proportion,
and should like to supply you on con-
dltion that you won't use them in max
ing up my things"
II don't think I care for any to-day,
sir"
"None to-day! None to-day! Here
come and offer to PROSTATE you with
wealth and happiness, and you won't al
low me to! Throwing away golden
opportunity when its rammed right
under your nose! Good morning, l have
no more time to waste; good morning"
Then he SteDDed out.

NO YOU DON'T.

Mr.. 10. -Beckley stepped out on the
ample porch of the Agricultural Club.
He looked forth with disgust upon the
dense fog in which London was enveloped,
and then gazed with delight upon tick
ct for Calais which he held in his hand.
Mr.. 10. Beckley had an exceedingly ru-
raj air. Large and brawny and grizzled,
his joints all clumsily developed, he look
ed like a backwoodsman. Being a bache-
lor, also, his toilet lacked that adjustment
which wifely touch or suggestion i'm
parts, and intensified his rural air.
But that Mr.. Beckley possessed intelli-
gence was proven by his wide-awake air,
and by the fact that he had brought no
baggage to Europe, except the little
satchel now depending by strap from
his shoulder. ....-...
f. The honorable Felix Plimpot, NJ. p,
stepped out on the porch with him. -.
"Bon Voyage, Mr.. Beckley. When you
get back to America, pray forward us
your articles in the Spade and Hoe, when
ever they appear ri
"Good-bye, Mr.. Plimpot. The best
time I've had in England had on, your

ton comes up in Parliament again, hope

The two shook hands heartily, and Mr..
10. Bcckley Departed !. ~. -.
! Ere he had gone half block a seedy
gentleman in gray approached, and slap
ped him Familiarity on the shoulder.
"How do'you do, Barry? When did
we get in FROM Ploverton?'
'You are mistaken in your man, sir,''
said Mr., Beckley.
"What! Amt this Barry Baxter?'
"No, sir. My name is Beckley"
~ beg pardon. mistook you for BaA-

"Near Springfield, Massachusetts,
"Ah, yes; my brother has been there.

"With my family9" replied Joe Beck

"Ah?" Well, sir, if you see my bro

And the seedy man in gray walked

Mr.. Beckley looked after him in some
surprise, then turned and went on.
