erly.looking woman of forty-fve entered O
Woodward avenue clothing store having a
mans linen duster on her arm, and when ap'
preached by salesman she said:
"Some one in here sold this duster to my
son yesterday"
"Yes, ma am, sold it myself" replied the
clerk, as he looked at the garment.
"Did you tell my son that this duster could
be worn either to picnic, funeral, bridal
party or quarterly meeting"

"Did you tell him it made good fy-blan'

"Only dollar, ma ami"
"Well, when John came home last night
and brought the duster, and told me all you
said, made up my mind that he must have
been drunk, and was leetle afraid he stole
the garment. I'm glad it's all right"

he was here yesterday we have discovered
that the duster is great conductor of sound,

TAKING TOLL.


In the door of the mill stood Richard Lee;
White as an image of snow was he,
From his heavy boots to his bearded lips,
From the crown of his hat to his finger tips.
Now, slowly jogging along thestreet, ~,
Drove Farmer Brown with his grist OF wheat,
And with him Bessie fresh as the spring,
And ripe as the fruits the fall months bring.
While the farmer drove about the town,
Young Lee ground the wheat and bolted down
With many glance at the maiden fair,
Who sat by the door in the oaken chair.
At last he called her in shouting tones,
And she stood by the whirling, rumbling stones
And watched the grain as it ebbed so still,
Till the farmer came, but the noise ofthe mill
Drowned the sound of his feet, over the hopper
good deal closer than he thought was proper
Two heads were bent; and when Richard Lee
Saw him standing there, he stammered: "1.see
That-is'' (then he paused and shufded his feet,
81 think there are weevis in your wheat"
But the farmer smiled and said: "Well, Bess,
OF two evils always choose the less."
And the maiden looked confused and meek;
With patch of hour.on one cheek
Still the old man didn't take it i'll,
For he knew young Richard owned the mill.
But he mused as they slowly rode away:
"Well I've been to mill now many day
Say forty odd years-but, bless my sou!
That chap beats all of them taking TOLL"
