WHAT DOES TIE BUSINESS.

They were holding an outdoor ward
meeting the other ight, and a speaker
had Just commenced to warm up to his
work, when stranger with all his worldly
"duds in an old sheep-skin on his back,
boots gone, hat going and dyed-in. the
wool-tramp air about him, halted on the
outskirts OF the crowd. The speech soon
caught him, and he began 20 applaud. At
the end of every sentence he clapped his
hands and roared like fog horn. No
not, the stranger never failed to come
down with the applause, and he carried a
good share of the crowd with him. After
the speaker had finished, and while he was
wiping his heated brow, the tramp ap-
preached him and said
THAT ere speech was one of the best l
ever heard in all my life.
"Ah? I'm glad it pleased you"
'Pleased me Why, it Lifted me right
off'n my feet | tell you, you're born
orator, and just wish l could stay in this
town and hear you make a speech every
night.
Yes, wish you could"
"But can't l am on my way West.
/ sh IL, however, think Of your speech a
hundred times day. can feel the cleo
trieity of it yet, and-say, can't you lend
me half dollar to help me on p
"Why, | don't know you. Why should
lend you half dollar: :"
"Oh, come, now-don't try to ride any
high horses over me. You know how loud
I hollered, and you know as well as do
that if l hadn't put in my best ticks you'd
have fallen as fat as a single You are
great orator, sir, and that was great
speech, but if you don't know that holler-
ing is what does the business, you'd better
hang right up"
The orator pondered over the matter for
few seconds, and then probably concluded
that the reasoning was sound, as he passed
over the money Detroit Free Press.

"Talk about the Pilgrim fathers I"
sneeringly cried a young man at the
lyceum 81 guess the people who praise
them so highly wouldn't find it very
pleasant to be locked up with one of these
same Pilgrim fathers, notwithstanding
their devotion to principle and all that. "
81 must agree with the gentleman" said a
mild looking man, rising to reply; 81
think it would be far from pleasant to be
locked up with one Of the old Pilgrims. "
He paused here moment, while the young
mans eyes danced with gratified pride and
a smile illumlned his beardless face. Then
he vent on ''Not because the Pilgrim
would be so disagreeable company, but be-
cause it would be unpleasant to be locked
up" Then the young man felt faint, and
was obliged to seek the outside air soon
after the tittering began. IL Boston Tran
