A hat-footed, old-fashioned Western
merchant, hailing from country store in
Michigan, was buying stock in New York,
and the firm took advantage Of the occa
sion to make inquiries concerning some Of
the customers around him. When they
asked about Smith, OF Cashvillc, he repli-
ed
'Smith! Yes, he's in trade vet, but he's
just married second wife, and she's 60
through his wealth like saltpetre. He'll
fail in less'n six months"
"How about Jones. Of your town?'
"Jones! Well, Jones is pegging along
after the old style, and he's bought him a
bicycle, and everybody says he'll go to the
wall in year"
"And Brown Il Son are they all right?"
Brown a Sonl WALL they may keep
along till spring, but doubt it, Old
Brown has got so nigh.sighted that he
can't tell sheep pelt from coon-skin,
and the boy is dead stuck on widow wo-
man who never wears anything less than
sixdollar stockings"
"But Davis is doing good trade, isn't
he?"
Davis! Wall, pooty fair, but he won't
last. He rented the upper part to a
Chicago milliner, and she broke up two
families and caned preacher. Every
body blames Davis, and his sales last
week only footed up pound Of salaratus
and a washboard."
"Well, you are the only customer out
there, and Of course, you are all right"
"Me! Wall, I'm oil right just now, but
things may change. My wife belongs to

said the deacon, he's done his
best; an nobody could do more.
The deacon took upon himself the
duty and pleasure OF making
headboard for his deceased partner, and Of
painting thereon suitable inscription.
For hours did the deacon rack his brain
for passage of Scripture which would
be appropriate; and he finally painted on
the headboard the verse;
"Greatcr love hath no man than this.
that man lay down his life for his
friends"
But while it was drying, aud the deacon
was absent for few moments, some heter-
lox person strolled in, read the inscription
md seizing tho paint brush, wrote:--
"How bout feller that savos Injin ba-
Jies that hain't his friends?"
And thus reads the inscription to this
lay.
