while laboring under the impression that
he recognized likeness in their faces 70
his wife's aunt's cousin, met his match on
one of the roads in this vicinity lately.
He sat down in half of the seat, the other
half of which was occupied by pleasant
faced young lady. His first question was :
"Pardon me, miss, but is your name
James? have cousin of that name,
whom you greatly resemble"
"No, sir" was the reply, my name is
not james. But, pardon me, is your name
Zinc or Copper -
"Zinc or Copper? No, ma'am,' said
the astonished man. "What led YOU to
suppose | had such name
Excuse me-" was the quiet reply,
" but | thought sure you must be first
cousin to a brass foundry"
The man fell over two seats and kicked
a bird cage half way down the car in his
haste to get into the smoker, while the
young lady smiled gentle smile behind
her handkerchief 1t was a proof of the
old adage that witty answer turneeh
