THE LYING DONKEY.
One of Gen. Lew waIIsce's FavorIte Little
Tales.

Tales.
This is credited as one of the gener-
ais Turkish jokes: There lived in
Stamboul Turkey, a well-to-do Turk
named lsmail Hassam. He did not
have the eloquence of our Ingalls, nor
the imagination of Rider Haggard,
but he was endowed with a ready ORR
entail wit that stood him well in hand
when he was in tight place. neigh
Dor called upon Ismail one day and
wanted to borrow his donkey to use an
hour lsmail made a low salaam, and
said:
'Neighbor. ! am sorry, but my boy
started ON the donkey an hour ago TO
Scutari. BY now he is gaily trotting
over the hills far from the sacred pre-
cincts of Stamboul."
just as Ismail finished his speech, a
donkey's loud bray was heard in the
stable. which was under the same roof
as Ismairs house, but in the rear. The
neighbor said
"Ah, hear your donkey bray"
Ismail protested that his neighbor's
ears were deceived and that the noise
was not donkey's bray. Then the
donkey. which was supposed to be jog
ging along toward Scutari, prayed
twice loudly. 1t was too much, and the
neighbor cried:
"Oh. that is your donkey, Ismail;
Allah help me, can now borrow
him"
Then Ismail said: (Which do you
elieve is lying, the donkey or me?'
The neighbor had to give Ismail the
,enefit of the doubt, and went away
