Loses Twenty Dollars.
The other afternoon, when the shadows
wesaikrowing longer IN the streets and
the d1yswas taking on q somber hue, q
little group of politicians sat in the city
hall regalihg. each ether with sye stories
Of ye olden time, Amdng those reeled
i oH, Yves the following regarding an ex-
: spegience Of William a. Seward, who was
then governor Of the Empire State. It
seems that while travelling around
through the rural districts and making
sure that his political fences had no very
! bad breaks in them, he came one even
ing to the humble abode Of . farmer.
It was too far from the town where
bewas stepping to go back that night.
and so he asked permission tostop there.
This was scheerfully grsnted, and after.
paItalsmg Of IN old fashioned country
supper the. old farmer invited his, un-
known snest to take ride across the
country with him. he having an errand
/ TO do in neighhoring village. With
all the snavity for which Mr.. Seward
-was, justly famed. he accepted the invi-
fation.sand as they drove along in the
gathering twilight he entertained the
old farmer witI,znlI manner Of campaign
ayrnieUces npf, stories. ~
The old farmers native shrewdpess
caused hin, to wonder why the stranger
should show him 80 much attention, and
ct last he blurtAd ont:
ssSay. be ycu hook agentT"
aNet that j know o.. : was the gov
srnor.s smiling rejosnder. IS
perhaps you're a lightning rod man.
jhY'
,ssNp, DIR; yon are wrong again."
rhal you're q sewing machine man"
No, sir."
.sWell, then, by gosh, You must be
politician ~
Mr.. Seward at once acknowledged the
soft impeachment, and then informed
the inqnisitive old fellow that he. was
tie governor of the state Of New York.
This qaleted the old fellow for awhile,
butat bsthe could hold in no longer, and
she quietly informed 1lr. Seward that he
thought ne was q lar. Mr.. Seward,
however, insisted on the truth of his
story, aid the dispute finally resulted In
aWaser OF twenty dollars. The money
was placed in an old lantern that was
cSxsiad ID the wagon to be used in case
OF emergency, and it was agreed that
the stperson they met was to decide
as to atiaa Ownership of the money.
Should he fail to recognize Mr.. Seward
as governor the former was 10 win, and
Z vice versa.
The test soon came. Driving by the
shop Of wayside blacksmith, the pro-
prietor himself stood in the doorway.
The farmer stopped his wagon and Mr..
Seward said:
aMy friend, my. veracity has been
questioned by the gentleman with me,
and should be pleased to have him con-
ginced as to who am. Will you be
kind enough to tell himT
The man Of Drawn and muscle peered
at Mr.. Seward long and earnestly. Then
turning TO the farmer he said, in awe
struck tones:
.He's all right, Bill l know hilnl
He's Thurlcw Weed, by goshi''
The farmer took tfls twenty dollars
and Mr.. Seward was poorer by that
4 amount than when he started out. Chi

A sorrowful Absentminded Man.

"A SorroWfui ADSentminded man.
While. luckily for the world-all
clever people are not absentminded,
nevertheless an absentminded person is
almost invariably clever person, and
very often is really intellectual man
or woman whose absurd alterations are
therefore all the more laughable and
conspicuous. One of our prominent
men who is noted for his urbanity and
easy way of dealing with 'the boys
had call week or two ago from a
local politician whose influence was
more or less important in his ward. AS
he was leaving, Mr.. accompanied
him into the hall. and picking up his
own brand new spring oyercoat, with a
polite "Let me aid you," helped the man
into it despite the latter's rather feeble
protestations.
"You will need it; the air is SO keen, "
said MIR. - blandly, as the man. ac-
cepting the situation, walked away,
doubtless thinking it delicate way Of
procuring vote. A few minutes after
ward Mr.. - discovered his mistake,
but his new eighty dollar top co.t was
gone forever.-New York Tribune.
