sauce. For years ate it out of regard

Pumpkin pie is quite as big fraud.

Called the Bet, but Got Left.

Some years ago al English engineer, now
prominent in the Official management of
one of our great railroads, was superin-
tending the construction of new road in
Pennsylvania. After supper one evening
he strolled into the ''seItin room" of the
country tavern. where some twenty men
were seated around the stove, smoking and
chatting
A regular down east Yankee was ex-
pounding the remarkable strength of the
arch, its use and application in mechanics,
and illustrating his remarks by paving a
half bushel measure.
''You amt no idee," said he, chow
strong the arch is, if We set it right-if ye
know how. Now there The egg; nothin's
got a prettier arch than the egg, and IL
you set it right it's mighty strong. Why,
kin set an egg on this floor in such shape
that ye can't break it with this half bushel
measure"
A general murmur Of su~e5'ing disbelief
ran around the room, but the Yankee was
game.
Il said kin, and kin, aud I'll bet the
drinks for the crowd OH It,"
The engineer hated a Yankee, and though
a reserved man, he could not permit Yam
kee to bluff a whole party with such an
arrogant and preposterous statement, so
he quietly said:
II will take that bet
An egg was brought in from the kitchen
and handed to the Yankee. He took it
and stood it upon the floor in the corner OF
the room, where the measure couldn't
reach.
The engineer did not even attempt to fill
square corner with a round measure, but
paid for the drinks and retired, sadder and
wiser.-Cassier's Magazine
