THE CHATHAM LIAR.

A Wonderful Man, But He Had to
Prove His Prowsss.
Dear! dear!" exclaimed George H..
Pegram to a covey of railroad birds,
chow many liars there are in this
world any how. Every small and
large town has its star liar, and my,
old town had one. My old town was
Chatham, Mass. There was, when I
was boy, an old fellow by the name
of George Sanders, who wore without
an effort the silver star of champion
long distance liar for the town and
,neighboring vicinity. This fellow had
been, according to himself, lost fifty
times in great ocean wrecks. He had
wandered naked and starving up and
down cannibal islands and had been
rescued in a most providential manner.
Sharks and whales had vainly har-
bored designs against his life and in
variably he had led them a boot ess
chase. In doing all this he had also
established his star reputation. One
day George came into the town drag
ging after him an immense Goldfish.
He stopped at all the houses, he was so
well known, and, calling out the in
.habitants, pointed with pride to the
fish and said: Now if I had told you
people I had caught a fish of that size
you wouldn' t have believed it. George
knew his reputation we'll and he knew
that to gain the actual credit for his
satch that he would have to work for
it. 1t always tickled me to think that
the biggest liar in town should cat h
the biggest fish and then be compelled
to drag it all around town to prove it.
