AFTER-DINNER STORIES.

There was an old Dutchman, farmer,
thrifty and prosperous, who had been care
fully saving for many years. Finally he was
elected to the legislature. 1t was a peculiarly
profitable session. There were several rail-
road charters up for consideration. Hans
served faithfully, never broke silence, and
always voted, and after the legislature had
adjourned surprised his friends at home by
laying the foundation OF $4,000 house.
while there were rumors of 80, 900 bank
deposit.
Have you had a legacy, Hans?" asked
neighbor at last. "Oh. no." was the reply.
Il have yust been saving leetle."
But how could you manage to save $780,
900 on three months salary of 50 day.h
"yell," responded Hans, complaeently,
dat was very easy; it was yust dis way.
