THE BUTT END.

A farmer once hired VermOnter to
assist In drawing logs. When log was
to lift, the Yankee always contrived to
receive the smallest end for which the
farmer chastised him, and told him al
ways to take the butt end. Dinner came,
and with 1t a sugar-loaf Indian pud-

portion of the largest part. and giving
the farmer a wink, exclaimed, Always
