and asked him in turn if Mr.. Henshaw
was the member of congress from that
district.
mo, sab. Jim hain't no member of
congress-" he replied.
Member of the Legislature, perhaps? ."
mo, sab; Jim never went to the leg
islature.''
'1s he a judge or an alderman?" I
persisted.
mo, sab, he hain't," was the steady
reply. Hes jest Hon. Jim Henshaw
and nobody else''
But the term is generally applied to
men of prominent political position.
How do you make Mr.. Henshaw an hon
orable?"
Wall, sab, it wasn't two vars ago
thathe shot mad dog which had bitten
four bosses. Yes, sab, shot that dog
as dead as a nall
But that would hardly give him the
title"
Hold on, sah," he continued with
wave of his hand, "Jim Henshaw was
the first man to diskiver coal in this
county,
"Well?"
"And he caught three men setting
fire to the schoolhouse at Growers Cor

"And he contributed 500 to git the

dog, take off warts from a human bein'
in seven DAYS. and if thar's ANYBODY
we're who saws he hain't an honorable
that pusson better git down off his boss
and git some sense thumpcd into his

After little reflection agreed with
the farmer that Mr.. Henshaw was fully
entitled to the appelIation, and he grew
good-natured, and offered me almost
lalf plug of tobacco at parting.-Chi-
