YANKEE BARGAIN DRIVER.
A Connecticut Farmer Gives a Les

A Connecticut Farmer Gives a Les

The farmers of Connecticut have not
lost any of the old-time Yankee cunning
for. which they have been noted since the
days of the thirteen original states. A

him that they were just as good bargain
drivers as ever. He tells the following
story:
In making out the papers for some
Brooklyn property, the signature of a
Connecticut farmer was wanting, and
decided to go to Mystic, small town
in the eastern part of the state The man
lived some distance in the country, and
I applied at livery stable for rig and
driver.
Il am sorry that I can't give you a

men are busy. The horse knows the
way though, and he'll take you there
without trouble"
7 doubted it when I saw the horse and
still more when a rlckety cart was
brought out, but I finaliy reached the
right farm. I had no sooner left the cart
to go UP to the farm house than the
horse started home of his own accord.
He turned around SO short that the cart
dumped over and was broken into bits

the farmer.

he figured it out.
I paid over the money, and we started
for the station with barely enough time
to catch the train. He drove with the
lines and I with the whip, and between
us we made it.
How. much will you give me for the
horse. now that I'm through with him?''
1 asked.
Don't want the horse. He's no use to
me. Take him with you," said the man,
knowing very well that l couldn't take
the horse on the train.
