THOUGHT 1T WAS A HAM.
But the One Who PurIoined IT Found
II to Be Only a Bag of
Earth.

Honesty is certainly the best policy,
as the proyerb and joke enjoyed by
a Connecticut woman will proclaim.
The joke is on some one who was not
brought up to believe that honesty is
the best policy and a cardinal virtue.
The woman had driven out into the
country to visit some relatives. They
lived at some distance from her home
in Stamford on a farm, and one object
of her visit was to bring home some
rich barnyard soil for her plants. 1t
was found when they started to get
thing TO get it in was an old ham
bag. This was firm and strong and
with the soil well packed in would
hold considerable quantity.
There" said the woman's cousin
when the bag was tied up, mo one
will ever accuse you of carting dirt,
for that looks exactly like bona fide
ham, and it is every bit as hard and
solid. The bag is clean on the out
side, and you viii not even need to
have it wrapped. If your friends see
it they will envy you for having a
good country ham,"
The woman was well pleased, the
ham bag was put into the carriage and
she drove home. When she reached
the house she lifted out the dirt and
set 1t just inside the gate while she
drove around to the barn. She was
gone only a short time, but when she
returned that ham bag had disap-
peared and she never saw it again. 1t
was annoying to lose the soil she had
taken such pains to get, but the joke
was good enough TO pay for the loss.
II think that bag was the heaviest
thing I ever lifted" she says in tell
ing the story. 1T was twice as heavy
as ham, and that ham bag was the
biggest one l have ever seen. Then
the soil that was in it. It was just
the thing for my plants, but not 50
agreeable in other ways as some that
was less rich. / can imagine the feel
ings of the man--it must have been a
man TO carry it any distance-who car
ried off that bag, hot and perspiring,
having TO hurry for fear of being dis
covered, and then to open it and find
nothing but barnyard soil. People do
get their just dues in this world some
times. "-Chicago Chronicle.
