TOOK HIM FOR AN IDIOT.

No SO very long ago q prominent FiCh-
ita man visited rich cousin in New York
City whom he had never seen. The cousin
net him at the ferry and took him home
with him late at night, and servant at
once showed him to his room. Before the
servant left the room he hesitated and
started to say something, then turned and
went out.
I wonder what ais that lackey?" said
the Wichitan yankng off his shirt.
A little later there was q tirnid knock
and the door opened and the servant
walked in and said, taking hold OF the
thumb screw OF the gas jet:
When you want to put the light cut,
you just turn this half way round, like
this"
Then the servant went away.
: moment later the Nichitan realized
that the servant had consulted with ais
cousin; that they sized him up for a
backwoods idiot. and concluded that he
would blow out The gas.
He was so not he couldn't sleep. He
spent the night fixing up a scheme 10
get even, and he decided TO abuse New
York
So the next morning at breakfast he
sailed in. He said that New York was in
a disgracefuI condition; that its streets
were dirty; it was poorly lighted; its
policemen looked ragged; its sTeet car
service was poorer than EmporiAs that
Wichita had higher buildings than New
York; that groceries in Wichita were de-
livered in automobiles; that the tele-
phone system was worked on the wire
less plan: that the city ran filtered ice
water through the mains to~its patrons.
and the entire mail Of the city was de-
livered through pneumatic tubes. He told
him that New York was away behind the
time in everything. and asked him why
he didn't move out vest where things
were progressive
He made it pretty strong ana the cousin
finally said:
well. I haven't any explanation 70 Of
fer. I was a fool But the west is long
way of. I didn't know. And I had
heard about westerners blowing out the
gas 50 often. Take a drink and let's call

into the residence. part Of the town. but
he didn't see any bank. He went back
over the route carefully, examining each

fooushly.
THE woman looked at him IN wonder.
and stammered:

Pulling his hat down over his eyes. the
Wichitan went over the same old route.
Finally he caught sight Of a sign sticking
out of little cottage away back on a
lot, and he stealthily crept up and read
the faded letters:

bank with three million deposits. He'd

He was overjoyed the other day 70 hear

of the bank had become philanthropic and
allowed him a girl stenographer. and re-
