Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1901-09-25

Every one knows the man who Is
notorious for so telling a story as to
destroy it's point. An English noble
man, Lord p, was noted for his sue
cess in thus running the prosperity Of
a story. The author of collections
and Recollections" exhibits specimen
of his lordships peculiar art.
Thirty years ago two large houses
were built at Albert Gate. London, the
size and cost Of which seemed likely to
prohibit tenants from hiring them. A
wag christened them malta and Glib
raltar because they can never be
taken"
Lord P. thought this an excellent
joke and ran round the town, saying to
every friend he met:
II say, do you know what they call
those houses at Albert Gate? They
call them Malta and Gibraltar because
they can never let them. Isn't 1t aw-
fully good?
Some one told Lord P. the old rid
die, why was the elephant the last
animal to get into the arkY" to which
the answer is. Because he had to pack
his trunk"
Lord P. asked the riddle Of the next
friend he met and gave as the answer,
Because he had to pack his portman-
teau."
