GREAT GENEROSITY.

no way corresponded to his means
found out one day that there was some
remainder ale In his cellar almost spoil

delay.
The next morning when he was ram.
bling over his estate he came across a
party OF workmen Addressing the man
In charge, he ostentatously presented
the ale to the men and said they could
go and fetch It as they liked
a few days afterward he happened TO
meet the foreman again and immedl-
ately proceeded TO extract from him 10
some way q suitable acknowledgment
Of the bounty recently bestowed.
We'll, Williams" said the donor with
the air of man who had granted an
unspeakable favor did you and your
men have that ale?"
"Oh, yes, sir, thank you, we had IT,
was the reply.
That's right And how did you like
it?' said the gentleman, desiring q
warmer expression Of gratitude.
'oh. sir it was Just the thing for US,
was the rather vague response
'Ha! ThaflI do then. But what do
you mean By Just the thing@"
We'll, SIR said Williams, III II 'ad
