His Interpretation.

The minister had made his Introductory
sermon to new congregation.
Among the most attentive listeners was
q small boy who sat with mouth, eyes
and ears wide open during the discourse.
The minister being somewhat pompous
gentleman, had said:
IF any Of you want succor, call upon
me at any time"
The sentence had been somewhat vague
in its meaning to the lad, and he revolved
it over a great deal on the way home.
So that when his father asked him what
the new minister had said, the youth re-
piled promptly:

had q good color. When Bill led it into
the barn he discovered that it was blind.
A few days later Bill hitched the horse

what he would take for it.
"Well, that horse cost me $685." said
Bill, II always like to make little on a
horse trade. If you want the horse you
can have him for $175. The friend got
in and drove around town and then
bought the horse. That evening he also
discovered that the horse was blind. He
met Bill on the street the next day.
"Why didn't you tell me that horse was

"Well, I'll tell you why" said Bill.
"The man I bought him of didn't say any
thing about it, and took it that he didn't
want anybody to know it."
