A Coat For a Word.

A poor man may possess a wit SO
fine that it is capable of doing him a
great deal Of service and then wait
a long time before an opportunity
comes for him to exercise it profitably.
This was the case with an elderly
tramp who was once intrusted, for
want of a better messenger, with an
Grand to the Duke of Bedford.
"Well, you're a queer fellow" said
the duke on seeing him. "What is
your name?''
MY name is Russell, your grace"
The duke laughed heartily, for his
own name was Russell.
"And how about your coat Of arms?''
asked the duke us that the same as
the Duke of Bedford's?"
"Ah, your grace" said the man, "our
arms may be much the same, but
fancy there's a slight difference in our
coatsI'
As this fact was only too apparent,
the duke sent for good coat of his
own and gave 1t to the man.
