cents in all" And he placed half
dollar on the counter.
The girl took the crayats he had Sc

which she footed up at 80 cents, and
sent them away. Soon they came back
wrapped ready for the purchaser. He
took them, but did not go away.
Il knew l could do it, he said. Just
count it up again-three for IA cents
each and one for 49,"
The girl counted and found the total
was 60 cents instead of 80. Then he
/ wanted to give her 10 cents more and
go off with the goods, but it took more
than 10 cents worth of his time as well
as of everybody else's concerned before
the matter could be Strengthened out.
'aThe lesson was quite as expensive
for me as for you" he said to the girl
when he finally left with his crayats.-

Furnishing a Proud Maine Judge.


In the early days of Augusta, Me-,
when the people rode about the country
on horseback, certain aristocratic
judge, riding into town one day on his
smart horse, was overtaken by a neigh
Dor, poorly dressed Irishman, riding
a rather rough looking animal.
In the outskirts of the city the two
logged along side by side, discussing
the topics Of the day, but as they near
ed the town the proud judge, thinking
it beneath his dignity to be seen in
company with Patrick, requested the
Irishman to fall back little.
The quick witted son of Erin, grasp
ing the situation, fell back few PAGES
and awaited his opportunity for re-
venge.
As they were entering the principal
street the Irishman called out from be-
hind: .'Jedge -, am / far enough be-
hind yer honor?"
The discounted judge, sitting very
erect, paid no heed to the Irishman.
A little further on Patrick again call
ed out, to the intense amusement of the
bystanders, 'Jedge -, am l far
enough behind yer honor now, sir?"
So, all along the way, Patrick pun
ished the proud judge.-Boston Herald.

A Lie of Passion.

In Lord Byron's letters he tells how
he once had visit from "a Mr.. Cool
idge of Boston, a very pretty lad, only
somewhat too full of poetry and EN-
tusymusy Byron says: Il was very
civil to him during his few hours stay
and talked with him much of Irving,
whose writings are my delight. But
suspect he did not take quite so much
to me, from his having expected TO
meet misanthropical gentleman in
wolfskin breeches and answering in
fierce monosyllables instead of man
Of this world. 1 can never get people
to understand that poetry is the ex-
preston of excited passion and that
there is no such thing as life of pas
sion any more than a continuous earth
quake or an eternal fever. Besides,
who would ever shave themselves in
such state?"
