His Deductions

Some years ago there sat in
the house Of representatives. as
member from Missouri a gen
tlemau named Benton. Ac.
cordiug the congressman who
tells the story Mr.. Benton was
known as "the shrewdest and
homeiicst man that the state
possessed at that time"
In his early days at the bar
Mr.. Benton had, it is said, gone
to Texas tor the purpose OF
prosecuting a land claim. He
lost the suit, but was SO fortu-
nate as to win an extremely
handsome Texas girl, who &C
companied him to his Missouri
home. At ST Joseph the couple
were met by a certain General
Mitchell. a very plain spoken
politician, to whom Mr.. Benton
introduced his bride. The old
fellow looked very surprised.
He stared al Benton and beam
ed on the pretty bride. Finally
he could repress himself no
longer, so he blurted out;
MRS. Benton, amt there any
men in TeXas?"-From the
American Spectator.
