lin Brackets Bean Pot.

Jim Bracket used to drive an old
stage coach between two towns in
Maine. The coach, on account of its
odd shape, had been nicknamed the
"bean pot"
One very cold morning Jim stopped
on the narrow country road to take
in a passenger, a stout lady, wrapped
up in three or four shawls. AS Jim
was helping her to get through the
narrow door, a rather difficult process,
to say the least, a man who had been
forced to stop his horse behind the
coach called out impatiently:
"Say, Jim, when are We goin' to get
out o. the way?"
Jim, who was still pushing with all
his might on the fat lady, shouted
back:
"Well, just w-w-wait till I get this
p-p-pork in the bean pot"

willing to pay we'll. While Mr.. Law
son was wondering just whom he
could get to do the job, he bethought
himself of Adirondack" Murray, who
was then in decidedly straitened cir

Mr.. Lawson, and he sent for Mr.. Muir
ray forthwith.
Mr.. Murray arrived. He appeared
as though he needed money, and Mr..
Lawson's heart warmed at the good
he was about to do.
Mr.. Murray listened while Mr. Law.
son in glowing language told him what
ne wanted. When Mr.. Lawson fin
ished, he hauled out check book and
said: "And I'm going to pay you $500
for writing the pamphlet and give you
the money in advance, Mr.. Murray"
Adirondack leaned back in his chair
and gazed at the speaker.
Are you really in earnest?" he
asked.
"Why, certainly" responded Mr..
Lawson.
The ex-preacher grabbed his hat in
disgust. "The idea" he snorted dis
painfully. Il couldn't think of lower
ing my literary reputation for that"
And he strobe out of the Office in
high dudgeon.
