Wealthy Mans Revenge Was Costly
But Il Was Thorough.

A funny story is told of q certain
wealthy tradesman who. on retiring
from business, erected q mansion in
IN aristocratlc neIghborhood, and who
with his family commenced to culti.
vate social relationship with their
stylish neighbors.
Unfortunately for their ambitions,
the heightened people of the locality
proved to have the usual prejudice
against trade. and showed themselves
80 very exclusive that after q series
OF snubs the newcomers could endure
1t no longer, and determined to dis.
pose of their residence and quit the
ncighborhood.
But the banled tradosman did not
propose to go without leaving some
mark OF his resentment, and n huge
notice board erected at his gate sent
n thrill OF horror through the veins OF
all the blue.blooded residents in the
nelehborhood. II boro the words:
This desirable residence to DO let
or sold. Suitable for a fever hospital
or h'gh.class laundry"
Ultimately. so the story runs, the
place was sold at n sacrifice. tho own
or cheerfully foregoing a large por
ton OF It's value on condition that the
house should be exclusively used "a
lunatic asylum! II has been a bit
