All He Wanted.

A Boston mar tells of a certain ir
repressible bore who always made
use OF a formula when anyone sought
TO put him off and thus spare the OBJ
iects Of his attention the annoyance OF
an interview with him. This formula
was: But l assure you l want but n
word with him-only one word"
On n occasion he sought out a
noted lawyer. The latter's clerk met
him very solemnly with: why,
haven't you heard? Mr.. Blank died
last night"
The words were scarcely out of the
clerks mouth when the applicant was
saying, c~onciliatingly: But l assure
you / want but one word with him
only mi world"
