Reason ENOUGH.

Most every town, no matter how
small, has its noted character, to whom
it points with either pride or shame.
One small county seat town was the
trading point Of the most notorious pre-
varicator of the county. The new clerk
in the main dry goods store had heard
tales about the man ever since his ar
rival in the town. One day a modest,
quiet old woman came into the store
and bought a large bill of goods, pay
ing for it and asking that the bundles
be laid aside until she called for them.
What name, please" the dapper clerk
asked, with pencil poised ready to
write. When she gave her name the
young fellow caught his breath with
gulp of surprise, for he had been
waiting on the wife of the man. She
seemed to guess his thoughts, for the
color famed into her faded cheeks,
and she said in an apologize tone, 81

A Splendid Bluff.


Sir Walter Besant is said to have
once settled a disputed cab fare in a
novel manner. He drove from Picca-
dilly to some place in the suburbs
outside the radius. On getting down
he rendered to the driver 3s. 3D., which
was little over the proper fare. The
man, however, wanted 8 shillings. Be-
SAINT refused.
'I'd like to fight you for it," said
the driver.
'The very thing" said Besant, who
dad never in his life put on a boxing
glove and was almost as ignorant as
Pickwick even Of the fighting attitude.
THE very thing! Capital Well have
the fight In the back garden. My
brother will look on, hold the stakes
and see fsiS"
The cabman got down slowly, as If
He followed into the garden, where
there was a lovely bit of green turf.
Besant placed the 5 shillings in his
friends hands, took off his coat and
waistcoat and rolled up his sleeves, all
with an air of cheerful alacrity.
Now, my friend" said he, 81 am
ready as soon as you are" His anx-
iety was great, but it decreased as he
watched the claimants face express sue
cussively all the emotions of surprise,
