Mr. Lincoln thon proccodcd: "Bishop

not know anything about my cnbinet.
I thought Blnir n good old Presbyte

Prosident Lincoln had said to Bishop

which sultcd hor nnd sho took hor hu3
band to boo it. It was Batlsfactory,
nnd thoy cnmo down Iowd, ho to go
bnck to his business nnd sho to nttend
to tho uioving of their goods from tbo
rnllwny car to tho house. Her task
wns soon nccompllshed, nnd in n short
timo sho hnd put nwny most of tho
tbings, sottled n bcdroom nnd got tho
kitchen nnd dining room in order. By
C.30 in the nfternoon she nnd tbo now
girl had tho flrst dlnner in tbo now flnt

In tho mcnntimo tho nbscnt mlnded
husbnnd wns plodding through tho

tho plnteB woro being put on tho tnblo
nt his homo ho begnn to fecl tbo nood

stnrtcd for tho streot cnr. When ho
renchcd tho street, he suddenly re
membored thnt ho hnd not noticed tho
nddreBS of his now rosidence. IIo
stood on tbo corner n long wbilo nnd
tried to think wbnt the nnmo of tho
street wns. He consultod tho directory
but none of the street nnmes wns fn

city long enough to know nny of tho

nnd women who know whero their

incrcnsing momentnrily, but no sug

His mind on thnt polnt wns n perfect

wns locnted. Cursing his stupidity, ho
mndo bis wny to tho hotel, nto his din

Tho ancient jest regarding the ditto

ngo, nnd itloscs little of its spnrkle be
cnuso of its nge.
Into tho offlco of n locnl mnnufnctur
ing concern, whoao product iB wire nnd
wiro hardwaro spocialties, an elderly
customor from out of town recently
stalked.
"This here bill," bo remarked, "is

"How's tbnt?" inquired tho book
koeper. 'You'vo got me charged with $20
whon I don't owo you but 812," replied
the stranger.
"But I don't seo how you mako that
out," said tbe bookkeepcrnshe glunced
at tho bill. "Here's ono itom of 16
and another of $4. Thnt certninly ng
gregntes S20."
"Well," said the nged pnrty, "I'm
perfectly willing to stnnd by tho bill.
It's your own bill, you know, nnd l'll
pny you just whnt it calls for."
"Well.-itcalls for 820."
"Yos, it does, ndded, but not sub
tracted." "What in tho world do you mean?"
"I mean thia," said the aged patron.
And he spread tbo bill flat on tho coun

agaln. These are the items he rend:

keoper, "how you flgure that total any

The aged customer's eyes flashcd tri
umpbnntly. "Ensy," he cried. "Hero you'vo
chnrged mo with four wheolbnrrows,

below you sny thnt ono wouldn't do,
but instond of taking off the $4 you add

The following anecdoto is sent by a
Keutucky correapondent, who says it
is tho exact truth:
"A young man who had not found it
convonicnt to pay a tailor's bill was
brought up on a creditor's bill by tho
cruol tailor before a very kind-hearted
vico chancellor, who liked the youth.
He wns hnndsomely dressed nnd woro
a costly dlamond stud in his ehirt
bosom, but declared under oath that he
had no property except his wearing ap
parel. The tailor's lawyor clalmed that
n diamond stud wns not nn article of
exempt appnrel and asked for its sur
render, but tho judgo ruled that tho
dlamond button hold tbe pnrts of tho
shlrt together and its removnl would
lond to- indccent exposure of tho por
son. Then tho lawyor urged thnt tho
shlrt wns of n new kind which buttoned
in tho back, but tbo judgo mot this by
snying: 'Tho presumption of the lnw
is thnt sbirts button in front, nnd tho
court does not judicinlly know thnt
shirts ever button in tho bnck. Tho
court will not rcquiro tho dofcndant to
submit to nn cxnmiuntlon to rebut tho
presumption.' And so tho diamond
