A Drink He Didn’t Drink. In all glorious Devon it is genérally admitted there is no cider to equal that of Farmer Marshall. But he is notable for other things besides. It is said that he would very much rather receive than give—in short, that he is a stingy old rascal. Young Peterson had heard of this, but he was a young man who had consid- erable faith in his own powers of passing on the gentle hint, and to some sportive companions he had boasted that he would get a drink of cider out of the old man without actually asking for it. As such a thing had never been known to happen in living memory, there were plenty of takers, and the next day Peterson drove over. “Morning, farmer!’’ said he. ‘‘Fine orchard you have here!"’ “‘Ay,”’ said the farmer. “They tell me, too, that you have a very fine press."” “Ay; ‘tis the best in all Devon.”” “Pretty good cider you get, I suppose —eh? But I dare say I’ve tasted bet- ter."” Not in your born days. Tom'’—this to his son—-‘‘get an’ draw I a mug o’ cider,’” The luscious beverage was brought, and, with a smile of triumph, young Peterson held forth his hand to take it. But the farmer’s hand got there first. He drained the mug, then handed it to the visitor. “There!"’ he remarked. ‘‘If ’e thinks ‘e’s ever met the like of that cider, just smell the mug!’—Rocky Mountain News. Transformation. A little girl in the audience fat the Grand Tuesday night showed much as- tonishment when Thurston the magician, changed a pretty white rabbit he had given to her, into a box of chocolates. After giving the little miss the bunny the magician took it with the ostensible purpose of wrapping it up in a paper. When the youngster opened the paper to see if the rabbit was still alive, she found the candy. The performer was about to take the box from the hand of the child to ex- amine it, when a small boy in the gal- lery yelled out at the top of his voice: “Don’t let him wrap dat up, kiddo, de nex’ time you'll find nuttin but snow water.’’— Youngstown Telegram.
