A traveling salesman for a Ganse-

recently back from a trip through the
rough lands vt eastern Pennsylvania,
tells tfiis possibly tsue tale:
"One day on my last trip I had a
six-mile ride to make to tfce county
seat, and the small village in which
1 was had only one horse that I could
hire trad no other form of convey-
ance. 1 may say that a Iriend had
landed me in the town that morning
from his car atfd 1 had sold goods
enough to pay the expenses of the
trip.
"Well, I got away on the sorriest
specimen of a horse 1 ever straddled
and 1 was to send him back by mail
carrier, though not as a parcel post
package. It took me two hours to
cover tile distance—I was sorry
enough 1 hadn't walked—and as 1
paBsed.the county jail on my old hag
of bones a face grinned at me from
between the bars of a small square
window. I was too sore to smile, but
I nodded to the grin, and the prison-
er called to me:
" ‘Say, mister,’ he said, ’bow’d you
like to trade that critter for 30 days
In jail?’
“Just then I would have been glad
enough to have traded, but the law
wouldn't let me, and 1 rode on.”—
