“I have written a play,” said Mr. Armstrong.
“What is it called?” asked Mr. Tyler.
“It has no name,” said the author.
“How long did it take you to write it?” asked Mr. Tyler.
“Four days,” said Mr. Armstrong. “I wrote it in a day’s less time than ‘Jimmy Valentine.’”
“I’ll accept it,” said Mr. Tyler, and shook hands on the bargain.—Philadelphia Enquirer.

SUCCESS TOO DEAR
Judge Baldwin, of Indiana, it is said, in giving his advice to lawyers upon one occasion, told them that the course to be pursued by a lawyer was first to get on, second to get honor, and third to get honest. A man who follows that policy, in my judgment, is not such a lawyer as should be let loose in politics. (Text.)—George M. Palmer.
