"Yes, here is some."
"Thank ye very much. It's a diffirunt color from my suit, I see; but p'r'aps ye could spare some of your husband's old clothes that this patch will match."
"Well, I declare! You're clever. I guess I'll have to give you a suit."
"Thank ye greatly. I see it's a little too large, ma'm, so would ye kindly furnish me with a good meal to see if I can fill it?"
MIGHT NOT USE IT
A salesman was sent to call on Mr. C----, "the meanest rich man in town," to try to induce him to purchase a lot in the new cemetery. In a half hour he was back again.
"Couldn't get him, eh?" said the superintendent.
"No," said the salesman. "He admitted that the lots were fine ones, but he said that if he bought one he might not get the value of his money in the end."
"Why," said the superintendent, "there's no fear of that. The man will die some day, won't he?"
"Yes," said the salesman, "but he says he might be lost at sea."
