Furthermore, he was a good fellow. Let
me tell you something that should endear
him to such minds as yours.'
" 'Once, In Dumfries, Burns had the Job
of gauger. He went about from public
house to house, seeing that a good, pure
grade of whisky was served. And he was
supposed, too, to keep his eye open for un
licensed houses to see that no "Bpealc

fries. ." 'And did .he do It? Did he. indeed?
There's a fond Dumfries tradition that,
sneaking hurriedly into the back dior of a
prosperous "speak easy" one ufternoon,
Burns whispered excitedly to the owner, a
widow:

Farmer Who Wouldn't Be Plaeked.
Representative V Smith of Pennsylvania
was recently In one of the departments ac
Washington "looking after" one of his con
stituents. "I wrote you a letter," said the
representative, "and I art reminded of wht
happened In my state about a letter of In
troduction. "A rich old farmer who lived near Phila
delphia got tangled up In a money matter
with one of his neighbors. Mr. Alston, for
that was his name,- sought' an attorney,
who gave htm a letter of Introduction to a
brother lawyer in Philadelphia, at which
place It was necessary to. enter the suit.
The letter was delivered to the lawyer, and
while he was reading it he was called out
of the room, leaving the letter on hi desk.
Mr. Alston let curiosity get the best of him
and picked up the letter and read It. The
letter closed with. 'Mr. Alston Is a fat
goose; pluck him heavy."
"That was enough for the rich old farmer,
and, seising a pen, he wrote:
" 'P. S. The. goose has flown, feathers
and all.'
"It took him about three seconds to amble
down the stairs and Into the street, and he
has not had anything to do with lawyers
from that day to this, preferring to pluck
his own geese." Philadelphia Record.
