Had Him There.

Two young gentleman were chums together at a certain colleg*. At the finish of their college career they both went their different ways in the r/orld and after the lapse ot a few years they accidentally met in one o» our large towns. After the usual amount of congratulations, etc., had passed between them the one that we will term No 2 takes out a cigar and lights it, to the consternation of No 1 . No 1 : •• My friend I see you smoke V No 2 : « Yes." No 1 : " For how lod£ a period have you smoked ?" No 2 : " Oh for the last six years." No 1 : " How much do you smoke per week ?" No 2 : " About two shillings worth*' No 1 makes a mental calculation, and says : " I suppose you also drink ?" No 2 : " You bet." No 1 : After asking how long hie friend had drank, and how much per week, and being informed, again makes a mental calculation, and observes, "Do you know my friend, that what you have spent in cigars and drink would nearly buy one sido of this street ?" No 2:"I conolude you do not smoke ?" Nol:"No." No 2 : "Neither do you drink ?" No! :«• Certainly not!" No 2 : " Now then, kindly show me which side of the street you own." No 1 who has not a cent to call his own suddenly collapsed.
