DIALOGUE ON THE ROAD.
Spartan brevity has not perish'd from the earth. This st.ory says the "Sporting Times," illustrates it. Two farmers were in the habit of meeting twice a week or. a turnpike. One morning the following conversation took place:— ''Morr.in'." "Morn in'." "That boss of yourn that was 'zooty, what-did ye give him?". "Turpentine." "Mornin'." •»• "Mornin.' " A week later the same two men met on the same road. The dialogue was as follows: "Mornin." " '•:- "Mornin.' " "Give my hoss turpentine same es you give yourn. Killed him." "Killed mine too." "Mornin'." \ "Mornin'."
