His Discovery.

Col. Stone of Tennessee, once told a pretty good thing of a delegate from one of the rural counties to the State Convention whom he met there Tor the first time, and the story has got into print. The Colonel said: “I am gla’d to meet you. I have known your father for many years, but never had the pleasure of your acquaintance. I see that the son, however, is better looking than the father.” “Look here, Colonel,” said the delegate, “you need not be flattering me up, for I am out and out for Barksdale for Governor, although the old man is for you.” “Why, I simply find you better looking than your father, but I did not say had half as much sense as he has,” returned the Colonel. Those standing around roared with laugater, in which the delegate good humoredly joined.
