Will Not Borrow Again.

There are two brothers in Memphis who are so near the same size and

figure that they can wear each other* l clothing. One of them recently bought ; a fine new overcoat, which was a very • styish and comfortable garment, and j of which ha owner was very proud. ' The first night after he bought the i overcoat there was a rainstorm. The ' water fell iu torrents and the mud | fairly swam in the streels. The I young man was going out that evening, but ho didn't like the idea of taking his new overcoat out in such beastly weather. His brother had a mackintosh. and when the first young matt spied this banging on the hat rack he decided to appropriate it for the night and so save his new overcoat. Without saying a word to his brother lie put on Ihe waterproof and sallied forth into the rain, calculating that he would save lijs new overcoat at least three months' wear that night. When he came home he found his brother in their room. "Fay. old man." he said, “I used your mackintosh to-night.” "That was all right." said the brother. "1 got along very well without it.” "You didn't go out tills evening, did you?” asked the owner of the overcoat. "Yes," answered the owner of the mackintosh. “Then what did you wear?” "Your new overcoat.”
