His Brother Was Deaf.

A millionaire railway king has a brother who is hard of hearing, while he himself is remarkable as 'kaving a very prominent nose. Once the railways .Hng dined at a'friend’s house, when he sat between two ladles, who talked to him very loudly, rather to his annoyance? but he said nothing. Finally one of them shouted a commonplace remark, and then said in an ordinary tone to the other: “Did you ever see such a nose in your life?” “Pardon me, ladies,” said the millionaire, “It’s my brother who Is deaf.” Imagine the horror of the lady.
