"I understand they have named a new town for you." “That so?” the banker responded, not unflattered by the news. “Yes —some place down on the Iron Mountain.” t “That’s fupny,” Mr. Hill said. ”1 don’t know anything about it What's the name of the town?” “Bald Knob,” the friend said, withdrawing uproariously.—St Louis PostDispatch.
