Nothing for Nothing.

It was Bald by all the neighbors of Mr. Quinchiey that he had never been known to give away anything in his life. He either sold it, or demanded something in exchange. On one occasion he was making a long journey. The seat directly in front of him was occupied by a man who had been coughing and sneezing at frequent intervals for more than an hour. At last Mr. leaned forward and spoke to him. "That’s a pretty bad cold you seem to have," he said. “Worst one I ever had in my life,”' wheezed the other. “Welt, I know of a simple and harmless remedy, absolutely sure, that will cure it inside of two days, “Some patent nostrum?” "No; you can make it up at home.” “I shall be very grateful if you will tell me what it is.” “I’ll do it, sir," said Mr. Squinchley, narrowing his eyelids, “if you’ll tell me what’ll drive away these warts I’ve got on my left hand.” —Youth’s Companion.
