Chopping Him Off.

“Ah, Mr.jGloom!” began the suave representative of a large Eastern publishing house, who called on only the few persons in each community who were of sufficient culture to appreciate the valuable works which he was purveying. “I recognize you Instantly. A gentleman, told me of your remarkable resemblance to Daniel Webster, and —” “Ah, yes!” Interrupted J. Fuller Gloom, “The likeness is truly astounding—neither Dan nor I ever had more thiln olae nose. But, still more amazing, I also greatly resemble the late Captain Kidd; in that I never give nor ask quarter, especially to or from a book agent.”—Kansas City Star.
