A Great Compliment.

Little Jack—“ You never was in the country much, I guess, Mr. Popinjay ?” Popinjay (delighted)—“Do you think so, my little fellow? Well, I have not been in the country for many years, but I used to live there when I was a little boy. You would not believe it, I suppose?” Little Jack —“Dunno about that, but I guess sister would not. I know she thinks you never was in the country at all.” 1 Popinjay (still more delighted)—“Ah! Indeed ?” Little Jack—“ Yes, she said you didn’t even know beans.”—Philadelphia Call. _
