Amicably Adjusted.

“Do you mean to call me a liar?” asked one rival railroad man of another, during a dispute they had on business. »“No. Colonel, I don’t mean to call you a liar. On the contrary, I say you are the only man in town who tells the truth all the time; but I’m offering a reward of twenty-five dollars and a chromo to any other mam who says he believes me when I say you never lie,” was the response. “Well, I’m glad you took it back,” replied the other party, as the tigerlike look of ferocity faded out of his features, and he looked around for the nearest saloon.— Texas Siftings.
