Easy Enough When He Didn't Try.

Driving over the hills of Western Jersey, a reporter stopped at a lonely ! little cabin, in front of which an old man was chopping wood, and inquired ; the distance to Anthony. The lank ! and aged citizen straightened up and | attempted to reply, tie got as far as “T-t-t-t-t-ttt,” when his face grew red .and his grimaces became, distressing. He stopped, took a full breath, and tried again with no better success. He ! waft thoroughly mad now, and his distortions were really suggestive of an attack of apoplexy’. The old fellow suddenly gave it up, and broke out without any difficulty:’ “Dem ye, drive on and ye’ll git there afore I can tell ye.” The reporter drove on.
