Not Favoring Florists.

Stranger (out West)—if that man you just lynched had been brought to trial, he would have been found guilty and hung, anyhow, wouldn’t he? Native —Yes, siree. Stranger—Then why didn’t you let the law take its course? Native—Wall, you see, there’s two or three weddin’s cornin’ off soon, and we didn’t want to raise the price of cut Howers.—New York Weekly. •
