The Attendant’s Retort.

During last summer there arrived at a well-known historical castle a party of tourists, among whom w’as one whose sole object seemed to be to make fun of every one and a fool of himself. “I suppose this is the chamber where the groans are heard?” he remarked, as they entered a dark, uninviting room. “No, sir,” replied the attendant, “there are no groans heard In this chamber, but if you will step to the window I can show you where the groaning is done.” “What place is that then?” inquired the tourist, who, after going to the window, was shown a little isolated building far below. “That’s where you paid for admission, sir,” replied the attendant.
