With Allowance.

There Is an editor in a little New York town who has a well developed streak of gentle humor and a fondness for gardening. Not long ago his nan of all work left him, and the editor advertised for some one to fill his place. Among the applicants for the position was a man who seemed to know his business thoroughly, but who failed to produce references as to character when requested. Moreover, his eyes were somewhat shifty.

“You say you have no references?" the editor asked. “No, sir, I have not," the man replied In a tone of humble pride; “but I think, sir, that you will find honesty printed on my face." The editor smiled a little. "Well—er—perhaps,” he admitted; “that Is, allowing for typographical errors."— Sunday Magazine.
