OCrOfe cobl winter evening a knot of village worthies were convened around the stove of a country store, in a western town, wanning their fingers by the stove pipf and cracking jokes. The schoolmaster, the con-

table, the blacksmith and the storekeeper, j and the clerk, all were there. After they had drank cider and smoke' cigars to their hearts content, and when all the current topics of the day had been exhausted, the schoolmaster p: opoed a i,ew kind of game to reieive the mui.otony of the monotony ot the evenin ! proj.ound a puzzle to his neighlwrs; and v. hoever should ask a question that he hi'iise'if n . .. ... ... . !
