Show HE GOT A LIFT. M 'Hello, Turnips 1" said an arrogant H young man to a farmer driving along H a. country road. "Give a fclldw a lift H to Newton?" Without waiting for a H reply he jumped into the cart: "T H might as well ride with you as walk. ' H After two or three miles had been H covered, the young man paused for a H moment in his chatter, and remarked: H "It's more of a distance to .Newton H than I supposed." H "It is a good distance," answered H the farmer. H Another twenty minutes passed, and H then the young man inquired: H "About how far is it to Newton?" H "Well," replied the farmer "keep- H in' straight on the way we're going H now I sh'd say 'twould be a matter H o' twenty-five thousand miles or so; H but if you was favorable t' gcttin' out H o' my cart and walkin' it back, it isn't H very much above eight miles."
