Show An Englishman who was out west in early days fell in with a long train of prairie schooners, the leader of which announced that he and his fellow-emigrants were going to found a town, having hav-ing everything that was needful and nothing that was unnecessary "We won't have any waste," he said; "there isfr't a person in our party who won't do some important duty in the new town." The Englishman pointed to an old and feeble man with a bent back and a long, thin, white beard. "But that very old man there," he said; "he can't possibly be of any use to you, can he?" "Oh, yes," said the leader; "we'll open our new cemetery ceme-tery with him." |
