"Vani to bny any tin pans, pails, or

"No."
"I'll sell cheap, and take almost an3,
thing in pay."
"Don't want none,"
"i just look at my lot; it is the
coip!etesl yot. ever saw."
"6Dmn't want to."
"Well, 1 really l ish I could sell you
something. You really think you can't

"Drink it," said the old man; and ie
did.
"Thmt's reyal good cider; you make

th:it; if I had a barrel of that in Bostoii,
I'd glt five dollars for it. How diJ you

"'I don't think she'll be .in obal maid."
"'Slie.looks like yotu don't she new?
