Old Dr S. was once riding with a friend, when they happened to pass ono of those houses which are known as " shanties." The chimney of the house referred to was constructed of sticks and mortar, and possessed a spiral form, presenting a comical appearance. Tipping the wink to his companion, the doctor thus accosted a curly-headed youngster upon the fence : — " Say, bub, does that chimney draw well ?" " Purty well ; it draws the •ttention of every fool passing this road," was the reply.
