HE WAS NO GAT.

Senator Depew, of America, was asked by a reporter, as he was having his luggage examined, if he had brought any stories back from Europe. The Senator laughed, and replied :— •“ Well in the smoke-room of the ship I heard an interesting thing about a Montanan in Chester. Chester, you know, is walled. Its wide walls, on which you could drive a horse, are famous- You can circle the town on them. “ But the Montanan knew nothing about Chester. He had only arrived in Liverpool that afternoon. And as soon as he finished his quaint dinner, he said to the waiter in the quaint Chester inn : — “ ‘What is the best way for me to | amuse myself here for an hour or two before bedtime ?’

“ ‘Well, sir,’ said the waiter ; ‘it’s a fine evening, the moon is full, and I think you’ll find a stroll on the walls most enjoyable.’ “The Montanan, ignorant of the popular promenade upon the wide walls of Chester, thought be was being guyed. He frowned at the waiter and said bitterly—- “ ‘What do you.take,me for? . A tom cat.’ ”
