The story goes, that some years since, a doctor of divinity, a gentleman w'hose face indicated generous living, while upon an. exchange, in Boston, early ori Sunday morning, took 'a $troll through the streets by way of a "constitutional." His attention was - attracted by a man who was standing on a corner, and ev idently suffering from the effects of bard drinking the night before. The doctor passed on; but strangely, enough coon again met the same fellow, and passed him, only to encounter him again in another street. At the third meet ing, the droghty fellow, evidently mis taking the object of , the doctor's early walk, accosted him "with the remark : say;j old fellow, there isn't a single "Green Jones." "You know Grubs, General Agent of the Aderable Life Insurance Com pany don't you V inquired Green Jones. VJNo You ve missed a,stunner then. "He came along here about a year ago now. Tongue glib ? Wdl it was. Ran as easy as a hand sled in winter. Even made me believe I was gifted s a life insurance agent. "The1 way he told it, not a single man had taken hold of the Aderable for the last hundred and fifty years, and made less that five thousand a year and expenses. v : j "One agent had cleared $153,000 in eight years. : . ," Another had laid aside $125,000? in six years. "Another still (peculiar case that it was though -man particulary adapt ed to the work) He built up such a buainets in the short space of five years that he actually overshadowed. the company. They had to force him out as a measure of self-protection. Averaged twenty thousand dollars a year clear of all expenses while he was in and the company paijd him $162,000 in a lump for his renewals when he went out. , I "Well, I didn't care much about being such an agent as that ; the in ternal revenue officers would alwavs be bothering me so But finally 1 con cluded (seeing the thing was so com mon and easy) that 1 would-turn in and make eight or ten thousand a year for eiht or ten vears, and then retire on my renewal commissions. - "Grubbs posted me up till he said I could 'go it.' Then he went on home and left me to 'go it' alone. "The town was strange to me a year ago, and every one in it was a stranger. One locality seemed just as good a3 an other to begin in, as it were. So I sauntered leisurely down the street the morning after Grubbs left, and swung into the first store I came to. I wasn't going to let anybody see but that I had all the self-possession necesary for my branch of business. "Nobody in sight. I lounged along among the boxes and brooms, and cod fish piles, in a sort jbf cheeky, familiar way, till I got to the back office. There I found a large, middle-aged man sit ting alone, readingj a newspaper. "He locked up oyer the top of his paper rather suspiciously as I entered: Then he said 'good morning,' rather coolly and dubiously. " . "J was very intent on my errand by that time so intent that I wholly negJ lected to answer him. : "I hauled out my rate book and open ed it. " : . !.!..

"Down slapped a two dollar and a half pair of spectacles. Up bounced two hundred pounds of well developed bone and sinew. Around the room agile as a French dancing master it went hopping ; like a wild bull in slaughter yard, it roared : "Great Caesar ! Six life insurance agents,' and it ain't nine o'clock yet ! (Here I began to crawfish.) I won't stand it another minute. Here Tige ! sick 'em! ' "Then a sudden convulsive, scratch ing of the nails at the further end of a big safe tjiat stood on the other side of the room. r- Then came a scratching, equally sud den and convulsive where I was. "I started j ust one square j ump ahead of that big bull dojr, and I maintained my advantage till I got within ten feet of the front 7 door. Then I suddenly found it necessary to execute a quick", strategic, rightflank movement around a pile of boles. That dog went on out doors with one of my coat tails in his mouth, and I went through a side window.

Then, with features grim as a gravestone, I proceeded to pile ap plication after. application, book, after jjook, circular after circular, on top of each other. Then I turned all: my pockets inside out, to see if somb frag ment hadn't escaped my notice. "That pile is in the hoayet,if my wife hasn't burnt it up.
