Lord Denman And His Hatter

This odd story is told of the late Lord Denman, who, out beiug remiuded by a west end hatter that a small account was "overdnc, " visited the shop and gave the manager a legal reply to the request for payment. "You state, "he said solemnly as he stood over liim, shaking liis fiuger at him as though warning him to be eareful, "that this account is overdue. Remember that a bilí of exchange or bill of acoeptance may become overdue, but a tradesman's account never. A gentleman pays when he thinks he wili or wheu he has the money; but, to show that no ill t'eeling existe, I will pay the acoount aud take auother bat. "-
