He Reasoned Wrong
"It's all knowing how to reason," said the Pittsburg man as ho sighed in a sorrowful way. "I owned a house and lot in a town in our state and was getting a good rent for them when a congregation built a church right on the line. I reasoned it out that the place was spoiled, and when I was offered three-flfths of its former value I made haste to close the deal. I patted myself on the back over that bit of good luck."
"And wasn't it good luck?" was asked.
"Not a bit of it. I'm a clean thousand dollars out of pocket for reasoning hind end to. The chap who bought my place had twin babies, a piano, a flddle and a barking dog, and the congregation hadn't occupied that church over four Sundays when it raised a purse and bought him out for twice the value of the place."
