Against His Grain.

From the Chicago Tribune. Remarked the commercial traveler in the long brown ulster: “You spell your name Millar. I believe. Why is that?" Replied the commercial traveler in the double-breasted reefer: “Well. I suppose some ancstor of mine ground-corn, but I don’t see any reason why his descendants should keep on advertising the fact." Rejoined the other: “The difference between you and your ancestor, then, is that he acknowledged the com and you don’t.”
