house. Around his table sat his
wife, Mrs. Brown, the village mil
liner, Mrs Andrews, Mr. Black,
the baker, Mr. Jordan a carpenter
ai jd Mr. Hadley, a Hour, feed andi
lumber merchant.
Mr. Brown took ten dollars out
of his pocket and handed it to
Mrs. Brown with the remark that
there was ten dollars toward the
t.vonty dollars he had piomised
her.
Mrs. Brown handed the bill to
Mrs. Andrews, the milliner, say
ing “That pays for my new bon
net t.”
Mrs. Andrews in turn passed it
to Mr. Jordan, remarking that it
would.pay for the carpenter work
ho had done for her.
Mr. Jordan handed it to Mr.
Hadley, requesting his receipted
bill for lumber.
Mr. Hadley gave tho biil back
to Mr. Brown saying “That pays
ten dollars on ray board bill."
Mr. Brown again passed it to
Mrs. Brown remarking that he
ban now paid her the twenty dol
lars he hud promised her. She in
turn paid Mr. Blaclf. to settle her
bread and pastry account. Mr.
Black handed to Mr. Hadley, ask
ing credit for account on his flour

Mr. Hadley again returned it to
Mr. Brown, with the remark that
it now settled the balance for that
month’s board. '
Mr. Brown put (he bill back in
his pocket, observing that he had
not supposed a grden back would
go so far.

She stole softly
up to him and
laid her hand
caressingly upon
his head, ran her
fingers through his
silky dark brown
locks, then gently
placed a hand on
each of his smooth
soft cheeks. She rais
ed her face to him
showing her soft
carmiue lips and look- I
ed knowingly at him
from her deep blue
eyes. She spoke not a •
word, neitner did he, the only
movement perceptible on bis part
i was a slight jerk of the head as
she slipped the bit into his mouth.

THE CLAIM OF VOUk TOWN
We get lots of advice to save
money but very little on how to

Bill says daughter is wearing
her skirts longer, causing father to
have to wear his paints longer.
The government orders the
prosecution of an old , case ten
years old. The evidence must be
pretty strong by this time.
Says a wise wife, “It is easy to
a huuband-if he isn’t your
own.”
“This ease is grave,” tho doctor
said,
As he stood and long debated,
Up spoke the patient from his
bed,
“I’d rather be cremated!”
And we might add that writing
serious stuff is usually humorous.
We note by the magazine ad
vertisements that a man isn’t con
sidered well dressed unless he has
on a collar that makes him loojr
funny.

Bill nays the height of polite
ness: To say “Come in’’ when your

than brain,

flowers” If only we cpuld use it on
