Mr.. JONES' SPELLING

Mr.. Jones waswriting letter. Writ
ing is not his strong point, neither is
spelling, and he called on Mrs. Jones,
who was sewing in the room, to help
him.
"Maria," he said, suspcnding his
pen, "is there any in sofa l'
"Of course there is" answered Mrs.
Jones, taking from her mouth button
that she was going 10 sew on Willie's
jacket. "S-o.p.h-a, sofa"
"Thanksl That's the way | always
spell it, come TO think OF it, said Jones,
airily. Then there was silence. Sud-
denly he asked
care there two g's in sugar, Maria? ?"
"Mercy, mol" said Mrs. Jonessharp-
ly; ~ should think you could spell
little word like that, Jeptha. S.h.u.g-a-r,
sugar."
"rhat's so" asscnted Jones, "but |
forgot the h, thought the word didn't
look right" and he scratched in the
missing aspira,e. Then he folded his
letter and set about directing it.
"How many ms in Cincinnati he
asked, balancing a postage stamp on
his tongue.
"About a dozen /" snapped Mrs.
Jones, who had just discovered that
both knees Of Willie's pants needed
repairing. "S.i.n-n.c-i-n-n-a-t-t.i, Gin
cinnati. I'm not sure whether the last
letter is y or an i. You ought to
keep dictionary, Jeptha, and not de-
pend on me for everything"
al don't need one when you're
around, dear" said Jones, with a sly
wink at the ceiling.
al used to be a pretty good speller, !"
said Mrs. Jones, complacently, "but |
am liable to make mistakes like other
people. II comes natural for some
folks to spell, and suppose I'm one OF
them !" and she proceeded to cut out
two square ornaments for Willie'sknees,
while Jones went out and posted his
letter.
