Adding the Extra Tea.

Major Johnstone is very particular
about the spelling of his name. He is q
very proud man on general principles.
Nothing exasperates him more than to
be mixed up geographically or other
wise with the common herd OF john
sons without I. He was about leav-
ing a hotel in Dallas. He had asked for
his bill, and when it was handed him by
the clerk he scowled fiercely.
''ls there any mistake in the billr'
asked the clerk.
There is, sir; you have spelled my
name without the T."
"Ah, / see," replied the clerk, '.you
should be charged with an extra tea.
Fifty cents more if you please. ~ Tsras

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

Taking care OF their money
Some men never learn:
They, thinking it's foney,
All teaching will spearn.
To give them the knowledge
To spend as they should,
A financial knowledge
Might be very gould.
Just think of how many
Would profit IL they
Should write down each pany
They waste in dey.
Then II, when not busy,
They'd add what is there;
Twould make their heads dusy
And raise up each here.
Though smart are they wholly
And sharp as knife,
They'll get along wsolly
BY aid Of kwife.

by it is sufficient, without having it re-
