THE VANISHING INK.
Tow Misery Old Jones Outwitted
Himself

Old Jones was a miser, and perhaps
the worst one that ever lived. for,
though he did not go so far as tc
starve himself and deny himself fire.
he certainly loved money better than
his soul
However, he had come to be fifty

certain person had for sale an ink
