has still been 80 large that found my
self away ahead on the month.
"When we all came TO reckon up, We
discovered that We had saved enough

better OF In purse Is result Of Il. but
In habits as well. and in the cstima-
ton Of the old folks. who have taken
a renewed interest in me since began
saving my money"
Many experiences similar to those
related above were told. but mono ex-
ceeded in interest the following. which
was given by young lady As happen
ing 70 two young people she knew.
They were young couple who were
very much ia love:
''Her father was very much opposed
70 the idea Of their marrying" said the
reporters fair informant declaring
that she was too young. and that he
was nothing but . clerk. who might
never be any thing better. One night
the gentleman took tho lady to the ex-
position. After the turning down Of
the lights they boarded cable car.
She lives on vandevcnter avenue.
When the conductor came around to
the young man the latter felt in his
| pockets, blushed crimson, and then.
turning to the lady. asked her II she
had any change in her purse. She re-
piled that she had forgotten to take
her purse. He asked the conductor
to stop the car. and smilingly re-
questcd his love TO step out with him.
The conductor looked surprised, BIZ
let them Of. as they were not MOI
than block and half then from the
exposition building.
No sooner were they in the street
than the gentleman offered an expla-
nation and an apology. He told his
companion that he never spent dime,
and that much to his surprise he found
when asked for his fare by the con-
ductor that he had nothing in his
pocket but dimes Rather than break
his resolution not to part with single
dime under any circumstances he took
the liberty Of requesting the lady to
lend him some change, and when she
had none to ask her to walk home.
They were both very much more will
ing to walk than TO ride. fancy, and
and enjoyed that long stretch TO the
utmost But it was very late when
the young lady was admitted to her
home. and she found her parents
awaiting her both little bit alarmed
ut her long absence.
AFTER the departure Of her com
panion the lady explained his mishaT
and did Its so nicely and with so much
praise of her nero that her father
changed his opinion Of him at once HI
said that young fellow who would
save money at that price would &c
along in life without guardian. and b.
determined to do All in his power Il
show friendship for him. The young
people are engaged. Of course, and thu
young man stands better with his pro
posed patcrfamilias than any one in
the city"
All Of which goes to show that il il I
good thing TO save your dimes It will
cost you . good many sacrifices
but stick to the resolution to part MOI
with the little silver ten-ccnt piece!
and you will find yourself ahead IL
every respect.-SL Louis Rcpublicon
