He Made a Mistake

THE story is told in Boston of young spendthrift who hoped to inherit the wealth of q certain aged but shrewd maiden aunt She had helped him out of more than one hole, and when he went to her the other day with long face and an air of penitence she knew what it meant Been gambling again, eh?" she said. Well, I'm willing to pay your gambling debts again on one condition. You must marry, and Two got just the wife for you.' Who is she?" asked the nephew "My nurse. She's 40 years old, strong, able to take care of you, and, if you marry her, I'll do something handsome for you." Tho up- shot of the talk was that the young spend thrift agreed to marry the woman if all his debts were paid and an income of $6, ,OOO a year guaranteed to him Then the old aunt invited another nephew, No. Is rival, to din- ner, told him of the compact, and said that she had made the proposal merely as a test, and that she should refuse to receive in her house man who would marry a servant for money.
