SMALL SAVINGS.

SMALL SAVINGS.
81 don't see how Holmes does it,
said John Stetson with a puzzled eI
preston.
"Does what?" asked his wife, lookin
up from her sewing.
Y "Why, save so much from his salary, +
be sure.''
|, 'Then he does save, does hep
You know the half-acre lot adjoining
his houseP"
Yes"
"Well, he has just bought it for hun
dred dollars, and what is more, paid TO
= it out of money he had saved from hi
salary this year."
"How does his salary compare Will

you know there an old proverb-
Many mickle makes a muckle.'"
'Pshaw! | hate old proverbs. Bes-

"Three."
"And how much do you pay for them
apiece?"
