ECONOMY in Cigars.


A well known business man walked
into a cigar store the other morning and
took out two coins. One was dollar
and the other half dollar He laid
them both down on the case and pointed
to box of imported cigars, saying.
Give me dollars worth of those"
The clerk handed them out and the buy
er laid the six that he wanted in a row
along the case.
Then he said to the clerk, "Give me
half dollars worth of any good five
cent cigar" The clerk did as he was
bid, and the FIVE centers were laid along
in a row also. The gentleman then
took the row of imported cigars and cut
the ends off of them ALL Then he mixed
the five centers and the twenty centers
up together and put them all into his Ca
pacious vest pockets.
A friend who was standing near and
who had watched the operation with
good deal of curiosity, said, Where
fore:" Simply this, my boy" replied
the man addressed Il am in a business

and takes one of the cheap ones, where
