other night" sid well.known
Orange Country lawyer. Her hus.
band had received sum of money,
and he rolled the bills up with
brand-new en-dollar bill on the out
side. He went home 10 Intervening
and while giving his wife some mon
ey noticed thst the new ten-dollar
bill was gone. He searched his
pockets, bat he missing note could
not be found, The loss naturally
caused quite little commoti"n in
the household, and the matter was
discussed even after nv friend and
his wife bad retired for the night.
"Next morning the wife woke up
her husband and brought the subject
of the lost bill to his mind by the
query:
"'Was that ten dollar bill number
1912
'The husband said be didn't know
whether the number was ISL or
whether the bill had any number on
it at all.
And furthermore, said be /
don't care, for / never expect to see
the bill again.
Don't you be too sure,' said his
wife. You took that money out of
your pocket before you got into the
house last night.
Yes, / did, said the husband.
But how did you know it =
i had dream last night that
you did, replied the wife. And /
dreamed that the number of bill was
Isl and that the wind blew it
out of your hand
Nonsense said the bust AMI.
Nothing more was said about it.
My friend ate his breakfast and
went to his business. Early in the
forenoon his wife came in smiling.
She had a new ten dollar bill in her
hand. She showed the number to her
husband triumphantly II was ISL.
And I went out in the garden
and found the bill amoung the toma-
70 vines just where | had dreamed
the wind had CARED it, she said.
Now, this is fact. How can you

Uncle Amos Hupniford, well-to-
do old bachelor, had adopted his two
nieces, Estelle and Dianthe, the
daughters of his deceased sister, when
they were penniless orphans.
But though he lavished money like
water upon their education and sup
port, they proved to be both selfish
and indolent, accepting his bounty
as if it were their right, and exhibit
ing not a spark of gratitude for his
many favors.
And when, a few years later, he
brought home the daughter OF his
younger brother, who had found a
grave 10 the fair ''Iand of flowers, >

health, the two sisters gave the new
conner a grudging welcome.
.Hetty proved to be of different
metal from her cousins, and refused
to eat the bread of idleness.
She made herself useful in thou
sand ways-looking after her uncle's
comfort and helping Aunt 'Phrosyne
with the cooking.
She even took on herself the duties
Of dairymaid, and worked up the
milk and cream from the i've Jer-
sey cows into yellow butter and dam
ty cheese, which brought a good
price at the nearest market.
With the approach of October the
coming county fair claimed every

And the future brightly CLEANS;
The waits sing out with tuneful voice
Their carols of Christmas mirth,
And all the ends of earth rejoice
In the great Messiah's birth.
