NOT so GREAT AFTER ALL.
The Small Boy Was Grieyously DIsap
pointed In Governor Flower.

A child's conception of human great
ness is often very curious. The
standard by which children gauge
fame would sometimes cause US to
smile were their thoughts only voiced.
An amusing story is told at the ex-
pense of Governor Flower, SAYS the
Brooklyn Eagle. The governor is a
great man, and, like great men in
general, likes children. A Watertown
friend of the governors has a little
boy, about years of age, who mas had
great longing to meet his excellency.
He had heard a great deal about gov
ernors in general and Governor Flower
in particular, and no one knows what
extravagant notions he had got into
his head concerning him. This sum-
mer the little fellow was gratified in
his great desire and with his father
one day called on the chief executive
OF this state. After a few common
place remarks had been passed the
father said: Governor, l have lit
tie boy who has always had a great
desire to meet you" Then, calling
the little fellow over to him, he said:
willie, this is Governor Flower, whom
you have heard so much about. Won't
you shake hands with himp"
Willie sized the governor up, then
looked suspiciouslv at his father.
Are YOU a really true governor?" he
finally asked.
Yes, my little fellow" said the one
addressed, with his best Sunday smile,
Il am governor of the state of New
York. +"
The boy eyed him critically from
head to foot. Then he blurted out:
"Umph! And you amt much of a
governor either. are you?"
A story fully equallins- this is told
about General Grant. We believe this
anecdote to be entirely new The
general who was also very fond of
children. was introduced to little tot
of years. The little girl gazed at the
great general with wonderment. AL
most incredulous that such an honor
was hers, she asked:
Are you the General Grant that
fought in the battles?"
Yes, was in good many battles, {"
said Grant much amused.
Another long and wondering gaze
and then came the modest request:
Let's hear You holler!'

One Kind of Saving.

A thrifty woman had joined one of
those cooperative saving societies,
whose earthly function is to protect its
patrons against extortionate prices by
securing to them a reduction of 10 per
cent at the stores belonging to the
combination, says the Detroit Free
Press. She was enthusiastic over the
opportunities for economy the scheme
presented and her husband was rather
disposed to be skeptical on the subject.
At the close of the first week she had
q talk with him.
You don't believe in the society?D
she said, tentatively.
"Not altogether" he confessed.
"Well, whether you do or not. I've
saved $40 this week; over $3.50 day
for six days"
"How?" he inquired
"By using my tickets, of course.
bought 800 worth of things and only
paid 500 for them"
"Ah," he said, beginning to figure.
"Yes, did, and next week ri save
$25, or over 81 a day." and she was
more enthusiastic than ever.
"No you won't, my dear" he said
emphatically. "You are altogether
too economical. This business of
spending 1925 to save S25 won't work.
You throw that ticket in the fire and
begin to retrench and reform in some
other direction, please" and she be-
gan to cry.
