How the Boys Got Ahead of One Man ON
10 Cent Find.

How the Boys Got Ahead of One Man ON
10 Cent Find.
A man walking along Wrightwood av-
enue saw a bright dime lying on the side
walk. He picked it up. Only short dis
lance ahead of him were two boys. He
called to them, "Boys, did you lose any
thing?"
They turned around, and after looking
at each other and then at the friendly man
they shook their heads.
Have you any money!" he asked them.
GIVE got IS CENTS" said one of Them,
"What kind of money is it?"
ST got a half dollar and three hicks"
''No dimes, eh?''
"No, sir.''
st just picked up dime back there,
and thought perhaps one of you might
have dropped it,"
He walked on to the corner. AS he stood
there waiting for car he felt pull at his
coattail, and small boy, with a streaked
face, said, "Mister, did you find 10 cent
piece?"
Yes, found one"
"Well, lost it, honest. Ma sent me
for bread, and now she'll lick me-"
'tWell, here's your dime"
The boy grabbed it and ran.
That evening, when the man alighted
from the car at the same corner, boy,
with derby hat too large for him, halted
him and asked: "Say, mister, did you find
a dime? Cause I lost one on the way to
the butchers, and I'll catch it when the
old man hears about it,
''Look here, gave that dime to an
other boy. He said he was going to buy
bread with it."
''He was stringin you"
~ don't know what that means, but
maybe the money belonged to you. Here's
10 cents"
Next morning another boy, with the
proud evidence of hole in his pocket te'
back up his claim, met the honest man at
the front gate and asked for the dime
The man knew that some one must have
lost the money, and as he didn't want to
overlook the right boy he gave up another
dime. That evening two more were lying
in wait He handed them 10 cents apiece
on condition that they should notify all
the boys in the neighborhood that he had
been worked" to the limit.-Chicago
