A Pertinent OuerY.

Tho little boy was with his mother
at a theater in Louisville. The play
was "Jim, the Penman," and was the
scene where Jim displays Go e10O bank
notes. The little boy was very inquisi-
tive, and while he heard Mr.. Eagle
speaking of the pound notes he asked his
mother how much money o pound was.
When he was told that it was about
SIS in American money, he sat silent
and thoughtful for awhile. Then he
said, "Sixty-five thousand pounds
would be quite a big fortune for a man
to have, wouldn't it, mamma?'
Answered in the affirmative, he
thought for awhile. Then he asked,
"Mamma, it Mr.. Eagle has so much
money why does he work so hard at
this theater when he could be having a
bully good time spending those bank
notes?''-Louisville Commercial.
