that parsimony is in exact proportion
to ones income: the larger the one. the
larger the other. A woman possessed
OF several millions in her own right is
pleased to pose as patron of young
woman in reduced circumstances. .
This pose the woman chiefly maintains
by employing the young woman 10

nifcent sum of 50 cents per hour The
other day, very rainy one, the patron
sent for the amanuensis. who obeyed
the summons promptly. The required
writing was finished in few minutes

girl to get done SO quickly" observed
the patron graciously; then. handing
the amanrensis quarter, Il believe
that is right" Car fare deducted, the
aTanuensis had earned Just Is cents.

vainly sought relief from this disabling

reach such deep-seated diseases.
