"This Is a straight story said a gro
Gerry clerk, whose veraoity has never been
impeaohed. ut happened in our store.
A little boy came into u Market street
store and waited for some one to notice
him. He carried a sheet of writing paper
In his hand, at which he glanced from
time to time. One Of the idle clerks came
to him finally, and the boy, reading from
his paper, announced in a singsong voice:
MY mother wants 10 pounds Of rice, ID
pounds of sugar, IL pounds of oatmeal, 30
pounds Of Hold ont interrupted the
clerk. Not SO fast. Suppose you give me
that paper, and I'll fill out the order
But the boy insisted on calling off the ar
tioles himself. Two other clerks were
pressed into service, and the three men
proceeded to do up the various packages
as the boy called them of. He wanted all
kinds of things, and he asked the price of
each article as they went along, making a
note of 1t on his paper. The clerks had
the counter stacked with packages. when
the boy wound up with '18 pounds of
-four. One of the clerks called out the
price, and the boy continued in his sing
song voice, And how much money does
my mother have to pay for her sroceriess'
Ono Of the clerks counted up the total and
announced 1t az &18. 78. The boy made a
note Of it and started out. Come back
here. Where arc you going2' cried tho
clerks in chorus. Why, said the boy as
he made for the door, that's jest me 'rith-
metic lesson fur tomorrow. I have ter
