Confidence In a Soldier Repaid.

A clerk in one OF the drug stores took
a risk. the other day, when . soldier
entered and wished to borrow $3.50. By
lending 1t to him. The soldiers plea
was that he had just got out OF the hos
pital., and wished to get the money to
so home The clerk tried the man just
as an experiment, though the soldier
was unknown. After the deed was
done, the friends Of the clerk 'codded'
him for days. calling him an easy mark
and telling him he would never again
see the money. It'was known that tht
soldier had entered a saloon and pur.
chased q drink soon after borrowing
the money. The clerk had given up ali
hopes of recovering the amount he had
loaned. when he was surprised on the
day the soldiers were paid, at seeins
the soldier enter the store and lay
down the amount borrowed. and an.
other dollar as present for the kind
ness. The extra dollar was not az
cepted, and though the clerk lost moth
ing by his confidence in the honesty of
a stranger. he will doubtless refuse TO
loan money to the next stranger who
asks him.
