Wife's Noci Thieving and She
Tried TO Spend Them.


His wife had acquired the habit OF go
ing at night when he slept to where his
trousers hung, and taking money from
their pockets, but in this instance it Is
the consequences that are interesting.
He is the proprietor of business that
brings him a large income. There are
rusi, hours in his business, and at such
times much bad money finds its WY to
his Golfers. In the course of year,
usually, he gathers large bundle OF
counterfeit notes of large and small de-
nominations.
He was thinking one day of some plan
to break his wife of her habit of noe
1urnal borrowing. While he was study
ing out the plan he thought, also, of the
bundle of bad bills then in his safe. He
never knew just why he was keeping the
bad money until that moment.
That's brighter idea than I have had
for years." he said, and he smiled with
satisfa action that evening as he filled three
of his pockets with the counterfeitS. He
took no other sort of money except 10
cents for car fare.
He couldn't go 10 sleep that night. and
