CLOSE FIGURING IN AN EGG
DEAL.

She was the wife Of an official Of a
st. Paul street corporation, Her one
pet hobby was economy. Though her
husband made an excellent salary, she
was rigid in her rules pertaining to the
buying of the necessaries for the house
hold. She would hunt bargain counters
and market stalls for hours in order to
get the benefit of reduction Of few
cents on the article desired.
The corporation official, with much
laughter, used to tease his better half
about what he called her "stinginess."
So one day, feeling hurt at his ridicule,
she resolved to take him to market
with her and demonstrate beyond a
doubt that she was a most economical
buyer. He consented, STIMULATING that
he was not to be asked to carry the
basket.
Arriving at the market she made
several purchases, and then at one stall
inquired the price of eggs.
WHAT she exclaimed, sixteen
cents a dozen? No, indeed, that is too
high"
She dragged her reluctant husband
after her from one stand to another,
still inquiring the price Of eggs and al
ways receiving the same answer, until
near the upper end of the market. Here
she found a dealer who offered to sell
her eggs In any quantity for fifteen
cents. To her husband she said JOY
ously;
There, I told you so, Why, those
others were robbers"
Turning to the salesman, she ordered
half dozen eggs, gravely handed him
the eight cents asked In payment and
went home, pratling away about the
worth of economy in marketing and
the alleged willingness of dealers to
gouge the unsuspecting customer And
to this day she does not know that her
husband and his friends laughed over

1t Cost Her a Quarter.

There are times when one hasn't the
courage to correct an error of speech,
times when to do so would cause en-
barrassments. The truth of this is
very keenly felt just at present by a
certain woman who lives in a boarding
house on the east side. The trouble
all came about by her using the wrong
word, that caused the misinterpreta-
ton of her meaning. to correct which
she lacked the courage. 1t happened
like this: She had a quarter in her
hand when she went to dinner, which
she forgot and left lying on the table.
Did you pick up that quarter?" she
asked her husband as he came out OF
the dining room.
mo, you'd better ask George he
replied.
Did you get that quarter, George?'
she called out.
George is the big eyed. shiny faced,
black boy who carries a trayful of
dishes on the palm of his hand as a
dining room girl never can. His coun.
tenance fairly beamed as he pocketed
the quarter.

where woolf Learned POVERTY

Michael Angelo Woolf, whose black
and white sketches of street waits en-
dowed with most of the ambitions of
more favored children have given him
a lasting place in the hearts of the
people, knew what it was to be Door
himself. For many years he was an
actor. Once his company was strand
ed as far away from civilization as
they could possibly get. Weeks after
ward Mr.. Woolf walked into New
York an artistic wreck. He was seeds
polished with wear, but clean. He
was unshaved and wore no shirt. His
boots consisted entirely of soles held
to his feet by fragments of uppers, and
his toes were painted black so that
from distance he looked like man
with the govt to whom his shoemaker
had been uncommonly kind.
1t appeared that Woolf was the only
man in the company who had received
his salary in full. He had spent every
cent of it in paying the railroad fares
home of the women of the company
and had walked back every step of sc
way.-Saturday Evening Post.

Five Foot Worms

Occasionally we see in our gardens
angleworms six inches long or more,
and we thilk they are unusually big
fellows. But Madagascar sports an
angle or earth worm five feet long.
Australia hes one which is four feet
long and as thick as ones finger. In
Sardinia these worms grow to length
of two feet and a half.
The old saying that never was any
creature created without having pur-
pose and an excuse for living is ex-
emplified by the work the angleworm
does in improving the soil. 1t eats
the earth and then deposits it in small
mounds on the surface. The mounds
of the Madagascar worm are from
three and half to five pounds in
weight. If left undisturbed. in half a
century these mounds would form a
strata Of ssrt:Azed earth three SEA
