The Modern Fable of the One Who
Got What Was Coming to Him
and Then Some.
- nee there was a Man who
bought his Pleasures by the
" Pound. He was Close Buyer.
Any time that he unwound the
Shoe-String and disgorged a one
Case Note he was expecting to get a
Return of about $1.60 or else he con-
sidered himself Stung. His Family
Motto was Get your Moneys Worth.
At a Hotel he would Keep the Lights
turned on all night SO as TO Catch
Even on his Bill. Sometimes on the
Trolley Car he would ride two Blocks
past his own House and then walk
back, because he wanted to. get as
much as possible for his Five Cents.
Once he was beguiled into paying Five
for a Ticket to a Charity Ball. Rather
than to be out the Five he danced from
10 p. m. to a. m. He was the Man
who insisted on the Third Encore at
the Theatre and howled for a Bakers
Dozen every time he bought Eggs.
" Whenever he got Enlargement of the
Heart and began to spend Money on
himself, he expected every one to pay
just as much Attention to him as they
would to Prince Henry. Once he hired
a Cab by the Hour. He was sitting
in a Cosy Corner slowly fighting his
way to the bottom of a High Ball when
a Policeman came in and told him that
the Cabman was freezing to death out
side.
That's all right" was the Reply.
Hes getting paid for it."
BY the time he got through with
Free Lunch there was nothing left ex-
cept Olives.
One Day on the Train he wanted
Snack but he did not feel hungry
Dollars Worth. He hated to go into
Diner and get away with only s. cents
worth of Provender So he decided to
make a Supreme Effort to stick the
Company. He began with Blue Points
and Soup and Fish and then he was
Mortified to find that he had Enough.
But he was cinched for Dollar so he
ordered Ribs Of Beef, half a Duck,
seven Vegetables, Ice Cream, Pie,
Cheese and a Large Coffee. When he
arrived at his Destination he was in
the Baggage Car ahead. His Last
Words had been, make the Company
pay all Expenses"
MORAL: No one loses out in the
Dining Car except the Stockholders.

ALABAMIANS VICTIMS
OF GREAT HOTEL FIRE

BIRMINGHAM. Ala, Feb. 24.-C. A.
Mountjoy, one of the men reported miss
ing in connection with the Park avenue
hotel fire in New York, was formerly one
of the most prominent citizens of Birm-
ingham. He was associated in the prac-
tice of law with John w. Tomlinson.
He left here for New York several years
ago.
Hon CASTOR A. Robbins, one of the vic
tins, was known throughout the length
of Alabama, and his tragic death caused
Widespread regret The esteem in which
he was held by the people of the fourth
congressional district was shown by the
fact that they twice elected him to con-
gress. He was unseated by the repub-
licans on each occasion, however. 1t is
not known here where Arson, the other
Alabama victim, was from.

The Modern Fable Of How the Can
ny Commercial Salesman Guess
ed the Combination.

A Country Merchant sometimes
known as the Man behind the Face.
was sitting IN his Prunery one day
when a Drummer came in to sell him
a lot of Goods that he didn't need.
As the Drummer closed the Door be-
hind him and put on his copyrighted
Smile, the Temperature of the Room
sank about Degrees. There were no
welcome" Notices on the Wall and
when the Drummer gazed into the
rugged Map he realized that he was up
against 1t.
But he was accustomed to warming
up these Cold Propositions. He asked
"HoN's Tricks?" and was told that
the entire Works, Government and all,
was going to the Bow-wows. Think
ing to dispel the Gloom. he told two OF
the Latest and although they were
Corkers and had caused many a Yo-
KEEL to fall off the Cracker Barrel, they
never feazed old Mournful Ike. 1t was
not his Day to be jollied. Then the
Drummer switched and tried the SYM
pathetic Dodge. He said that Collec-
tions had been a little Slack but he
looked for Better Times as soon as the
Farmers began to move their Crops.
But the Face couldn't see a Glimmer
of Hope.
The wise Drummer always has two
old Stand-Bys that he brings out
when all else has failed, viz; Poll
tics and Religion. He decided to take
a Chance.
What do you think?' he said, 81
had an awful Argument on the Train
with Chump who claimed that there
was nothing in this Predestmation
Business"
Then you believe in Infant Damna-
ton, do you? asked the Store-Keeper.
Sure" was the reply.
"You can send me a Barrel Of New
Orleans Molasses, ten Kits Of Mack
.erel, seven Gross of Canned Peaches
and a Caddy of Oolong," said the
Store-Keeper.

That Night the inquisitive Father got

Gertrude.
