soon as they made their find. Lewis
stopped dozen newsboys, but was un-
able to get any trace of his money. He
was passing q restaurant on Dia-
mnnd alley when he heard controversy
between some newsboys and a waiter
over fifty dollar bill. The boys had
eaten everything on the bill of fare, and
when they offered the $50 in pyament
the waiter became suspicious and refus-

the restaurant and demanded to know
where the boys got the money. The
lads confessed having found it In Liber-
ty street. They handed the bill over to

bought the same thing in Chicago for

think it was between 10 and rs cents. :"
responded the ''shrewd" buyer. The
moral is obvious. When you ''send off
for goods you either get an inferior arti
Gle or you pay more for the article than
you would with your home dealer-Ex.
"A very absent-minded farmer re-
siding near Cory was returning home
from that town when the thought came
to him that he had forgotten something.
He took out his notebook, went over
every item, checked it off and saw that
he had made all the purchases he had
intended. As he drove on he could not
put aside the feeling that there was
something missing. He took out his
note book and checked off every article
again, but still found no mistake. He
did this several times. but could not
dismiss the idea that he must have for
gotten something. When he arrived
home and drove up to the house his
daughter came out to meet him, and
with look of surprise asked, "WhY,
where's maw2"
