mouse get in her cream jar one
night. When she found it out she

could not eat it, SO she told her
husband she would go and ex-
change it. She told the store
keeper about it, and it would not
hurt any one if they did not know
it. He said that it was all right
and went back in his rear room and
soon brought back two pounds OF
nice butter. She thanked him and
went home. The next time she

it was her own butter. II thought
it would not hurt you if you did
know it," and she got SO sick she

to take that view of it. The re-
porter knows instantly the motive
that prompts person in telling
him an item of news and values
it at it's true worth.
