ECONOMY CARRIED TO EXTREMES
Why the Servant Girl Left the Home
stead uf the Green's


Hetty Green has achieved a reputa-
ton for parsinony, but he husband
was not far behind her. At one time
they were living in New Hampshire
and were the talk Of the town. The
servant girl who lived with them had
great deal to contend with, and
finally left when Mr.. Green would not
have the wood cut. She says that
the pieces of wood were to long to
put iuto the stove, and she objected.
The wood came in four-foot sticks, and
Mr.. Green declared it was waste Of
money to hire man to chop it up.
We'll, how can l use them when they
won't go into the stove?' inquired the
servant girl. "I'll show you," said Mr..
Green. Then he showed four-foot
stick as far into the stove as it would
60 and rested the end on chair back
AS the stick burned down he showed it
little further into the stove, until
1t was small enough to go in entirely.
The servant girl gave notice at once.
