The Rev. V. II. Carroll, n southern
clergyman, tells the following story:
We were driving out one Sunday from
Decatur when we came upon n negro
with club in his hand and o freshly

stopped to examine his prize. and the
colonel said:
"'My friend. do you know 1t is Sun

Ihese stories OF mean persons are
collected by an English newspaper:
A millionaire and his wife who were
shown through a building at Windsor
handed the attendant halfpenny. II
was explained that it was the ONLY
copper the millionaire had, the other
coins being all silver. There are ways
OF becoming a millionaire and also of
remaining one.
4he story Is told OF a grocer who.
when retailing quarter OF a pound
OF 1uJubes. cut one In halves with a
ham knife in order to make the bal
ance true.
"A grocer had been handing a wc-
man few sweetmeats when she
squared her weekly account. One
night she asked what was the value
OF the sweeties. She was told. She
mentioned that she did not care for
sweetmeats and preferred If he would
give her the value of them In sugar.
