A banker going home for his dinner
saw ten-dollar bill on the curbstone
He picked it up and took the number
home in order to find the owner.
While at home his wife remarked that
the butcher had sent bill amounting
to $40. The only money he had with
him was the bill he had found, which
he gave to her and she paid the
butcher. The butcher paid it to the
farmer for calf and the farmer paid
it to a merchant, who in turn paid it
to washerwoman, and she, owing
the banker note of $40 went to the
bank and paid the note. The banker
recognized the bill as the one he had
found, and which, up to that time
had paid $50 of debt. On careful in.
vestigation he discovered that the bill
was counterfeit. Now will some OF
our friends tell us what has been lost
in this transaction, any by whom p

WORDS.


Words are the slaves of the wise and
the foolish, the weak and the strong, the
true and the false. Fortunately words
are good when backed by deeds, and only
so. Deeds are not such servile subjects
and when the people learn to know that
words are constantly aline with deeds,
they know where and when to place con-
fldence in words. 1t is snot the lust as
good" that you want, but honest, reliable
and dependable goods. Those pretty
ladies' and gents gold watches that we
are selling are guaranteed mot just as
good" but the best watches, and will be
credit to the wearer. Call and see us
with or without money.
