FOR cHARlTY'S SAKE ONLY
Scheme for Corralling Her Husbands
Loose Change Worked
by Wife.

A West Philadelphia man who deter
mined a few days ago to abstain total
ly from strong drink for a period was
persuaded by his wife into a financial
arrangement which threatened to work
disastrously, relates the Philadelphia
Record.
The agreement was that every time
the man refused an invitation to take
a drink he was to put the money
which he would probably have spent
in returning the compliment into a
pocket reserved for the purpose and
give the contents Of the pocket to his
wife every night. She was to use this
money for charity, and for fear the
husband might not have always the
exact change to put in the pocket she
provided him with a number of beans
to be used as counters, valued at five
cents each. and to save bookkeeping
and memorizing.
The first evening the man got home
he found 40 cents in cash in his pocket
and 20 beans. This marked a very
exceptional day, the man declared, but
the next evening he found his pocket
carried. one dime and 80 beans. Then
he alleged that he would probably
have refused some of the invitations
which he had counted even If he had
not been on the water wagon, where.
