A local age-dOor-JOhnny is so easy
that the chorus girls who come to
town make chalk marks on him, such
as tramps leave on houses where they
have been well fed, to indicate to the
next musical comedy DunCn mat ne IS
Good Thing. The other night he fol-
lowed chorus girl from the theater to
a store where she had stopped to make
a purchase The proprietor of the
store waited on her and when he told
her the price of the article she had
bought was two dollars and a half, she
was obliged to admit that she had
only two dollars. The proprietor told
her that she could pay the two dollars
and send the balance from the next
stop. so she emptied her peck etbook
on the counter and started out Just
as she reached the door 1t opened and
the age-Door-JOhnny blew in and
stopped to talk to her. Within the time
that the proprietor had put the money
@he had just collected from her in the
4.ash register and had turned around
again the c. G. had touched the S. D.
J. for dollar and was at the counter
holding it out toward the proprietor
with a Sozodont smile. Thus it will be
seen that virtue and honesty are their
own reward.
