nowadays make very satisfactory resting
places for tooth brushes.

thoroughly rinsed from soap, dried and

EASY MONEY FOR HIM.

\ They tell a good story in Salt Lake CITY
about q famous Western Senator who
bought daily newspaper-not a single
copy, but the entire plant. The story
may not be true, but that doesn't spoil
1t. The Senator, who is a multfmillion-
aire, paid cash for his purchase. and got
a bargain-the price being. let US say.
$50, 900.
Some time after the transaction the
Senator's personal representative in the
city where the paper is published is said
to have received a letter from his en-
ployer containing this request:
Il wish you would let me know what
I paid for that newspaper. I gave a
check for II from my private checkbook,
and forgot to nil out the stub"
It is possible that the Senator's mind
was relieved when he learned that the
sum he had forgotten was only trl1ing
