An Exp.nsIv. Dollar.

Not long ago in this town kind
friend of the family gave one Of the
kids a dollar. OF course 1t was too
much to let the kid get out and spend
for candy and gum. 30 1t was reli-
giously put up on the sideboard or
some other safe place to be kept-just
for what the deponent saith not. In
about a week the Juvenile owner Of
the big round coin remarked at the
breakfast table, Papa. mamma spent
my dollar yesterday" The head of
the house took the hint and nshed up
another dollar. which, like its prede-
cessor, was placed in good safe place
to keep.
During the next month BY a careful
" tabulated record which he kept on
his cuff he repaid this elusive dollar
Just thirteen times. SO Mt the end Of
the month you will not be surprised to
learn that our friend sent the donor. Of
the original dollar this curt note:
