WilIIe'o Troubles.

Mr.. and Mrs. Smith we're passing
the home of an old lady they knew
In an adjoining town. She was the
mother Of one Of their neighbors and
SO they stopped their car for a mo-
ment to chat.
There 10 nothing to be alarmed
about now" said Mrs. Smith, but for
a while little Willie gave US q great
scare"
Little Willie was the old lady's
grandson, and she was promptly deep
ly interested. Mrs. Smith explained
that Willie had frightened his parents
by swallowing a dime. The doctor
was summoned and after a while the
worriment was over and Willie was
out of danger.
After the Smiths went on, Willie's
grandmother called up her daughter
on the telephone and said. II hope
Willie is all over his financial difficult
ties by this time"
