couldn't understand why it did 10 so

Stung Both Ways
Thompson Proved to Be
the Goat" First and Last

Thompson has a great liking TO
khiva rugs. and during the five year.
he has been married has INDUCED hi
fondness to the extent of four fin,
khivas, each of which is treasure il
itself and a source of delight in the
Thompson household.
1t Is, however, a well-known fac
that 1t is possible to get too much Of
a good thing, and Thompson had this
truth brought home to him forcibly
one evening, not long ago, upon ar
irving home GREATNESS with expec
fancy at the pleasure his wife was ex
periencing in the possession of a new
khiva rug he had that day sent out
to her.
Instead of shouts OF approval and
little 'yips" of delight, he came upon
much nonplused little woman who
inquired: Say, Leonard, why in the
world did you buy another Khiva?
We've got four already. Why didn't
you get some other kind of a rug?"
Thompson told her that he had
bought the rug at bargain. That
Tom Seward, friend of his, a rug
buyer. had picked it up cheap in New
York and, knowing his (Thompson's)
weakness for khivas, had brought it
along and had given it to him at actu.
al cost.
How much did it cost you, dear?"
asked Mrs. Thompson resignedly, and
Thompson, trying to make the best Of
bad slip, told her without tremor,
Only $50, dear"
In reality he had paid $50 for the
rug, which was one that would retail
for about $3.50.
Sixty dollars" echoed his wife
Sixty dollars. Why, Leonard Thomp-
son, do you mean to tell me that you
paid $50 for that rug? Why, goodness
me, the rug l saw down town is much
handsomer than this, and do you know
what they ask for it? Only $50. Only
$780," she repeated, and l would soon
er have 1t than two like this one, and,
besides, the pattern of this one Is not
pretty at all; it's too shallow and it
looks out of place alongside the rich
colors of our other Khivas. | do wish
you had said something to me about
1t before you went and paid out $50 for
a rug | wouldn't give $40 for"
Thus matters stood, and Thompson
felt SO bad about it that he told 1.-THE
bunch the whole story next day at
lunch
When he got home that night his
wife was at the door waiting for hin,
and she danced him gleefully into the
parlor and joyfully pointed to the
place where, on the previous evening,
the disappointing Khiva lay.
Ihere was no rug there, and Thomp-
son stammered out: h-where-what
did you do with it? Where has it
