Here's Example of Taking Advantage
of Opportunities Which Should
Teach Good Lesson.

An old farmer and his son were at
work in the field near the roadside
when his son discovered dead turkey,
which probably was discarded by an
other farmer who was on his way to
the market. Both were curious to learn
the cause of it's death. They brought
the turkey to the barn, dissected the
fowls body and obtained an egg. The
boy set the egg and the result was a
fine turkey gobbler THAT was sold the
next summer for S5. With this money
the boy purchsed pig. The next
summer the young capitalist sold his
sow and eight pigs for $50. He then
bought two thoroughbred helfers.
The ensuing fall he had two mllch
cows and calves which he sold for
5000. His final investment was in two
one-year-old fllly colts.
After a lapse of five years the lad
was the custodian Of two good mares
and $1,000 in gold which he procured
in the sale of their colts. And today
this farmers son Is studying agricul-
ture and animal husbandry in a state
university as the result Of one turkey
egg.-Thrift Magazine.

Exploded Theory.

The married man concluded to try
out his new theory. Addressing his
spouse he said:
"My dear, should like TO go to
Jones' tonight for several hours. Mr..
Jones is not Ill and does not require
any sitting up with. If he did should
let his wife do 1t. Mr.. Jones is per-
fectly we'll, so far as l know, except
for certain itching for q poker game.
He is notoriously rotten poker
player, and very likely could be nicked
for several dollars in the course of
the evening. There might be some
thing to drink-he did not specify con-
cerning that. He only said my pres
ence would be appreciated. l am sure
that since 1 have told you the truth
about this affair you will consent to
my going. Am I right?"
He was not.-Kansas City Star.
