a New England farmer sat on his
porch steps one sunny fall morning
doing exercises with his fingers in the
hope of driving the rheumatism out of
his finger joints. A city chap happened
to be passing at the time, and said to
himself:

dumb"
SO, as he was thirsty, he took out
some prDer and pencil, wrote: Twill
you sell me quart of fresh, MILK"
and handed the note over the fence.
The farmer stopped his finger cxer-
cises. read the note, got up without a
word and went into the house. He was
back in Il minute With full pitcher.
The city chap drank the milk and
wrote How muchI" on another slip
of paper.
For answer the farmer held up five
fingers three times. The city chan
paid him. nodded and started off. But
as he was passing out of the gate
he heard a chuckle and the words:

and made it lively for the Women.
Out at this Country Place it hap
pened that Cholley met a Girl who
didn't know how much she was
worth, SO Cholley thought it wonld be
an Act of Kindness to help her find
out. When be sat out with her in
the Cool of the Evening and gave her

William Gets His Reward.
In one of the large Office Buildings
of the City there is a Suite finished
in Dark Wood. At massive roll

Lawyer. who is acquainted with all
the Club Fellows, Society Bucks and
Golf Demons.
When a Client comes in with a

Client departs. Cholley rings Bell

he is full of the Law.
Cholley turns all the Papers over

his Hole and humps himself over the

puts on his slate-colored Gloves and
