“There are five gold dollars,” said old 
Hearty to Ins young grandson; “one for each 
of your birthdays. What more could a little 
shaver like you wish?” “Only that I was as 
old as you grandpa,” replied the young finan¬ 
cier.— Judge. 
Bobby had been a pretty good little boy all 
day and his father was very much pleased. 
“You will find, Bobby,” said the old man, 
“that virtue is its own reward. I mean by 
that, that every time you do what you ought 
to do you will feel good over it. Do you 
understand;” “Oh, yes,” responded Bobby, 
intelligently; “and now, pa, if you’ll give me 
another piece of pie you'll feel good too.”— 
Buffalo News. 
Not many weeks since a little girl received 
a visit from an uncle she had never before 
seen, but had heard much about. He was 
known to her as “Uncle Benny.” At the close 
of her customary evening prayer she said: 
“Dod blc>s mamma, papa and Tommy, and 
Uncle Benny,” then, after a pause, she added: 
“Dod, his other name is Hopkius!”— Philadel¬ 
phia Call. 
Omaha dame: “Can you read?” New girl: 
“No mum.” O. D.: “Well, I don’t know* but 
that will be an advantage in this case. The 
last girl we had was a great reader, and was 
constantly carrying the latest palters and 
magazines into the kitchen before wo were 
half through with them.” N. G,: “Yes, 
mum.” O. D.: “But that was not the worst 
of it. Just as soon as she read them she would 
use them to start the fire with.” N. G.: “I’d 
never do that, mum. I alters use kerosene.”— 
Omaha. World. 
Presence of Mind: “Auntie, what is a 
nuisance?” Auntie: “A nuisance, tny dear, 
is something that, bothers—that annoys—that 
gives trouble,” Little girl: “I thought it 
was something else. I heard papa tell Mrs. 
McCorkle last night that a nuisance from 
Swan Creek had come to visit us, and he was 
afraid she was going to stay—" Papa (with 
great presence of mind): “Lucy, my child, 
you misunderstood me. What 1 said, Auntie, 
was that one of our newsy aunts was making 
us a pleasant, visit. Have another piece of 
turkey, Auntie ?”—Chicago Tribune.
