H. M. Tippett,
Mayor tf the City of Hallettsville
N. A. Moreland,
Secretary of the City of Hallettsville
He Worked It Successfully, and Yet
He Wasn't Satisfied.
Dawn was breaking over the city
when Mr. North Side ambled into an
all night restaurant. It was still
breaking when he finished his humble
meal and placed what lie supposed
was a dime on the cashier’s desk.
“Could almost tie knots in this one,”
remarked the cashier as she shoved
the coin back. “Lead," she explained.
North Side took the piece, looked at
It critically, dropped it back into his
pocket and tished for the “price.”
Two cents and a nickel rewarded bis
march. -
The cashier had a lien on the nickel
and foreclosed the lien. Mr. North
Bide wondered how he would get home
on the ” cents and a lead dime.
Wnlking was not to his liking, hut It
was either that or go begging, he con-
cluded, as he emerged to the sidewalk.
As he was standing there debating
which alternative to follow a profes-
sional tramp shuffled up and asked for
the price of a breakfast.
North Side waved the man aside.
The beggar, however, was insistent
In order to get rid of him North Side
remarked:
“Don’t you see I’m in
graft? You’re on my beat.
“Quit kidding!” returned the beggar.
“If you don’t feel like giving a quar-
ter give a dime or a nickel.”
This gave North Side an idea. “Ilave
you got a nickel?” he asked. “Yes?
Then give It to me and I’ll give you a
dime. You deserve something for per-
severing so.”
The beggar dug up a nickel from his
trousers pocket, and the exchange was
maul*. North Side waited to see the
tramp quickstep around the corner
and chnckled as he thought of the
beggar's surprise when he tried to
convert his dime Into food. He darted
np the elevated stairs. There was ex-
altation in his manner as he pushed
the nickel over to the ticket agent.
She pushed it back witli one comment:

Stories At Less Than A Cent Apiece
In the fifty-two issues of a year’s
volume The Youth’s Companion
prints fully two hundred and fifty
stories. The subscription price of
the paper is but $1.75, so that the
stories cost less that a cent apiece,
without reckoning in all the rest of
the contents—anecdotes, humorous
sketches, the doctor’s weekly artic-
le, papers on popular topics by fam-
ous men and* women.
Although the two hundred fifty
stories cost so little, they are not
cheap stories. In variety of scene,
diversity of incident, skill and truth
in character-depicting, they cannot
be excelled.

Something on His Mind.
The man from next door dropped in
while the eompnuy were discussing
dreams.
“Some one has discovered that if the
hand of a sleeping person is placed in
salt water that person will reveal the
secrets of his past life.” said the host-
ess, and the visitor immediately began
a hurried search for his hat.
“Where are you going?” she asked
in alarm.
“Going home, to hide the saltcellar.”

In Cuffalo there lives a boy. now
some seven years old. who is the proud
owner of u bulldog designated as Mike
and a much prized pony. Recently a
visitor, endeavoring to test the child’s
knowledge of the value of money, said:
“Willie. I’ll give you 10 cents for
either Mike or the |smy. Which will
yon sell Y” %
Willie pondered for a moment.
“Gimme the dime. You can go get
the pony.” he said.
The visitor handed over the coin and
then strolled out ns though to go to
the barn.
“Why. Willie! Would ybu rather be
should have your pony than Mike, and
do you think 10 cents is enough for a
pony?” his mother protested.
Willie paused at the door and grin-
ned. ^
“You know Mike is out at the liarn,
I
an' if any one can take that pony out
while he’s there he’s wchmujc to him.
I’d ’a’ sold him for a cenr!*’.- Harper’s.

Limited Power.
An American concert manager tells
of an English singer whose voice. of
great sweetness of tone and wonder
ful compass, was yet so powerful that
no orchestra could drown its tones.
On the occasions when this singer’s
husband acted as her musical manager
he appeared especially anxious to im-
press the audience with this fact of
the great power of her voice and more
thau once displayed liis desire in an
amusing way. At one time the lad,'
