What She Wanted Them For.
Susie's mother sent her to Warren's
the other day for some shoe strings.
The little girl tipped the door latch
and slowly walked up to the proprie
tor.
"Mamma sent me down for a pair of
shoe string's," and Susie fingered her
pennies nervously as she looked into
the dealer's face. Warren turned to a
bunch of strings upon the wall and
beeran to null a couple out. Then he
- r
stopped.
"How long does she want them?"
Susie looked flustered. "I don't
know, but I think she wants them to
keep." Boston Transcript.

wedded wife?" asked Rev. Madison C.

added, with surmising1 frankness, "I'd
rather it were her sister." N. Y. Her-
