We are the fifty-cent fool. Who is the ignoramus at Remington? Seward of ladastry. A poor friendless lad night bars bean teen wandering along the streets looking for employment He presently halted in front or a butcher ah op, and. walking boldly up to the proprietor, awed for a job. There was something in the young man's frank, honest countenance, which •truck the proprietor favorably. “ Not afraid of hard work r he asked, "No," responded the led with a trembling voice.

One day an old lady came in to got some beef, and the proprietor iold him to attend to the customer. "A tenderloin steak, if you please," said she. 44 Here’s a cut that nobody but the first families get,” responded the boy smilingly as lie sliced off four pounds of lough round and cast it with a heavy hand on the scales, jamming it down with a quick, dexterous movement, until the iudicator marked s’x even pounds.

The proprietor of the stall called him iu that night, and remarking that he had watched his course carefully, added that as a reward for his quick, comprehensive grasp of the business he would raise his salary to $25 per week.

In case yon find it in counting up tonight, lay it aside and I’il redeem it.” Then the traveler, accompanied by the merchant, took position where the back door and the alley could be kept in view, and in less than ten miwute.2 out came the head clerk and emptied a handful of silver on the head of a barrel and pawed it over.
