She Paid Extra.

A widow, whose age might have been forty, went into business on Grand River avenue, and the first move was to get a sign painted. The .services of a sign painter were secured, and when he finished his work he put on his “imprint” by placing his initials, “W. A. H.,” down on the left-hand corner of the sign. When the widow came to criticise the work she queried: “What does ‘W. A. H.’ stand for?” “Why, ‘Wanted, A Husband,’ ” replied the painter. “Oh, yes—l; see,” she mused. “It was very thoughtful of you, and here is a dollar extra!”— Detroit Free Press.
