A Nice Calculation.

Two very dear oid ladies walked up to the window where tickets were to be be sold for two popular concerts. They wanted tickets for both nights, but alas! those tor the second evening were all gone. This was Hw more popular entertainment of the two. "I’m so sorry, my dear!" pattered one of the old ladles to the other. “We did want to go, didn’t we, and we wanted to go both nights.” "You couldn’t giive us two tickets for each night?” inquired the other, of the clerk. "No, ma’am." “You haven’t two seats anywhere for the second night?” “No, ma’am. Couldn’t give you noseroom.” A great resolution beamed upon her gentle face. “Then,” said she firmly, “give m r four tickets for the first night W' will make them do.” "Why, sister,” quavered the other, “are you going to invite somebody?" "No,” said she, “but if we can’t go both nights ” She paused, bewildered. quite out of her calculation. Then a happy thought struck her, and she added, “We’ll go twice the first night.”
