What He Bought.

A Syracuse business man living in one of the suburbs decided to give up his spacious back yards to the raising of currants as a profitable side Issue. So, wishing to absorb all the information he could acquire on the subject of the currant industry, he went down town one Saturday after nojp recently and returned with his arms full of hooks. “Well, Teddy*” Inquired his enthusiastic spouse, as' he dumped the volumes on the table, “did you succeed in getting what you wanted?” "Sure, I did!” he replied, proudly pointing to the books. “I bought a whole year’s edition of a standard work on current literature.” —Exchange.
