A Financier.

Father gave George and Pauline each a quarter with stipulation that the money should not be spent foolishly. When George arrived home that evening with a couple of tops, a sack of "comboes,” a few “immies,” a box of paint, some candy and a squirt gun, his father took him to task. “George, didn’t I tell you very plainly that you were not to spend your money foolishly?” “Yes, dad, but I didn’t. See, here’s my quarter.” And George displayed his money. “Great Scott I How did you come by these things, then? You didn’t steal them, I hope.” ■ “ ’Course not, dad,” answered George, reassuringly, “you see, I Just spent sister’s quarter.”—lndianapolis Star.
