Willing to Repeat.

The office boy to a large firm of publishers was a smart lad, and when he was sent to one of the operative departments with a message be noticed at once that something was wrong with - the machinery. He returned, gave the alarm and thus prevented much damage. The circumstance was reported to the head of the firm, before whom John was summoned. “You have done me a great service, my lad.” he said. "In future your wages will be Increased $1 weekly.” “Thank you, sir,” said the bright little fellow. "I will do my best to be worth it and to be a good servant to you.” The reply struck the chief almost as much as the lad’s previous service had done. “That’s the right spirit, my lad,” be said. “In all the years I have been In business no one has ever thanked me in that way. I will make the Increase $2. Now, what do you say to that?” “Well, sir,” said the boy after a moment’s hesitation, “would you mind If I said It again?”—Philadelphia Ledger.
