<U Jt, Personal j Recollections of a Dollar \\X / I am a dollar. A little \ x\MA I" M .age wt>rn * “ayb®, but still y ,n circulation. I am proud of myself for being in cireolation. I am no tomato can dollar—not I. HBHBB This town is only my adopted home, but I like it and hope to remain permanently. When I came 2JF HE out of the mint I was - —adopted into a town like I :* this in another state. But Hz 'YN- after a time I was sent off ' *< • to a big city, many miles H away. I turned up in a H * Mail Order house. For sevoral years I stayed in that HI B&r Clty ’ Millionaires bought |Hz'< ’ ' "Bms; cigars with me. I didn’t like that for j believe in the plain people. . » Finally a traveling man brought me to this town and left me I was so glad to get back to a smaller town that I deter■tined to make desperate efforts to stay. |B One day a citizen of this town was about to send me back to ffißiat big city. I caught him looking over a Mail Order Catalogue. HKiddenly I found my voice and’said to him—he was a dentist, by He way: M “Now, look here, doc. If you’ll only let me HB stay in this town I'll circulate around and do |n you lots of good. You buy a big beefsteak me, and the butcher will buy groceries, F and the grocer will buy dry goods, and the dry ■ goods merchant will pay his doctor’s bill with |O me, and the doctor will spend me with a B farmer for oats to feed his buggy horse, and will buy some fresh beef from the Hand the butcher will come around to his tooth mended. In the long run, » e *’ ll be more useful to you here at you’d send me away forever.” .B as a mi R ht .v stiff argument. Ho hadn’t looked Htefore So h. Jgjwgfl? 4 ; , Heulate around home again.
