Cheery Words.

“Cheery words cost nothing.” “That’s where you are way off. I said two cheery words yesterday and they cost me $17.” “How did that happen?” “Well, I slapped a big the batik and said, ‘Hellc Fatty!’” “That was all right.” “No, it wasn't; he turned out to be a man I didn’t know, so we knocked each other down, and got Into court.”—Boston Journal.
