GENEROSITY
A well-known New York contractor went into the tailor's, donned his new suit, and left his old ono for repairs. Then he sought a cafe and refreshed the inner nun; but as ho reached in his pocket to settle his cheek, he realised that ho had neglected to transfer both purso and watch when he left his suit. As he hesitated, somewhat embarrassed, he saw a bill on tho floor at his feet. Seizing it thankfully, he stepped to the cashier's desk and presented both check and money. "That wns a two-dollar bill," ho explained when he counted his change, "I know it," the cashier replied, with a toss of her blonde head. I'm dividing with you. I saw it first."—'"Lippincott's."
