"I just got a long letter from my nephew, Henry," he said, as he lit his corncob pipe, "and I surely was glad to hear that he was getting along ao welL Henry has made a great success in life, and it was all due to a little, innocent looking news paper advertisement" Somebody asked to be told all about it, and, needing no urging, Mr. Beasley continued: ' ,., "Not long after Henry came out of college, he saw the advertisement I speak of. It said that a wealthy lady wanted a competent man to take charge of her real estate to collect the rents, superintend repairs, and so on. "Henry thought that looked like a pretty good job, so he packed his grip and took the train at once. He found that the woman was a young widow who owned a whole lot of real estate and was having a peck . of trouble trytng to take care of it "Henry said she showed him a long list of the yarious properties she own ed, told him what the work would consist of, and then, looking him square in the eye, she says, 'I want you to give me your references and tell me all about yourself, and then I am going to look you up and see that you are all right. I am mighty par ticular about it because my idea is that a man will never take care of a lot of .property such as I own and do his work the way it ought to be done unless he has a personal interest in it, and consequently I intend to marry the man that gets the job.' That lets me out,' says Henry, reaching for his hat 1 am not look ing for a wife, and if I was I wouldn't take one in this kind of a way. No,' says Henry, getting hot under the collar, 'I wouldn't marry you if you were ten times as rich and twenty times as as ' 'As what? asks the woman laughing. 'Never mind,' says I Henry, starting for the door. "But the woman made him come back and sit down again. 'You are just the kind of a man I am looking for,' she said. 'You are the eighteenth man who has been here after this )ob, and everyone of the others just jump ed at what he thought was a chance to marry me. I am looking for a level-headed, honorable, businesslike man, and I guess you are the man. Lowncy's Candies Pound Boxes 50c andep.

Mr. Beasley, "and he's kept it even since, and a mighty pleasant sal profitable one it is." The old man laid back in his chair. and, as he refilled his pipe, chuckled and wagged his head, as if something amused him very much. Finally somebody asked .him what he was laughing about He looked around at all of us with a twinkle us his eye. "I did not tell you the best part oi it, he said.
