GETTING VALUE FOR HIS MONEY.
Three young fellows went the other week to spend their holidays. The train was not a fast express, and the passen-
gers were a long time on the. journey.
At one station one visited the refreshment room for a cup of tea, and in a few moments his companions were astonished to see him rush back to. the carriage with a cold ham. On making an inquiry the young man said he gave the waitress half a sovereign to pay for cup of tea, but the engine whistle blew before he received his ohange, and he meant having his money or its value.
This certainly was a rough and ready method, but there are many who know the system adopted at railway stations who will chuckle at the young man's way out of the dilemma.
