PUTTING THE DEAL OVER.
Little Leslie had been sent to the grocer's to make some purchases for his mother.
The shop was crowded out with customers when the boy arrived, but he managed to wriggle his way up to the counter, and said in a loud voice:
"Please serve me quick; it's for dad's dinner!"
The man behiud the counter knew the lad by sight.
"What do you want, son?" he asked,
"Two bars of soap and a packet of washing powder!" answered little Leslie, who was anxious to be on his way.
