" Father," began the boy, as he looked up from his first history, "are silver mines very fresh ?" " Fresh ! What do you mean ?" v Why, they have to put salt, into 'em to make 'em keep, don't they ?"
" What nonsense !• I don't understand ysu." " Weil, I heard borne men in the car say that you salted a silver mine, and made a hundred thousand dollars, and I wanted to assk what the salt was for."
The way that boy was handed, off to bed made him dream of cyclones all night.— Wall Street News.
