On Christmas day four of our young

their photos, taking together so having
got the best price offered by the photo
grupher decided the price was Very
reasonable and went and sat for their
pictures. But alas when they came to
settle for them they were charged an
extra -5 cents and they were at loss to
know the cause of the udvunce and up
on inquiries they found that the extra
charge was made for photographing a
boll that grew upon one of the quar
tette. The Interesting part of it is the
fact that the owner of the boil refuses
to pay the extra charge while the
others cannot see the reasonableness
of their paying for it und unless Sum
can see It in the light the others view
It they must be content with being as
sessed to help pay for photogruphing
of the boil that grew on Sum's fuce.
