North St. Louis Savings Trust Company INVITES YOUR PATRONAGE Grand Avenue and Hebert Street ST. LOUIS Local Pride - A Theatrical company which carried its own orchestra was playing in a small town of the Middle West, and as the theater in that town had an orchestra of its own, the two orchestras doubled up . At one point in the first performance a terrible discord was heard and the man- ager noticed that the local musicians were playing at least half a tone lower than the key maintained by the company's orches- tra. What's the matter? , whispered the manager to the local orchestra's leader. Your men are playing half a tone lower than the others! ' ' 'They are,' ' said the leader, ' :and let me tell you that's the only way we can let the audience know that we have two orches- tras.' '--EX. 9 Making It Worth While An Irishman, walking over a plank side- walk while counting some money, dropped a nickel that rolled into a crack between two of the planks. He was much put out and continued on his way, grumbling audi- bly. Early the next day a friend discovered the Irishman in the act of deliberately dropping a dollar down the same crack. The friend was, of course, much aston- ished, and inquired his reason for throw- ing away good money. Yisterday I was passin' this way, the Celt replied, Han' I lost a nickel down that hole. Now, I reasoned that it wasn't worth the trouble to pull up that sidewalk for a nickel, so I am dropping down the dollar to make it worth me while. fEx. F.
