Trifling Mistake. Mrs. Lane is a zealous and loyal ! wife, according to Harper's Magazine, and intends to avoid exaggeration, but she has a. strong tendency in that di-. di-. rection. "It is perfectly wonderful," she said to a patient friend, "to see the way Mr. Lane counts bills at the bank. I think they are so lucky to have him! He'll take a great pile of five and ten and twenty dollar bills and make hia fingers fly just like lightning, aadi never make a mistake!" "Never?" asked the friend, who knew Mrs. Lane's weakness, and: could not forbear the question. "Well no at least," stammered Mrs. Lane, "why, perhaps he might get five or ten cents' out of the way, but not any more, ever."
