VALUE
There, little dollar, don't you cry;
You may buy something by and by.
A Pennsylvania farmer was the owner of a good Alderney cow. A stranger, having admired the animal, asked the farmer: "What will you take for your cow?"
The farmer scratched his head for a moment, and then said: "Look a-here, be you the tax assessor or has she been killed by the railroad?"
CALLER—"It's a good thing to teach your boy the value of money, as you are doing."
HOST—"Well, I don't know. He used to behave for ten cents, but now he demands a quarter."
FOOTPAD—"Your money or your life!"
MRS. TIGHTLY—"That's reasonable enough, Jake! You've got only 50 cents."
