HIS HONESTY WAS REWARDED

It pays to read the Argus. It paid Thomas Wetherbee 57 cents for the reading of one copy.

Thomas Wetherbee Is the lad who found the purse on the campus and took such unusual pains to find the owner. It was not called for at the secretary's office, and so was returned to Hhomas. Two or three nights later a gentleman called on Thomas and said the purse belonged to his cousin. He was glad to get the railroad tickets which it contained but turned over the 57 cents to Thomas "as a reward of merit, as the Argus advised."

Thomas added more to this sum and "bought a new inner tube for his front wheel -- for the old one had exploded," said the boy.
