A vicar asked a pretty young helper in his parochial work to approach a new and wealthy landowner for a subscription. She did so, and returned the next day to the vicar.
"Look!" she said, smiling. "He's given me a cheque for £100. I got on splendidly with him."
The vicar was delighted, and put out his hand for the cheque. When he received it, however, he found that the signature had been cut away.
"Oh, yes," explained the girl, in answer to his question, " coer autographs, and I cut it out ant pasted it in my book."
