A religious and charitable woman noticed a very down-and-out sort of man standing at the corner of the street near her residence.
One morning she took compassion on him, pressed a dollar into his hand and whispered, "Never despair."
Next time she saw him he stopped her and handed her nine dollars.
"What does this mean?" she asked.
"It means, ma'am," said the man, "that 'Never Despair' won at 8 to 1."



It's what the guests say as they swing out of the driveway that really counts.
