Why don't You 90 to Work.

Mrs. Koncistont was sewing when
there came knock. Going to the
door she found boy who begged for
something to eat.
"Why don't you 60 to work ?" ask.
ed she, with hard look on her face.
II can't get any work" he said
"Well, people who won't work can't
expect to eat" she testify replied
.'And you shan't get mouthful here.
You are big enough to do something
for living, but as you don't you can
leave here at once. / shan't encour-
age idleness."
Aud she shut the door in his face
and went back to her work, proud Of
her frmness and the great moral les-
son she had taught.
Three days later another knock dis.
turbed her. She went to the door
and saw boy with small tin pail
in his hand. 1t was full of grated
horse radish, and he wanted her to
buy some.
"Go away, don't want to buy any.
thing" she sn@pped.
cit is only fifteen cents for a pint
he said
81 don't care how much it is.
won't have any pedrlers around hers
anyway. Go away / tell you. Taks
yourself off at once, and don't let mt
see you again"
And with a snort she slammed thI
door to and went back to her work
we'll satisfied with her frmness in re
sisting peddler.
AS it was the same boy who cam
begging three days before, and wa
now on mission to earn something
: it would be interesting to know wha
: he thought. However, that does no
impair the symmetry Of the moral q
DanburV NeaOs.
