Didn't Like To BE Laughed At.

Over on State street one day last week
q man slipped in the slush and fell
sprawling. His bundles went flying
through the air and came down in q
state of confusion. The man looked
very comical, and several hundred people
stopped to litter. A smile spread over q
sea of faces. But the man did not rise.
A look of pain came on his face, and he
raised his hand as if beseeching aid. A
dozen men rushed forward to help him,
and the women exclaimed, "Oh, he is
hurt" and looked oceans of sympathy.
The man was helped to his feet and his
packages collected and carefully placed
in his arms, while two or three good
samaritans wiped the slush from his
clothing and nicely smoothed out his
ruffled silk hat Then he staggered away,
followed by many anxious eyes. But
