Uncle Billy Dawson who lived in the
house where Mr. Crounze was reared,
was a kind hearted man, who never lost
a chance to hold out hope to the despair
ing and sympathy to the suffering. Io
was always ready with the proof that
however hard a neighbours lot was, 10
might have been many fold worse; and
his ingenuity at finding a recompensing
gain for every loss that any one might
suffer was q matter of local wonder
ment.
One day somebody told Uncle Billy
that his neighbor, Thomas Darrow, had
fallen under the cars and lost a leg.
Uncle Billy stood in silence several
minutes, looking at the ground. Then,
raising his eyes, he said:
"Well, I'm awful sorry for poor Tom,
but there's some consolation in the
thought that a pair o. socksll last him
twice as long a they ust TO, and to a
man as poor as lac is that's a good deal"
The next day Uncle Billy called on the
injured man, and to his surprise learned
that Tom had lost both legs A little
Disconnected, Uncle Billy stood by the
bed in solemn consideration. Presently.
however, his face frightened, and he
said:
DWELL, Tom, if you had to loose one
leg its mighty good job that you lost
two"
so, Uncle Billy" said Tom, chow can
you say such a thingf"
"'Cause it's true, Tom, true as gospel.
You see if you'd only lost one leg you'd
be thinkin about it an woritin' about il
all the time, but now, you see, the loss Of
each one'll serve to keep your mind oG'n
the loss Of the other lisa great blessin'
you lost 'em both, Tom, stead o. only
one. "-Washington Post.
