Why So Many?

Arkansas Traveler.l
A man who was so much interested
in the condition of lower class people
throughout the country, fell into CONVEX
sation, while on railway train, with a
Missourian.
" Are there very many distressing cases
of poverty il your ?'
Not great many" the Missouran
replied, "When we hear OF family
that is very destitute, we chip in and help
them out"
"The readiest way, surely, to relieve
distress" said the interested man, but
/ have observed that it is better to find
work for people than to give them mon
ey. People to whom money is given rare
ly know how to spend it."
"I reckin that's about so," the Mis-
sourian replied "Some time ago a pow
erful poor family came to our town,
There was a widow and three daughters
two Of them about grown. They took NJ
their quarters in an old, deserted house
and it wasn't long until we heard tina
they hadn't anything to eat. Well, a 10
of us went out TO the old house, and, SURE
enough, there they were mighty nigl
starved to death. Right there, sir, W,

By this time poor Bonnie was in mann

would come.

But mamma only smiled into the up

thought how she might best prepare the

Was Bennie Right ?

People often said that Bonnie Merton
was a quaint child, TWAS not strange,
perhaps, that he should be thoughtful
beyond his years. He had had so few
young playmates, had never known the
companionship of brother or sister, and
his papa had died when Bonnie was a
tiny baby in long dresses.
One day when he was but three years
old, some one had asked, Bonnie, whom
do you love best in all the world?" The
reply came instantly:
Mamma and Santa Claus and Jesus"
Indeed, Santa Claus has always been a
very real hero to Bonnie, and it was not
until he was almost six years old that
his faith in the dear old saint was shaken.
One evening just after Christmas,
when mamma had undressed him, he sat
before the CRATE toasting his pink toes,
and looking in his baggY white night
drawers, " for all the world like young
polar bear" as Uncle Jack said.
But Bonnie hadn't smile for uncle's
jokes tonight, which was sure sign that
something was amiss. To tell the truth
Bonnie was very much troubled.
"What ais the child?" asked uncle
Jack in an undertone of his mamma.
He's puzzling out something was
the reply. 81 think he will tell us in bis
own time if we leave him to himself"
Mamma" asked Bonnie presently
didn't you say that grandpa gave mt
the new coaster?"
"Yes, dear"
"And that it was uncle Jack gave mi
the building blocks and top?"
"Yes."
"And the books you said were iron
Uncle Georges family, and the ball iron
Will Tracy, and you and grandma CAV
me the desk and the games?"
Why yes, Bonnie; you thanked then
