DICKS GOOD TIME.
Was Enjoying His Well
Earned Reward.

"A portly gentleman sat on the porch
and smiled, while small boy, also
smiling, painted the front fence.
Look at that boy" the portly man
remarked to a. visitor; she thinks he is
having a good time. a small boy is
surely the drollest creature Oh earth.
When l was youngster l remember
considered play, and one of them was
painting. Twas always crazy to paint.
Many times I have taken bucket Of
muddy water and an old paint brush,
and have spent whole half day put
ting a thick coat on the side of my ia
theirs barn.
$50 with my boy, Dick, the little chap
painting the fence; he has always been
crazy to paint. He is enjoying Himself
now-you can see he is; and ne will
paint that whole fence, too, just as
well as he knows how. I don't care if it
is a TITLE smeared; he's getting joy,
solid JOY, thicker than the paint on
his hands and clothes.
There's a mean side to it, too; he
wanted to paint the fence and I wanted
the weeds pulled out of the yard. So.
like an undetermined rascal, l bar
gained with him; told him that if he
would pull all the weeds out would
let him paint the fence. He went
through the other job like a soldier
he hates to pull weeds-all boys do
and now he thinks hs is getting his re-
ward. 1t is downright shame to fool
him that way-don't you think so?'
The portly gentleman ctuckled
again, and the small boy, wild with
JOY, went on plastering paint on the
fence.-Detroit Free Press.
