slipped into the little fellows room
one morning aud placed on his table a
bible, a bottle of whisky and dollar.
"Now,' said he, ''ven dot poy come
in, eff he takes dot dollar he vos going
to be beezness man; eff he dakes dot
bible he'll be preacher; aud eff he
dakes dot whisky, he's no goot-he
vos goin' to be drunkart,v and he
hid behind the door to see which the
boy would choose. In came the boy
picked up the dollar and put it in his
pocket; he picked rp the bible and
put it under his arm; then he snatched
up the bottle of whiskey and took two
or three drinks and went out smacking
ing his lips. The old Dutchman
poked his head out from behind the
door and exclaimed: "Mine gracious,
he's going to be a politician.
