Pride Of the Ponr

Mrs. Clarence Burns, who is so well
known for her philanthropic work,
says that in all her experience in visit
ing the tenements of the poor Of the
city she has never been asked for aims.
Mrs. Burns has made business of Wis
iting the poor with the hope of helping
them whenever she saw the need, but
finds it almost impossible to make the
really deserving poor acknowledge that
they are In need of anything.
One day she visited n family who
were all huddled together in one bare,
cold room, and their faces were so
pinched she knew they were starving
But in response to her offer to help
them the mother said:
mo, thank you. The children have
had something today. l am sure to get
work soon."
After questioning as to just exactly
what the children had had to eat Mrs.
Burns found that they had subsisted
for three days on n few dried scraps Of
stale bread. This experience. she says,
is repeated frequently.-New York
Tribune.

Jones caught n small pike, and as il
was understood, being barely four
pounds. he cut the hooks out of it's Gull

fish again. Once more he cut out the

moved one of the eyes. The selfsame
