The force of childhood recol!ections
and the truth of the quotation, "A
touch OF nature makes the whole world
akin We're shown graphically by a
little incident in restaurant the 9th
er day. quiet looking, middle aged
man OF prosperous appearance was
eating his dinner when another well
dressed man took n seat opposite him.
After giving his order in bluff, genial
manner the newcomer took a sip Of
water and faced around. Suddenly a
queer expression came over his face
rs he watched attentively the actions
of his vis-a-yis, and apparently with
cut realizing what he was doing he
blurted out in a loud tone, well, we'll,
well,'
Every one at the table, including the
quiet looking man, started, aud the
others. observing the direction of the
speakers gaze. turned their eyes also
upon him of the quiet appearance to
see what had caused the exclamation.
The man who had come in first was
in the act of spreading sugar over a
slice of buttered bread, and when he
realized that all eyes were turned upon
him he blushed like one detected in a
heinous crime and almost fell off his
chair It took him minute or two to
recover, and then I've said to the table
in general:
Il used 70 get bread and butter and
sugar for being good when was a
child, and eating it is Il habit which l
like to indulge in even yet. l know it
isn't upon the restaurant bin of fare,
but l couldn't resist the temptation"
Il must beg your pardon for my rude
exclamation" replied the other man.
MY mother used to put bread and
butter and sugar in my lunchboX when
| went to school as an S-year-old up in
the country town where | was raised,
and | haven't eaten any since my
childhood, and guess I'll join you in
a piece now for the sake of old times"
And he did.-Bangor Wing.
