He Worked the Ditto.

Tommy was much interested in hear
ing for the first time in his language
lesson the other day about pair of
little dots that the teacher said meant
"ditto." How his soul, a curious mix
ture of laziness and thrift, thrilled at
learning that if he were to write "a
cat" or five boys" or $50" on one line
and wanted to repeat the same words
or figures on the next line all he had to
do, instead of writing the words in
full, was to put the ditto marks, and
everybody would know it was "a cat"
or five boys" or "$1O," as the case
might be, that was meant. Some time
after this Tommy, while away on a
visit, had occasion to write home. He
simplified the hated task by turning his
latest knowledge to account.
The letter looked like literary polka
dot.

Hearing a young man repeat these
lines from time to time, Confucius
chose him for a son-in-law. He show
ed enough affection for his daughter to
select an honest man for her husband.
yet he admitted into his collection with
out note or comment a ballad which
has done much to perpetuate among his
people a barbarous contempt for wo-
men:
When a son is born-in a lordly bed,
Wrap him in raiment of purple and red;
Jewels and gold for playthings bring
For the noble boy who shall serve the king
When a girl is born-in coarse cloth wound,
With a tile for toy, let her lie on the ground
In her bread and her beer be her praise or her
blame
And let her not sully her parents good name
