BILLY'S KINDNESS.
BY EDWARD b. CLARK.

goes down to the Office early every morning,

telephone and does his best to stand off PEG.

per, come up on the elevator to have it out.
There Is no name for Billys job In any news
paper office, but named or nameless, it il
a job that is joyless
Billy has brother who is an electrical ex.
pert in New York city, where he works fol
the biggest concern in the land and makes as
many thousands year as Billy makes dol
lars a week. The brother is sent by his
company all over the United States to see
about installing plants in different cities and
to pass on the fruitfulness of the ground fol-
electrical operations. Billy's brother passed
through the city the other day and calling
on Billy said he was on his way to Omaha,
where there was big fight on between his
and another company for certain municipal
rights, and where the city government was
divided between the two parties to the con
test
II hope to win out" said the brother in
parting, but there's legal fight on as well,
and the affair may take some time before a
settlement is reached"
-Four days later, less than half an houI
after Billy Smith had reached his desk, a
stranger appeared and laid this card before
him.
