tell you never have forgo the E
olks that was good 10 me when II was e
title. Lots of folks never had any use
Of 8 small chap and paid no attention.
8 me and i wasn't 7 in iitt with 'em one E
little bit. They elbowed me one sidel
md walked over me as tif I Was.a dog.
gie. Hut there was q few that knew L
ust how III was when they was littlo
md they would talk TO me and make
Df' me like as'if I was somebody and 7 Il
never forgot 'em. There was one old /
maid we called Jane and she used to- I
Civ me cookies and apples and neVerll
was gruff and chesty. think she was
the handsomest woman 4 ever set eyes
on when q boy tho maybe folks would t
call her homely now. And there was
aunt Sarah that had q great big grape
arbor back Of her house with bnshelsl
Of luscious ones hangin' down in site
and she never offered one to any of us
Youngsters bat would rather they'd rot
than weget taste Of 'em. That ain't
the waysto get to chiidren's hearts.
tell you little folks like to be noticed
and hay got feelings same as older, ones
and if anybody wants to win 'em they
must be chummy with 'em and be good
and respectful and amiable and socia:s
bic and pleasant and sympath hizin' with
'em. 55# IL #5s# s3.s #ssst 35...
What q. pack OF stingy quits lots Of
these rich folks are. hey.pile up their
millions and play the hog game in get
tin money and the hog game in spend
in it. One of the boys was tellin' me t'S
that some Of those millionaire people
down on Wall street are so stingy with.
their wives that they don't Civ 'em.. q
dime spendin' money a week for fear.
they will waste a cent. They'll pay.
thousands for the Women's dress and.
cloaks and costly furnishings to show
of but when it comes for a little pock-
ct money for themselves the women are.
worse off than a wash woman. What
kind Of a dog life that must be to liy5
with such stingy cobs? just like lit;
tie, boy with a gnardeen to carry the
pennies for fear the boy mite buy candy
and gum. / don't wonder sometimes
!. that rich folks are ,despised SO by sensi7
BILE people. Do you spose If 4 had 2 2
mill on I'd skint and skimp my family
cents bset nly and s., Il,
gal Sarah actually ahay more freedom ' g. q

and diamond spangled folks il the dees;
