aire baker, not only distributed food to
the poor men in the "bread line" he had
established in New York, but he also got
those men employment. Hewent among
them and conversed with them and the
delicacy of his questions to them, and the
care he took not to hurt their feelings
was remarkable.
One day reporter complimented Mr.
Fleischmann on this tact Of his. The
philanthropist said:
sThe more unfortunate and wretched
people are, the more sensitive they are
the more easily they are wounded. The
public does not bear this fact enough in
mind.

being proyed-sometimes pathetically
sometimes humorously. 1t was proved
humorously to friend OF mine last sum

was climbing mountains and viewing
lakes and torrents. One morning on 8
