A Street Incident.

Despite the four inch sole of his left
boot the man limped.
"Shine, boss?"
He looked at his feet. Yes, he need
ed shine. And. leaning against a
lamp post, he put first one foot and
then the other on the little arabs box
all glittering with bright brass nails.
"How much:" he said at the end.
"a nickel, boss"
But the cripple tapped with his UNI
brella the thick side Of his left boot,
and, smiling awkwardly, he said in a
constrained voice:
But you ought to charge extra for
thing like that"
The boy, without looking up, answer
ed in a low tone:
mo, nickel's enough. don't
want to make no money out of your
hard uck.''-New Orleans Times

"but, then, it isn't worth while to envy
people, to envy anybody. III this old

You'd think, to look at him. that he
