OF the kindIiest disposition, with more
Of the milk Of human kindness In his
heart than Is allotted 20 the average

kindly. and 20 those in mental or f1nan-
cial trouble, or suffering physical Ms
he was like a brothehr.
He never forgot friend and quickly
forgave an enemy. For years he had
a pensioner-a former feIlow-workman.
who, in days gone. had been prosperous,
but whom misfortune and advancing
years and the passing away Of rela-
tives. had cast into the care OF chart
table Institution. This veteran received
every week from the cashier OF one Of
the local papers an envelope from Mr..
Jones. inclosing a small portion of Mr..
Jones' salary as an aid to MS former
friend to buy some of the little Injuries
and necessities, such as tobacco, which
the charitable home did not give its in
mates.
When failing health forced Mr. Jones
TO reIinquish the activities OF his craft
and retire. and with little or no income.
he managed in some way to keep up his
weekly pension contribution. When his
funds rar short his host Of friends and
active newspaper friends in the mechan-
ical departments Of the newspaper on
which he had worked so long. quietly
collected nice little fund by voluntary
contribution and placed II in the hands
OF one of their members To be maid to
Mr.. Jones weekly. Out Of that fund he
insisted upon paying TO his old friend
the weekly pension. saying that he could
with pleasure deprive himself OF some
thing each week so as to enable him to
contribute his mite to his needy veteran
