Pity and the Picturesque

There was widow cher husband
had been dead for a fortnight) who
lived in humble and honest way, and
who achieved triplets at stroke. Two
newspapers, touched, and rightly, by
her indigence, decided that candy
shop would be a pleasant thing for
her. They ran a human story that
fairly dripped mercy and loving kind
ness, telling of the tenement home,
the bereavement. and the scheme for
ready bargains in caramels and choco-
late kisses. The public, which is
everything rather than stony.hearted,
sent back $1,000 and the widow was
able not only to start her shop, but to
include soda fountain. This is the
same public that throws newspapers
and banana peels into the hospitable
gutter, and thereby cuts off the ap-
propriations for tenement house In
spection: spits on the sidewalks and
Ia public buildings, and thereby mul.
tiplies disease. The average person
responds to obvious signs of sympathy
