BOYS GRATITUDE WAS REAL
He, Long Cared for Grave Of Man
Who Had Been Kind to Him
Many Years Ago.

Rev. John Henri Sattig, pastor Of
st. Philips church, Dyker Heights,
Brooklyn, tells this beautiful story:
"In Milford. Pa. there is an old
graveyard. neglected, weet. grown and
unkempt. OF all the mounds in that
village Of the dead only one is cared
for. On that the grass is neatly
trimmed, flowers bloom and never a
weed appears. The visitor who looks
upon this evidence of love and devo-
ton amid SO many examples of for
getfulness usually asks whose grave
1t Is, and the sexton answers: The
man whose body rests there had
neither chick nor child. Nearly every
day for the six years since the man
died a boy ONE here to tend to the
grave. Winter and summer he comes.
The lad is the butcher boy. The man
was the only human being who ever
was kind to the boy"

up a herd of wild ponies, selects the
