A new realization of what wal
means came to the readers in certain
English news room not very long ago
There were readers before all the
stands. The room was full Work peo-
pie curtailed their dinner hour, and
even children, going home from
school, looked in to see the latest
kilograms. The London Academy tells
the story of one small reader.
He came in, little jad in sailor
suit, with cap set we'll back on his
head. Any attempt on his part to read
stands was out of the question. He
was too small to do anything but
look up at them inquiringly
He paused in the center of the
room, eagerly scanning the faces of
the readers, as if trying to solve a
difficult problem. Presently he walked
up to tall man absorbed in the war
kilograms. The child pulled him by
the coat, and in a high whisper pre-
ferred his request:
VIII you ll1t me up! | want to
see the list for mother"
Every head was turned. The gaze
Of all the readers was fastened on the
tall man as he lifted the little boy in
his arms. Evidently the child could
read, for his quick, bright eyes 1ol-
lowed his stubby little forefinger as
it travelled line by line down the
broken column of names. Everybody
watched him breathlessly.
The finger lifted, the boy gave
little wriggle in the tall mans arms,
and exclaimed:
No, e amt there. Mother won't
never buy no paper till l been and
looked, for fear 'er should see it sud-
dint like. Thank you, sir.'
