We recently saw one of our

basket of fruit. A few evenings
after we passed him again and
he had a small package Of candy.
On both occasions we walked
with gentleman, who remarked
to us that the gentleman with
the candy was good fellow, but
he blew in all he had foolishly.
We merely smiled in reply but
could not help, in our mind, as
we walked along, drawing con-

perhaps as much as the candy
