His Business

From the New York Tribune.
A rich man on his way to an elevated
tsation happened to see poor man SELL
ing pencils. He gave him So gold piece
instead of a nickel? When he discovered
his mistake some hours later he rushed
back to where the needy one usually
stayed, only to find that the man had al
ready gone home. He succeeded in get
ting his address and to his surprise found
that he lived in big house on a fash
ionable avenue. After few minutes
waiting an elderly gentleman appeared
and asked what he could do for him. The
generous one was dumbfounded. When
he finally found his voice he asked If he
could have the IS gold piece he gave the
beggar that morning. The "beggar" said
that he would look through his days col
lection. On doing SO he found the gold
piece and handed it back to the rightful
owner. who. after thanking him, started
for the door only to be recalled and
asked for the sum he really intended to
give. That was his business, the old
man explained, and he could not afford to
lose picking. The gentleman threw him
a nickel and took his departure hastily.
