many people are Just that way.
They are so much taken up with
their own troubles that they never
think that their cheerful neighbors
may have just as great troubles
and perhaps worse.
When Welcome Robin told Peter
what long journey he had made to
get back there TO the Old Orchard
II WAS hard work for Peter to be-
lieve that any one could possibly
travel so far. and II was still harder
for him to believe that any one who
had been 80 far away could hnd
their way back again. And yet he
never had known Welcome Robin
to tell an untruth. so he just had
to believe. But he Just had to ask
how Welcome found his way back.

The salary OF the superintendent

discussion. For the maintenance
OF the receiving hospital. $S7,7s2.50

the cost of hospital maintenance
was $1.s5 per day per capita Sixty
five thousand dollars was asked and
allowed for the care Of sick poor
in private hospitals. A total cut
of $3.50 was made from three
other maintenance items.

dent of the poor commission, at

had little to say. Aid. Tom" Gin

off his coat and passed on most oe

the feeble protests made by other
members OF the committee.
