Even Kindness
Cheats

a NAN wrote to Los Angeles
II from Elgin. Ill, the other day
= u and in the letter he put three
dollars. and he asked the mayor of
Los Angeles please to pay the three
dollars to the Electric Railway Co.,
and say no more about it.
Nineteen years ago. the man wrote
he went for ride from Los Angeles
TO Pasadena on the electric car-and
he beat the conductor out Of his fare.
And the three dollars was the 30
cent fare and compound interest on
it for 19 years.
l suppose the man will sleep better
now that he has paid back those 30
cents
What would you do if you could
pay back Something you cheated
for?
If I could 10 tit wouldn't be
money that I would pay. It would
be kindness.
There were two little boys who
came 10 the little country school.
They were strangers and very awk-
ward and queer and timid
They wore queer homemade
clothes and had the funniest hats
you ever saw They were always
very clean, but the way their coats
hung from their shoulders-you
couldn't look at them without laugh
ingi
And the boys used 10 tease them
and the other girls and I stood on
the schoOlhouse steps at recess and
laughed when we saw the big bows
snatch the queer homemade hats
from the little fellows heads and
throw them into a deep snow bank.
And the little fellows cried and were
afraid 20 get their hats-and I look
ed right at them-and laughed
I dream of those little friendless.

day.
Probably they both grew up and
went 10 work in town and II the
truth were known. suppose either

back that day when I stood on the
steps and laughed at the fright and

That's what Mrs. Ida Bailey A

ard she said II before a large audie
nee In a big Chicago club-at that.
The modern woman can cook

she has learned that cabbage cook

Amen.

And as TO the malnutrition-I
asked Aunt Mary about that yester-
day. just 20 see what she'd say-and
here it is-just exactly as she said
It:
"Malnutrition-oh, yes, I know
it's awfully bad form TO eat any
thing because you like It, and no

And yet, somehow, all the girls
and boys I knew had all these things
and had them every single day Of
their lives.
And more than that-every
night, the whole family ate apples
and cracked nuts and there was
bowl Of popcorn on the table and
big plate Of doughnuts and like as
not a plate OF cookies; and every
once In awhile. somebody went down
cellar, and got lot OF maple sugar,
and broke il into manageable Jumps,
and we ate that. too.
