Show Politeness la New York. I heard the other day of a delightful eld country parson who came to New York as the guest of a son who is successful success-ful in business here. The old gentleman did not go about alone after the first time, because he said it wrung his heartstrings heart-strings to hear the tales of woe the beggar beg-gar poured into his ears. He could no more wave a beggar aside than you or I could strike a child, and yet he only grieved at the pain their stories gave him, and at his inability' to solace them 11 with money. When the rampant newsboys tugged at his sleeves and yelled, "Here yer evening paper!" be bent over with studied politeness and aid in bis gentle voice: "I've got one already, thank you, Johnny." How the little ruffians stared at that! Julian Ralph in Chatter. i |
