Show MET SITUATION ALL RIGHT Small Boy at Least Showed That He Was Possessed of the Quality of Resourcefulness. Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock of Nebraska remarked at a social gathering gather-ing that when one was doing his best it was all that could be expected of him, and contributed the following story as an illustration: One afternoon little Jimmy was invited in-vited to take tea with a chum, and when he returned home he found his mother anxiously waiting for him. "I hope, Jimmy," said the mother, after listening to sundry details of the affair, "that you remembered to wash your hands before you went to the table." "We were called in so quickly," answered an-swered Jimmy, "that I didn't have time to wash but one." "Wash but one?" exclaimed his mother, with much concern. "What did you do?" "Why, I ate with that one," was the reassuring reply of Jimmy, "and kept the other in my pocket." Philadelphia Phil-adelphia Telegraph. |
