how some new white flannel caps got into tho mud the first I 1 saw about it was a group 01 men and boys on the street crossing A man was helping a boy pick up some large square overturned paper boxes rhe boy was more ot a person than you would think from his size the boxes numbered eight or more and made a small wagon load but the boy was carrying them alone when a string broke and into the land they went white flannel caps were in the boxes and a number of them were more or less coated la mud when they reached the sidewalk the boy told me that the ban at the factory did not put enough string ground the boxes now that Is human nature isn t it lou or I 1 would have said tho same have you ever known a boy who would have said that ho neglected to have more string put on the the boy either neglected to audit the string when he took the boxes or else he decided wrong about it wo can sympathize with the boy and all who were blamed or worried by mud on the new white caps but we can learn to shoulder more things which belong to us and more that do not belong to us it is a strengthen ing and educating exercise to ourselves some and give others an occasional rest
