Show Charity by Machinery. Poor Man W'u'd yo bo so kind, Ir, as to stop a moment! It was you, sir, that saved my wlfo's lifo last year by glvln' me a dollar fer somo medicine. Please, sir, she's sick ag'ln, an' tho samo way. Mr. Hlghmlnd I havo recently boon convinced of tho folly of Indiscriminate Indis-criminate giving, and I now distribute distrib-ute by donations through tho Business Busi-ness Men's Charity trust, organized for tho purposo of investigating each caso. I left a dollar with tho secretary secre-tary not flvo minutes ago. Qo and tell him your story. Mr. Hlghmlnd (an hour later) Ah! Did you go to tho secretary, as I directed? di-rected? "I did, sir, an' ho gavo me a five-cent five-cent piece wld a holo in it" "Eh Is that all?" "Yes, sir. I told him about your dollar, but he said tho other 95 cents was kept for salaries an' expenses." N. Y. Wookly. |
