Show Youthful Son's Gratitude. The Martins were on a trip covering a period of three or four weeks. They left at home Master Edward Martin, aged eight years, to whom his father wrote nearly every day. In each letter let-ter was enclosed a shining silver dime. Five or six of these dimes had been sent to Master Edward without any acknowledgment ac-knowledgment of the generosity. Then came this brief and to-the-point missive: mis-sive: "Dear Father: Every time you have wrote to me since you went away you put a dime in your letter. Please write oftener to Your loving son, "Edward." |
