Show His Chief End in Life. There lived in an English town a wealthy but exceedingly "tight" old lady, who kept very few servants and paid them as little as possible. Among these was an underfed, miserable-looking lad of fourteen, who answered an-swered the door, did the dishwashing, waited at table, weeded the garden, washed the dog and a few other things. One day a visitor asked this lad: "Well, my boy, aud what do you do around here?" "I do a butler, a kitchen maid and a gardener out of a job," replied the toy gravely. |
