PLEA8URE8 OF THE POOH
"Tho palnB of poverty," wrote Thorn
as Do Qulnccy, "I had lately Been too
much of; mora than I vlnbcd to re
tnombcr; but tho pleasures of tho
poor, their consolations of spirit, and
their' reposes from bodily toll, can
nover becomo oppressive to contem
plate" Indeed there aro pleasures of
tho poor, says tho Kansas City Star
Ono is not so Ruro of tho delight ot
"reposes from bodily toll." That
phraso, as used by Do Qulncoy, Is
reminiscent of Senator Vest's story of
tho little negro boy who was pounding
his finger with a hammer and was cry
ing from tho pain. "Why do you do
that?" tho seuator asked hlra, "Oh,"
ho said, "It fools so good whon I quit."
Hut If tho toll Is not oppressive, sure
ly tho "period of rest Is tho Bweotor
becauso of It. Tho pleasures of tho
poor lncludo a lovo of good reading
and leisure for It; appetites for tho
best eating In tho world, boiled din
ners; childhood, storing momorles of
Bwlmmln holeB and bare feet nnd cir
cuses and bumble boo fights; tho treat
of an occasional good play; tho not'
miserly exultation at money put by for
a rainy day; tho selfish satisfaction of
self-sacrifice; tho romanco of youth
whoro marrlago Is of helpmates, "pard
ncrs." Oh, there aro pleasures of the
poor and a country whoso pioneers
Know them so well, whoso newer com
munities know them yet so well, must
restore them by eradicating needless
unlllumlncd povorty.

About half an hour beforo nap-time,

that will keep him busy for a long
