A middle-aged spinster who lived Id
tho suburbs had a flno orchard. She
likewise had a heap of trouble with
lot of youngsters, who looked on the
orchard aB something placed there for
their especial benefit
Finally the spinster decided that she
could do more with kindness than with,
a fence rail, so she prepared a feast
of apples and other dainties and In
vited every small boy in the burg to
Join tho Jubilee.
"Now, toll me, boys," said the host
ess at the conclusion of the feast,
"would tho apples you have Just eaten
tasted so good had you stolen them?"
"No. ma'am," answered little Willie
Smith, with surprising frankness.
"I am certainly glad to hear you say
that, llttlo man," responded the spins
ter, with a glow of pleasure. "Why
wouldn't thoy havo tasted so good?"
"Because," came tho equally frank;
roply of Willie, "we wouldn't have had
no Ice cream and cake with them."
