CHARITY
A tradesman in a certain town put a box outside his shop one day, labeled "For the Blind." A few weeks afterward the box disappeared.
"Halloa! What's happened to your box for the blind?" he was asked.
"Oh, I got enough money," he replied. "And," pointing upward to the new canvas blind that sheltered his shop-window, "there's the blind. Not bad, is it?"
At a Chamber of Commerce dinner a speaker dwelt at great length upon the suffering people of China. He suggested that all present should give something for them. A small dry-goods merchant arose and said:
"You have made for me a feeling already that something should be given. I move that we give three cheers for China."
"I'm sorry that my engagements prevent my attending your charity concert, but I shall be with you in spirit."
"Splendid! And where would you like your spirit to sit? I have tickets here for half a dollar, a dollar and two dollars."
