“Makes a feller feel quite like a man to help some one else along a little besides himself, doesn’t it Bill, old boy?” Andy asked one day.

And Bill replied,

“Guess it does! We can’t do much, but even our little is worth givin’, ’specially when a cove saves it himself: guess our Sunday-school teacher was right; let’s see, what was that verse she said?—‘It is more blesseder to—to give away a part, than to receive all inter yourself,’—I believe that was about it, and so much better than wastin’ it on a senseless lark!”
