"Oh, right off," exclaimed Ralph, impulsively.
Then taking the card he approached Aunt Inez with a low bow and said, "Miss Hill, I called to see if you would not like to give me a small sum, five or ten cents for the poor negro."
"You'll do," said Aunt Inez, smilingly, handing Ralph the ten cents, while he energetically pricked two very distinct holes in the blue card.
"There," continued Ralph, "Now see if I don't get a missionary letter for the next Sunday-school concert. Before the year is out, I'll be a life member of the A.M.A."
Is there any other boy or girl who would like to be a collector?
If so, please raise hands.
—The Advance.
