CASE OF “DO UNTO OTHERS.
Grandma’s Sizing Up of the Situation
Showed Pretty Good Judgment
of Human Nature.
*
The wise man Solomon remarked a
long time ago that if a man is to have
friends, he must show himself friend
ly; and it might be said now that if a
man is himself a good neighbor, he
is mightly likely to have good neigh
bors—as a rule. *
On this point we recently ran across
an interesting farm story, fresh from
the prairies of the west. The moral
is one that cannot be too often empha
sized; and this is the story as the
American Co-Operative Journal gives
it:
“They tell of an old grandma who i
was sitting in front of her home, knit
ting in the sunshine, when an immi
grant with covered wagon drew up his
team and gave them a rest and drink.
“ Howdy!’ spoke up grandma,
“Where be you a’goin’?’
“ ‘To Nebraska, grandma.’
“ ‘An’ where be you from?’
“ ‘From back in Indiana state.’
“‘Wall, I s’pose you jest hated to
leave the old home and neighbors?’ *
again asked grandma.
“ ‘No! ’Deed we did not; we had the
peskiest, meanest neighbors; we was
glad to get shed of ’em.’
“ ‘Yes, but you’ll find plenty more
just like ’em where you’re a-goin’.
And then grandma went on knitting.
“A few days later another immi
grant wagon with its family drew up
at the water trough. And again grand
ma asked the usual questions as to
where they were going and where they
were from.
“But this time the answer to the
question of whether they did not hate
to berak up old home ties was differ
ent.
“ ‘Indeed, we did hate to leave,
grandma. It nearly broke our hearts.
We had the best neighbors that any- *
one ever had.’
“ ‘Yes,’ consoled grandma, ‘I know
how ’tis, but you’ll find plenty more
just like ’em where you’re a-goin.’ ”—
The Progressive Farmer.

The shades of night were falling fast,
As down the street a thin girl passed;
She slipped and sat down on the ice,
But she wore a shock-absorbing de
