公民和蛇

Belinda

A PUBLIC-SPIRITED Citizen who had failed miserably in trying to

secure a National political convention for his city suffered

acutely from dejection. While in that frame of mind he leaned

thoughtlessly against a druggists show-window, wherein were one

hundred and fifty kinds of assorted snakes. The glass breaking,

the reptiles all escaped into the street.

"When you cant do what you wish," said the Public-spirited

Citizen, "it is worth while to do what you can."
