Democratic Sentinel, Volume 14, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 June 1890 — He Was a Good Boy. [ARTICLE]

He Was a Good Boy.

A boy who was trying to get a box into the top of a shade tree on Charlotte avenue was asked by a pedestrian what his object was, and he replied : “It’s for a robin’s nest." “But why not let her make her own?” “Oh, this will save her the time and trouble." It was a soap-box filled with feathers, and while that boy may wonder as the days go by whv the robins don’t nest again, his goodness of heart will some day make a great man of him.— Detroit Free Preaa.
