Faithful to His Trust.

I was waiting jiear the elevator In the factory building fbr my friend to come down when I noticed a small boy sitting in one corner of the hall holding a large, thick sandwich. He eyed the sandwich lovingly for a long time, then he carefully lifted off the top slice of bread, took out a piece of dill pickle, ate It, and replaced all as be-, fore. In a -few seconds he again removed the top pieefe, extracted a piece of pickle and a piece of meat and replaced the top. Again and again the performance was repeated until all the pickle and almost air the meat were gone, the .sandwich, however, appearing intact as at the beginning. ; "Why don’t you eat up your sandwich and not pick, at it in that way?” I asked the boy, with some curiosity. “Why,” he answered, looking up with great lnnocence, ‘*ft sdn’t my sandwich.”—Woman’s Home Companion.
